I didn’t sleep.

Neither did Riven.

We stayed in the moonblind chamber long after the shadow disappeared. The mark on his back had faded to a dull red; no more pulses, no more whispers, but it hadn’t vanished.

I traced the edge of it with my finger, gently.

“I thought I could carry it,” he said, voice hoarse.

“You don’t have to.”

He gave a faint smile. “We both know that’s not true.”

I pressed my forehead to his.

For one moment, we didn’t talk about the bond. Or the Gate. Or the prophecy.

We just breathed.

But peace never lasted here.

An hour after sunrise, the Seer’s raven tapped against the high window, claws clicking against the old stone.

A message tied to its leg.

I opened it without thinking.

Five words written in black ink.

Thorne is awake. And asking.

We ran.

Up from the lower chambers, past the ruined watchtower stairs, through the warded corridor. My heart beat faster with every step.

Not fear.

Not excitement.

Something stranger.

Something like… calling.

  • Bound to the moon   Chapter 74 - The child’s power is awakening.

    He turned and walked away, but not before casting one final glance over his shoulder.“One of them will burn. And when it does… don’t come crawling back to me.”The fire died slowly. The clearing returned to silence, save for the wind whispering through the trees.I sank to my knees, my hands shaking.Kael knelt beside me, his hand hesitating before brushing against mine.“I meant it,” he said quietly. “I don’t know what’s happening to us… but I won’t let you face this alone.”Riven stood nearby, arms crossed. Silent. Watching.Thorne exhaled and knelt beside us both.“You’re not alone,” he said.But even then… even with all three of them beside me…The fire inside still flickered wildly.The child inside me still pulsed with something I didn’t fully understand.And far away, I could still feel Celeste’s presence… like she was waiting for the moment I’d break.That night, I dreamed of fire.But this time… the flames weren’t mine.They were the child’s.And they were already choosing w

  • Bound to the moon   Chapter 73 - You cannot save her. And you cannot save the child.

    The word echoed like thunder.“Child?”Elder Darius’ voice was laced with disgust. He looked at me like I was something unholy, something that needed to be extinguished.Kael stared too, frozen, silent. His eyes wide and unreadable, but the bond between us… It stuttered like a dying flame.Thorne was the first to speak. “You don’t touch her.”Darius ignored him. “Is it true?” He snapped. “Are you pregnant, girl?”I stood my ground, hand instinctively pressed over my stomach. “Yes, I am.”Riven moved closer to me, slow but deliberate. “And if you come for her, you’ll have to go through me first.”Darius laughed. It was bitter and sharp. “Of course you’d be the first to throw yourself at her feet. You’ve always been ruled by your instincts.”“I’m ruled by loyalty,” Riven growled. “Something you clearly abandoned the moment you started seeing her as the enemy.”Darius’ gaze returned to me. “You claim this child is yours. But it isn’t just yours, is it? You’ve bonded with all three of my

  • Bound to the moon   Chapter 72 - She’s the only reason I’m still breathing

    The guards moved forward, their heavy boots cracking twigs as they stepped into the circle of firelight.Riven’s blade was out before I even breathed. “You touch her, you die.”“Riven,” Darius said, his tone dripping with disdain. “You’ve always been the reckless one. Are you going to defy me now? For her?”“For her?” Riven’s lips curled in a dangerous smile. “She’s the only reason I’m still breathing. So yes, I’ll defy you, old man.”“Kael.” Darius’ voice snapped like a whip. His gaze locked on his eldest son. “Get your brother under control. You know she’s a danger to this pack, to all of us.”Kael didn’t answer. He looked at me, his jaw tight, his eyes unreadable.“Kael…” I whispered, my throat tight. “Please.”For a moment, the bond between us trembled, uncertain.“Father,” Kael said finally, his voice low but firm. “You don’t understand. Rory—”“I understand enough,” Darius interrupted sharply. “I see what she’s doing to you. To all of you. You’ve turned against your own blood b

  • Bound to the moon   Chapter 71 - A cursed child growing inside the Gateborn witch

    Kael stirred against me, his breath shallow, his weight heavy in my arms. I didn’t realize I was crying until my tears sizzled against the fire still pulsing from my skin. I’d burned through Celeste’s shadows to save him.And it felt like I’d burned myself in the process.“Kael… you’re safe,” I whispered, brushing the blood and ash from his face.His eyes opened slowly, dark gold but clouded, like he didn’t know if I was real. “Rory… you—” His voice broke, and I pressed a finger to his lips.“Don’t talk. Just breathe.”Riven stood nearby, his expression carved from stone. He looked between me and Kael, his jaw tight.“You almost died saving him,” Riven said, his tone low, rough. “If I hadn’t taken half that fire—“I had to save him,” I snapped, though my voice trembled.Kael flinched slightly at the edge in my tone, his gaze shifting between us. “You… you let him take your fire?”The way he said it, quiet, accusing, twisted something deep in my chest.“Kael,” I whispered, “don’t do th

  • Bound to the moon   Chapter 70 - It seems my little flame is learning how to burn.

    Thorne’s hands gripped my shoulders. “Rory, look at me. We’ll find him. Whatever this is, it’s not too late.”Riven’s gaze was dark, sharp as a blade. “It’s Celeste. This reeks of her.” His voice was low, almost a growl. “She’s hurting him to get to you.”The silver wolf’s voice slid through my mind like smoke.“And it’s working. She knows you’ll come running. She’s counting on it.”“I don’t care what she wants,” I said, my voice shaking but fierce. “Kael’s mine. I’m not letting her have him.”Riven exchanged a glance with Thorne, the kind that said they both knew this was a trap, but neither of them tried to stop me.“Then we move now,” Riven said, already strapping his blade back onto his belt. “Before that bond goes dark.”We ran. Through the burning ruins of the courtyard, past the wounded soldiers whispering as we passed, Daughter of Fire, dangerous, not one of us. I heard them, but I didn’t care.The fire in my blood drowned out everything but Kael.His pain was pulling me like

    Kael didn’t look back.The moment he walked into the shadows of the courtyard, I felt it—the bond was stretching, cracking, and bleeding. The pain hit so hard I doubled over, clutching my chest.“Rory!” Thorne caught me before I fell, his strong arms steady even as his face was pale with worry.“He’s breaking the bond,” I gasped. “I can feel it—”Thorne’s jaw clenched. “Kael’s stubborn, but he’s not that stupid. He’ll come back. He just needs—”“He’s hurt,” I whispered. My voice trembled, tears stinging my eyes. “Not just from the shadow… from me.”A low groan pulled me from my thoughts.Riven.He was lying on the ground, his skin slick with sweat, his mark glowing faintly like an ember about to die out.“Riven!” I crawled to him, grabbing his hand. “I’m here. I’m right here.”His dark eyes fluttered open, heavy-lidded but sharp even in pain. “You… pulled too much,” he rasped.“You told me to,” I shot back, my voice breaking. “I thought I lost you—”He smirked faintly, even now. “Woul
