The Unseen War

"She was right here." I tried to hold back my anger, so my voice was a low growl that was dangerous. "She was right next to me..." She's gone now."

It smelled like fear in the council room. This is not the kind you see in fights. This is the kind that rots from the inside out, with distrust, anxiety, and the poison of betrayal. Everybody looked quickly from one face to the next, hoping to find a crack, a clue, or a confession.

Marcellus began, "Lucian, maybe she stepped outside" but I stopped him.

"No." The nails on the wooden table were smashed so hard that they lit the candles on fire. "Elara doesn't just disappear. "Not unless someone made her do it."

Aaron moved around awkwardly. He was still pale from the hurt he got in the battle. "You think it’s one of us?"

I looked at their faces. There are old friends, new friends, and maybe even enemies who are dressed up as friends. "I know it's one of us." Damien has his hands in this room. They are getting tighter around ou

  • Claiming his Runaway Luna   Chapter 147

    Shattered VowsThe storm inside me broke the moment I saw them together. Her hand brushed against his, her eyes soft, conflicted on him as though he held the answer to questions she had never dared to ask aloud. And burning, trembling stood in the shadows, watching the woman I had sworn to protect standing beside the man who had deceived me all my life. “Step away from her.” My voice cracked through the ruins like lightning splitting stone. Elara spun around, her mouth parting in shock. “Lucian…” The half-brother my blood, my curse didn't move. Instead, he smiled, smug and sharp, like a blade pressed against my throat. “You came. How predictable.” I stepped forward, my boots echoing against the cracked stones. “You think you can rewrite her heart, but you’ve already lost.” He tilted his head, calm as if my rage were nothing more than a child’s tantrum. “Lost? She came with me willingly. She wanted answers. Answers you were too afraid to give.” My chest hurts. Every word he spo

    Secrets in the RuinsThe quiet was the first thing I did. Not the soft hush of the forest, but the kind that pushed into your bones, heavy and unnatural. My breath came short as the half-brother led me deeper into the ruins, crumbling stone walls, broken columns, moss twisting over the ground like veins. “This place feels… alive,” I whispered, shaking even though the air was warm. He glanced at me, a half-smile that carried too much sadness. “It should. Once, it was more than stone. It was where we dreamed of a future.” His words tugged at the frail threads of memory inside me. Shadows of images stirred laughter under stars, hands entwined, vows spoken in whispers. My heart squeezed painfully. “You keep saying that,” I mumbled. “That we had a future. That I picked you once. But how can I believe it when everything feels like a broken mirror?” “Because it was stolen from you,” he said sharply, moving closer. “Stolen by Lucian. He rewrote your life, Elara. He made you

    The Betrayer’s BladeThe forest smelled of iron and smoke. My breath came sharp, ragged, and filled with fear. Bodies lay scattered, the trap finally quiet, but the sounds of blades clashing still rang in my ears. Lucian’s hand was shaking around his sword. His face was streaked with bloodsome his own, most not. His dark eyes cut toward me, not with comfort but with anger. “You almost died,” he rasped, his voice low and edged with something dangerous. Before I could answer, another voice rose from the darkness. “She would have died if not for me.” The masked torture, my rescuer, my cursestepped forward. His blade dripped red. He pulled the mask from his face, showing those eyes that matched Lucian’s. Eyes that haunted me. My throat tightened. I could still feel the moment he’d thrown himself between me and the assassin’s blade, pulling me out of death’s reach. Lucian spun on him, rage barely controlled. “You dare touch her again, and I swear I’ll” “You’ll what?” The

    The Hunt in the ShadowsThe forest swallowed every sound except the pounding of my own heartbeat and the distant rustle of her frantic steps. The night air was sharp, thick with mist, and yet her scent cut through it like fire on snow. She was close. Too close to losing herself to him. Too close to slipping away from me forever.“Elara!” My voice cracked against the trees, raw, desperate. “Stop running from me!”Her shadow darted between the trunks ahead, fleeting, fragile yet burning with defiance.“I can’t stop,” her cry came back, breathless, breaking. “Not when the truth feels like a blade in my chest!”Branches whipped at my face as I pushed harder. My lungs burned, but I didn’t care. She couldn’t vanish into the night with his lies lodged in her heart.I caught a flicker of movement, her figure illuminated by the pale moonlight, and I lunged. She spun, trying to dodge, but my arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her against me with the force of everything I hadn’t said. Her bac

    Fractured LoyaltiesThe first thing I felt was pain. Not the sharp kind, but the heavy ache that pressed against my chest as though my heart had been torn in two. When my eyes blinked open, shadows swirled above me, torchlight flickering against rough stone walls.And then voices.Two voices.One, raw with fury. The other, calm like poisoned honey.“Stay away from her.”“She doesn’t belong to you, brother. She never did.”The words pierced through my fog, and I gasped softly. Both men froze, and in the thick silence, I realized this was no nightmare.I pushed myself up, my arms trembling as I looked at them. Lucian, his face tight with rage, stood on one side. On the other, the masked manno, the man who had revealed his face, Lucian’s half-brother. His eyes, so familiar yet so foreign, burned into mine as if I was the answer to a question he’d been asking all his life.My lips trembled. “Why… why do you both look at me like I’m a prize to be won?”Lucian took a step closer, his voice

    Doppelgänger’s TruthThe voice echoed like a curse through the fortress chamber, dragging nails across the edge of Lucian’s heart.“She was mine before she was ever yours.”Lucian’s hand tightened around the hilt of his blade. His chest rose and fell like a storm crashing against jagged cliffs. He had fought battles, he had bled in wars, but nothing had ever shaken him like those words.The man before him stood tall, unmasked now. The torchlight painted his features, and Lucian felt as though he were staring at his own reflection only colder, sharper, touched by shadows instead of flame.His half-brother. A brother he had buried in memory, a ghost returned from the grave.Lucian’s voice cracked the silence.“You should be dead.”The other man smirked. “And yet here I stand. Did you miss me, brother?”Elara’s trembling gasp broke the tension. Her hand clutched at her chest, her eyes darting between the two of them as if the world had betrayed her.“Brothers? No. No, this isn’t real. Th
