WORDS THAT BURN

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-07 23:38:24

Azrael’s breath caught in her throat. “What?” Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Valerion stood before her, his expression unreadable.

“Draven wrote me a letter?”

Her father gave a single nod. “Yes.”

The air in the chamber grew heavier, thick with something unspoken. Azrael’s mind raced.

"Draven reached out to me?" she thought, "Why didn't I hear of this sooner? A letter could mean so many things—an explanation, a warning, a plea."

She stepped forward, eyes locked onto her father’s. “Where is it?”

Valerion didn’t answer.

Her jaw clenched. “Father. Where is the letter?”

Still, he remained silent.

Azrael followed his gaze, her golden eyes flicking toward the large fireplace in the corner. The embers still glowed a deep red, the charred remains of burned parchment barely distinguishable within the flickering flames.

Her breath hitched.

“You…” She swallowed, feeling her chest tighten. “You burned it?”

A long silence stretched between them. Valerion didn’t need to confirm it. His silen

    Eva’s sharp gaze locked onto Azrael, the letter caught delicately between her fingers. The silence in the chamber stretched between them like a drawn blade, heavy with unspoken tension.“Who is this letter for?” Eva repeated, her voice deceptively calm.Azrael’s mind raced, but her expression remained unreadable. A lie had to be swift and seamless, woven with enough truth to be believed. She let out a soft, exasperated sigh and reached out, plucking the letter from Eva’s grasp with deliberate ease.“It’s for Lord Callan,” she said smoothly, naming one of the vampire nobles who had supported her in court. “He asked me to draft a message concerning the upcoming council meeting. I had only just finished when you walked in.”Eva’s brow arched, skepticism flickering in her blue eyes. “And why hide it behind your back like some guilty child caught sneaking sweets?”Azrael forced a smirk, rolling her eyes as if Eva’s suspicion were nothing but an inconvenience. “Because I knew you’d pester m

  • FORBIDDEN ROMANCE: A KISS OF BLOOD & MOONLIGHT   WORDS OF THE HEART

    Azrael sat at her grand ebony writing desk, the glow of the candelabra casting flickering shadows across the parchment. A silver dagger rested beside her, its sharp edge still glistening with her own blood. She dipped the quill into the crimson liquid pooled on the desk, her strokes steady as she wrote."Draven,I should have written sooner. I should have reached out the moment I knew. But my father… he intercepted your letter. He burned it before I could read it. I only found out after confronting him.I now know what you wrote to me, and I know it was extremely important. And I know that if you had the choice, you would have told me yourself.I’m sorry for the silence.I really don't know how to feel about your mother arranging another mate for you. And announcing her as your Luna and marking her in front of your entire pack.Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine that somewhere, maybe in an alternate reality, that would be you and me. You announcing me as Luna to your pack and marki

  • FORBIDDEN ROMANCE: A KISS OF BLOOD & MOONLIGHT   THE COUNCIL'S FURY

    The war hall was thick with tension. The scent of blood and smoke from the previous night’s attack still clung to the air like a warning. The council chamber, built from dark stone was filled with the growls and heated voices of Draven’s most trusted lycans. The long oak table in the center of the room bore maps, reports, and bloodstained weapons from the fallen warriors of their pack.Eryx, standing at Draven’s right, leaned over the table, fists clenched, his hazel eyes burning with fury. “This was an act of war!” he growled, his voice cold and unforgiving. “We lost good members of our pack last night. Our people deserve vengeance. We must retaliate immediately.” he added, his expression dark. “We cannot sit back and allow the vampires to think they can strike at us without consequences!”Across from them, Diana sat with her arms crossed, her piercing gaze locked onto Draven. “The council demands action, Draven,” she said sharply. “We were ambushed—again. It was planned. Organized.

  • FORBIDDEN ROMANCE: A KISS OF BLOOD & MOONLIGHT   BREWING WARS & MISUNDERSTANDINGS

    The grand ballroom, once a scene of opulence and power, now lay in ruin. Blood pooled across the marble floors, glistening under the dim torchlight. The bodies had been cleared, but the scent of death still clung to the air. Nobles whispered among themselves as they made their way out, their once pristine gowns now tainted with the remnants of battle. The surviving guests, shaken and pale, dispersed into the night, each returning to their respective homes, their minds heavy with what had transpired.Seraphim stood near the grand entrance, his long black cloak barely disturbed by the cold night breeze. The carriage awaiting him was as grand as the man himself—crafted from obsidian, silver and gold, pulled by six midnight-black steeds with crimson eyes. House Blackthorne, ever the gracious hosts, stood around him, seeing him off.Valerion faced the King of Norrix, his crimson gaze unreadable. “This was not just an attack,” Valerion said, his voice deep and unwavering. “It was a declarat

  • FORBIDDEN ROMANCE: A KISS OF BLOOD & MOONLIGHT   THE INEVITABLE

    It was nothing but total silence.No more howls of rage. No more screams of the dying. Only the distant crackling of torches and the labored breaths of the surviving Lycans filled the cold night air.Draven stood in the center of it all, his bare feet planted in the blood soaked earth. The moon, high and full, cast a silver glow over the carnage, illuminating the severed limbs, the gaping wounds, the broken bodies of both Vampire and Lycan alike. The ceremonial grounds, once a sacred place, were now nothing but a slaughterhouse.The smell was suffocating—copper, burnt flesh, the sharp scent of fear and rage lingering in the air. Blood painted the ground in deep pools, congealing beneath his feet.Draven exhaled slowly, his chest rising and falling with measured control. Around him, the rest of his warriors shifted back into their human forms, panting, bruised, some clutching their wounds, but all still standing. Their victory had come at a cost.Cyrus wiped the back of his hand across
