Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath Chapter 44: The Mirror Alpha.
Kael’s POVConsciousness slammed back into me like a storm breaking, fragmented, jagged, gold and silver light clashing in my vision. My body felt wrong, split down the middle.Half of me remained bound to the pyre, chains of mirror-light digging into my wrists and chest, holding me upright like a puppet. The other half stood on the ash below, facing Lyra with feral silver eyes that burned with a hunger I recognized too well.The bond between us throbbed like an open wound, pulsing with her shock, her fear and her love.Lyra stood there, bleeding from her side, her hybrid form flickering as she stared at the reflection of me. “Kael… please tell me it’s you,” she whispered, her voice cracking through the bond, a desperate plea that cut deeper than any blade.I tried to answer. To tell her I was here, fighting. But the words that came out were layered, my voice twisted with the Mirror Kael’s cold timbre. “You called me forth,” the reflection said, its smile widening. “The perfect Alpha.
Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath Chapter 43: The Howl Between Worlds.
Lyra’s POV.The silver hands dragged me into the abyss, and the Cinder Roads sealed above me like a tomb. Darkness swallowed everything, no light, no sound and just the crushing pressure of the mirror realm closing around my body.My lungs burned for air that wouldn’t come. My claws scraped uselessly against the liquid metal gripping my wrists, my ankles, and my throat. I screamed Kael’s name, but the sound never left my mouth. It was swallowed by the void.Then, breathe. It slammed back into me like a physical blow, cold and sharp and alive. My eyes snapped open to a cavern of endless silver, every surface a perfect mirror reflecting me back at myself a thousand times over.I pushed to my feet, hybrid claws scraping against the glassy floor. The air thrummed with a low, predatory pulse, the Mirror Hunger inside me coiling tighter, eager and hungry.My first thought was Kael. His name tore through my mind like a lifeline. Kael, the bond flickered, faint but there and a single thread o
Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath Chapter 42: Silver Below.
Lyra’s POVThe silver hands dragged me down without mercy, fingers like liquid metal clamping around my wrists, ankles, and throat. The Cinder Roads’ glassy surface shattered beneath me, while fracturing into a thousand reflections that swallowed my scream.I clawed at the air, but there was no air, only suffocating pressure and a weight that crushed lungs and hope alike. The world above vanished in a ripple of mercury light and I fell.Then, breathe.It rushed back into me like a slap, cold and sharp. My eyes snapped open to a cavern vast and shimmering, every surface a mirror polished to perfection.Silver light pulsed from veins in the walls, casting no shadows, only endless duplicates of myself staring back. I pushed to my feet, hybrid claws scraping against the reflective floor. The air hummed with a low, predatory thrum, the Mirror Hunger inside me coiling tighter and eager.My first thought was Kael.His name tore through my mind like a lifeline. Kael. The bond flickered, faint
Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath Chapter 41: The Fractured Blade.
Kael’s POVThe first thing I felt was the smile. It sat on my face like a mask someone else had glued there, too wide, too calm and too wrong. My eyes snapped open to a silver glow that wasn’t mine and the hand resting on my cheek belonged to a woman who wore Lyra’s face but none of her fire. Doppel-Lyra’s thumb brushed my jaw, testing, claiming. Across the chamber, Lyra lunged, hybrid claws half-formed and silver-black fur rippling over her arms. She made it two steps before the Mirror Hunger inside her detonated. Silver veins locked her muscles; her vision fogged with reflected terror. She dropped to one knee, fighting for breath and fighting for me.I tried to say her name. What came out was layered, my voice braided with something colder, older and hungrier. “The Blade is mine to wield.”Lyra’s head jerked up. Recognition and horror warred in her eyes, not full possession but a fracture. I was still here, buried beneath the imprint, watching through a cracked pane of glass whil
Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath Chapter 40: The Mirror Hunger.
Lyra’s POVThe silver veins in Kael’s wound writhed like living mercury and snaked across his chest in jagged lines that pulsed with the same cold light as my mark. His knees buckled fully now, his weight sagging against me as I clutched him to the cavern floor.The stone beneath us was slick with dust and blood, the air thick with the metallic tang of magic gone feral. I pressed both palms over the gash, willing the bond to hold and to push back.But the corruption only crawled faster, tendrils leaping from his skin to mine and seeking the matching silver on my shoulder.Doppel-Lyra stood three paces away, arms folded, her face... my face all tilted in calm observation. “Watch,” she said, with a soft voice and almost kind voice.“Watch the Blade unmake itself for the Vessel. It’s poetic, really.”Behind her, the Eclipse Order witches formed a loose circle, with their chants rising in a low and hungry cadence.Dorian remained chained to the shattered altar, head hanging, but his eyes,
Fated to Ruin the Luna - Crimson Moon Oath Chapter 39: Into the Eclipse.
Kael’s POVThe rift's collapse echoed like a dying thunder, the elders' primordial energy sealing the portal with a final and resounding crack that vibrated through my bones.The battlefield fell into stunned silence, the air thick with the acrid scent of scorched earth and spilled blood. Lyra lay crumpled in the dirt, her abdomen no longer glowing with that terrifying urgency.The heir's surge was halted, for now, by the ancients' intervention. One of them, the lupine giant, had extended a tendril of iridescent force, weaving a temporary ward around her and binding the child's essence back into dormancy."It sleeps," the elder rumbled, its voice like grinding gravel. "But the fracture remains. Guard it well."I scooped Lyra into my arms, her weight slight against my chest and her breathing shallow but steady. The bond pulsed between us, a lifeline amid the wreckage.Selene, her form fully mortal now, the Seer's light extinguished, collapsed nearby, supported by a few surviving Vale w
