MasukCeleste Winters was born chosen, marked by the Moon Goddess, destined for power, and tied to a future she never fully wanted. But when a cursed moonstone dagger strikes her down, it doesn’t just nearly kill her; it erases her. Her memories vanish, her bond to her mate is severed, and the power that once defined her is ripped away, leaving behind someone unrecognizable, even to herself. In a desperate attempt to save her, those closest to her turn to the Moonwell, an ancient force said to heal what cannot be fixed. The water answers, but not with mercy. Instead of restoring Celeste, it changes her. What the moonstone stole, it replaced, twisting something inside her into its opposite. Now, Celeste is caught in a battle she cannot control. One moment, she seems almost like herself, quiet, distant, but there. The next, something darker takes over. The air around her grows heavy, her presence sharp and unfamiliar, and the world itself begins to react to her in ways it never has before. She knows something is wrong, but trying to remember only causes pain, forcing her further into the unknown version of herself she’s becoming. As the truth unfolds, it becomes clear that the moonstone obeyed an ancient balance, stripping her of her light and replacing it with darkness. And now, that darkness is winning. With time running out, Silas must find a way to reach the girl he lost before she’s gone for good. Because if Celeste fully becomes what the moonstone made her… There may be nothing left to save.

But from something closer to caution.The smoke remained visible through the trees ahead, steady and deliberate. Not accidental. Not wild.Someone was maintaining that fire.Cedric led them forward carefully, his steps measured as the trail narrowed further between ancient pines. Snow crunched softly beneath boots while wind moved through branches overhead, carrying the faint scent of burning wood.Celeste walked beside Silas, her attention fixed ahead even as her thoughts moved elsewhere.The mountains felt different here.Older.Like they remembered things the rest of the world had forgotten."Stay close," Silas said quietly, though his tone wasn't sharp. Just aware.She nodded once, her fingers brushing lightly against her cloak as they continued forward.More markers appeared as they walked.A post driven into stone, its surface carved with symbols worn nearly smooth by time.

Hi guys. I want to start by apologizing. I started June doing really well with daily updates, but ended up falling off. Well, I wanted to explain. I had finished school, but I unfortunetly did not receive my diploma. I had something of a mental breakdown, and kind of went into a depressive episode. (My episodes can be particularly bad due to my bipolar 1.) Not long after my dog started to have issues, and he was rushed to the vet, and it did cost a pretty penny. I currently do not have a job, so I was very stressed trying to find ways to pay for this, but I had family that was willing to help, but stressed none the less. Lastly, close to the end of June, my fiancé and I decided to move because he had a job offer that was far better than where he is currently, and so we have been out of town multiple times trying to find a place to live so he can soon start. (Why is it so hard to find a place to rent?)Lastly, we are moving next weekend now. Being in a new place away from all of my fam
Morning arrived colder than the day before.The fire had burned low sometime during the night, leaving behind more ash than warmth while frost gathered faintly along the edges of nearby stone. Snow still covered the mountains beyond camp in smooth layers untouched by movement, pale morning light stretching quietly between the trees while colder wind moved softly through the ridge above them.Celeste woke slowly.For a moment, she stayed where she was beneath the blanket, staring toward the gray light filtering through the trees while the memory from the night before settled uneasily at the edge of her thoughts.White fur.Moonlight.A howl that had felt familiar in ways she still could not explain.She still wasn’t entirely sure if she had imagined it.The mountains did strange things to silence. Shadows stretched differently here. Distance played tricks. Maybe exhaustion had simply caught up with her.Still…The image lingered.Too clear to fully dismiss.Movement nearby pulled her a
The rest of the afternoon moved differently after the ridge collapsed.No one said much about it at first, though the shift lingered quietly beneath everything. Nobody looked frightened exactly, but everyone had noticed the same thing.Celeste had known.The path narrowed again as they moved higher through the mountains, snow crunching steadily beneath careful steps while wind carried colder air through the trees. Conversation stayed quieter than before until Leo eventually broke the silence like he physically could not tolerate it any longer.“To be fair,” he said, glancing back toward Celeste, “your instincts in snow were always annoyingly good.”Celeste looked up slightly, “What does that mean?”Leo shrugged, “It means winter was your thing.”“That sounded weird,” Victoria muttered.“You know what I mean,” He looked back toward Celeste again, “You used to disappear during storms all the time."Victoria blinked, “I’ll never understand leaving the warmth of a building.”Leo ignored h
Celeste barely slept.Every time she drifted close to sleep, the whisper found its way back to her, quiet enough that she almost convinced herself she had imagined it the first time.Don’t go.Sometimes it sounded distant, soft enough to blend with the wind moving outside the balcony doors. Other t
The air outside felt different. Celeste noticed it the moment she stepped beyond the doors, her pace slowing slightly as if her body needed a second to adjust to something it should have already understood. The garden stretched out in front of her, wide and carefully taken care of. The paths wind
The world outside was waking up, but inside the room, everything still felt suspended, like time had decided to slow down and sit still for a while.Celeste hadn’t moved.She lay exactly where they had left her, blankets pulled up around her, dark hair spread across the pillow in a
The room had settled into a controlled quiet, the kind that did not come naturally but was instead held in place by careful restraint, as though every person inside understood that even the smallest disruption might undo whatever fragile balance Celeste’s body had finally reached. The faint scent of
