MOONBORN: THE REJECTED MATE'S RISE CHAPTER 47:
Aria’s POVThe Choice the Moon Couldn’t Undo.The darkness waited for me. It didn’t breathe, it didn’t move, it watched.Every instinct in my body screamed at me to stop. To turn around. To kneel and wait for judgment.But I didn’t.The shadow lifted itself from the mist like liquid black fire. It twisted, curling and coiling, until it grew tall and solid, a presence heavy enough to press the air from my lungs. I felt it first in my bones, then in my blood, an echo of fear I had buried for years. Even Cato, Elias, and Dorian flanking me stiffened, claws flexing, muscles tense.And then the light came. Blinding. Sharp. Living. A radiance so raw it burned against my skin. My eyes stung as it split the darkness apart. The mist fled like smoke, curling back into corners that no longer existed.Three figures emerged, tall and impossibly commanding. Veiled in silver flame, their faces hidden beneath veils of starlight.The Moon Mothers.I should have knelt. Every fiber of me knew I should b
MOONBORN: THE REJECTED MATE'S RISE CHAPTER 46
Aria’s POVThe Realm That Remembered My Pain:The moment I stepped forward, the world I knew vanished immediately.There was no ground beneath my feet, only a cold, silver mist that wrapped around my ankles like fingers. It crawled up my legs, slow and deliberate, as if the ancestral spirit realm was tasting me.Judging me.“Do not turn back,” a voice echoed from everywhere and nowhere at once. Old. Powerful. Unforgiving. “Walk.”My heart slammed against my ribs. “I didn’t come here to be punished,” I whispered.The realm didn’t answer. Slowly, I took another step.The mist thickened, and suddenly the air shifted. The cold changed into something sharper. Familiar.I was no longer in the spirit realm.I was home.Or at least… what had once been called home.I stood in the center of a pack hall I hadn’t seen in years. The walls were the same. The smell was the same. But the eyes are watching me.They were cruel. Whispers rose instantly. “She’s back?”“Why would she come here?”“She was
MOONBORN: THE REJECTED MATE'S RISE CHAPTER 45
Magnu’s POVWhen Aria woke up, I thought I had calculated every outcome. That was my first mistake.The ritual circle burned beneath my feet, ancient symbols rising like fire-serpents around my legs. Power thundered through my veins, raw and intoxicating. The walls of the Citadel trembled, stone groaning as if the building itself wanted to flee from what I was becoming.Behind me, Aria should have stayed down. She didn’t.I felt it before I saw it, a pressure shift in the air, sharp and wrong. Like the moment before lightning strikes.I turned just in time to see her stand.Not crawl. Not struggle.Just standing.Her eyes were glowing.Not with rage. Not with fear.But with something older.“What…?” I breathed. Aria lifted her head slowly, like she was waking from a dream she had been trapped in for years. Light bled from the markings spreading across her arms, sigils I had only seen once before, etched into forbidden texts the Councils swore were myths.Awakened blood. “No,” I whis
MOONBORN: THE REJECTED MATE'S RISE CHAPTER 44:
Magnus POVI learned the truth on a night that refused to stay quiet.The wind howled through the broken towers of the Citadel, dragging old ash across the stone floor like it was trying to erase me. I stood alone in the prophecy chamber, staring at words carved so deep into the wall they looked like scars.They were never meant to crown me.They were meant to end me.I laughed at first. A short, sharp sound that echoed too loudly. “Figures,” I muttered. “The universe never did like me.”The runes burned faintly as I touched them. Blood magic. Ancient. Older than the Councils. Older than mercy.He who bends the age will be undone by the age.His reign ends not in power, but in silence. Death.I clenched my fist. For years, they told me the prophecy spoke of a ruler, someone who would rise, break the old order, and sit above kings. They let me believe it. No, they pushed me to believe it.All so I would walk willingly toward my own execution.“You lying bastards,” I whispered to the e
MOONBORN: THE REJECTED MATE'S RISE CHAPTER 43:
Chapter 43 – The Price of BetrayalKael's POV The curse wakes me before the pain does. It always starts in my chest, tight, crushing, like invisible hands closing around my heart. Then it spreads. Fire through my veins. Ice in my bones. A reminder carved into my body for one simple crime.“I betrayed my true mate.”I gasp, jerking upright as agony slams into me so hard I fall off the bed. My knees hit a stone. My palms burn. My vision fractures.“Not again,” I choke. “Please, not now.”The curse doesn’t listen. It never does.I claw at my chest as the mark flares beneath my skin, black veins crawling outward like living things. Every pulse of pain carries a memory with it.Aria’s eyes looked at me like she didn’t know me anymore.Aria’s voice when she said my name, as it hurt her to speak it.Aria turned away because I was too weak, too afraid, too blind to fight the lies fed to us.“Say it,” the curse whispers in my head. “Say what you are.”“I know,” I growl through clenched teet
MOONBORN: THE REJECTED MATE'S RISE CHAPTER 42:
Kael's POV I thought the bond was dead.That was the lie I had wrapped my heart around with, the lie I used to breathe.I was standing on the balcony when it happened. Night wind. Iron clouds. The city below is glowing like nothing in my chest ever could. I was counting breaths, trying not to think of her, when pain ripped through me so fast I dropped to my knees. Not mine.Hers. Aria.I gasped, my fingers digging into stone as fire tore through my ribs. My vision shattered white, then red. My heart slammed so hard I thought it would break my bones.“No,” I whispered. “No. That’s not possible.”The bond was supposed to be broken. Snapped. Burned away by choice and betrayal and blood.So why did I feel her scream inside my skull? The pain wasn’t physical at first. It was worse. Fear. Sharp and choking. The kind that freezes your lungs and makes your soul curl in on itself.“Aria,” I breathed, the name ripping out of me like a wound.Her emotions crashed into me in waves: panic, grief
