The first drop of blood fell just before dawn.

It wasn’t spilled in battle.

It came from the mirror.

Selene was the first to see it. She’d risen early, unable to sleep, drawn by the low hum that pulsed from the cracked Elunari Gate. She found herself staring at its surface again, hands trembling, heart uneasy.

Then—

A soft, wet sound.

A single drop slid from the golden fracture down the mirror’s surface and landed on the stone below.

Red. Vivid. Alive.

---

Naeria came running when she heard the alarm. Rowan followed close behind, already armored, his sword drawn. Kael emerged from the tent shirtless, Theron in his arms, Elira sleepily rubbing her eyes.

Selene pointed in silence.

Naeria approached, knelt by the bloodstain, and touched it with a gloved finger. She gasped.

“It’s not ordinary blood,” she whispered. “It’s Divine.”

Rowan went still.

Kael stepped forward. “What does that mean?”

Naeria swallowed. “It means... a god is waking.”

The second drop came at dusk.

  • MOONBOUND DESIRE    CHILDREN OF RIFT

    The night bled silver.It wasn’t the ordinary glow of a full moon or the soft gleam of stars above the trees. No—this light moved like breath, rippling in the air, painting everything it touched with a luminous sheen. The forest was hushed, every leaf frozen in suspense.Elira stood at the threshold between the known and the unknown.At the edge of the Veil.And beyond it… a tear in the very fabric of reality.It shimmered faintly like heat mirage, vertical and silent, humming a song no ear could hear. The Rift had opened again.And this time—it was calling to her.---Theron appeared at her side, as if summoned by the same pull. His eyes glowed faintly under the moonlight, shadow magic stirring restlessly under his skin.“You heard it?” he asked.Elira nodded without looking at him. “More than that. I felt it.”There was no scent.No emotion.Just resonance—like a tuning fork humming in their bones.Like recognition.---They stood in silence for a moment, the Rift reflecting in thei

  • MOONBOUND DESIRE    BLOOD OF THE STARBORN

    The stars that night burned colder than usual—sharp and clear, like shards of forgotten prophecy.Selene stood barefoot in the center of the sacred ring Naeria had carved into the earth, her dark cloak trailing behind her like shadow-stained wings. Crushed moonroot, glimmering silver dust, and old runes outlined the circle around her feet. Above, constellations blinked steadily in an ink-dark sky, hanging low—closer than they had any right to be.She inhaled deeply, eyes closed.The air tasted different tonight.It tasted like memory.Like fate.---Kael stood just outside the ring, his arms crossed over his chest. His gold-ringed eyes followed every movement with quiet intensity.“You’re sure about this?” he asked.Selene nodded. “It’s time I know the truth.”“You already know who you are.”She opened her eyes and met his gaze.“No. I know what they told me I was. That’s different.”---Naeria stood opposite Kael, her fingers glowing faintly with spelllight. Her tone was softer than

  • MOONBOUND DESIRE    THE HOLLOW KIN

    It began with silence.No birdsong. No wind. Not even the usual rustle of leaves that whispered beneath the canopy.Selene noticed it first as she walked the perimeter alone, her senses sharp from unease. The silence wasn't calm—it was the silence before something wrong.Then the smell hit her.Or rather, the lack of one.No scent.No heat.Just the cold void of presence, like something unmade had stepped into their world.She shifted instantly into her wolf form and sprinted back to camp.---Kael met her at the edge of the glade.“You felt it?” he asked.She nodded. “Something crossed the Veil. It’s not rogue. It’s not kin.”Theron emerged from the trees, eyes wide, his voice low. “They’re... empty.”Everyone turned to him.“What do you mean?” Rowan asked.Theron shook his head. “I don’t know how else to describe it. I felt them, but not in the way we feel pack. There’s nothing inside them. But they wear our shape.”Elira stepped beside him, her expression tight. “What are they?”Na

  • MOONBOUND DESIRE    ASHES OF THE ANCIENT

    The earth was still warm where the Thornmother had fallen.Rowan knelt among the blackened soil, sifting through the ashes with calloused fingers. Beneath the surface, something pulsed—soft, rhythmic, and wrong.Kael stood a few paces away, arms crossed, firelight flickering against his bronze skin. “What are we looking for, exactly?”Rowan didn’t look up. “A ghost.”Kael’s eyes narrowed. “You think she left a piece of herself?”Rowan nodded once. “Something older than her. Something she was feeding.”---The twins approached in silence.Theron stopped short, shadows trailing behind his boots like mist. “There’s something under the dirt.”“I feel it too,” Elira whispered, kneeling beside Rowan. Her fingers glowed as she touched the ground, and the ash responded—lifting in threads, like smoke reversing its fall.Together, they cleared a circular space about two feet wide.And there it was.A stone seal—etched with runes no one recognized. Interlocking spirals. A double crescent. An eye

  • MOONBOUND DESIRE    THE THORNMOTHER'S RETURN

    The first sign was the roses. They grew overnight—along the forest’s edge—where no roses had bloomed in generations. Black petals. Silver thorns. The air around them shimmered with magic that tasted like blood and broken promises. Selene stood at the treeline, staring. Her wolf stirred uneasily beneath her skin. Elira stepped beside her, lips pressed into a thin line. “They weren’t here yesterday.” Theron crouched low, brushing a finger along a stem. It drew blood instantly. The drop hissed when it hit the earth. Kael’s voice came low and cold. “She’s back.” Selene didn’t need to ask who. She already knew. > The Thornmother had returned. --- Once, she’d been called Liraith. Half-faerie. Half-curse. A creature born of moonlight and vengeance. She had been Selene’s rival. A lover of the same king. A wielder of a twisted kind of beauty—magic that ensnared, enchanted, devoured. And long ago, Selene had cast her into the Witherdeep. Bound her in bramble c

  • MOONBOUND DESIRE    THE VOICE UNDER THE STONE

    The voice began as a vibration in Theron’s bones.It wasn’t sound, not really—more like a pulse from the earth itself. A rhythm that matched his heartbeat. A whisper beneath the wind.> Come.It called to him in the quiet moments—just before dawn, just before sleep. And always, it led his eyes south. Toward the crags beneath the Blackbone Ridge.The others didn’t hear it.But Elira saw it in his eyes.And when he packed a satchel of lightstones and knives without speaking, she was already behind him.“You’re not going without me,” she said.---The caverns beneath Blackbone Ridge weren’t on any map.Not even in Naeria’s ancient scrolls.They were known only in half-lost warnings and the kind of stories that made wolves bare their throats in fear.> “Where the Stone breathes, time forgets.”The entrance opened between two broken roots, almost like a wound in the mountain.Dark.Cold.Alive.---Elira’s starlight led the way.Theron moved in silence, eyes flicking between runes carved i
