Deep beneath the pack house, under Nyssa's chamber, the flickering torchlight burned brighter in the trap room. As always, the unknown woman remained at the corner of the room while Nyssa stood far at the other end, closer to the entrance from where she came.

She could see the woman clearly today, better than in the other days. Deep inside her, she felt the woman was getting fond of her.

Maybe if she continued this way, the woman would be able to open up and tell her who she is.

‘Clearly, she isn't a mad woman,’ Nyssa thought.

Dressed in rags for years, Nyssa decided to bring with her a change of clothes for the woman.

She pushed the bag to the center of the room,

“You should change into this.” She said, her voice low yet heard, “Those clothes are torn now.”

The woman neither responded nor moved.

“You don't want a change of clothes?” She asked the woman.

No response.

“Okay. Can you at least tell me who you are now?” She tried again.

The woman replied this time. One word. Sam

  • Marked by Moon Fire   His mate comes first

    The wind blew heavier, adding weight to the fear in Fabian's heart. He turned to the boys, who still could not understand what was going on. He ordered, pointing towards the right.“There is a lake down there, behind the trees.” As he spoke in haste, his voice trembled, “I have connected to it. Cut it. Cut the rope immediately, and she’ll fall into the the lake.” He didn’t wait for their response. His feet slid across the dirt as he moved away, each step faster than the last. He tried to keep it casual, but his body betrayed him—Fabian was running. Running from what he felt closing in.Only Nyssa noticed.Her voice lashed at his back. “Fabian! Where are you going? Come back. Face him!”But Fabian refused to turn back. All he kept saying was, “Cut the rope. Now. Do it now.” The boys exchanged uneasy glances, still blind to the urgency. They couldn’t feel the weight in the air, couldn’t hear the warning carried on the wind. They had no idea what hunted them. One of the boys pulled

  • Marked by Moon Fire   The scream

    Lucien's heart dropped to his stomach. His wolf pushed to the surface. The air around him thickened until it was almost impossible to breathe. ‘I never sent for her.’ These words repeated in his head as his fingers grew ice-cold. He looked at Lucy and swallowed. Lucy’s concerned gaze locked on him. ‘What was going on?’ she wondered. Concern contoured on her face as she looked at Lucien, who looked like he had seen death itself. However, Alice remained unaware. “It's okay.” Lucien forced the words out, though his voice shook, “I will go and see her now. I thought she might refuse to come.” Alice giggled lightly. “She almost didn't want to.” She recalled how Nyssa kept asking the guard so many questions, “It was only when she heard you wanted to see her outside the pack house did she finally agree.”“Wait—what?” Lucy asked, her head snapped towards Alice. Lucien never goes out of the pack house. Why would someone tell Nyssa he was out there?Realizing she’d said too much, Alice c

  • Marked by Moon Fire   A trap

    Nyssa continued to walk calmly with the guard. But not so calm anymore. Every branch that snapped under her feet felt like a warning. The position has been switched. The guard was no longer in front of her but behind her. She felt on the edge, her throat tightened, but she kept walking. Looking back at intervals to ask, “Is the stream that far?” “Yes, my lady.” This is the response the guard kept giving her. And she was beginning to sense that this wasn't Lucien's doing. Something is not right. The more she thought of it, the more her heart palpitated in her chest. Her eyes searched for what she could use as a weapon. She noticed the path she was taking was familiar. And it dawned on her. This was the path she took the night she was running out of the Moonrage pack before she was killed. Her eyes widened. Her heart in her throat, her legs pleaded to go back. She didn't want to be anywhere near here again. Suddenly—-“Stop.” Nyssa stilled. When she turned, she saw that the g

    “My lady, Alpha Lucien, seeks your presence immediately.” A guard reported. Nyssa's eyes twitched, and her hand that held Alice's hand turned cold. The mention of Lucien caused her heart to race every time, and she knew exactly why. She has been avoiding him for days. She didn't want to see him. She didn't want to talk about what happened that day in his chamber either.“Huh, did he tell you why he wanted to see me?” She asked meekly. “No, my lady.” The guard replied. Nyssa sighed. “You should go,” Alice said to Nyssa, not knowing why Nyssa was hesitant to go to him. The last time he called for her, she didn't know what she was doing anymore. She cannot lose her composure in front of him, let alone because of him. She finally nodded. “Okay.” She forced a smile. A smile that didn't reach her eyes. “Where is he?”“Is he in his chamber?” She asked, heart palpitating. “No. He is outside the pack building, my lady.” The guard replied, and Nyssa exhaled.She was delighted to hear t

  • Marked by Moon Fire   A Shift

    It was the third day since the Moon goddess appeared to Papa Ganda. Third day since the moon goddess ordered him to leave the forest back to the Moonrage pack, and that Nyssa awaited because he shouldn't stay too far away from her. He wanted to be there as soon as possible, but he couldn't. A wild creature erupted from the earth. This caused the enchanted forest to lock him up. His meeting with the moon goddess has caused him some trouble. He wasn't supposed to be able to do that. See the moon goddess. Have an audience with her. Papa Ganda struggled to stand on his feet, but the creature came and knocked him down to the dust again. His weak bones cracked. He has never seen a creature like that before. He has been fighting the creature since the day before. Yet he hasn't been able to find his weak point. The creature's eyes burned like coal, its form shifting between shadow and flesh. His horse disappeared into the forest as soon as it saw the strange creature. Papa Ganda was

  • Marked by Moon Fire   Execution

    “Please!!!” A piercing scream sliced through the air. “I do not want to die!” The woman cried. No one paid her any attention. They continued to tie her hands and legs to the horse. “I'm sorry, I don't want to die. I have three children who need me.” She cried, “Let me go. Your highness.” She swallowed, “Have mercy on me.”Lucien's gaze only remained on Nyssa.He didn't know if he should call her smart or cold for not being shaken by the woman's pitiful scream. “Please! Please!” She kept crying, and Nyssa signalled the warrior to loosen the rope of the woman and let her go. He did as told and hissed, “Now, scramp.” The woman backed away quickly, leaving a disbelieving Gideon and a stunned Lucien. He raised his brows at her. He thought she would prefer to die with her son. But she ran so quickly away from the scene, hiding from the eyes of everyone. He raised his hand, giving them a go-ahead. Gamma Hume and the other two warriors slapped the back of the horses, causing the horses
