last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-06-21 20:06:42

My world had flipped upside down after learning the truth.

Of course, I was grateful to be a part of this family.

But a small part of me wanted to know more about my other parents. What happened to them? How did they die? How did I survive the fire?

But no matter how much I wanted to know the truth, I had no way of knowing about it.

I asked my mother in the morning about the place where she found me or where my parents died, but she said it would be best if I stopped running behind the answ

  • Marked by the Moon   60. Do you have a better idea?

    "Celeste, are you okay?"Kai's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked at him, then around us. The ruins were still there, the broken walls and burned foundations standing silently between the trees.We were alone.At least, I couldn't see anyone else. And yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone or something was watching us.It was everywhere. Around us, above us, even behind me. Like a blanket covering the entire place, making it difficult to breathe."Kai..."He looked at me. "What?""Do you feel that?" My voice came out broken.His eyes moved around the ruins before returning to me. "Feel what?"I swallowed and shook my head. "Nothing."He didn't look convinced."I think we should go," he said, tightening his grip on the baseball bat.I looked towards the car, then back at the ruins."No. Not yet." I finally said."Celeste, we just heard someone scream at a place that looks like it burned down decades ago. Your wrist is practically glowing, and the ground is doing thing

  • Marked by the Moon   59 These couldn't be random fires

    Resting my head on the back of the seat, I watched the trees passing by. We left the town four hours ago. Every passing tree was taking us closer to something unexpected. I kept tapping my fingers on the fragile map in my lap. "How are you?"Frowning, I turned my head to look at Kai. He rolled his eyes in response, "I mean, with everything happening.""I have no idea," I replied honestly."I feel like I am getting stuck in a web." And somehow I had dragged you with me into it, I didn't say it out loud because I knew how he would react and defend me. "We'll be fine," he paused and glanced at me before looking back at the road. "You have me....you'll always have me."I gave him a warm smile and started watching the trees once again. They were getting scarce...somehow it was a pattern I had been seeing lately, or maybe I was making theories of my own. I was about to ask Kai about it but he asked me a question instead, "Did you talk to your Mom about this?"I shook my head. It cross

  • Marked by the Moon   58. We might be able to solve this mystery

    My life was already a mess and Kai played a huge part in making the mess bigger by bringing Lucien back.I couldn't track him down in college. Then I went to his house, and it turned out he went somewhere without his car. I was sure he didn't go to the same abandoned building because he parked his car in his home. Which left me with only one option. He stopped at the park on his way home whenever he needed to clear his head.And lately, he had been needing to do that a lot.I spotted him sitting on the bench, his backpack beside him and his head tilted back against the seat.For a moment, I just watched him.Then I walked towards him. "Kai."His eyes opened.He looked at me and immediately sighed.I crossed my arms. "Why the hell are you avoiding me?"He sat up straight. "Me? Avoiding you?""Yes." He scoffed. "Pfft."I stared at him and he looked away, probably thinking about running away from the park."Kai," I gave him a warning."Okay, maybe a little.""A little?" I repeated. He

  • Marked by the Moon   57. I hated how he sounded

    I tried tracking down Kai, but he managed to sneak out of the college. I waited for him until almost all the students walked out of the college, only to realise he was long gone, and wherever he went, this time he took his car. Letting out a sigh, I started walking out of the college as well. I was thinking about Kai until my eyes landed on him. "Lucien," his name escaped my lips. He was leaning casually against his black car parked a little away from the college entrance.My steps slowed, but I decided to keep walking.But his eyes quickly found their way into mine. I hated how easily they still managed to distract me.He pushed himself away from the car and opened the passenger door. "Get in."I stopped a few feet away. "No."His jaw tightened. "Celeste.""I can go home myself." I turned around and started walking again.I heard his footsteps behind me. "You're coming with me," his voice was, as usual, filled with authority."No, I'm not." I kept walking without looking back at

  • Marked by the Moon   56. She was becoming stronger

    I had been avoiding water. Not because I wanted to.But because I had to.Lately, it had become harder to control.A small ripple in a glass could turn into a wave if I wasn't careful enough. The water in the sink sometimes moved on its own whenever I was near it. And the worst part was that it happened more often when other people were around.So I had started avoiding it.It was getting ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as Kai avoiding me, or more specifically, my questions. I still hadn't asked him anything about the building, but I was dying to know what he was doing there. Or what Seraphine had said to him. I glanced at the large clock on the wall, then back at the brown boxes in front of me. I was helping Mom clean one of the old storage cabinets before dinner.Or, more accurately, Mom was cleaning while I stood nearby and tried not to get in her way.She had already made three piles, things to keep, things to donate, and things to throw away.Of course, everything had to be ar

  • Marked by the Moon   55. You don't belong here

    Something had changed. Kai had been acting strange all day.He was quieter. His eyes screamed that he had not slept properly. As someone who would spend nights tossing, turning, and running away from her dreams, I knew the look on his face too well. He wasn't making jokes, wasn't annoying me every five minutes, and worst of all, he kept checking his phone whenever he thought I wasn't looking.Something was definitely wrong. We had not talked about the photograph or the symbol either. We were walking out of the college campus, but Kai hadn't said a word, he was in his world.As though it were not enough, he suddenly stopped walking and turned to face me, "Why don't you go home? I have to go somewhere else."I looked at him without blinking. "You want me to go home?""Yeah.""Without you?" I asked. Ever since everything had started happening, he made sure to keep me company. Hearing these words was not a good sign. "Where do you have to go?" I decided to ask, even though he was not

  • Marked by the Moon   7. Who are you

    There was a sudden shift in our surroundings.The air had gotten more dangerous. We were no longer the only ones standing uninvited on the forest ground.Something was moving behind the trees, something that couldn't be seen, it only showed its presence by the rustling sound of leaves.My eyes final

  • Marked by the Moon   Something worse is coming

    It was 7:45."You are late."I knew it was coming."My classes will start late today," I replied, avoiding eye contact.Mom could read the lies hiding behind the words effortlessly."We all have to follow a routine," Mom folded her arms. It was a warning and I knew better than to argue with her.I

  • Marked by the Moon   The mark

    What was that?The red eyes were still haunting my memory and to make everything worse, the mark on my wrist was burning from the inside like something was trying to crawl from inside my skin. I kept hiding the mark under my fingers, the skin was burning but I kept my focus on the street lights tha

  • Marked by the Moon   The forgotten one

    Cinnamon and control, these were the scents that danced elegantly in every corner of my home.The cold spoon between my fingers mimicked the temperature of the oatmeal in front of me. Stirring the spoon back and forth in the mushy contents of the bowl, I sat up straight to correct my posture as the
