CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-08 22:43:17

The night air was heavy with expectation as we stood on the rooftop of the Gargoyle Hall. Below, Red Hollow lay in uneasy slumber, every lamp flickered, every ward hummed, and every shadow stirred.

Kael tightened his coat around me. I glanced at Aurel, who held the Thornbane ring tentatively, an heir both powerful and vulnerable.

“This is the night,” Kael whispered, voice steady but harsh with tension. “Everything changes.”

I pressed a hand to his chest. “Together.”

Aurel echoed in quiet resolve: “Together.”

Downstairs, the war room was a hive of determined energy. Witches were binding wards, sentinels sharpened steel; vampires checked runic charges under their skin. There was purpose in every motion, gravity in every whisper.

Selene stepped forward, eyes soft but clear. “Tonight, we face Ophius’s core, the remnants hidden beneath the old council mid-tier, in the body vault.”

I swallowed. Old council vault, a dark place of secrecy, coffins, and betrayals past. Yesteryears lined these

    The city’s moonlight bled through cracks in Kael’s curtains, painting our small bedroom in silvery hues. I lay half‑awake beside him, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest. His hair was damp from sweat and dreams, and his breathing was deep, peaceful, something I hadn’t felt in months.I watched him. My heart clenched: he was everything, the wolf, the warrior, my anchor, my home.He stirred, eyelids fluttering. A soft grunt. Then his arm curled around me, pulling me closer.“Mmm,” he murmured.I pressed my cheek into his chest. “Good morning,” I whispered.He cracked an eye. “Already?” His voice was hoarse, warm and lazy.I grinned. “Sun’s up.”He tightened the embrace. “Stay.”I laughed softly. “Always.”We stayed there for ages, I pressed kisses between his shoulder blades, he ruffled my hair, we whispered remembrances of battles survived, atrocities barely fought back. Then his stomach growled and growled until he laughed, it was a full-body rumble in the night.“You’re so

  • MoonLit Sins: The Curse Of Red Hollow   CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

    The embers in the hearth glowed softly, casting dancing orange shadows across the shattered walls of Kael’s apartment. Outside, Red Hollow slept uneasily, but inside, for once, time slowed. Kael and I sat close on the tattered rug, backs against the sofa. His knees pressed against mine, and warmth bled into my fingertips through our intertwined hands.I took a slow breath. “I feel… tired.”Kael’s hand lifted to my face, thumb brushing over a scar. “I know.” His voice was low, husky with something unspoken. “Let me carry you tonight.”I swallowed. His presence felt like both shelter and wildfire.Kael pushed to his feet, offering a hand. “Dance with me.”I paused, no music, no rhythm, but the invitation was all I needed. He pulled me up gently, and we swayed, awkward and sweet. I laughed at the unexpected intimacy.He whispered, “You have two left feet?”I shrugged. “I prefer to say… uniquely possessed.”He chuckled and spun me around, laughter blossoming between us like defiant blooms

  • MoonLit Sins: The Curse Of Red Hollow   CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

    Moonlight poured through the shattered dome of the old Cathedral Rotunda, pooling across its worn marble tiles, cold, silent witnesses to what was coming. We stood at the center, Lyra, Kael, and Aurel, the latter perched on our intertwined hands like a fragile promise.The air buzzed with watchful tension. Sentinels lined the edges, witches whispered ward prayers, vampires leaned against broken columns, eyes gleaming with spell-lit anticipation. Magical lanterns glowed with hues of deep blue and silver, symbols of hope, defiance…and perhaps prophecy.Tonight, everything changed.From the shadows stepped Astra, once Shade’s heir. She carried an ancient tome, her face pale in the lantern glow.“As we sealed the heir’s power,” she began quietly, “I discovered something darker, a hidden prophecy, the ‘Veil of Sins.’ A reckoning meant to tear down every bond we’ve built.”Murmurs rippled across the gathering.My heart thudded, old wounds, unspoken fears, magics buried even from us.Astra o

    Moonlight pooled across the streets below as we stepped onto the rooftop terrace of Gargoyle Hall, the night buzzing with tension. In the hour since dawn, the city had exhaled again, but in its lungs, danger still lingered.Kael’s hand found mine, warm and steady. Aurel stood between us, dwarfed by his heir’s ring yet unmistakably regal, eyes scribbling secrets in the starlight.Together we looked out at the city where shadows deepened in corners and dangers flickered behind every lamp.“This is the line,” Kael said, voice low. “We either hold it tonight… or everything falls apart.”I inhaled sharply. “Then let them come.”Aurel looked up, sensitive. “I’m scared.”Kael knelt to his level. “Bravery isn’t not being scared, it’s standing when you are. And we stand with you.”Inside, the war room glowed under runic lanterns. Our allies, witches, sentinels, vampires, lined the table, faces hard with purpose.Selene stood at its head, voice sharp: “Ophius has fractured into warbands; tonigh

  • MoonLit Sins: The Curse Of Red Hollow   CHPATER TWENTY-FIVE

    I stood on the rooftop terrace of Gargoyle Hall, wind swirling around Kael and me. Our breath fogged in the crisp air as we stared out across Red Hollow, lights dancing in the mist like promises we weren’t sure we’d keep.Beside me, Aurel, stood solemn, the heir of the city, clutching the signet ring now glowing dimly from the day’s awakening. He was a child, but the city’s weight was etched in his wide eyes.“Tomorrow changes everything,” Kael whispered.“Then let’s make sure we’re standing when it does.”I looked at them both, my wolf, my charge, my heart. We trembled, but we did not break.An hour later, in the war room, maps and intel sat smeared with red ink and hastily scribbled wards.Selene paced. “Sentinel scouts report unusual movement at the old east gate, Ophius remnants likely coordinating with rogue elementalists.”Edgar swooped in with a swirl. “I recommend midnight pastries during a battle. Comfort is morale.”Kael rolled his eyes. “We’ll consider your provisions reque
