Eve’s POV

Morning came and I had been called for the final judgment of my arraignment, I wasn’t worried, I couldn't tell what I felt, even as I stood before them yet again.

She's cleared. The words echoed inside my head even after the judgment. I felt empty inside, this wasn't what victory or vindication was supposed to feel like.

I watched as the council chamber buzzed with the same type of whispers I had heard a thousand times already.

“….No proof…case dismissed.”

Those were the only things I heard but then of course, as always.

I didn't hear whatever the wolves spoke about, but I knew they spoke, one thing about them was that they never needed volume. Their words would hurt you regardless.

I stood there, stiff, trying not to shake, holding myself together in other not to break. This vindication felt like I was tied to another chain, another injury, it was a reminder that in this place, I was always going to be guilty ofsomething.

“You may leave.” an elder finally said as though

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 110

    Eve’s POV Malik calmed a little after a while although the bags under his eyes now looked heavier, Dorian now stood a few feets away, not sure why but my anxiety became something I could almost touch.None of us spoke, it didn't feel like silence, rather it felt like a delicate stitching of everything we didn’t know how to say. Finally, Dorian moved away from the spot he had been on, his steps quickened towards us. “At this point, it fees like we are basing everything based off words, or old tales.” He said in a low voice. “We can’t keep guessing, all these aren’t enough to proof anyone’s guilt. I exhaled heavily. “But everything leads back to her, how do we explain that?” “Leads back,” Dorian repeated, “it doesn’t prove anything.” A very valid distinction though. He was right, no matter how obvious and clear the signs were, they were still just signs, nothing but mere assumptions. My heart thudded against my ribs as I said the disappointing realization out loud. “There were no

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 109

    Eve’s POVMalik sat on the edge of the pavement we usually sat on, his shoulders slumped, his fingers hitting on each other in frustration. The wind tugged at his hair but he didn’t even notice, he was staring deep into distance, his eyes dark and hollow. I had seen angry, fierce and unyielding in battle, but this? This looked different, it was grief mixed with guilt and it hurt to watch“Malik,” I said, walking towards him. He didn’t turn at first, he just kept staring at nothing like he was trying to burn out the images in his head. “Hey, look at me.” He turned, his eyes sad and dark. “Eve,” his voice came out hoarse, I felt my heart twist. “I should have seen it sooner, I should have known but I failed.”I took a seat beside him, letting my hand brush against his. “ you wouldn’t have known, you didnt fail.” He shook his head. “I should have sensed the evil she carried sooner. All this time Eve, all this time, Morwenna had been behind it all, I was so blind, I couldn’t save us fr

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 108

    Eve’s POVI glanced at Malik, walking beside me, his posture tense, jaw tight. He hadn’t said much since we left her house. The forest felt quiet as we made our way back from Morwenna’s dwelling. My wolf was restless, pressing close beneath my skin, sensing the unease that hung around Morwenna, the way I felt around her isn’t something that only randomly started now for a while now I’ve had this uneasy feeling, my every instinct screamed that something was off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.Meanwhile, Dorian still carried his detached demeanor. He walked ahead of was his eyes scanning the forest. Meanwhile, I had noticed that for a while now, Dorian had given me and Malik more space than we ever could have asked for, it was like he was actively trying to meet up to a certain vow or promise , i was sure he made himself. It was relieving yet. It was crazy to imagine how you could be strangers to someone who once meant the whole world to you, not like I regretted any of these, bu

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 107

    Eve’s POVThe forest seemed sadly the same as we made our way back from Malik’s mother’s house. Dorian met us somewhere along the way, obviously anticipating some good news. But we had none, we didn’t need to speak, looking at each other’s faces was enough, as for him, I had learned to trust his instincts, but right now, his presence felt like an echo of the storm we had just faced, he was carrying the weight of a leader and protector, “We need answers,” Malik muttered suddenly, breaking the silence. His voice was low. “Everything keeps pointing back to someone, and we keep running in circles. We can’t keep guessing, Eve. Morwenna sees things whenever she wants, let’s go talk to her, see what is revealed to her about this situation.”I nodded slowly, my hands clenching together. “You’re right,” I whispered. “She might know something…anything that can help us stop this curse before it destroys everything.”I looked over to Dorian but he just shrugged in agreement, I didn’t want to li

    Eve’s POVNext on our list was a trip to see Malik’s mother because Malik felt she might know something. The journey here was scary, how does one even begin to explain to her. Malik’s hands held mine and squeezed lightly like he could read my thoughts. “We are okay.” He whispered softly. “Are you sure this is…right?” I asked quietly, “It’s the only lead we have.” He said. “I fee strongly that she would know something that may change the whole thing for us.” The house appeared ahead of us, as we got to the door. Malik knocked once and then again, the door opened to beautiful, her back though stiff and her stance rigid like she didn’t want us there, I knew this was such a bad idea. The air immediately became heavy with tension, I could feel every heartbeat in my chest sync with what I imagined to be the sound of pulse of tension in the house. Her voice cut through my thought like a blade. “What are you doing?”Malik stepped forward. “Hello to you too, mother.” He said pulling my ha

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 105

    Eve’s POVMalik glanced back at me,“You feeling ready for this?” he asked.I swallowed, letting my wolf stretch beneath my skin, feeling its power hum in response to the energy in the forest. “I think I am,” I said slowly, my fingers brushing against the markings on my arm. “Eve…” Malik’s voice pulled me from whatever trance i was entering. “Something is near, stay close.” I tensed. The wolf in my flaring at the warning, my claws itched to strike, my teeth needed to defend, yet I forced myself to stay calm. Every heartbeat and pulse reminded me that I was way more than the Eve I was used to. The scent we were following grew stronger, it wasn’t magic, it was fear, not ours though but we could sense that as well, it was fear from a different place, tangled with layers of manipulation. I thought to myself, what if all the times I felt we were being watched by the forest, it wasn’t actually the forest but we were being watched or followed“Here,” Malik whispered pausing by a tree. I kn
