Moonlit Secrets Rumors Reignited
The dining hall was louder than usual. Packed shoulder to shoulder, it pulsed with gossip dressed up as laughter, speculation hidden beneath polite smiles. Lanterns burned warm overhead, but the energy in the room was anything but comforting. It felt… watchful.Aria walked in quietly, holding her tray close to her chest. Tea. Bread. A few slices of apple, she wasn’t sure she’d eat. She kept her head down, weaving past tables until she reached her usual seat, back corner, right near the tapestry with the faded crescent moon. Her safe spot.No one looked her way.Good.She sat down slowly, tucked herself in, and exhaled through her nose. Her hands were calm, but her stomach churned. Not from the pregnancy—at least, not this time. She already knew what tonight was about.Sienna was back. And tonight, she was going to be seen.The hall buzzed louder, louder—until the doors opened.First came Xander.He looked the way he always did when he put the weight of the world on his shoulders and d
Moonlit Secrets Ghost in the Den
The healer’s den was steeped in stillness.It always had a calming quiet, a sacred hush that clung to the woven curtains and stone floors like breath held too long. Tonight, though, that calm felt deceptive. The scent of mint and sage still drifted from the apothecary shelves, but to Aria, it all felt sharper somehow. Like the air knew what was coming.She stood near the end of the room, quietly restocking gauze, though her eyes flicked often to the cot near the centre, where Sienna White lay, finally still.Pale beneath the wool blanket. Breathing steadily, at last.Aria’s fingers moved automatically through the vials and linens, but inside, her chest felt tight.She had spent days tending to this woman. Changing dressings. Sponging fever from her skin. Mixing potions to draw the infection out, praying under her breath when Sienna had slipped too far under.And through it all, Aria hadn’t broken.She couldn’t afford to.Not when the name on every tongue was Sienna White. Not when eve
Moonlit Secrets Burnt Bridges
The cliff was quiet tonight.Not the stillness of peace, but the kind that comes before something is let go.Aria stood at the edge, the wind catching at her coat, cool against her skin. The overlook stretched wide before her, the river far below reflecting slivers of moonlight. Pine needles were scattered across the rocks. The sky above was painted in bruised colours, deep purple bleeding into steel grey. The air carried the faint scent of ash from an old fire pit and the wild herbs growing in the cracks of the cliff.In her hands: a bundle tied in a faded blue ribbon.Letters. Dozens of them.She hadn’t opened the bundle in years, but she remembered every word. Every night spent hunched over parchment, whispering confessions to the moon. Letters written from a place of hope, of aching want, of belief that maybe—just maybe—love could bloom in silence.Tonight, she’d come to let that silence burn.Aria lowered herself onto the flat stone at the edge of the overlook, where the ground d
Moonlit Secrets Denied and Defended
The packed council chambers loomed with the quiet weight of history. High-arched ceilings, stained with age and smoke, pressed down over a long stone table carved with generations of decisions and disputes. The sun filtering through the lattice windows made the air feel heavier, like even the light was hesitant to intrude.Aria stood near the back wall, partially hidden behind a tall pillar. She wasn’t meant to be here—just a messenger dropping off council records. But as the discussion unfolded, something in her made her stay. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe it was the ache in her chest she couldn’t ignore anymore.At the head of the table sat Xander.He looked every bit the Alpha—broad shoulders squared, jaw locked, gaze steady. But Aria had learned over time that stone could crack without warning. And today, something in the air warned her it might.Beta Linwood rose first. He was tall, angular, with eyes that always seemed too sharp. “We gather in concern,” he said. “There is unrest
Moonlit Secrets Whispers in the Clinic
The halls of Moonrise Medical always smelled faintly of antiseptic and wild herbs, a strange mix of science and tradition. The floors gleamed under soft lights, and the echo of footsteps never quite faded. For most, this place was sacred—where wounds healed, where life began and sometimes ended. But for Aria, it was becoming something else. A stage. A trap.She moved through the corridors like she always had, clipboard in hand, hair tied back, focus sharp. But something had changed. Not in her routine. In the way people looked at her.It started with glances. Quick, sidelong stares that slipped away the second she turned. Then came the lowered voices. The sudden silences when she walked into a room. The shift in air when her presence broke their rhythm.By week twelve, she couldn’t hide it anymore. Her uniform tugged slightly at the curve of her belly. She’d catch glimpses of herself in reflective surfaces—glass cabinets, dark screens—and her hands would move instinctively to cover th
Moonlit Secrets Walls Between Them
The ground was soft from last night’s rain, still damp beneath the worn soles of Xander’s boots. Mist clung to the edges of the clearing as the sky hovered between dull gray and reluctant sunlight. But none of it mattered. Not the sting in his arms, not the cold air biting his skin—only the rhythm of motion, the need to outrun the noise in his head.He was already drenched in sweat by sunrise.Each punch against the sandbag landed with a sharp, brutal snap. His knuckles were torn open, blood mixing with sweat, but he didn’t stop. Couldn’t. The silence she’d left behind echoed louder than any scream. That look on her face, the quiet finality in her voice as she closed the door—he couldn’t unsee it. Couldn’t unhear it.She had been calm. Not angry. Not begging. Just... done.That was what tore through him.“Alpha,” his beta called gently from a distance. “You’ve been out here since before dawn. Take a breather.”Xander didn’t look at him. “Again.”The beta hesitated. “Sir—”“I said agai
