ログインChapter 45The One He FearedAnne POVThe First Alpha was afraid of me.The words repeated themselves in my mind.He was afraid of you.I stared at Luna.“Why?”She didn't answer immediately.Instead, she looked toward Aria.“Tell her.”Aria shook her head.“I think she deserves to hear it from you.”Luna smiled sadly.“Then remember.”The Moon Gate flashed.And another memory pulled me in.I was standing in the Moon Palace.But I wasn't twelve.I was younger.Perhaps eight.Charles stood beside me.Aria was across the room.Our mother stood between us.And the First Alpha was kneeling before me.I looked at him with childish curiosity.“Why do you always kneel when you see me?”He smiled.“Because your mother asked me to.”I giggled.“You don't have to.”He lowered his head.“One day, you will understand.”“What will I understand?”“That power isn't always about being the strongest.”He looked at Aria.“Sometimes it is about knowing when not to use it.”My mother suddenly became seri
Chapter 44The Moon GateAnne POV“Welcome home, Moon Queen.”The voice echoed through the darkness.I froze.Charles's hand tightened around mine.Aria stood on my other side, completely still.Then the little girl's voice came again.“I've been waiting for you, sister.”My heart pounded.“Who are you?”A soft laugh answered me.“You know me.”I looked around.There was nothing but darkness.Then a small silver light appeared at the bottom of the staircase.It grew brighter.And slowly, a figure emerged.A little girl.Silver eyes.Dark hair.The crescent mark on her wrist.The same girl I had seen in my memory.I couldn't move.“Aria…”“I see her.”The little girl smiled.“You finally came back.”Charles stepped in front of me.“Stay away from her.”The girl tilted her head.“You still protect her.”Charles's expression hardened.“Who are you?”She looked at him.“You don't remember me either.”Something about her voice made my heart ache.I stepped around Charles.“What's your name
Chapter 43The Two Daughters of the MoonAnne POVThe warriors stepped through the smoke.Black armor.Silver swords.And a symbol I had seen before.A crescent moon surrounded by a circle.The Council.My heart began pounding.Aria stood in front of me.“Stay behind me.”I shook my head.“No.”She turned.“Anne—”“I've spent too long being protected.”I stepped beside her.“This time, I'll stand with you.”Something flickered in her eyes.Pride.Then fear.“You don't understand what they're capable of.”“Then tell me.”Before she could answer, the man wearing the silver crown stepped forward.“Princess Aria.”His voice was calm.Almost respectful.“You have caused enough trouble.”Aria's expression hardened.“You're still alive.”“Unfortunately for you.”His eyes moved toward me.Then widened.“The second daughter.”The entire group behind him lowered their weapons.One of them whispered,“The Moon Queen's blood…”The crowned man smiled.“So the stories were true.”Charles moved in f
Chapter 42The Daughter of the First AlphaAnne POVI couldn't breathe.The words were still hanging between us.The First Alpha's daughter.Charles stared at me as if he was waiting for me to explain something I didn't understand myself.“What do you mean?” he finally asked.I shook my head.“I don't know.”“But you saw her?”“Yes.”“Where?”“In my memory.”I closed my eyes.The image returned.A little girl.Maybe six or seven years old.Silver eyes.Dark hair.She stood beside the First Alpha, holding his hand.But there was something strange about her.She wasn't afraid of him.She wasn't afraid of the palace.She wasn't afraid of me.She was smiling.And somehow…I knew her.“She was at the Moon Palace,” I whispered.The Moon King stepped closer.“That is impossible.”I turned toward him.“Why?”“Because the First Alpha never had a child.”The chamber became silent.I stared at him.“I saw her.”“You may have seen an illusion.”“No.”My voice came out stronger than I expected.“I
Chapter 41The Bond That Could Not Be BrokenAnne POVThe moment our powers joined, the entire chamber changed.Silver light burst from my body.Gold light surrounded Charles.And between us, something brighter than either began to form.A bond.Not the fragile bond I had known in this life.Not the bond that had survived five years of separation.This was older.Deeper.It felt like something that had existed before either of us had been born.The First Alpha stepped backward.For the first time since I had seen him, he looked uncertain.“No.”His voice was barely a whisper.I tightened my grip on Charles's hand.The Moon Seal burned brighter.Charles looked at me.“Are you ready?”I swallowed.“No.”He smiled.“Good.”I frowned.“Good?”“I'd be worried if you were.”Despite everything happening around us, I almost laughed.That was Charles.Even when the world was ending, he could still make me feel like everything would be okay.I looked at him.“Don't let go.”“I won't.”The First
Chapter 40The Memory That Could Destroy UsAnne POVThe chamber shook violently.Dust fell from the ceiling as cracks spread across the ancient walls.I could feel the Moon Seal burning inside me.It wasn't pain.Not exactly.It felt like something was trying to wake up.Something that had been sleeping inside my soul for centuries.Charles held my hand.“Anne.”I looked at him.“What?”“Whatever happens next, don't let go.”I almost smiled.“You've said that before.”His expression softened.“And you remembered.”“Yes.”A loud crack interrupted us.The stone throne split completely.Darkness erupted from beneath it.The First Alpha stood in the middle of the darkness, his silver eyes glowing brighter than before.Stephanie screamed.“What did you do?”The First Alpha didn't even look at her.“I did nothing.”His eyes remained on me.“She remembered.”I stepped forward.“What am I supposed to remember?”He smiled.“The truth about the night you died.”My heart tightened.Charles move
