LOGIN“Get away from her!” The voice behind us hit like a bullet. We both froze. I turned slowly, and there he was—Castillo “What did you do?” he growled. “I bonded,” I said calmly. “With him?” he roared, stepping closer. “You think he’s worthy of what runs through your blood? Of you?” Aether stepped in front of me. “She chose me,” he said firmly. “You lost her the moment you turned your back, the moment you abandoned her due to greed and uncertainty.” I was supposed to be Luna by mate bond but Alpha Castillo broke me with a harsh rejection. To him I wasn’t worthy to be his Luna, but now after discovering that I’m not just Maybel the pack apprentice healer, but the last Vessel of the moon goddess he wouldn’t let me be with Alpha Aether; my new mated bond. Struggling with Alpha Aether’s hunting past, battling with Castillo’s new Luna who wouldn’t rest until she steals my power, and upholding my new identity as the goddess vessel, with mysteries to uncover. I’m wondering how I would cope with these burdens bestowed on me. Find out how May navigates through Fate and destiny, and how she copes with two Alpha fighting for her love.
View MoreElira didn’t wake up for a long time. I sat on the edge of the bed, her head resting on my lap, her skin cold like she had been left under winter rain. I kept brushing her hair back, whispering, “Stay with me… please stay with me…” even though my own throat was burning from crying. My body still hurt from the fight the previous day, but seeing her whole and hearty was all that mattered right nowThen her eyelids trembled.“Elira?” I whispered sharply, leaning over her.Her eyes cracked open; weak, watery, and unfocused, but she managed a tiny smile.“Maybel…” Her voice sounded like it was scraping against broken glass. “Hold… my hand.”I didn’t hesitate. I grabbed her hand quickly, squeezing it and trying to pour strength into her. But the moment our palms touched, something shot through me.A burning spark, like a bolt of raw lightning. A force that slammed into my chest so hard I gasped and struggled for breath.“Elira… what are you doing?!” I cried, but her fingers only tightened
As the first rays of sunrise broke through the sky, soft gold colors spilled over the walls of the Northwoods. Aria hasn’t slept a bit all night— her face looked pale, her lips were dry, but her eyes sparkled with a faint hint of magic. She’d spent the entire time crafting protection charms for all of us. The air around her still buzzed with leftover energy as she pressed a bunch of bracelets into Aether’s palm.“It’ll keep their darkness and evil magic away from you all if you wear this charm while you fight,” she whispered. “Their spells, their claws— nothing will get through this, that’s the most help I can offer for now.”Aether nodded. “Thank you Aria,” he hummed and passed it to his head warrior, who began handing them out to all the warriors who would join us down to the Nightbounds territory. One by one, the warriors secured the leather bands around their wrists. A faint blue light flickered once, sealing the protection spell. For the first time in three days, I felt a glimm
They rushed me inside like I was something fragile. Aether’s arms were under my shoulders, his face a mix of rage and relief. He carried me to his chambers, as if the whole world had shrunk down to just the two of us. When he finally set me on the soft chairs, he didn’t let go; his hands stayed on my back, his breathing trying to calm mine.“Just wind down,” he said softly. “Go wash the blood off and rest, we’ll figure out a way to bring Elira back tomorrow. For now, just sleep.” His fingers rubbed gentle circles on my shoulder, steady and soothing. I wanted to scream that I couldn’t rest, I shouldn’t because Elira needed me, but my body was really weak, and exhaustion took over.He waited patiently until I finally agreed. I took a hot shower, which should be refreshing but instead I hissed and squeezed when the wounds stung. Still, the steam and warmth helped ease the anger burning inside me. Aether was waiting when I stepped out, a towel around his waist and that intense, almost d
MAYBEL’S POVMy chest heaved as the witches’ chants echoed through the dark chamber. As they held enchantress Mara, binding her with magic and dragging her away. The dark triangular formation around us pulsed like a living creature, rings of black smoke tightening every second, ready to crush Elira and me alive.Then the small container Mara stylishly threw at me rolled to my feet. The faint glow of the blood shimmered inside. Aether… My heart clenched. I know I have made you uneasy, thank you once again. I murmured like he was here seeing me. I believed he was.Elira’s voice was weak. “That’s the blood… from your predecessor, the first vessel.”I nodded. “Our last hope.”We managed to kneel together, despite the pull of the formation, our hands shaking. I uncorked the bottle and poured the blood over my divine sword. The liquid spread across the blade, glowing bright crimson and silver at once. I heard my sword make a sound, I know I did, and then the sword began to vibrate like it w
The morning came way too fast. I hadn’t slept a bit, not with Maybel lying there so still… her heartbeat was so faint that I had to press my ear to her chest just to convince myself it was still beating. That she was still alive. I had promised her and promised myself that I would bring her back.
Even though I stayed calm while trying to convince Maybel’s dad, my patience was running out. Seer Aria had told me repeatedly, to think things through and not always resort to violence. But at this moment, I don't mind if we have to fight or even kill for him to oblige. Hesitantly he agreed and s
The candlelight flickered gently in my quiet room, casting playful shadows on the walls. My muscles were sore, and I still felt pain from the constant battles and the strike I got from Nyra's father’s assassins. But somehow, I felt good—the kind that comes from fighting for what I cherish most. I s
CASTILLO’s POV*The cold wind whipping outside my chamber did nothing to cool the fire raging inside me. I stared into the dark sky, my fists clenched tight at my sides. Every word Maybel had said earlier echoed in my mind. “Ceryn was behind it all.”I should’ve seen it coming. I did see it, but
