The power I never asked for

When the mountain cracked open and that creature emerged from the ground… everything I thought I understood about myself fell apart.

I was shocked because it didn’t attack, instead it bowed to me.

This creature was massive—almost as tall as the trees, with strong bones like armor and eyes that shone like moons. But its voice? It wasn’t loud or growling. It was calm. Deep. Like it had been waiting for this day for ages.

“The Vessel has been found. Command me.” It said

I could barely hold myself

  • Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.   She’s Gone

    Elira 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

  • Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.   Rescued Dead

    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

  • Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.   I won’t make it, Maybel

    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

  • Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.   My Elira

    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

  • Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.   Blood of inestimable Value

    My brother Laziel was barely hanging on, my Luna was trapped somewhere I couldn’t reach, and my wolf was restless, clawing at my chest like it wanted to burst out and run. “Please, do something,” I urged Aria persistently, my tone sharper than I intended. I was beyond restless.Aria closed her tired eyes and took a deep breath. “You need to be quiet, Aether. What I’m about to call for… it’ll shake the ground.”She spread a dark cloth on the floor of her chamber and drew strange symbols with white chalk. They glowed faintly as she whispered in a language I didn’t understand. She lit three black candles, added herbs to a clay bowl, and sprinkled silver powder around the edges. Her voice grew louder, and the chant almost sucked the air out of the room.Then, the flames bent backward. A shadow crept from the corner of the chamber and took shape—a tall woman with silver eyes glowing like moonlight. Her presence weighed heavily on my chest, like a mountain pressing down.Aria dropped to h

  • Rejected by my Alpha, the Moon goddess chose me.   Dark Formation

    Staring at us furiously, they started an incantation. Immediately, the magic hit us and held us together like a cage.One moment, Elira and I glided through the halls like shadows; the next, our feet felt glued to the ground. Cold triangle-shaped light wrapped around us—definitely not the kind of chains you could slice through with a sword. This was ancient witchcraft— words, circles, and slow, deliberate hands that closed around your throat. My sword felt utterly useless. My legs were heavy, as if they belonged to someone else.“Elira,” I whispered, a mix of panic and an unsettling panic stirring over me.She was breathing too quickly, her lips pale. “It’s a binding— an old Nightbound formation,” she said, her voice low. “Two senior witches are holding it. We can’t just slash our way out.”We gave it a shot anyway. I swung my sword until my arms ached. Sparks flew when my blade hit the runes, but they didn’t cut through. I managed to hit one witch’s arm— blood splattered, and she st
