“I hope this works,” I whispered.

Elaria watched the red glow from the sizzling test tube. The stench of burnt metal filled the stuffy air at the peak of Lorkgard Tower.

I held my breath as Elaria added liquid Cythium extract—mixed with some strengthening potion I couldn't name because she’d used such a long-winded term for it—into Lulu’s blood sample. She flicked a tiny spark of fire into the tube.

The liquid should have settled down. Instead, it did the opposite. The blood surged, sl

    LuluElaria stepped closer, ignoring the fire threatening to burn her from my hand. Her eyes shone with a sickening look of worship. I could still feel the leftover heat from my fire energy burning beneath my skin.QCaspian stood beside me, his trembling hand still gripping mine, giving me strength when he barely had any left himself.“You want to know what Ignith really is?” Elaria gave a small laugh, cold and sharp.I tightened my grip on her cloak. “Tell me the truth. What did my mum do to me?”Elaria stopped right in front of my face. Her breath smelled of chemical potions and old dust.“Mary Ann saw me fail over and over again at Lorkgard Tower. Seventeen times we tried to fuse your blood with Cythium extract, and seventeen times the result was nothing but cold black ash. Your hybrid blood rejected all forms of human alchemy.”She turned, looking at the pile of monster ash I had just destroyed. “She learned from Sapphire Bloodworth.”Elaria spoke of the water sorcerer my mum had

  • Revenge of Flame Luna   24

    Mary AnnThe wooden floorboards beneath my feet shuddered with the thump of music and the heavy footsteps of werewolves partying upstairs.“Where are we going?” I asked, glancing down the corridor as it faded into shadow.“You’ll see.”Sapphire didn’t look back once. She walked with her back straight, passing stacks of empty wooden crates that reeked of damp wood and old, dried-up beer spills.I pulled my fur cloak tighter around me, trying to chase away the cold that still clung to my bones after three days trekking through frozen pine forests.Elaria’s frustrated face at the top of Lorkgard Tower was still burned into my mind. Seventeen times we tried to fuse the Cythium extract with Lulu’s blood. Seventeen times, all we got was a lump of cold, black ash.We used science. We used alchemy. And we failed completely because we treated hybrid blood like it was just another chemical variable.Sapphire stopped in front of a massive rack of liquor bottles, their labels peeling with age.Wi

She flicked a tiny spark of fire into the tube.The liquid should have settled down. Instead, it did the opposite. The blood surged, slamming against the glass with an unnatural force before dimming and turning into a cold clump of black ash."Failed," Elaria muttered. Her voice was flat, but I could see her fingers trembling as she put down the pipette.This was the seventeenth failure in a single night. The Ignith’s Experiment, which we’d hoped would turn Lulu’s blood into a weapon against the Dark Sorcerers, had hit a brick wall.Every time we tried to fuse the Cythium with the hybrid blood of my fire magic, the result was t

  • Revenge of Flame Luna   The Top of Lorkgard Tower

    Elaria“You’re amazing, Elaria. You’re a professor here now.”Mary Ann looked around my study at the very top of Lorkgard’s highest tower. Blue light shimmered in her eyes, reflected from the glass tubes lining the silver shelves.My gaze stayed on the baby lying on the experiment table. Little Lulu slept peacefully, unaware that disaster was waiting in her veins—one that would steal her life twenty-four years from now.“I just focused on magic and research. This is where it got me,” I said flatly.“So… where do I even start?” she asked. “You know the last time I mixed Ligi root with Bhykar flower extract, I ended up with one eyebrow completely gone.”“Take a blood sample from your child.” I handed her a glass slide. “We don’t have much time, Mary Ann.”Her dull red hair stood out sharply against the sterile glow of the lab. She held a small vial filled with Lulu’s freshly drawn blood, looking far too excited for what we were about to do.I didn’t respond. My hands were busy calibrati

  • Revenge of Flame Luna   The Great Alchemist

    ElariaTime is the most ruthless spell of all. Since that day in the Emerald Earth pack, I locked away every memory of Mary Ann.I chose a quiet path, dedicating my life entirely to Lorkgard—the highest magical academy, the last stronghold of our magic’s purity. Here, I was no longer the weepy Elaria.Here, I was Professor Vaelwyn, Head of the Composite Alchemy Department.This morning, the laboratory hall reeked of lead and mercury—sharp, biting scents. Far better than the smell of damp soil and wolf fur that had nearly choked me to death back then.“The crystallisation reaction won’t happen if your cauldron temperature is still below three hundred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit,” I said flatly, pacing between the rows of worktables. My shoes echoed against the cold stone floor.“But, Professor,” a male student in the front row raised his hand, his face twisted with that irritating doubt. “The textbook The Great Alchemist states that high temperatures damage liquid molecular structures

  • Revenge of Flame Luna   Her Marriage

    ElariaMy fingers trembled as I ran the comb through Mary Ann’s red hair. It was still the same as twenty years ago—bright red, coarse, and crackling with energy, like it could burn my skin at any moment.But today, that red no longer meant rebellion on the academy rooftops.Today, it was framed by a white lace veil that looked far too fragile for a fire sorceress like her.“You’re pulling too hard, El,” Mary Ann murmured through the mirror.I loosened my grip on the comb. We were in a damp changing room inside one of the Beta werewolves’ pavilions, deep in Emerald Earth Pack territory.The air here felt nothing like the clean halls of the McCarthy estate. It was thick with the smell of wet soil, animal fur, and an overwhelming, suffocating masculinity; the unmistakable scent of werewolves.“I just want to make sure your bun doesn’t fall apart when you… turn into one of them,” I said flatly.Mary Ann laughed softly. That laugh used to make me feel safe. Now, it sounded like the death

  • Revenge of Flame Luna   Unexpected Invitation

    Lulu“Good morning, Miss McCarthy.”Dalila entered my room looking neat and tidy, though she wasn’t in her usual uniform. I rubbed my eyes, letting out a huge yawn as she pulled the curtains open. Morning light slapped across my face, far too bright for this hour.“Morning, Dalila. What time is it?

Everything that happened earlier—and Niobe’s words—kept swirling in my head like some stubborn spell that refused to fade. Ever since Alpha Caspian walked into my second life, mysteries kept showing up uninv

    LuluThis time I went with khaki trousers, a long-sleeved blue top, white trainers, and a baseball cap low enough to hide part of my face. The sky was bright—far too bright—its sunlight warming my skin even through the fabric.The air in Sapphire Water carried a faint tang of salt mixed with the sw

    LuluThere was no moonlight slipping through my window tonight. Only the soft patter of rain, falling steadily as if trying to soothe the tightness that had been sitting in my chest for hours. For some reason, I wanted nothing more than to sit by the window and watch the droplets slide down the gla
