The moon hung high above the treetops, casting a silver glow across the darkened forest. Its light shimmered through the canopy, illuminating Ashara’s unsteady figure as she stumbled away from the camp, her bare feet crunching on fallen leaves and twigs.

She had woken up abruptly, still tipsy, her head spinning but her mind fogged with something more than just the effects of the drink. Disoriented and still half-asleep, she had fumbled with the zipper of her tent, whispering to herself about needing the washroom—but no one had been awake to guide her, and she couldn’t quite recall where it was.

So she walked.

Past the sleeping tents, past the dying embers of the campfire, and straight into the woods.

Branches swayed gently in the breeze. Owls hooted in the distance. The forest was alive in a way most humans would fear at this hour—but not Ashara. Not tonight. She was too lost in her thoughts to even notice how far she was going.

“Mmh… dad’s so stupid sometimes…” she muttered, pushing

  • Shattered Vows, Silent Fire    Your boyfriend!

    Luca could feel her eyes on him. Curious. Searching. As if she was trying to solve a puzzle she didn’t even know existed.Ashara leaned a little closer, her brows furrowed in subtle suspicion, and then—without warning—asked, “Do you wear lenses?”The question hit the air like a shard of ice. Luca didn’t flinch. But he knew immediately why she was asking.The cold.It was always the cold. Prolonged exposure to the snow had triggered the change—the faint, unnatural glow in his irises that shimmered like liquid mercury. It always happened when he let his guard down.And she had noticed.Luca held her gaze with an unreadable expression, then shrugged coolly, “Yeah. I do. Prescription lenses.”His voice was smooth, calm—too calm. But Ashara didn’t look convinced. In fact, her breath hitched as she stepped back just a little, her arms tightening around the quilt.She didn’t say anything, but her eyes betrayed her. There was fear there. A flicker of something primitive. Not because she under

  • Shattered Vows, Silent Fire    The snow and night !

    The snow had begun to fall softly across the vast, silent landscape.Luca lay still on the frozen ground, his body impervious to the cold that would kill any warm-blooded creature. For him, the ice was comforting—numbing. A sharp contrast to the fire that raged eternally within his chest.Above him, the night sky stretched endlessly, but he didn’t see the stars.He saw her.Lyra.Her face came to him with painful clarity. That soft, radiant smile that never needed a reason. The way her eyes—those eyes that danced with light—could silence storms inside him. Her voice was a melody, and her touch had once made his lifeless skin feel warmth he didn’t know he craved.No one ever knew. No one.Not Carlos. Not even Kael.Luca had buried his love for Lyra so deep that not even the darkness that clung to his soul could reach it. It was his secret. His shame. His agony.Because Lyra had never been his.She had belonged to Kael from the start.And Luca… he had only watched. Always from a distanc

  • Shattered Vows, Silent Fire    The secrets

    The soft hum of silence wrapped around Ashara like a cocoon as her lashes fluttered open. Her eyes adjusted slowly to the warm morning light spilling across the wooden ceiling above her. For a moment, she lay there, blinking lazily as her body shifted and twisted over the soft mattress beneath her. The blanket was thick, the bed large, and the room… unfamiliar. But not frightening.A sigh escaped her lips as she stretched her limbs and sat up. Her fingers brushed over the silken sheets as she took in her surroundings—a cozy room with rustic charm, the wooden walls polished to a warm shine, fur rugs laid across the floor, and tall bookshelves flanking the walls. Everything looked elegant yet lived-in. A faint smell of cedarwood lingered in the air.Ashara slid her legs off the bed, her bare feet touching the cold but smooth floor. She wrapped the throw around her shoulders and padded toward the enormous window draped with sheer curtains. As she pulled them aside, her breath hitched—not

  • Shattered Vows, Silent Fire    The party!

    The music pulsed through the open air, lights flashing rhythmically as the party roared in full swing. Laughter, chatter, and the distant clinking of glasses blended into a warm, vibrant hum that filled the night sky. The bonfire crackled in the center of the clearing, throwing golden sparks into the wind, and Ashara stood beneath a canopy of fairy lights, laughing with Amaira and Jade, her smile wide and carefree.Zev leaned against the wooden pillar of the gazebo, a red cup in his hand, his eyes following her every move. There was something magnetic about the way she moved tonight—her happiness wasn’t just a look, it was a feeling that radiated off her, infectious and light, a stark contrast to the pain she’d carried for days. For the first time in a long while, Ashara was breathing freely, her burdens tucked away behind that smile. And Zev couldn’t look away.“Bro,” came Rayan’s voice from beside him, nudging Zev in the ribs. “This is the moment. If you’re gonna do it, do it now. S

  • Shattered Vows, Silent Fire    Family clash

    Ashara’s room was in chaos, clothes scattered across the bed, makeup bags half-zipped, and her passport clutched tightly in her trembling fingers. Her suitcase lay open, nearly full, yet she stood frozen in front of it, staring at the empty space with a hollowness that wasn’t about what to pack, but what she was leaving behind.Her heart felt heavier with each folded shirt, each zipped compartment. She had always dreamt of a trip with her friends—a real trip, not something supervised by Kael’s guards or wrapped in overprotective rules. But not like this. Not with her father refusing to even look at her, not after crying herself to sleep for three nights straight.Zev had come through. He always did. He convinced Kael after what Ashara assumed was a very intense conversation. She wasn’t allowed in the room when it happened. All she knew was that Zev emerged with tired eyes but a soft nod. “He said yes,” he whispered to her.But Kael didn’t speak to her.Not even once.Not when she walk
