LOGINDamien did not wake screaming. He woke like a man slipping away.His breathing came in short, uneven pulls, as if each breath cost him more than the last. His skin could not decide what it wanted to feel. One moment it burned under Aria’s touch; the next it turned cold like it had drained the warmth out of him completely.The strength that once filled him, the presence that made warriors lower their heads without question, was now buried under a dark and stubborn spell. The curse was not loud and did not tear him apart in a way anyone could see.It worked quietly and slowly as if it had all the time in the world. Aria never left his side. From the moment he collapsed into her arms, she stayed with him. Day turned into night, and night into another day, but she did not move from where she sat beside him.Her hand rested over his chest most of the time, her silver light flowing steadily into him, pushing back against the darkness that clung to him.At first, she thought it would be enou
Selene did not waste a second after Aria left her room.The door had barely closed when the calm look on her face slowly disappeared. She remained standing in the same spot for a while, but her mind was already moving quickly. There was no fear in her, no panic, just a confirmation and realization that things had gone further than she expected.Aria has changed everything, and she’s not backing down. The way she came to challenge her made it obvious that she wanted a fight.Selene had always known the girl was not ordinary, but she did not expect her to grow this fast or this strong. The blessing from the Moon Goddess had given her more than status. It had given her power that could no longer be ignored or controlled from a distance.And Damien…she has lost her hold on him completely. Something she worked for all her life.Selene’s lips pressed together as she thought about him. She had spent years shaping him, guiding him, making sure he never stepped out of line. Every choice, react
Aria woke up with a sharp breath, her body jerking against the sheets. For a moment, she did not know where she was.The darkness in the room felt thicker than usual. The air was filled with tension, almost like something had been there watching her the whole time.Her heart pounded as she pushed herself up, her fingers gripping the edge of the bed. The memory of the cold touch on her leg came rushing back, sending a shiver through her entire body.“What was that…?” she whispered into the silence.Everywhere fell silent at first, with no answer, but after a soft voice spoke, she remembered that she wasn’t alone.You felt it too, her wolf’s voice echoed softly in her mind, causing a slight stir.Aria closed her eyes briefly, grounding herself. “Yes.”It wasn’t just fear or her own imagination. It was real, and she felt it.It carried the same scent, her wolf continued, low and certain. The same dark magic from Selene.Aria’s jaw tightened as she heard the name ‘Selene.’ Everything poin
Aria closed her eyes at the drawing of Damien’s birth star. It was one of a kind, the revelation that he wasn’t an ordinary child.She had studied a bit of astronomy while she was in the human world. What she couldn’t understand was why everything was being hidden. However, she knew Selene was the one behind the foul play.A regular wolf would have just seen another word in the book and thought it was another book. She could open the real world because of her power. This was how Selene had successfully kept the history of her life and her son in a book and left it in the archive.She probably thought no one would find it or decode it as long as she’s alive. She couldn’t care less about whatever history says when she’s gone after all.On the night of Damien’s birth, it was recorded that the ground trembled hard and the moon was the brightest ever seen. All the priestesses couldn’t keep up with their surging energy and ran out of their temples.They all knelt and bowed to the ground til
To Aria, evil could never stay silent. There is always a loud announcement around it. All her imagination was that it would roar, strike, and make everyone involved bleed so they could all see it and flee.She was wrong this time. Not all evil announces itself. Some stay silent for years and centuries, hurting people silently to the point they don’t even know where the pain is coming from. That is what real evil is.In the mansion, evil had existed for several decades. It had dignity and honor because it was wrapped in a duty that commanded respect. This evil also had a smile on while caring for everyone like family.All these were clear to her that very night. She decided to find some books in the library because she couldn’t sleep for a reason she couldn’t point to. She was extremely restless to the point that she just had to stand up and go out for some fresh air.It was at that point that she realized she had been too far from her first world. She used to keep books and read them
The mansion had never been this quiet in years. It had always been filled with shouts, yells, updates, and awkward tension over several news items and developments.However, this morning’s silence wasn’t that of fear or uneasiness. It wasn’t out of tension or fear; this was soft and peaceful. Aria moved slowly through Damien’s chambers, her fingers lightly brushing the edge of the table as she walked. The curtains were half open, letting in warm morning light that painted everything in gold.Behind her, Damien watched her slow parade. He had been watching for a while now before he finally decided to speak up.“You’re doing it again,” he said lazily. His sleep robe parting from his chest, showing the rock-hard abs peeking behind itAria didn’t turn. “Doing what?”“Pretending you’re not watching me while you hover like a worried nurse.”That made her pause. She turned slowly, lifting her chin. “I am not hovering.”Damien raised a brow. “You’ve adjusted my blanket five times in ten min
