Mag-log inSelene 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
That night, after the hall emptied and the music faded, they found themselves alone on the balcony overlooking the forest, both bathed in the glory of the moonlight.“You were magnificent today,” Damien said quietly.Aria laughed softly. “I just stood there.”“You changed how they see the world,” he replied. “That’s not ‘just standing.’”She turned to him, serious now. “I feel… different. Like I can hear things I shouldn’t and feel things deeper.”He nodded. “Power always comes with weight.”Her gaze lingered on his lips, then lifted back to his eyes. “And the bond?” she asked.His breath hitched. “It’s much stronger.”“So is my fear.”He stepped closer. “Of what?”“Of losing myself,” she admitted. “Of becoming something I don’t recognize.”Damien reached out, then stopped. He didn’t want to just come at her like that. Instead, he wanted to give her the freedom, giving her the choice.“You don’t lose yourself,” he said softly. “You become more you. And I swear to you, Aria, I will not
