THE CURSED MOON HEIR CHAPTER 14: THE DREAM OF SILVER
ROSELYN’S POVThe forest was unusually quiet even after Darius had decided we would leave sooner than planned, he refused to say when. Instead, he spent the rest of the afternoon inspecting every entrance to the refuge, checking traps I hadn’t even noticed before.I watched him from across the chamber as He moved with practiced precision, never wasting a single step.Who was he? That question had become as familiar as my own name. Every answer seemed hidden behind another locked door.“You should eat.” His voice broke my thoughts as he handed me a wooden bowl filled with a simple stew. I accepted it with a quiet nod. The warmth seeped into my cold fingers, but my appetite never came.“You’ve barely eaten since we left the cottage,” Darius said.“I’m not hungry.”“You need your strength.”“My strength couldn’t save Roland.”The words slipped out before I could stop them and Silence settled between us. Darius lowered his eyes, For a long moment, neither of us spoke.Finally, he walked
THE CURSED MOON HEIR CHAPTER 13: THE PRINCE’S INSTINCT
NOAH’S POVThe trail ended without warning. I stood at the edge of a narrow stream, my eyes fixed on the damp earth beneath my boots. A few broken branches pointed north. Faint footprints led toward the water.Then… Nothing, No tracks, No broken leaves, No lingering scent, It was as if the forest itself had swallowed whoever I was following.Gideon dismounted beside me, scanning the surrounding trees.“They crossed here?”“They had to.”He crouched beside the stream, running a hand through the wet soil before shaking his head.“I’ve tracked rogues through blizzards and across rocky cliffs. Even the best hunters leave something behind.”He looked up at me. “This…” He frowned. “…doesn’t make sense.”I remained silent Because he was right, It didn’t. My wolf stirred uneasily. She’s close, The words echoed through my mind. I looked around.“Where?”No answer, Only silence. The same silence that had followed me since Oakridge. I clenched my jaw.“You tell me she’s close, yet you won’t tell
THE CURSED MOON HEIR CHAPTER 12: FOOTSTEPS BEYOND THE STONE
ROSELYN’S POVThe footsteps stopped, Every muscle in my body tightened as silence swallowed the refuge once more. I couldn’t even hear my own breathing. Darius remained motionless, his hand wrapped firmly around the hilt of his sword. His eyes never left the narrow entrance leading outside.He wasn’t guessing, He was listening. Then, without taking his eyes off the entrance, he spoke.“Put out the fire.” His voice was barely a whisper.I stared at him for a heartbeat before hurrying toward the fireplace. Grabbing a nearby bucket, I poured water over the burning logs. A sharp hiss echoed through the chamber, Darkness rushed in.Only a faint stream of morning light filtered through the entrance, leaving the refuge draped in shadows.“Come here,” Darius said quietly.I moved beside him. “What did you hear?”“I don’t know.” That answer unsettled me more than anything else.Darius always seemed certain. But now, for the first time, uncertainty flickered across his face. The silence stretch
THE CURSED MOON HEIR CHAPTER 11: THE HIDDEN REFUGE II
ROSELYN’S POVThe first thing I noticed when I woke was the silence, Not the uneasy silence that followed danger, but a deep, almost unnatural stillness. There were no birds singing outside, no crackling fire from Roland’s hearth, no distant laughter from the villagers, The only sound was the slow drip of water echoing somewhere beyond the stone walls.For a few peaceful seconds, I forgot everything, Then the memories came rushing back. The flames, The Shadow Hunters, Roland’s desperate voice. “Run, Roselyn! Don’t look back!”My eyes flew open, and I bolted upright with a gasp, The blanket slipped from my shoulders as I looked around the unfamiliar room. It wasn’t a room at all, It was a chamber carved into solid rock. The walls were smooth but ancient, etched with faded patterns that had almost disappeared beneath the weight of time.The air smelled of damp stone and burning wood. I was alive, But Roland… A sharp ache spread through my chest. “No…” I whispered. The tears I had fought
THE CURSED MOON HEIR CHAPTER 10: THE HIDDEN REFUGE
ROSELYN’S POVThe strange feeling lingered for only a moment then I stopped walking and glanced back through the endless trees. Darkness stretched as far as I could see, the forest was silent except for the wind rustling the branches overhead. For reasons I couldn’t explain, my heart beat faster, Prince Noah’s face suddenly flashed across my mind. Not because I believed he was coming… But because I couldn’t forget the way he had looked at me. The fear in his golden eyes, the confusion on his face and the words he had whispered. “I’ve been looking for you.” I tightened my grip on the pendant beneath my dress. Who was he looking for? Me… Or someone he thought I was?“Roselyn.” Darius’s calm voice broke through my thoughts “We have to keep moving.” I nodded and hurried after him.The deeper we ventured into Oakridge Forest, the older the trees became. Their trunks were enormous, their roots twisting across the ground like ancient serpents. Thick vines hung from the branches, hiding much
THE CURSED MOON HEIR CHAPTER 9: THE ASHES OF OAKRIDGE
NOAH’S POVThe horses thundered through Oakridge Forest. Moonlight filtered through the towering oaks as the royal escort raced along the winding trail. Hooves pounded against the earth, scattering fallen leaves into the night air. No one spoke, The only sounds were the rushing wind and the steady rhythm of galloping horses. Yet behind Prince me, unease spread through the royal guards.They exchanged uncertain glances but dared not question their prince. Only Gideon finally rode closer.“My Prince.” Noah kept his eyes fixed on the dark forest ahead. “What is it?”Gideon hesitated before answering. “In all the years I’ve served beside you… I’ve never seen you reverse one of your own commands.”There was Silence…Behind them, the whispers began.“Why are we riding back?”“His Highness dismissed the ceremony himself.”“Something must have happened.”“The Prince has never acted like this before.”“I’ve never even seen him hesitate.”The guards lowered their voices the moment Noah’s gaze s
