ROSELYN’S POV

The first rays of sunlight filtered through the forest as we resumed our journey. Neither Darius nor I mentioned the watcher from the night before. We didn’t have to but It lingered between us like an invisible shadow. Every few minutes, Darius glanced over his shoulder, listening to sounds I couldn’t hear. I had stopped asking what he was looking for, If he heard something, he would tell me. If he didn’t… There was no point worrying.

By midday, the forest began to change, The tow

  • THE CURSED MOON HEIR   CHAPTER 34: THE STONE THAT REMEMBERED

    Roselyn’s POVThree days… That was how long I had been in Whispering Haven. Long enough to learn the names of the villagers, Long enough to stop waking at every unfamiliar sound yet, not long enough to stop feeling like I didn’t belong. Every smile reminded me that these people knew one another, every conversation reminded me that I knew almost nothing about them… or myself.“You’re thinking too much.”I looked up to find Mara standing outside the cottage with two empty baskets.“I didn’t realize it showed.”“It always does.” She held one basket toward me. “Come.”“Where are we going?”“To gather herbs.”I smiled. “I was beginning to think everyone in this village survives on herbs.”Mara laughed. “They heal more than wounds.”The forest surrounding Whispering Haven was unlike Oakridge. Here, sunlight filtered through towering silver-barked trees. Wildflowers blanketed the ground, and tiny streams wound between moss-covered stones. Everything felt untouched, Peaceful. As they gathered

  • THE CURSED MOON HEIR   CHAPTER 33: SHADOWS BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS

    Roselyn’s POVThe forbidden grove haunted my thoughts. Even after returning to the cottage, I couldn’t stop thinking about the ancient stone arch or the warmth that had spread through my pendant the moment I crossed its boundary.Why had it reacted? And why had Darius looked… afraid? The next morning, Whispering Haven carried on as though nothing had happened. Children ran through the fields, Smoke drifted lazily from cottage chimneys, the rhythmic clang of the blacksmith’s hammer echoed across the valley. Only Darius seemed different.He had already left before sunrise.“Where did he go?” I asked Mara.She was hanging herbs to dry outside her home. “He had business.”“What kind of business?”“The kind he never talks about.”I sighed. “I was hoping you’d tell me.”She chuckled. “You’ll soon learn something about Darius.”“What’s that?”“He only speaks when he believes the time is right.”“And if the time never comes?”Mara’s smile faded. “Then he’ll carry the burden alone.”Determine

  • THE CURSED MOON HEIR   CHAPTER 32: THE FORBIDDEN PATH

    Roselyn’s POVMorning arrived with the sound of birdsong. For the first time in days, I had slept without waking to screams or the smell of smoke, yet the memory of the lullaby lingered and so did Mara’s expression. She had looked at me as though she had seen a ghost.A gentle knock sounded at the door.“Roselyn?” It was Mara. “I brought breakfast.”When I opened the door, she handed me a tray of warm bread, fresh berries, and herbal tea.“You didn’t have to do this.”She smiled. “We take care of our guests.”I studied her face, She looked calmer than she had the night before.“Mara…” She met my gaze. “That song…” Her smile faded.“What about it?”“Why did you leave?”For a heartbeat, she said nothing, Then she looked toward the mountains.“Some songs carry memories.”The words sent a chill through me. “I’ve never heard it before.”“I believe you.”“Then how did I know it?”Mara gently placed a hand over mine.“Not every memory belongs to the mind.”Before I could ask what she meant,

  • THE CURSED MOON HEIR   CHAPTER 31: THE HIDDEN REFUGE II

    Roselyn’s POVThe mountain trembled and a deep rumble echoed through the narrow pass as the towering stone doors slowly parted. Cold air spilled from the darkness beyond, carrying the scent of damp earth, pine, and something strangely familiar.I froze. “This place…” My voice barely escaped above a whisper. “…feels alive.”Darius didn’t answer, he simply stepped through the opening. “Stay close.”I hesitated only a moment before following him. The instant my foot crossed the threshold, the rumbling stopped. Behind us, the stone doors sealed shut. I spun around and the entrance was gone. Only an unbroken wall of gray rock remained.I stared in disbelief. “We’re trapped.”“No.” Darius kept walking. “We’re protected.”There was a difference but, I wasn’t sure I understood it.The passage stretched endlessly before us, crystals embedded within the stone glowed with a soft silver light. Unlike torches, their light never flickered, I reached toward one and the moment my fingertips brushed i

  • THE CURSED MOON HEIR   CHAPTER 30: THE WATCHER IN THE TREES

    ROSELYN’S POVWe didn’t stop running, branches clawed at my sleeves as Darius led me through the dense forest. Fallen logs, tangled roots, and thorny bushes blurred together beneath my feet, but he never hesitated. He knew exactly where he was going.“Darius…” I gasped.“Keep moving.”“I can’t—”“You can.” His voice wasn’t harsh, It was certain.So I kept running.After what felt like an eternity, Darius suddenly raised his hand.“Down.”We dropped behind a massive fallen oak covered in thick moss. I struggled to catch my breath while Darius remained perfectly still, listening. The forest answered with silence, Then… Voices, Faint… Too distant to understand. More than one person, I looked at Darius as he slowly placed a finger against his lips for me not to make a sound. The voices grew clearer.“They came this way.”“Search the ridge.”“Don’t lose the trail.”A chill raced down my spine, they weren’t shouting, they were hunting. I instinctively reached for the crystal pendant beneath

  • THE CURSED MOON HEIR   CHAPTER 29: THE PATH OF ECHOES

    ROSELYN’S POVThe forest was changing, the towering oaks that had surrounded us for days slowly gave way to ancient pines whose branches stretched so high they almost hid the sky. The air smelled different here—cooler, carrying the scent of moss and distant rain.Darius slowed his pace. “We’re close.”I looked up. “Close to what?”He glanced ahead without answering.I sighed. “I don’t suppose today is the day you finally tell me where we’re going.”A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “No.”For someone who had saved my life, Darius had an incredible talent for saying very little. Still… I trusted him more than I had a week ago. Not completely, but enough to keep walking. The path narrowed until we reached a shallow stream. Its water was crystal clear, flowing over smooth stones that shimmered beneath the sunlight.Darius knelt beside it. “We’ll refill our waterskins.”I crouched nearby, dipping my fingers into the icy water, it felt strangely… Familiar.
