LOGIN"The moon goddess has always answered us, hasn't she? You cant expect us to turn our backs on her now."I looked up in the sky, like she was watching. "I know she still loves us."I said, and honestly, I didn't know where the conviction came from because lately, I felt the moon goddess wasn't worth our reverence anymore.I'd felt the whole world crumbling on my feet. And after I went to soire to break the mate bond and it didn't work, instead I got trapped with the very person I was trying to avoid, here in soire, my frustration grew. And rage practically ran in my veins.But there I was, still standing with the moon goddess, and trust me, I didn't know where that conviction was coming from."We wouldn't go to serve her rival just because she had temporarily gone silent on us."Alpha Henry said. His voice so stern."But nobody is talking about serving here."Saleen interjected and it wowed me how she'd managed to keep her voice so warm and calm."It's a symbiotic relationship. You pra
I found myself pulling away from her as the energy chargerd at me.And suddenly, my fingers grew numb, and radiating pains to my hands.And that was when it occured to me.This woman here was trying to take something from me.She was trying to take my powers!"No!!!"I screamed. I saw her eyes flash with fear, but she quickly masked it, her eyes back to the warm demeanor. "Is everything okay?"She asked as she leaned further, pressing against my hands, but I pulled them away immediately. "He was right!"I declared, shaking my head as the whole scene replayed in my head.I'd seen the black smoke evaporating from my body.And it could only mean one thing, which was, she was trying to turn my powers into something dark before she extracts it.I got to know about this from the old magic books I read when I was a child.Saleen has an unclean spirit. I'd read it somewhere too and now it's all making sense. I'd allowed the anger I had for Henry to mask and cloud my judgment. I hope it wa
Elara"Saleen… the goddess of the Cibrous Realm!" I shrieked.She nodded and smiled.That smile.It was soft and gentle, almost too perfect. And yet, something about it made the tiny hairs at the back of my neck stand.What the heck was Saleen doing here?On earth?In Soiré of all places?Before I could even begin to gather my thoughts, her fingers tightened slightly around mine, her warmth seeping into my skin like something alive.“I’ve been meaning to meet you, Elara,” she said, her voice like silk brushing against my ears.“The strongest of them all, it would be a shame if we never crossed paths.”My chest rose slowly.Strongest?That word again.Everyone seemed to be saying it lately.But hearing it from her?It didn’t feel like praise, rather it felt like an assessment.“I didn’t know goddesses made house calls,” I replied, my voice steadier than I felt. “Especially ones who’ve been missing for centuries.”She said, still holding that warmth in her face. “If something is impor
ElaraAnother day of being trapped here with Henry, and believe me when I say I was literally losing my mind.The air was chilled like ice, the temperature dropping even lower than it was yesterday. I had gotten up to make some coffee to keep myself warm when I stumbled upon a tray of food at the door of my tent.I growled, rage rising in my blood at once.It screamed something Henry would do.At this point, I didn’t even know what language I would use to tell him to stay the heck away from me.I kicked the plates away, splashing their contents without even caring to know what it was.I headed toward the woods to make a fire. The weather was freezing, and security had earlier announced that the moon fever was still surging.As I lit the wood, I was drawn again to the numerous thoughts crowding my mind.Now, I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in the outside world. How many wolves had died, and how those still alive were getting treatment.It was day two of being trapped here,
Chrysantha Damion and I had taken a very long time talking things through, as regards how we could team up to become a force.And one thing that struck me?He needed my help as much as I needed his.He's supposed to be the instrument to distract that wretch of a luna of his. That Elara, as I helped him tap into my energy and visit the cibrous realm again. Also, he's going tap into my energy to go to soire in exchange of him keeping his mouth shut about the moon fever. But, I received a news that Henry and Elara are both in soire and it tore my feelings apatt.Damn it!I growled, hitting the cup on the wall, shattering it into pieces. "What are you waiting for????"I lashed at the maid who hesitated to clean it up.This would be the 6th glass shot to hit the wall this evening, but rage still shot in my blood."I'm sorry, my lady."She said quickly and left to get the cleaning tools, but the more I heard clicking sounds of her foot, the more I wanted to rip her throat off.I gritted
Elara“This has to be a joke…”My voice came out hollow this time, not even laced with anger anymore, just disbelief.My fingers curled slowly into fists as I turned away from the guards, my jaw tightening so hard it hurt. The air suddenly felt too thick, too suffocating like the walls of soire were closing in on me.And worse? His scent.It was everywhere.I didn’t need to turn to know he was behind me. I could feel him. That bond… that cursed, disgusting bond humming softly beneath my skin like it was alive.“Stay away from me,” I muttered, low and already walking past him.“Elara...” He called, but I howled at him, shutting him up.“I said don’t!” I snapped, spinning around so fast my hair whipped across my face. My eyes burned into his, fury bubbling so violently in my chest it almost choked me.For a split second something flickered in his eyes.“Stop looking at me like that,” I hissed.“Like what?” he asked quietly, appearing all innocent and that infuriated me the more.“Like y
Elara's Pov I berated myself every minute for not thinking this plan through. How should I have known that the moment I was in his presence, my powers would falter and I would not be able to kill him? "Shit!" I cursed underneath my breath as I struggled with him, trying to get him to release the
Chrysantha’s POVThe forge smelled of iron and smoke and old bargains.I liked places like this. They were honest in a way courts never were. Metal did not pretend. Weapons did not lie. They either cut, or they failed.Alpha Daryl stood across the long stone table from me, broad-shouldered and watc
Henry's POV A knock came very early the next morning as I was fastening my vambrace.Th sharp, hurried tap on the door immediately put every nerve in my body on alert. "Enter", I called out.My guards stepped in, bowed stiffly, then straightened with visible unease. "Your majesty...Luna Chrysanth
Chrysantha's POV The night air was damp, and heavy with the scent of rain-soaked earth. I slipped out of the packhouse long after the halls had gone quiet, and my cloak was pulled tight around my shoulders. Every step away from Henry’s chambers felt like a betrayal, but also a liberation.He had c
