Chapter 23. The bloodmoon prophecy

Author: Sita.An
last update Last Updated: 2025-05-09 10:39:45

The moon hung like a wound in the sky bleeding, suspended in the firmament, casting a crimson glow over the land. It bathed the forest in a ghastly light, turning the trees into twisted silhouettes, their branches reaching up like skeletal hands, clawing at the heavens.

Seraphina stood at the wide window of the library, her breath fogging the glass as she stared out into the night. The Bloodmoon. She had known it was coming. The air had been thick with a sense of foreboding, a weight pressing on her chest, a warning her instincts had not allowed her to ignore. It was the omen she had dreaded an omen that carried with it the knowledge of something far darker, far deeper, than she had ever imagined.

The ritual was only the beginning.

The prophecy had always been whispered about in hushed tones, something her mother had warned her of, something Morgana's coven had once feared. It had never been spoken in earnest, for it was the kind of knowledge that could unravel the sanity of any who d

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   The witch execution

    The air was thick with tension, the kind that settled in your bones and made it hard to breathe. The crowd gathered around the center of the town square was a mix of fear and anticipation, waiting for the inevitable. The sun had just begun to rise, casting a dim light over the stage of Seraphina Vale’s death. It was a cruel irony that this was her final dawn, and the very warmth of the sun seemed to mock her as it spread across the cold stone beneath her feet. Seraphina’s wrists were bound by silver chains, burning into her skin with every movement. Her once-beautiful gown, stained with dirt and blood, clung to her frame like a shroud. Her dark hair, usually wild and untamed, hung in matted strands around her face, a stark contrast to the calm resolve she wore on the outside. Her heart beat fiercely in her chest, but there was no fear in her. There was only acceptance. The last of the Vale witches was to be burned at dawn, and there was no escape from it. The town had already cond

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   A deal with the alpha

    Seraphina’s heart pounded in her chest as she stood there, her wrists still bound in silver chains, the weight of her new reality settling in with a heaviness that almost crushed her. The bond between them had snapped into place like a curse, invisible but unbreakable. Alpha Dorian Nightbane had claimed her, and now her very existence was tied to his in ways she couldn’t yet understand and didn’t want to.Her mind raced, trying to make sense of the ancient, primal force that seemed to pulse through her veins, linking her to him. There was no turning back. She could feel it now, that pulsing connection, deep and unwavering. It was there, always, whether she liked it or not. But Seraphina was no stranger to curses. She had lived with them all her life, carried the burden of her family's dark magic like a shadow that followed her every step. What was one more curse to add to the pile?Dorian stood before her, his gaze unwavering, as the crowd slowly began to disperse. They were all too

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 3: the Bloodmoon ceremony

    The night had descended upon them like a cloak of shadows, the moon hanging high in the sky, blood-red and foreboding. The Bloodmoon. It was said that when the moon turned such a color, destinies were sealed and fates were rewritten. For Seraphina Vale, the night was an omen one she had no choice but to face. Her heart pounded in her chest as she stood before the altar, the weight of her decision pressing heavily upon her. Dorian Nightbane stood beside her, his presence like a force of nature, both overwhelming and suffocating. She could feel his power radiating, could almost taste the darkness that clung to him. His gaze was unwavering, focused on her as if he could see every secret, every doubt that flitted through her mind. His eyes, gleaming with intensity, made her feel as though she were standing on the edge of a precipice, staring down into the unknown.The air was thick with anticipation, and the gathered crowd those loyal to Dorian, those bound by pack laws watched in silent

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 4: A pack that hates her

    The night air was thick with tension as Seraphina Vale stood at the gates of the Blackveil Pack's territory, her heart pounding in her chest. The packhouse loomed before her like an ancient fortress, its dark, towering walls speaking of strength, pride, and centuries of tradition. The flickering lights inside cast long shadows, the murmurs of the pack audible even from a distance. Seraphina could feel the weight of their hatred long before she set foot within their walls. She wasn’t blind. The whispers, the glares, the way the air seemed to crackle with hostility it all pointed to one undeniable truth: She was an outsider here. She was a witch, and to the Blackveil Pack, witches were nothing but poison. "Stay close," Dorian Nightbane’s low voice broke through her thoughts, his hand briefly brushing against hers as they made their way toward the gates. His touch was cold, but his presence was a constant force, anchoring her as the wind howled around them. "And remember what I said if

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 5. The curse awakens

    The moon hung high in the sky, a blood-red orb casting its weird glow over the Blackveil Pack’s territory. The night was thick with an unnatural stillness, and the air felt charged, as if something dark and powerful was stirring just beyond the edges of perception. Seraphina Vale stood by her window, staring out at the sprawling wilderness. The trees swayed in the wind, their branches whispering to one another in a language only they understood. But for all the quiet, she could sense the unease in the air, the creeping tension that had settled over the pack ever since her arrival. She had tried to ignore it, but it gnawed at her, like a constant undercurrent that refused to be drowned out. The wolves were restless.It had started small at first a few growls, some snapping between pack members, but now, it was escalating. More and more wolves were turning wild, their instincts taking over as if something were driving them to madness. The shadows at the edges of the woods seemed darke

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 6. A Reluctant

    The full moon hung high in the sky, casting an eerie glimmer over the Blackveil Pack’s territory, and Seraphina felt the chill of its light on her skin as she stood, poised and alert in the center of her chamber. The night had grown unusually silent, and that silence like a predator lying in wait had already set her senses tingling. It was a feeling she knew well, and one she could never ignore.She had no time for fear, not when something dark and alarming was lurking just out of sight. The attack earlier had been a warning of that, she was certain. She had barely escaped the rogue’s grasp, but whoever was directing this wasn’t finished. If anything, they were only beginning.Seraphina had spent the last few hours trying to push past the anxiety grinding at her chest, focusing on the feelings she’d had earlier, that early instinct that had warned her of the attack. She knew the curse binding her to Dorian had made their fates far more intertwined than either of them liked, but someth

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 7. The curses first strike

    The packhouse was unusually quiet that morning. The sharp crack of a firewood splitting echoed through the halls, but aside from that, there was no movement. The air was thick, stifling, almost suffocating with an unease that had settled over the pack ever since the rogue attack. Seraphina stood at the entrance, her hand resting on the worn doorknob as she stared into the flickering shadows cast by the early morning sun. Something was wrong. She could feel it deep in her bones. The strange events of the past week had escalated, the whispers growing louder, the shadows darker.She had spent the previous night in her room, eyes wide open, listening to the murmurs of the pack, the hushed voices speaking of bad omens and curses. It was as if the entire pack was on the brink of something terrible, something far worse than a rogue attack.The sudden shrill cry from the packhouse hallway shattered the silence, sending a chill down Seraphina’s spine. It was the unmistakable sound of panic.W

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 8. An unwanted desire

    The wind howled against the high stone walls of the Alpha's study, its chilling gusts ruffling the curtains and carrying with it the scent of wet earth and pine. The moon hung in the night sky, a pale crescent, its light filtered through the thick clouds, leaving the room bathed in an eerie half-light. The crackling fire in the hearth should have brought warmth, but it only seemed to deepen the tension between them, its orange flicker casting shadows that danced like ghosts across the stone walls.Seraphina stood by the window, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, looking out at the dense forest that surrounded the Blackveil Pack's territory. Her mind was racing, her thoughts scattered, but one thing was clear this alliance, this forced bond between her and Dorian, was unraveling. And the more she worked with him, the more she found herself drawn to him in ways she didn't understand.I shouldn't feel this way,she thought, clenching her jaw as she turned her gaze away from the wind

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 22. The second Death

    The snow had barely melted from the trees when they found the body.It was Beta Mason who came pounding on the doors of the packhouse, face pale and eyes wide with horror. Seraphina and Dorian followed him through the woods, silent and grim, each step stealing warmth from their lungs.The clearing where the corpse lay was eerily quiet. No birds. No wind. Just stillness.Lucien stood a few paces from the body, fists clenched and trembling, his jaw locked in silent rage. At his feet, half-buried in the snow and dried leaves, lay what remained of Alpha Kael his elder brother.The body was frozen in a twisted arch, back snapped unnaturally. His eyes were still open, staring at nothing, and carved into his chest were the same ancient sigils they'd seen on Garret-the same signs of resurrection gone wrong.Seraphina knelt beside the corpse, the air thick with decay and blackened magic. She pressed her fingers to one of the sigils, feeling it pulse faintly beneath her skin."It's the same cur

    Seraphina couldn't stop shaking.Even after Morgana's ghost vanished into the cold, even after Garret's possessed body had gone still, the weight of her words remained. Break the bond... or break the world.It echoed in Seraphina's bones, in her breath, in the hollow ache in her chest where the bond pulsed dimmer now. Not weaker. No... it had never felt stronger. But something in it had changed. Twisted.Dorian stood beside her, silent, unmoving, his gaze fixed on the cold stone floor. He hadn't said a word since they turned away from Garret's body and sealed the corridor behind them. She didn't blame him. How could you speak after witnessing something like that? After feeling the curse whisper through the mouth of a dead friend?Still, she couldn't bear the silence much longer."We need to know the truth," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the creaking groan of the old walls. "All of it. No more half-truths, no more waiting."Dorian's gaze flicked to her. "You think Morgan

    The forest felt different at night colder, watchful. Not even the wind dared stir as Seraphina and Dorian crossed into Blackveil territory. The silence wasn't peaceful it was oppressive, the kind that pressed against their ribs and whispered of things best left untouched.Seraphina walked slightly ahead, her steps guided more by instinct than sight. Her magic hummed just beneath her skin, reactive and uneasy. The trees were too still, the night too quiet. It wasn't just that the pack lands were abandoned. It was like something had stolen the soul of the forest itself.Dorian's presence remained at her back solid, grounding, and tense with an energy that hadn't faded since their return. Ever since Morgana's warning days before, the bond between them had begun to throb with something deeper than connection. It was pain now. Pressure. As though time were closing in on them, and their fate was being etched into the bones of the world.He hadn't said much since they crossed the borders, bu

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 19. The witch & The wolf

    Seraphina stood before Dorian, her heart heavy with a mixture of fury, heartbreak, and confusion. Her fingers trembled, not from fear, but from the sheer weight of the question that had been haunting her for weeks. Why hadn't he defended her? She had bled for him, fought for him, and yet when the world turned its gaze upon her when her life was on the line he had been silent. That silence had eaten at her, gnawed at the edges of her trust in him. "Why?" she demanded again, her voice low but laced with an undeniable edge of pain. "Why didn't you defend me? Why didn't you speak up when they called for my execution?" Dorian's eyes flickered to hers, but he didn't speak. The room between them felt impossibly vast, as if the air itself conspired to keep them apart. His jaw tightened, and his fingers flexed at his sides, as though he was resisting some primal urge to reach out and claim her. But he held back, a wall of regret and uncertainty clouding his features. "Seraphina..." His v

    The clearing burned with unnatural heat.Flames danced along the edges of the runes carved into the earth, their glow pulsing in rhythm with Seraphina's breath. Sweat dripped down her spine, her body trembling from the strain of holding the spell steady.It wasn't just a ritual.It was a gamble.She had studied the passage a dozen times in Morgana's journal, tracing each symbol, memorizing every word of warning."Fire is the blood of truth. Once summoned, it cannot lie. But it does not give without taking."Orion stood at the edge of the circle, arms crossed, his expression tight with unease. "You're not ready for this," he said for the third time."I wasn't ready for the curse either," Seraphina murmured. "But it came anyway."Her voice was low, steady. But inside, a storm brewed.She had to know.She had to see beyond the veil of fate and fear. To understand what her ancestors had started and what it would truly take to end it. The curse was no longer a shadow on the horizon. It was

  • The Alpha's Cursed vow   Chapter 17. The council decree

    Dawn broke with an eerie stillness.Lucien stood at the edge of the Alpha's balcony, the cold wind biting at his jaw, his arms folded tightly across his chest. Below, the Blackveil grounds were unusually quiet. The warriors moved slower. The guards snapped at one another more than usual. And still no one dared speak the truth.The Alpha was gone.And no one knew if he would return.Lucien closed his eyes for a moment, the weight of command pressing hard against his shoulders. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. The plan had been simple: Seraphina would leave, the curse would fade, and Dorian would survive.But Dorian hadn't faded.He had frayed.And now he was out there, chasing the very witch the council had condemned.Lucien clenched his jaw.He had tried to reason with him. Had tried to stay silent. But silence no longer felt like loyalty it felt like betrayal.The council had already summoned him once this morning. They would summon him again. And this time, he couldn't li

    The wind howled through the clearing as Orion drew the runes in ash and salt, his voice low and firm."Again."Seraphina's shoulders trembled with effort. The magic burned under her skin like molten fire, rising in waves, untamed and angry. It had a pulse now, separate from her own stronger, darker. She gritted her teeth, forcing it down, willing the heat to recede into her bones.But it wouldn't obey.The flames at her fingertips danced wildly, shifting color from gold to a sickly green. The air thickened, and the circle beneath her cracked.She staggered, dropping to her knees. Orion's hand was at her back in an instant, steady but unyielding. "You're not listening to it. You're trying to control it.""Because it's mine," she snapped, her voice hoarse. "I should be able to command it."He didn't flinch. "It doesn't work that way. You're not dealing with elemental fire anymore. This is blood magic. It's alive. And right now, it's not sure you're strong enough to wield it." She

    The sun rose like a bloodstain across the sky.Seraphina stood at the edge of the cliff, her hair tangled by the wind, eyes fixed on the horizon. She hadn't slept. Not really. Even with the fire Orion had built and the protective wards he'd drawn in the dirt, rest was impossible. Dreams came for her the moment her eyes closed twisted images of wolves howling in fire, blood dripping from the moon, and Morgana Vale's voice whispering in a language older than time. "The curse began in fire. It must end in ash."When dawn broke, she was already moving.Orion didn't try to stop her. He only watched from the shadows, arms crossed, his gaze unreadable as she shouldered the leather satchel and disappeared into the forest. He'd told her where to go a place long forgotten, buried deep in the hollow hills.The original sanctuary of the Vale witches.Her mother had never spoken of it. It had become legend, spoken of only in warning: "Nothing grows where the coven burned."It took hours, maybe
