I don’t remember falling asleep. But when I woke up again, it was already bright outside.

Sunlight spilled in through the window, casting golden lines across the floor. The air smelled of herbs and something sweet—maybe honey?

The ache in my chest was still there, heavy and dull. But unlike last night, the pain lessened, probably because I was slowly accepting this painful reality.

I blinked against the light and turned slowly, finding Marcus curled in a chair by the window. His head tilted back, his arms crossed, seemingly deep asleep. His hair was a mess, like he hadn’t left my side all night. And he probably didn’t.

A quiet knock made me flinch.

The door opened slightly, and a girl peeked in, bright auburn hair tied up in a high ponytail, wearing a soft gray sweater and jeans. She froze when she saw me awake.

“Oh my goddess,” she whispered. “You’re up!”

I didn’t get a chance to say anything before she ran to the bed and pulled me into a gentle hug, but she was carefu

  • The Broken Luna Returns   The Cost Of Being Chosen

    We didn’t stay in the clearing.No one said it out loud, but we all felt it, the way the forest felt after the spies vanished. This land is scared, perhaps all the destruction we cause dis causing a negative reaction to it, as we stepped deeper we felt our bdoy getting heavier. Or at least that's what i felt. Fenrir could barely stand, yet he insisted on walking.“I won't allow anyone to carry me,” he said flatly when Gabriel suggested it.“You’re bleeding internally,” Gabriel shot back.Fenrir didn’t look at him. “Then let's just walk faster.”I stayed at his side, my arm looped around his waist, pretending I was helping him balance instead of the other way around. Every step sent a dull ache through my own chest, like an echo of his pain. The bond, or rather our bond hummed faintly between us, it was impossible to ignore now.It scared me how natural it felt.So this is the result of me fusing my magic with him, huh?Winter scouted ahead, unusually quiet. Lysara kept glancing behi

  • The Broken Luna Returns   What We're Waiting

    Fenrir didn’t wake right away.That was the first thing I noticed once the adrenaline faded and the forest settled back into an uneasy silence.The legion was gone, howver, remnans of the taste of blood still lingered in the air.I sat beside Fenrir, my knees drawn to my chest, my fingers still loosely wrapped around his hand. I was afraid that if I let go, something would happen to him.Winter was lying a few feet away, propped against a tree while Gabriel worked on sealing his wound. He was pale but conscious.“Next time,” Winter muttered, “Let's just try and make a run for it. Fighting takes a lot of energy and work, not to mention the blades of the enemy can chop our head off in one fell swoop.”“No one forced you to jump in front of that battle, no less their flying swords directed at us,” Gabriel replied without looking up.Winter smirked weakly. “You saying you wouldn’t?”Gabriel didn’t answer.Lysara moved quietly around the clearing, reinforcing protective shields for us. Eve

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Blood On The Ground

    The silence didn't last for long.The legion advanced in waves, boots pounding the earth in unison, shackling and vibrating the ground with their might.Their armor was dark and etched with twisted runes that hurt to look at for too long. Fenrir moved in front of me again without a word.“Stay close,” he said. “No matter what happens.”I nodded, throat tight.They came fast.The first clash was brutal.Winter hurled himself into the fray with a feral grin, blades flashing as he weaved between enemies. Oragon fought like a ghost, striking from blind angles and vanishing before anyone could retaliate. Lysara and Gabriel stood back-to-back, magic arcing between them in controlled bursts.Fenrir was something else entirely.Silver light wrapped around him as he moved, his blade singing through the air. Each strike was precise and lethal. I could feel his restrained power. Just from the amount seeping to him was already strong, and to think that he's still holding back his true strength.

  • The Broken Luna Returns   When the Masks Fall

    We didn’t make it to dawn.The first scream reverberated throughout the forest in a manical way.I bolted upright, my heart slamming against my ribs. The wards Fenrir had set flared bright blue, rippling through the trees like a wave of light.“Everyone, gather!” Fenrir snapped.Steel rang out immediately.Winter was already on his feet, knives flashing in his hands, while Oragon moved like a shadow, disappearing into the darkness beyond the fire. Gabriel raised his staff, murmuring a spell under his breath.Lysara froze for half a second, then swore softly in Elvish that I couldn't understand.“They didn’t wait,” she said.Another scream erupted, closer this time.Fenrir grabbed my wrist. “Stay behind me.”I nodded, forcing my legs to move as we backed toward the center of the camp. The forest exploded into motion. Dark figures burst through the trees, fast and silent, their armor swallowing the moonlight.Assassins.Not scouts.They moved with deadly precision, they were too coordin

  • The Broken Luna Returns   The Weight of What We Carry

    The forest didn’t feel the same after the ambush.The loud crickets and the buzzing of the animals stopped. It was quiet. The kind of silence tht you know will bring danger any minute the further you step into it. That kind of quiet that presses against your ears and makes you listen to your own breathing too closely.Every step we took after leaving the ravine felt heavier, like the ground itself was aware of what had happened and was judging whether we deserved to pass.No one spoke for a long time.Fenrir walked beside me, close enough that our arms brushed now and then. He didn’t try to hold my hand. He didn’t tell me to slow down or speed up. He just stayed there, steady and silent, like an anchor.I appreciated that more than I knew how to say.Winter finally broke the silence, kicking a small stone down the path. “So… scouts.”“Yes,” Gabriel replied. “Elven-trained, rune-marked. Not mercenaries.”“Meaning official,” Winter muttered. “Or at least backed by someone powerful enoug

  • The Broken Luna Returns   What Lies Ahead

    The forest didn’t quiet down after Kaelen vanished.If anything, it grew even more thicker.The air felt drawn thin, like a held breath that refused to release. We continued forward in silence, each step measured, every sound scrutinized. Even Winter had stopped making comments, which somehow made things worse.Fenrir stayed close, too close to be casual, but not close enough to suffocate me in a sense. His presence was steady, deliberate. Protective without being loud about it.I kept thinking about Kaelen’s eyes.That look of interest in his eyes, that was mixed with excitement? Honestly, that person was hard to read.Like I was a problem he was excited to solve.We reached a narrow ravine by mid-morning. Silver-leafed trees bent over it, their branches arching together like a natural bridge. Below, water flowed quietly, clear enough to see smooth stones lining the bottom.Gabriel finally broke the silence. “We stop here.”Fenrir nodded. “Good choke point.”Oragon scanned the treeli
