(Selene’s POV)

The glowing sigil pulsed beneath the stone floor like a heartbeat.

Mine. It…it felt like mine.

I don’t know how or why it felt like it…but…I can feel it.

Gabriel crouched beside it, his eyes darting over the markings. “This wasn’t triggered from outside.”

Oragon added grimly, “It woke from within.”

Fenrir stepped closer to me, his presence firm and unshakable. “Selene didn’t activate anything. She hasn’t touched this place.”

Gabriel nodded. “That’s exactly the problem.”

The sigil glowed brighter.

A low hum filled the room, vibrating through the walls. My breath hitched. I felt it under my skin—like something inside me was answering it. Pulling toward it.

Calling back.

I backed away quickly. “No—no, stop. I don’t want this. I’m not doing anything!”

Fenrir immediately moved in front of me, blocking the sigil from view.

“Look at me,” he said firmly. “Ignor

    (Selene’s POV)I woke up slowly, my body still heavy but no longer in pain. For a moment, I stayed still, listening. No alarms. No distant rumbling. No whispering voices clawing at the back of my mind.It was just...peaceful. And I kinda like it.The ruins felt far away now, like a dream I couldn’t quite shake. But the memory of the sigils—the way they responded to me, the voice that called me daughter of the first light—remained sharp and unsettling.I pushed myself upright.My head didn’t spin. My chest didn’t burn. Instead, there was a strange awareness inside me, like something had opened its eyes but chosen to stay quiet.A knock sounded at the door.“Selene?” Fenrir’s voice was low, careful.“Come in.”He stepped inside, already dressed for the day. The elven leathers he wore were darker than usual, stitched with silver thread that glimmered faintly when he moved. Here, surrounded by elven architecture and magic, he looked different—less like a wandering guardian, more like some

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Threads of Light

    (Selene’s POV)The guest quarters overlooked the inner groves and terraced gardens spiralled downward, lit by floating motes of pale gold. From up here, the Elven Capital breathed like something alive. Leaves shifted without wind. Stone hummed softly beneath my feet.I sat on the edge of the bed, hands folded, trying to steady my thoughts.Fenrir stood near the open balcony doors, speaking quietly with Lysara. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but soon enough, Lysara excused herself.When Fenrir turned back to me, the weight he carried was more visible. Not fear. Responsibility.“They’ll allow us limited archive access,” he said. “Only the surface tiers.”“Surface is better than nothing,” I replied.He smiled faintly. “You’re adapting too quickly to politics.”“I’ve had good teachers,” I said, thinking of Gabriel—and of Fenrir, whether he liked it or not.A soft chime echoed through the room before either of us could say more. The doors opened, and a woman stepped inside w

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Beneath The Crown

    The Elven Capital looked different from the inside.From afar, it had seemed like a place carved out of light—silver towers rising from living trees, bridges woven from vines and crystal, magic humming softly in the air. But standing within its heart, walking its inner corridors, I felt something else beneath the beauty.Tension.Not loud. Not obvious.The kind that settled into stone and never quite left.We were escorted through a long hall lined with tall pillars etched in shifting runes. Elven guards stood at equal distances apart, spears resting lightly in their hands. None of them spoke. Most of them didn’t even look at me.But a few did.And when they did, their gazes lingered just a second too long.Fenrir walked beside me, his posture straight, his presence commanding in a quiet way. He didn’t wear a crown, didn’t announce himself—but everyone here knew exactly who he was.The exiled prince.I could feel it in the way the guards stiffened slightly as he passed. In the way som

  • The Broken Luna Returns   What The Stone Remembers

    (Selene’s POV)The Ancient Archives were colder than I expected.Not an unpleasant cold, though ti was dreadfully quiet to say the least. The kind of quietness that seemed to stem from stone that had existed long before anyone alive remembered warmth. The air smelled faintly of dust and something sharper, like ink mixed with metal.The doors closed behind us with a low, echoing sound.Lysara led the way without speaking. Her steps were light, practiced, like she had walked these halls her entire life. The walls curved inward, carved with glowing lines that shifted slowly, as if the stone itself was breathing.I kept my hands close to my sides.Fenrir noticed.“You’re safe here,” he said softly, not looking at me but close enough that only I could hear. “The wards won’t harm you.”“That’s not what I’m worried about,” I replied just as quietly.He glanced at me then, his eyes searching my face. I gave him a small shake of my head, telling him not to press. He seemed to understand, becau

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Silver Roots and Stone

    (Selene’s POV)The journey to the Elven Capital took longer than I expected.Not because the distance was far—but because the land itself seemed to resist haste.The forest slowly shifted as we moved deeper. Trees grew taller, their trunks pale silver and smooth, leaves glowing faintly like moonlight caught in green. The ground beneath our feet softened into moss that felt warm, almost alive, adjusting to each step as if it recognized who was walking through it.Fenrir walked ahead of me, quiet and alert.He hadn’t said much since Gabriel announced our destination. His shoulders were straight, posture calm, but there was a tightness in him I hadn’t seen before. Like he was bracing himself for something unseen.Winter, of course, broke the silence first.“So,” he said casually, hopping over a root, “are we talking *royal welcome* or *arrest on sight*?”Fenrir didn’t look back. “Neither.”Winter frowned. “That wasn’t comforting.”Oragon added dryly, “Elves don’t do dramatic greetings. I

  • The Broken Luna Returns   Faint Promise

    (Selene’s POV)The wind was the first thing I felt.Cool. Clean. Nothing like the choking air beneath the ruins.When my eyes finally adjusted, I realized we were outside—on the ridge overlooking the old forest. The ground was dusted with frost, and the early morning light stretched across the mountains in a soft gold wash.I was lying on a blanket Fenrir must have set down for me. Winter and Oragon stood a few feet away, talking quietly over a portable scanner. Gabriel was pacing with a tablet, eyes narrowed and tense, but—for once—nothing was attacking us.Just the sound of wind.Just quiet.Fenrir sat beside me, his back resting against a tree, long cloak draped loosely over his shoulders. His silver hair caught the sunlight, glowing faintly with that ethereal shimmer only elves had. His ears, normally hidden, were uncovered now—sharp, elegant, and twitching slightly with every breeze.I swallowed softly. “Fenrir?”His head turned instantly. “Selene.”The relief in his voice was un
