The Moon Between Them

The forest seemed to hold its breath.

Ash drifted through the atmosphere like gently falling snow, faintly illuminated by the moon. The night felt overly quiet, almost oppressive—like the world itself was afraid of what might occur next.

Selene stood frozen in place.

The fragrance of smoke and soil filled her lungs, but all she could sense was the wild, electric tug of the bond—the very one she had tried to stifle for moons.

And now, right before her, stood the man she could never forget.

Reven.

He emerged from the shadows, his figure tall and unyielding, cloaked in darkness. His silver gaze captured the moonlight—haunted, furious, yet undeniably alive. He was no longer the calm, steadfast Alpha she once revered. His presence was sharper, colder, like steel tempered by sorrow.

Selene’s heartbeat quickened. Every instinct urged her to speak, but her throat refused to cooperate.

“Reven…” The name fell softly from her lips, delicate, as though utter

    The Flame of TruthSilence enveloped the ruins. Only the wind dared to murmur between the shattered walls as Kael stepped out into the moonlight. His unruly dark hair framed his face, and his crimson eyes shimmered with otherworldly power. Time had altered him — or perhaps the curse had. The boy who once considered Reven a brother now resembled more of a vengeful creature than a wolf.Selene’s heartbeat thundered in her chest. She felt the bond within her stirring, responding to Kael’s presence like fire igniting oil.“Kael,” Reven spoke, his tone steady yet menacing. “You should have remained buried with your sins.”Kael laughed, a deep, bitter sound filled with too much anguish. “And miss the reunion? You truly hurt me, brother.” He tilted his head, glancing at Selene. “Or should I refer to her as your Luna? Tell me, Reven, does she still pray to the goddess who deserted her? Or have you both realized that love is simply another deception?”Selene’s jaw clenched, but she stood her g

    The Night of the MassacreThe journey to the north seemed infinite. Each mile unveiled memories Selene desperately tried to forget — the cries, the scent of blood, and the icy flame of betrayal that had consumed their pack that night. The night their lives shattered. Reven traveled ahead, his wolf instincts keen, scanning the woods. His silver fur shimmered under the moonlight, a specter among shadows. Selene trailed closely, her own wolf restless within her. The nearer they got to the ruins, the stronger the ache in her chest became — as if the land itself recalled her anguish. By morning, they arrived at the northern ridge. The remnants of the ancient stronghold emerged from the ground like bones, heavy and silent with history. Vines twisted around the crumbling stone walls, and what had once been their refuge now resembled a tomb. Selene dismounted slowly, her hands quivering as she touched a fallen pillar. “It still carries the scent of smoke,” she murmured. “Even after al

    Shadows of MemoryThe moon hung low in the darkened sky, its silvery light barely penetrating the thick fog that rolled over the valley. Selene stood at the remnants of the ancient temple where the goddess once was worshipped, her cloak brushing against the stones that murmured with echoes of forgotten prayers. Each shadow seemed to hold a memory, each whisper a voice from her history.Reven stood beside her, quiet but steadfast — a presence she could finally rely on once more. His fierce golden eyes softened when they met hers. Pain and guilt still lingered, but there was also something else… something that had been lost and was gradually coming back.“You used to visit this place,” he spoke softly. “Before the curse. You’d ask for peace — even in times when I didn’t believe it was possible.”Selene’s lips formed a slight smile, though her heart was heavy. “I prayed for you,” she said quietly. “For us. For the pack. But I think… perhaps the goddess never listened. Or maybe she did, a

    The Goddess’s WhisperAfter their confrontation, silence lingered like a thick mist. Even the breeze seemed hesitant to stir in their presence. The moon cast a feeble light above, its glow struggling to penetrate the drifting haze.Reven was the first to break the stillness, his posture stiff. “Return home, Selene,” he said, not turning around. “You’ve done enough here.”Selene's tone was gentle yet firm. “You really believe I can go back after all this? There’s nothing waiting for me anymore. You turned it to ash.”He became completely still, every fiber of his being frozen in place. She noticed how tightly his hand was clenched—hard enough to break skin.“I didn’t do it out of delight,” he replied at last. “I acted because everything the goddess touched turned toxic. The pack. The land. You.”Her heart ached. “And yet I still stand here.”Then he turned to face her, his gaze sharp as a knife. “That’s what frightens me.”For a brief moment, silence reigned between them. The woods cre

    The forest had fallen silent.It was ablaze.Selene and Mira navigated through the haze, their footsteps crunching on charred earth and broken branches. The once-vibrant canopy had been consumed by flames, leaving behind gnarled shadows reaching for the sky. The air was saturated with the odor of ash, blood, and something ancient—something that hinted at finality. Each inhalation burned Selene’s throat, but she pressed on. She had to.Not when each step brought her nearer to Reven.“He’s annihilating everything,” Mira grumbled, pulling her cloak tighter around her shoulders as sparks danced like dying fireflies. “This has transcended war. It’s sheer vengeance.”Selene avoided glancing back. Her gaze remained fixed on the faint trail ahead, her voice steady but devoid of warmth. “Perhaps that’s what I deserve.”“Don’t say that.” Mira’s voice gained a sharper edge. “You made a choice—one the goddess imposed on you. Reven’s anguish shouldn’t be your eternal punishment.”Selene’s pace fal
