I tightened my fingers around the leather straps of my boots, pulling them snug as I sat on the cold stone bench out in the training grounds. My breaths came in short bursts, the air was warm but I felt cold.

Ronan was crouched nearby, sharpening the edge of a blade. I knew I wouldn't be allowed to take weapons in, but I suspected it was his way of calming his nerves. His green eyes flicked up, catching mine.

“You ready for a taste of hell, Aria?”

A shiver crawled down my spine. Ronan definitely had a way with words.

“Hell?” I tried to laugh, but it came out strained. “That’s comforting.”

He gave me a small, crooked smile. But there was no humor behind it. I could sense his worry.

“The Second Trial is meant to break you,” Ronan said softly, sheathing the blade and rising to his full, imposing height.

"Isn't that what all the trials are supposed to do? Break me and unleash my barest self and all of that stuff"

His wavy brown hair looked light in the sun. My thoughts drifted as I pict

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 150

    When I opened my eyes, the first thing I felt was emptiness. A hollow ache where warmth should have been. Aria was still there, but not really. Her body lay breathing, her chest rising and falling, but her soul… her soul was drifting somewhere I couldn’t follow without force easily. I sat up slowly, rubbing my face with both hands. I hated the way my heart clenched when I thought of her trapped alone in that black void. I had expected to find her weak, yes, but not like this. She was fading away. Losing herself. Her memories. Piece by piece. She didn’t even remember me fully to begin with. Not our lives. Not the bond we had spent centuries carrying. It was cruel enough that she hadn’t recalled any of that before being dragged into the void, but now—now it threatened to erase even the fragments of me which she had learnt in the few months since my return. I wasn't sure I could handle being a total stranger to her again. I pressed my hand over my chest, trying to steady the une

    《》Cael’s POV The Citadel’s secret archives were silent, as they had always been.The silence was heavy with the weight of all the stakes.Aria's life.I was sure few mortals had ever stepped within these chambers— with all its ancient and sacred knowledge. It wasn't the normal Citadel library. I'd had to pry its location from the high priestess. The air smelled of dust and parchment, and of knowledge that had not been touched in ages. Scrolls curled into themselves as though guarding secrets no one dared to unearth. Books were stacked high upon shelves and in heaps of books I'd long read and discarded for lack of information.And still, after weeks of searching, I had found nothing.Nothing that could bring Aria back to me.My fingers brushed against another brittle page as my eyes scanned the words. But the truth mocked me with its absence. Not a single record spoke of her condition. Not a whisper of how to retrieve a soul caught in the void. For the first time in millennia, I fel

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 145~ The Taste of Power

    《》Selene’s POV I was tired of waiting. Tired of pacing the halls and wondering when Joran would finally show his face again. He should have been back by now. He promised me. But men like him were always better at promises than delivery. I couldn’t wait any longer. I wouldn’t.Weak or not, I knew what I had to do. The ritual was the only thing left that could fix this gnawing hollowness inside me. The cure to the weight dragging me down. The moment I touched their power, all of this—my pain, my hunger, my restlessness—would burn away.I pushed myself up from the bed. My legs shook but they carried me. I didn’t need strength yet. I only needed determination.When I reached Ansel’s chambers, I found her exactly where I expected: sitting with the girl, Talia, huddled close to her like some little shadow. Their closeness irritated me. The girl should have been trembling alone in some corner, not clinging to Ansel like she belonged to her.“Perfect,” I said, forcing my voice to sound smoot
