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 131~ The Girl in the Corner

    《》Selene’s POVI waited for Joran to return, pacing the length of the room. The silence pressed in, thick and suffocating, but it wasn’t the quiet that unsettled me. It was the echo of Ansel’s words. They wouldn’t leave me alone. Her voice, her eyes—too daring, too bold—haunted me like a thorn under the skin.She was forgetting her place. That much was clear. I told myself I would deal with her when the time was right. Maybe sooner than that. But no matter how many times I replayed the thought, it didn’t soothe the agitation inside me.Instead, something else rose—unwanted, intrusive.A flash.The air smelled damp, like mold and smoke. The walls of the cottage were cracked, weak. I saw myself—no, not myself, the child I had been—sitting curled in the corner, knees drawn tight. My small hands trembled as the door slammed open.He came in then. The man. His boots heavy, dragging mud. My pulse spiked as if I were still there.He didn’t look at me. He never did. His fury went straight to

    Dinner was quiet, despite my company. I wss savoring the flavor of the roast,.but my eyes drifted to Ansel across from me. She barely touched her plate, fingers restless, gaze somewhere else entirely.I set my fork down. “You’re brooding.”Her head jerked up. “I’m not.”“You are.” My tone was sharp, leaving no room for denial. “Is it the twins?”She swallowed, lips tightening. “May I feed them? At least tonight.”I leaned back in my chair, studying her. The request was almost laughable. “Feed them? I’ve already decided those little rats can starve. Less work for us.”Her eyes shone with a faint spark of something she tried to hide. But I caught it. I always did.“You’re not growing… attached, are you?” I asked softly, letting the words twist in the air. “That would be disappointing. Dangerous, even.”“No.” she answered a little too fast.I smirked, picking up my wine glass. “Good. Because if you are, I can only wonder whether you'll still be as efficient as I thought. Loyal.” I swirl

    "What do you mean?” My voice was cold.“I see a light in you,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “And I don’t mean goodness, or some priest’s blessing. I mean actual light. A visible one. Burning underneath your skin.”I frowned. “You’re mad.”She laughed softly, not insulted at all. “Maybe. Or maybe you don’t know what you carry.”“You said you knew something. Speak.” My voice was pressed. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze piercing. “What you seek is not for you. You've come here for a woman, have you not.” That made me freeze a second. She walked closer to me. As if the proximity would help her see better into my soul. Then she straightened her head, her eyes widened. “You love her.” I kept my face straight. “But does she love you?” she broke into a disturbingly wide smile.Her theatrics didn't move me, regardless of how spot on the words she spoke were. I was familiar with fake seers. It was nothing more than a lucky guess. And all they did was feed the fire slowly burn

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 126~ Whispers in the Market

    《》Ronan’s POVIt was sometime after we passed the clearing Selene had shown herself last that the real hunt began. Because from that point she could be anywhere, in any direction. Soon we came upon inhabitants just north of the place. The small clan was quiet. By the time we passed their gates, I could feel the tension thick in the air. Eyes followed us, but no one dared to speak.Lucien and I exchanged a single glance“What exactly should we be looking for?” He asked already off his horse. One of the soldiers took the reins from him.“Anything. If it helps our search in the least, it is valuable. We should split up, ask around. See if anyone knows anything.” Lucien nodded, eyes already scanning through the place. “Sounds like a plan. We'll meet back here.” He went toward the barracks and I made my way into the market.The place looked normal enough on the surface—stalls lined with goods, children tugging at their mothers’ skirts. But there was an unease beneath it all. Conversati
