Ronan didn’t say a word as we walked through the halls.

The moment we reached my wing, he paused. His hand lingered on the heavy door, eyes searching mine with that unreadable, calculated calm he always wore when he was trying to restrain himself from speaking.

Lucien’s scent still clung to my skin like poison.

Even with Ronan beside me, I could still feel Lucien’s body pressing against mine.

Damn him.

Damn me.

“You let him get too close, Aria.” he finally said.

I yanked my hand away from him, I knew he was right but my pride wouldn't let me admit it. “Don’t start, Ronan.”

“He gets under your skin. You let him crawl into your head again, and you’re letting him control you from within”

“I don’t need the lecture tonight.” My voice was lower and less firm than I'd wanted. “Not from you.”

For a moment, there was silence. Then his voice softened, almost breaking me.

He closed the space between us, his tone like velvet. “I’m trying to remind you of who the hell you are

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 116~ The Weakest Link

    《》Ansel' POVThe inside of Selene’s hideout smelled faintly of smoke and something sweeter, like honey that had been left too long in the sun. My feet felt heavier with each step. My boots dragged against the stone floor. Every step felt too loud, like a secret I was still trying to hide.But each echo marked the fact that there was no turning back.The place was like something of a fortress. No doubt she planned on making the last of her tactical plans here before unleashing mayhem. She glanced over her shoulder, smiling at me as if she was just welcoming me into her lovely abode for some brunch instead of a nest of shadows to plan the downfall of our common foe. The word hung heavy in my thoughts. Somehow referring to Aria as a foe still felt... wrong. “Do you know why I chose you?” she asked casually as she moved around a throne like seat dead centre of the room.I swallowed. “Because I could get close to Aria?”Selene’s lips twitched, somewhere between a smirk and a snarl. “Tha

    It was a cold night. The onset of what was to be a cruel winter. The wind howled in my ears. It was sharp, but not as sharp as the way Aria looked at me.Betrayal. Disappointment. Hurt so deep it almost made me look away. Almost.I didn’t mean for it to be like this. None of it. But here we were—her in the dark with that glare, Ronan at her side like a wall I’d never get past again.“Why, Ansel?” Aria’s voice was steady, but I could hear it cracking underneath. “Why are you choosing this?” she looked like she already knew the answer but a part of her was still finding it hard to believe.I swallowed hard. My mind was a mess of excuses, all the reasons I’d repeated to myself so many times they begun to sound like the truth. It wasn’t my fault. I didn’t start this. I had no choice. She made me.But saying them out loud? In front of her? They’d sound hollow.“You think I wanted this?” I finally said, my voice sharp. “You think I woke up one day and thought, I’ll just ruin everything? She

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 115~ She Chose Selene

    《》Selene’s POVI was pacing again. Back and forth. Back and forth. The same damn corner of the Citadel common room. My shoes hitting stone floor like they might break it.Ronan sighed behind me.“Aria. Please. Sit. You’re going to wear a hole into the floor.”“I can’t sit. Don’t ask me to sit.” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t apologize. I couldn’t. Not now.He ran a hand through his hair while I paced towards the window, eyes flicking toward the horizon like maybe—just maybe—Lucien or Cael would appear out of nowhere with the twins in their arms. But there was nothing. No sign. No birds. No magic. Just silence and distance.“We can’t do anything until they return,” Ronan said gently. “Or until we hear something. I know it’s hell, but—”“No.” I turned toward him, fury bubbling just under my skin. “No, Ronan. I’m done waiting. I’m done hoping. If they come back without my babies… if they come back with nothing—”I stopped. My throat burned with the cruel implica

    Cael stood still, eyes on the sky like the raven might somehow reappear if he waited long enough.It didn’t."It probably didn’t vanish," he said quietly. "Just means we’re close."Even with my heightened senses I wasn't picking up on anything. "Close to what, exactly?"He looked at me then. "Wherever it was heading. It disappeared because we’re near whatever it wanted us to find. What it was leading us to"I kept silent, but unease twisted in my gut. "So what now?""We scan the area. Sweep outward. Meet back here in thirty. If you find anything…" He paused, then raised his hand and made a sharp whistle through his teeth. The sound cut clean through the trees."Got it."We split up after that. His scent disappeared quickly. That left me alone. Just me and the dark. My paws trodded the damp earth as I moved between trees, ears twitching at every sound.But my thoughts kept dragging me down.I shouldn’t have lost it. Attacking him like that… What the hell was I thinking?He wasn’t wron

    The bird hadn’t stopped.Two hours. That damn raven kept soaring like the wind never tired it. I shifted into my wolf the moment we left the Citadel so I could match up to Cael's speed. And I thought the run would clear my head. It didn’t.Cael was paces ahead, a blur of golden light that shouldn’t exist in this world. I hated how effortless it looked for him.I pushed harder. Muscles burned, paws slammed the earth, breath came faster, sharper. Still not enough."We’ve been running for hours," I thought and surprisingly, he answered. Except he wasn't speaking either. "You’re slowing down," came his reply, smooth and echoing like it came from deep inside the earth itself. It was a thread. A telepathic tether I didn’t understand but didn’t question. Not right now. "I’m not," I snapped. "I’m just… not used to chasing birds across the entire goddamn world."He fell silent. Then, "You could always go back."He knew exactly how to piss me off.I growled low in my throat. "Not a chance."W

  • The Heart of the Queen: Legacy of The Moonborn   °•♡Chapter 111~ The Limits of Power

    《》Selene’s POVI returned to the twin's tent.The air was cooler now or perhpas I just felt more relaxed. Joran had done well. I sensed the constant hum of magic in the air. A constant reminder that this place was mine.Talia and Kael were curled in opposite corners. She looked exhausted. He looked angry.Good.Joran followed me in. The guards came in after—two loyal rogues with hands strong enough to crush bone and souls unwilling to follow my cause.Talia saw me first. She flinched so hard I thought she’d scream.“Don’t,” I warned softly. “You’ve screamed enough.”“I hate you,” she hissed, rising to her knees. Her small fists trembled, glowing faintly with flickering light.I smiled.She tried again, reaching into whatever part of her gift she understood. A burst of air energy pushed forward like a slap. I didn’t even blink.The power fizzled inches from my face, dissipating into nothing.“I told you,” I said as I stepped closer. “You’ll only use your gifts when I allow it.”“I want
