last update publish date: 2026-05-10 00:08:34

MENODORA'S POV

“Then, what are you?" I ask, though I know I'm starting to push the boundaries a little too hard.

"What am I? I have never really considered this question before now you know,” a noise that sounds like self depreciating laughter escapes his lips. “What am I? I don't know…maybe the one who left”

His answer doesn't directly answer my question, but this time, I let it go. More than I want to, I understand him. Silence becomes our companion again, but it's less hostile this time. It

    MENODORA'S POV I see Elira rise as well, trying to stop me from leaving.“Please…” her voice cracks on the word."Please what?” Please sit down while you decide what lies and half truths to feed me with next?" I can barely manage to keep out the bitterness I feel in my bones from seeping into my voice.Elira flinches like I just physically delivered a brutal slap to her face and although the sight should have made me feel a sense of guilt, I feel absolutely nothing.“You knew my mother…and my father didn't you?”"Yes, yes I did,” Elira answers without hesitation but Cassian stays quiet."And you knew what happened to them didn't you? Especially my father?”This time around, Elira takes a few beats before she nods slowly.“Which means you have probably known who I am all the time, yes?" Elira nods slowly again and a bitter hollow sound escapes my lips. Even on my tongue, I can taste the bitterness of it."Isn't that just wonderfully convenient?”"Dora…it's not what you think…" “How

    MENODORA'S POV The words stay suspended in the air, hanging over my head like a piece of dark cloud. Throughout the day, try as hard as I could, I just cannot get his words out of my mind“You have spent your life asking the wrong questions." Those are the words that flowed from Cassian’s lips, but they didn't flow like water. They feel like little darts aimed at my already battered heart."Are you okay?” Orvax asks for the gazillionth time since Cassian's arrival. I know he is worried even when he is trying so hard not to let it show."I'm okay…I think, it's all just too much to take in at once." “I know, I know lupa. We'll figure it out eventually, together." He is rubbing soothing circles in my back and although I do not tell him to his face, I'm grateful to have him by my side at a time like this.“What do you think they're doing right now? Think they have met your dad?” A small chuckle bubbles in my chest at the thought of Cassian and Orvax's dad having a face off."As far as I

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 54: THE WRONG QUESTIONS

    MENODORA'S POV The words are like a big mass of boulders, falling on the walls of my heart and shattering it into little shards of glass that feel like they're piercing deep into my lungs, making me unable to properly draw my breath. I look down at the comb that I am now clutching in my hand like it's the last thing holding me together. The pendant hidden in the inner pocket of my cloak feels too hot, like it's burning at the very skin on which it rests.A faint rhythmic pulse thrums beneath my fingers and the tremor in them would not stop.“No…no…no…this isn't…it isn't…fair,” my mind is broken and I can not form coherent thoughts. All my life, I lived believing that my father had abandoned me…abandoned my mother…even to her death. And now? Everything just seems to be happening at the same time, too much for my fragile mind to keep up with.“Why now? After all these years, why now?" I ask the one question that keeps nagging at my mind. I give myself an invisible pat on the back for b

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 53: WOMAN BENEATH THE TREES

    MENODORA'S POV We all stand transfixed in the same spot."I think…I think I have been followed,” the stranger who brought the comb whispers, his words cracking from his shaky voice. He is standing in an impossibly still posture, I'm not sure how is even breathing. His face is ashen, drained of all colour and his lower lips tremble slightly.As if on cue, from the edges of the trees, a single figure steps out from the cover of the shadows, into the sunlight. It turns out to be a woman…not too old and not too young either. She is taller, not as tall as Orvax and Kova but slightly towering over me. She has dark hair which she wears braided over one shoulder. Her clothes are mostly hidden by a long reddish cloak that she has draped over her slim frame.She doesn't seem to be in possession of any weapons, at least not where my eyes can reach enough to see them. She stops to wait, just a few paces separating her from the gate.Orvax takes a step forward on instinct. His body came between m

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 52: MESSAGE FROM AN OLD FRIEND

    MENODORA'S POV I gap at him, the sound of my own pulse drowning out his words.“There's no way this is real," I think to myself, the reality of the moment refusing to take root in my head.“And what old friend is this if I may ask?"“A man who spent the most of his life regretting his decisions and the mistakes that he made." My heart is beating so fast and so loud in my chest that I'm so sure everyone can hear it clearly in the silence that follows."What…what man?” I hate how shaky my voice is, I hate that this is affecting more than I think it would.A heartbeat stretches into two as the stranger looks like he's contemplating what to say next. Finally he lets out a soft huff and opens his mouth to speak."I have been told not to disclose that.”I shut my eyes tight to contain the hysterical laughter already threatening to bubble out of my throat. Just when I think I'm about to get answers, he refuses to offer up those answers easily.“Why does nothing ever go my way?” This though

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 51: THE GATES

    MENODORA'S POV “Seems they have found you first." In his words, terror strikes me like I just took an invisible plunge into a freezing pool. The warmth from earlier is now completely drained from my face and in its stead, there's a slick unnatural dampness on my skin. It is as if my skin is rebelling, shedding in an act of sudden silent panic. And the horns…they just would not stop sound now. One toot after another.The sound rolls through Rogue land like the clap of thundering and everyone moves in panic. The warriors rush towards the eastern wall and the villagers abandon whatever it is they had been doing. Children are rushed into the shelters and doors are slammed shut with sickening urgency. And just like that, what should have been a peaceful morning is untimely ruined.“What do we do?" I turn to look at Orvax, realizing somewhere in the back of my mind, just how much I have come to rely on him in times like this. “We have to go check it out to know what we're even up against
