MENODORA'S POV

A sudden quiet falls over the hall, pressing against my ears and making every held breath and rapid heartbeat feel overwhelmingly loud in the empty space. My pulse slams against my ribs like the wings of a trapped bird trying to escape. There it is, the one thing that nobody wants to discuss directly, choosing instead to dance around it. The very thing that haunted my life since the moment I could breath.

“What do you know about the Blood Moon children?” He asks again like I mig

    MENODORA'S POV I take one hesitant step towards the footprint but Orvax holds me back.“Don't!" He says, his grip is so tight on my forearm, I can almost feel it bruising. “I'm not going anywhere," I tried to reassure him. He nods, but his fingers tighten even more around my forearm.“I know you think you can protect yourself, but it would put me more at ease if you are always within my line of sight." I almost smile at the protectiveness in his words. “I am wary of everyone here, including the Keeper." His words are hushed, meant for my ears alone.I'm about to whisper back some reassuring words to him when a faint glow in the wall of the hidden passage catches my attention. It's a crescent eye surrounded by three smaller markings. They look familiar but try as hard as I might, I just couldn't remember where I have seen them.I reach my fingers towards it and the symbol reacts to me, glowing ever brighter.“Seems like everything here does react to us doesn't it?" My wolf sneers and

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 81: THE EASTERN PASSAGE II

    MENODORA’S POV The question escapes my lips quietly. No one answers until Cassian decides to.“It could probably be a part of their plan. They probably wanted you to react or they wanted the ward to react to you.”His words settle heavily between us, thick and immovable like a thick cold fog. “That's not possible, “ Orvax replies, jaws locking into a single minded angle. The muscle in his cheek tick once before settling in rigid defiance. “Are you really sure that it isn't?” Cassian casts a quick glance in the direction of the eastern corridor before looking at Orvax again. “Don't you think anyone smart enough to open the ward would also be smart enough to know what would happen after they did?”Beside Cassian, the vibrant colour is slowly leaching from the Keeper’s skin, leaving behind an ashen grey hue that made her eyes look unnervingly larger than the rest of her face. “Now that I think about it, they may have been trying to test the response the wards would have to her.”“Wh

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 80: THE EASTERN PASSAGE

    MENODORA'S POV“The enemy has remembered you." The words remain suspended in the air, hanging by a single thread even after the Keeper stops talking. Nobody seems to remember how to breathe, the air hanging thick refusing to move past our lips."Everyone out. Now!” Cassian breaks the silence his voice cuts through the chamber with enough force to make me move before I have time to think.“Lupa?” Orvax catches my hand. I squeeze his fingers to tell him I'm fine before crouching to Elira's level."Elira?” I call, placing my hand on her shoulder softly. She doesn't answer, eyes still fixed on the broken piece of silver lying on the floor, totally unaffected by everything happening around her.“Elira?" I try again but still no response."Elira, you need to leave it!” The Keeper gently orders. This seems to get through her because she breaks out of her reverie to look at her."But…but it belongs…to my mother…” she says, her voice breaking several times leaving the final words fractured, s

    MENODORA'S POV Orvax's voice is low, almost inaudible.“Whatever this means, we can continue this discussion when we get somewhere safe.”"But there's no place safer than here right now.”The Keeper is shaking her head like she's in a trance."The eastern passage has only been breached once…” Cassian says in agreement with the Keeper, jaws clenching so hard, I can hear his teeth grinding together.“That's only that you know of. What if it's been breached more than once?" The Keeper muses.Cassian looks up, eyes narrowing into unsure slits."What do you mean by that?” His voice sounds strained, like he's fighting hard against losing control with reality.“I don't know Cassian. Looking at the nature of this breach, whoever this may be knows how to open the eastern ward…the most intricate ward in this Kingdom. What if they know more about this Kingdom than we think they do?”The Keeper finally turns to look at us, a quiet unspoken focus that drains out all the background noise, leaving

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 78: THE DOOR IN THE EAST GARDEN

    MENODORA’S POVSeveral seconds pass and no one moves or speaks, too stunned into silence by the implications of the Keeper's words. From the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of Elira, her chest barely moving in that up and down motion to show if she is breathing or not. I am hardly breathing myself and I am sure that the rest of us are hardly breathing as well. The only sound that can be heard between us is the distant wail of the warning horns bouncing off the stones of the walls lining the garden.A glint of silver catches the light and the reflection of it feels blinding. Turning to see what it is, I glimpse the sight of the pendant still dangling in the hold of Elira's trembling fingers. My eyes are particularly drawn to the crescent eye…the symbol of the Keepers of Memory, the same symbol we had found on the stone tablet and very same pendant that just might have managed to open the passage that should have been impossible to breach.“Elira,” I barely feel the words form on my

  • The Luna's Blood Moon: She Refused To Bow   CHAPTER 77: ELIRA III

    MENODORA'S POVThe chest clicks open and I brace myself for the unexpected, but it never comes…no dramatic explosion, no sudden flash of hot white light…just a quiet click. Inside the chest is a stack of letters, yellowed and dusty from the length of time, beside them is a small pocket sized journal and a piece of dark blue fabric embroidered with silver thread.Elira reaches for the journal with trembling fingers.Flipping open the first page, there is only one sentence.“To future Elira, if you ever find the way back to your destiny…” Elira starts to read aloud. A sharp microscopic hiccup of air escapes her lips, the tiny movement pulls her shoulder tight and her fingers grow tense around the journal. The sight of it feels like a leaden weight settling squarely on my breast bone making each inhale feel like lifting a stone.She turns the page and the handwriting catches my attention. I move closer to trace a finger over it…it is unmistakably feminine and delicate.“Lysandra," the Ke
