The curse on Zane lasted exactly seventy-two hours, but each one felt like an eternity.

He lay in our chambers, his body trapped between forms, healing and tearing itself apart in an endless cycle. I barely left his side, my hands moving constantly, trying to ease the pain, trying to find some angle where my healing could touch the curse.

It never worked.

Elder Morgana brought books, researched, consulted with other magical experts through her communication stones. There was nothing. No magic in our world could break a Primordial binding curse.

"Unless you go to them," she said quietly on the second day. "If you surrendered the children to them as payment, they might lift the curse."

"I'm not surrendering my children."

"I know. But you should know what your options are."

By the third evening, as the curse began to lift on its own timeline, I was running on no sleep and pure desperation.

Aurora and Atlas had stopped asking why their father was suffering. They'd simply joined me, placin

  • The Luna's Second Fate   The World Without Me

    "Told through Zane's perspective"The rift sealed, and Aria was gone.I felt it through our bond, a sudden silence where there had always been connection. That bond didn't break. It transformed into something else. A tether to a different realm. A reminder that she still existed, just not in a way I could reach.The fortress erupted into chaos."Seal all the rifts!" I roared, my Alpha command sending warriors scrambling. "Now! While they're confused!"For the next six hours, we worked. Every mage, every Elder, every magical practitioner we had, we threw at closing the wounds between worlds. It was easier now that Aria's presence was no longer blocking our side of them. We could feel the Primordials' distraction, their confusion at what had happened.By midnight, we had sealed every visible rift.But we all knew it was temporary.The Primordials would return. They had centuries to try. And they would adapt, as they always did.What we didn't know was how to live without the Moon Healer

  • The Luna's Second Fate   The Trap Revealed

    The Primordials' forms shifted and twisted around me, circling like predators. I could see every face now, every person I'd ever known who'd died, being worn like masks by these ancient entities."You walked right into it," one of them said, using Marcus's voice. "We've been planning this since the day you healed me from the silver poisoning. We've been patient. We've been careful. And it's all paid off.""The children," I gasped. "Even if you take me, the children will fight you. They'll find another way""The children will join us," a new voice said, and I turned to see myself. A perfect duplicate, but with eyes filled with ancient darkness. "We don't need them to fight. We need them to surrender. And they will, because they'll know you failed. Because they'll understand that resistance is futile.""That's not true""Isn't it? You're going to scream, little Moon Healer. You're going to beg for mercy. And when they feel that through the bond you share, they'll despair. And despair is

  • The Luna's Second Fate   The Crossing

    The moment came on a bright morning three days later.The rift between worlds was visible now—a tear in reality that showed swirling darkness beyond. The Primordials were gathering on both sides, preparing for a final push.We didn't have much time.I stood at the edge of the rift, Zane on one side and Elder Morgana on the other. My children were kept back, despite their protests. They were too young to watch this."Ready?" Elder Morgana asked.I wasn't. But I nodded anyway."Remember," she said, "the rift is held open by their power. To close it permanently, you'll need to match their energy with your own, then reverse it. It's not a spell you cast—it's a choice you make, anchored in your power.""I remember."I walked toward the rift. The closer I got, the more I could feel the wrongness of it. This barrier between worlds wasn't meant to be crossed. The very fabric of reality was screaming in protest.I took a breath.Then I stepped through.The sensation of crossing was indescribab

    Over the next week, I didn't tell anyone about the accelerated aging, but they figured it out anyway.Zane first, he noticed when I sighed as if exhausted from power that should have been simple to maintain. Then Aurora and Atlas, whose perceptiveness was unsettling."Why does Mama smell older?" Atlas asked.I didn't lie. I learned that from dealing with Primordials, lies only complicated things."Because I used magic from the Primordial Prison, and it cost me time.""How much time?" Aurora demanded."I don't know exactly. But less than I'd like.""Then we need to beat them fast," Atlas said matter-of-factly. "Before you run out of time."If only it were that simple.The attacks continued, but they had changed in nature. Instead of probing assaults, the Primordials were now being openly aggressive. Large forces, coordinated attacks, clear intent to break through our defenses permanently.And they were winning.By the end of the second week, we'd lost three outer settlements. By the en

  • The Luna's Second Fate   Into the Prison

    The stone door responded to my touch, opening into absolute darkness.Elder Morgana placed a ward-stone in my hand—a glowing crystal that would light my path and protect me from the deepest magic within. But even with its light, the darkness seemed to press in from all sides."The prison was built to hold Primordials who broke covenant with their own kind," Elder Morgana explained from outside the door. "The Moon Priestess created it three hundred years ago, but she didn't design it alone. She worked with the original Council of Elders.""Why does the Council seem to have forgotten this?""Institutional memory is fragile. Records get lost. Wars happen. People die. And eventually, what was common knowledge becomes legend becomes myth." She touched the stone frame. "This place... it's outside of normal magic. You'll age slower here. Time moves differently. Try not to stay long.""How long can I safely stay?""An hour in there is three hours out here. Two hours in is six hours out." She

  • The Luna's Second Fate   The Breaking Point

    The eastern pass was chaos.The Primordials had forced their way through the protective wards, shredding them like paper. They moved with terrifying coordination, their dark forms flickering between solidity and shadow.But they weren't the worst part.The worst part was seeing the pack members they'd possessed, watching them fight against the creatures wearing their own bodies."Brace your positions!" Zane roared, his Alpha command carrying across the battlefield. He'd begun transforming into his massive wolf form, but I stopped him."No," I said. "Stay human. I need your strategic mind."He nodded immediately, understanding. We'd trained for this—each of us using our strengths while the other covered our weaknesses.I raised my hands, and power flowed from me. Not just golden healing light, but something else. Threads of pure moonlight that wove through the Primordials like silver bindings.The creatures shrieked as the magic touched them. It didn't hurt, exactly, but it contained t
