KIRA'S POV

I sat alone in my office long after Erica left, the silence pressing against my ears in that heavy way that made everything inside my head feel louder than it should be.

The room felt too still, too quiet, almost as if the air itself was waiting for me to do something, but I did not even know what that something was supposed to be.

I leaned back in my chair and let out a long, shaky sigh, the kind that deflated my whole chest, as if I were trying to release all the confusion, fear, and exhaustion that had been piling up layer by layer since this morning.

My mind drifted back to the place I had shoved the bead I found on my window as if hiding it could make the uneasiness it brought disappear. It had not disappeared. If anything, the silence of my office made it feel louder — that tiny bead, lying still and innocent, yet somehow screaming at me that something was wrong.

Lydia’s bead.

I rubbed my forehead slowly. Why would Lydia’s bead be on my window?

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 35

    KIRA'S POV The moment I unlocked my front door and stepped inside, a long, tired breath escaped my lungs, slipping out of me like I had been holding it tightly all day without realizing it. I closed the door behind me gently, letting the soft click echo through the silent house as I leaned back against it for a moment, letting my head fall backward with a dull thud. My neck felt stiff, heavy, like I had been clenching every muscle without pause since morning. I lifted my hand, rubbing slowly from the base of my skull down to my shoulder, rotating it in small circles, trying to massage away the tension.“Goddess… what a day,” I muttered under my breath, feeling a faint sting of exhaustion behind my eyes.Today had felt unusually long. From the moment I woke up trembling from that dream about the blood moon, to the suffocating panic that clawed at my chest when I replayed it in my mind, to the loud, dramatic confrontation Amanda forced on me in the office… every hour had felt like

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 34

    KIRA'S POV I jolted awake.My whole body lurched forward like someone had yanked me out of a drowning sea. My breath tore out of my chest in sharp, broken gasps, and my fingers clawed into the edge of my desk before I even understood where I was.I was in my office.Not the stone room. Not the lantern-lit hallway. Not under the pulsing Blood Moon.I was in my office.But the terror didn’t fade. If anything, it grew sharper.My heart thumped painfully against my ribs, hard and frantic, like it wanted to break free. Sweat clung to my forehead, dripping along the side of my face as I struggled to suck in a shaky breath.The dream flashed behind my eyes again.That sky. That moon… glowing like a bleeding wound in the heavens.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to calm my racing mind.A Blood Moon… Why would I see that? Why now?Another breath trembled out of me."No… no, no, this doesn’t make sense," I whispered to myself, pressing a palm to my chest in a weak effort to steady my heartbeat

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 33

    KIRA'S POVDarkness wrapped around me like a thick blanket—heavy, suffocating, impossible to push away. I didn’t know how long I stayed trapped in it. Seconds… minutes… hours…Time didn’t move here. Or maybe it moved too fast for me to feel.Then, suddenly—My eyes flew open.For a moment, I didn’t understand anything. I wasn’t in my office. I wasn’t at my desk. I wasn’t even sitting.I was lying on a narrow bed in a strange room I had never seen before.My breath hitched.“Where… where am I?” I whispered, my own voice sounding strange to my ears.It came out small, almost fragile, and the quiet around me swallowed it instantly.The air in the room felt cold—unnaturally cold—like the chill that clings to old basements and forgotten places. The walls were made of stone, rough and gray, and a single candle flickered on a tiny table beside the bed, throwing long, trembling shadows across the room.This wasn’t anywhere I knew. My mind raced with a thousand questions—Where was I? What was

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 31

    ANTON'S POV I lay in the hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling tiles like they might have the answers I didn’t. Too much silence surrounded me. Too many questions. And I felt helpless.I needed to remember that dream. I wasn’t just curious—I knew there was something inside it. Something I was supposed to know. Something I had already forgotten once.I shut my eyes and pushed my mind back into the fog.Come on. There has to be something. Anything.A shiver crawled down my spine—the memory of darkness crowding in around me, the sensation of falling, the echo of a cold voice speaking from the shadows. But the moment I tried to reach deeper—Pain exploded behind my eyes.I sucked in a sharp breath, hands grabbing the sheets.Then warm liquid slid beneath my nose, trickling down my face.No. Not again.When I opened my eyes, thick red drops fell onto the white bedsheet. Each one splashed like a reminder that something inside me was broken—and someone, or something, wanted to keep it tha

  • The Moon's Chosen    CHAPTER 30

    KIRA'S POVI sat behind my desk, papers spread in front of me, charts, patient reports, and daily schedules stacked in uneven piles. My pen hovered over a document, but my eyes were somewhere else entirely. My mind refused to cooperate. It kept wandering back to the events of the day—the shadow in the bathroom, Lydia’s terrified face, Anton’s haunted eyes, and the inexplicable bead on Lydia’s bracelet. My chest felt tight, my fingers tapping absent-mindedly against the edge of the desk.“Focus, Kira,” I whispered to myself, trying to summon the discipline that had served me so well. I glanced at the first page, but the words swam on the paper. Numbers, charts, schedules—none of it mattered right now. None of it could matter. My thoughts were elsewhere.The office door opened quietly, and I barely registered it at first.“Kira?”I looked up, blinking, and saw Erica standing there, holding a folder. Her brow was slightly furrowed, and there was a small smile tugging at her lips. “I br
