SERAPHINA

~<>~

“H-he took her! ... He took Princess Celeste!”

Lily gasped the second she opened her eyes, thrashing around as if there were some sort of danger that loomed but remained unseen to Kieran and me.

Or maybe I had seen it with the absence of my daughter and heard it clearly with Lily’s words reechoing in my head like mind-shattering thunder.

My knees grew weaker by the seconds, my mind debunking Lily’s statement. My eyes stung, but the pain was nothing compared to that of the fire

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   188. Fading

    SERAPHINA~~I got more than the answers I bargained for. Kieran told me everything, making me understand that Rexton had apparently asked Nicola to perform a forbidden ritual that linked his life force to Celeste. Even if I heard it a million times, I probably still wouldn't believe it. I mean, if I couldn’t wrap my head around it after Kieran, the man I trusted with everything, explained to me, I didn’t know what else could convince me. “Rexton… He is a selfish Alpha who is only capable of fighting for his interest, K,” I argued with Kieran. I wasn’t the one who went to a deadly war, but I still argued with facts because I believed I knew Rexton more than anyone else. “I suppose Celeste became his interest, Ina… because he did save her even when I couldn’t.” Kieran breathed into my mind, his shoulders falling as if he had been stricken by sadness. I hated it… I hated the fact that his words made sense.I hated that the crushing reality of it settled heavily into my chest, fo

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   187. A New Light

    SERAPHINA~~“You should get some rest, Princess Seraphina.” Nicola’s voice was what took my attention and eyes off my daughter after I embraced her and relished in the fact that she was truly safe in my arms. “Rest? How long have I been out?” I asked, my eyes finally settling on someone other than Kieran and Celeste since I regained consciousness. That simple movement of my eyes didn’t satisfy the curiosity burning within me. In fact, it triggered more questions because I got to see so much more than Nicola’s tired face. I saw Remi sitting on the other bed, which I knew was in the lab before I passed out, and Ethan was right by her side. Of course, I wanted to ask if she was okay and knew why they were in the lab, but then my eyes found another familiar body. And this one was lying on a bed that had been placed where Nicola’s huge research table used to be. Rexton… and he looked like–“A dead body?” I heard Kia’s voice for the first time, and of course, she completed my thou

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   186. The Precious Gift

    SERAPHINA~~Nothing can describe the state of nothingness. The space where reality had been morphed. A place where everything felt the same, every day and every second, even though there was absolutely nothing there. Not consciousness. No light. Not darkness. It was just… Nothing. And I wished I could tell what was happening within me, around me, and many miles away from me during the time I spent in that state of nothingness. But sadly, I couldn’t. Not even when the one person I would give my life up for was on the brink of death…. Not even when my moon was this close to being snuffed out. I didn’t realize it then, but I just lay there, doing nothing and completely clueless. Until that very moment when the void around me scattered, giving way to the first feeling in what I could have sworn was an eternity. It came like a rush. All too suddenly, zapping through me like a high current of electricity, jolting my heart and senses back to a world I didn’t even know I had left b

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   185. KIERAN’S POV (25)

    KIERAN~~“We should move out!” If Jesse didn’t speak, I would have remained frozen before the witches' broken ancestral altar with Celeste wrapped in my arms. Tightly. I would have stayed there, my eyes glued to her face, watching the slow rise and fall of her chest just to prove to my racing heart that she was truly, undeniably alive.Her nickname for me still vibrated through my soul, like a fragile thread of gold that had pulled me right out of the pitch-black abyss of my failure. She was looking at me, her small fingers weakly curling into the fabric of my torn shirt, completely unaware that she had just survived a death sentence. Or maybe she knew, but she was fighting the weight of reality to console me. I could see the fatigue in her fluttering eyes. “Rest, Princess,” I whispered, my voice cracking as I gently pressed a kiss to her forehead. Her skin was still freezing, a brutal reminder of how close the coven had come to putting her out permanently. “You are safe now.

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   184. KIERAN’S POV (24)

    KIERAN~~It… it failed. They… the witches. They have failed?My weary, burning eyes opened widely for the first time since the eclipse started. My disbelief was plastered all over my face, but it was nothing compared to what I could read on the witches’ faces. “What did you just say?” Jason, the bastard and betrayer of his own kind, gasped, just as confused and uncertain.Lila, the once arrogant coven leader, looked like her world had ended. She looked like she didn’t know how to move or talk… like a frozen pillar of unshaken but obviously trembling ice. “I asked you a question, Witch!” Jason growled, his hands trembling as he grabbed Lila by the shoulder. But she didn't look at him. Her eyes were glued to the base of the altar, where the crimson light was actively leaking backwards.“Say something!” Jason snapped again. But instead of a response, a choked, bloody cough escaped her lips as she stumbled backward, her hand flying to her chest. On the altar, the darkened light th

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   183. KIERAN’S POV (23)

    KIERAN~~I… I failed. I failed Celeste… and– and Ina. My body shook with a squeezing pain that left me no choice but to crumble right before the barrier that remained unbroken, even though we had spent the last hour trying to take it down. Sweet air left my lungs, as if my body had decided that I do not deserve to breathe anymore… and it would be right because how could I? How could I inhale when Celeste was dying? How could I have failed her like this? How could I let her down? Let her die like she wasn’t a very important part of my life. Like she was some being that could be sacrificed and replaced after…. “Argh!”The guttural scream tore past my lips, ripping my throat raw as I slammed my bloody fists into the dirt. Completely useless. Dead weight. Just like me.I could feel all the Lycan warriors, including Jesse, giving up. I could feel them withdraw. I could also feel the quiet but very strong celebration from the witches we failed to stop before this very second. I co

    ALPHA REXTON~~The feel of her lush, juicy lips on mine caused my heart to quicken with excitement. I heard myself moan into the kiss, feeling a deep sense of relief because the long period of yearning was finally over. My arms snaked slowly around her waist, tracing the familiar curves as I pu
