They were crossing a threshold, stepping into a new world with no idea what awaited them, but they knew they had each other. Just as they reached the gate, Iris paused, turning back to face the Moon Goddess. She took a deep breath, her voice soft yet clear. "Thank you, Mother," she said sincerely, her tone carrying genuine gratitude despite everything that had happened. The Moon Goddess's expression didn't change. Her eyes were as cold as the stone beneath their feet, her lips a thin, tight line. She didn't acknowledge Iris's words; instead, her voice cut through the air like a knife. "Don't thank me," she said, her tone as sharp as ice. "This choice you've made comes with a price, and you have no idea what's waiting for you out there. It's not a fairytale, Iris. The dangers are real, and you will face them without the protection I offered you." Iris's shoulders slumped slightly, the weight of her mother's words sinking in. She knew this path wouldn't be easy, but hearing it from th
The force of the impact left her sprawled on the ground, a trail of blood spreading from where she landed, the harshness of Yennefer's attack shocked me; her mourning dress couldn't hide the intensity of her anger, nor could her tears mask the hostility in her gaze. The scene unfolded in slow motion, the violence of Yennefer's spell stunned me. As I watched Iris struggle to get up, pain evident in every movement, I couldn't help but wonder what had driven Yennefer to this point of viciousness.The forest, once eerily silent, was now filled with the echoes of conflict and despair. It was as if the very walls were absorbing the pain and anguish, amplifying the darkness that seemed to seep from every corner. Yennefer's sudden arrival and her brutal actions raised questions I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answers to. Yennefer paid no heed to anyone or anything as she lunged for Xander's body, hugging him tightly as her sobs grew louder and more anguished. It was as if the pain of los
ETHAN'S POV After walking for three days and nights, we finally reached the barrier at midnight. The air was cooler, but the silence around us felt unnerving, like the calm before a storm. As we approached, I noticed something strange—dried blood and old skeletons scattered across the ground. The desert sand had almost covered them, but enough remained to catch my eye.I knelt down by one of the skeletons, my fingers brushing away the sand to examine the tattered remains of its clothing. A chill ran down my spine as I recognized the distinctive red crest on the fabric. It belonged to the Red Moon Pack. I stood up, my heart racing. The presence of their remnants here meant something had gone terribly wrong.I signaled my army to halt, my senses alert for any sign of danger. The barrier loomed ahead, a shimmering field that marked the boundary between our world and something unknown. The skeletons told a grim story of what might have happened to those who dared to cross it.I knew I ha
It's getting late but I don't want to go back to my pack yet. I calmly sat near the stream and enjoyed the soothing sound of nature. Even though I can't see, I can hear it all beautifully, the gentle breeze, the birds laying their nest and crickets lifting the mood.As the only child of the Alpha of Blood Moon park, I inherited my Father's Alpha quality even though I'm a Female which was considered Rare and unique, but I was born blind, and that made me the biggest joke of my Park.18 years of my life has been spent on proving my worth to everyone, including my parents. I was fine with it before but now I'm really tired.[Selene! Where are you?].I heard my mother speaking to me through the Mind link, I took in deep breaths and replied to her. "Don't worry, I didn't go far".[Come back fast my dear, Your Dad needs you], She said. My brows wrinkled the minute I heard the worry in her voice, "I'm on my way", I replied to her and stood up. Something must have happened. I immediately shift
'Ethereal' is the word I can use to describe this moment, her golden eyes penetrated mine and then I heard her say, "Mate!".Damn why do I suddenly feel strange, I can feel a warm energy coursing through my veins like never before. All the pain I was feeling slowly faded, it was like I was brought back to life. I then noticed all the gruesome wounds were no more."What exactly are you?!". I heard her ask again."Thank you...". I said Instead of answering her question. I then tried to sit up so I could get a better view of her.I closed my eyes for a bit and opened them back, it's not a dream she's still here. She is the most beautiful Wolf I have ever seen in my entire existence. Her white fur was just like porcelain jade dazzling under the moonlight, her golden eyes adorned her fur screaming Goddess. She just has to be the embodiment of the Goddess of the moon Selene.I couldn't control myself again as I stretched my hands forward, and she carefully moved closer and lowered her h
Emelia's POVIt's already dawn and Ethan isn't back yet, I couldn't help but pace back and forth filled with extreme worry, "oh Moon goddess please protect my son"."My lady, the second prince is back ". Sheila, my personal Maid informed me. "Where is he?!". I asked hurriedly."He is at the pala_". Without waiting for her to complete her sentence, I quickly ran to the palace.Seeing him walking like someone who just survived an apocalypse looking all haggard and nothing like a prince, I felt my heart drop. "Ethan...". I called out as I quickly ran closer to him and enveloped him in a tight hug like my life depended on it."What the heck?". I slapped his shoulders lightly, "where have you been?, I was worried sick you know!!". I ranted uncontrollably. His extremely pale face and chapped lips clenched my heart like crazy.I was about to tell him to quickly go get rest, but then I heard him say, "Mom I want to sleep "."What?!". I uttered confused, and before I realized what was happen
"let it in", I said and ruby opened the windows.The flapping sound got louder making ruby step back in fear, this act of hers made me chuckle."Little Flower". I heard Agatha's voice and bursted into laughter, didn't expect she was this impatient."Didn't expect you to be this impatient". I said trying to stop laughing."Laugh all you want, hurry up I'm bored!". She said and the bird flew out the window. I stood up and entered the bathroom with Ruby behind me. She arranged the bath water while I removed my robe. [sigh], I heard her sigh and turned to her, "spill it"."My lady, I feel bad for The great witch, she is stuck in the northern courtyard for heavens know how long, I'm sure it sucks...", she said and came closer to help me into the bath tub filled with warm water and refreshing lavender. "It useless to feel sorry for her", I may sound cruel but it is actually the truth, and like the curious kitten she is, she asked "My lady, why did you say that?"."No one forced her to st
"What?!!". My head went blank for a minute."Yes my dear, you heard me right... I think...". Agatha tried to explain but I turned to leave immediately, "I shall take my leave now". "Please hear me out". She pleaded and stopped me with her hands on my shoulders, "Believe me just this once little flower.... This time the outcome will be different ". She said and it was starting to get on my nerves.[Calm down Sel, I know you don't want to get your hopes up again but Agatha is just trying to help]. Listening to my wolf I composed myself almost immediately. [I know that lena, I just don't have the energy again]. I replied internally before letting out a convincing smile. "Agatha, it's been 17years already, I have long accepted my faith ...... Just leave it be". I didn't bother to bid goodbye as I just headed for the door, at this point all I want is to leave before she can say another word."I just got here so don't tell me you are leaving!".Upon hearing this voice joy and disbelief
