Dark’s POV

Sal entered the water with me. At first, he was reluctant, staring at me like something forbidden.

“Aren’t you going to take your bath too?”

“No, I won’t. I’ll just wait till I return to my room. I’m okay this way.” He forced a smile, one I could clearly see didn’t reach his eyes.

A few hours later, after eating the little fruit Sal had plucked from the trees around, and then the meat he had caught and we roasted—

He was very good at hunting. I’ll give him that.

Night came. He sat a few meters away from me, just staring into the sky.

“You didn’t ask what made me go rogue a day ago,” I muttered.

“It’s not in my position to ask questions. I am merely your assistant and nothing more.”

I scoffed at his reply. He was obviously being sarcastic right now. “Even your words sound like you’re pushing yourself not to ask. Your left arm—was I the one?”

He covered the arm with his palm, looking downward.

“I hope it leaves a mark, for you to always remember never to step closer next time

  • The chosen luna   Chapter 80

    Chapter 80Author’s POVKillian stood face to face with Beta Night Fury, fury burning in his eyes. Nearby, Dark fought fiercely against Lilliana and the soldiers from Silbercrest. “You betrayed me… for a woman,” Killian growled, his entire body trembling with rage. His claws extended, and in one swift leap, he lunged at Night Fury with a snarl, aiming to slash his throat.Night Fury twisted at the last second, narrowly dodging the attack. The two shifted fully into their wolf forms, circling each other with their teeth bared and ears pinned back, growling.“You've always been foolish, Killian,” Night Fury spat. “You murdered your own father. And you think you're worthy of the Alpha title?”With a sudden burst of speed, Night Fury lunged forward and raked his claws across Killian’s side. Killian was knocked to the ground with a painful yelp, but he didn’t stay down long. He forced himself back up, blood dripping down his flank.“My father was a biased man,” Killian growled, pacing. “I

    Chapter 79SILVER CREST PACKAuthor’s POV“The hostage has been brought, my Alpha.”Alpha Amarah sat elegantly, one leg crossed over the other as a maid meticulously filed her nails. She gave a small nod. “Take me to him.”The guard bowed and led her to a frigid underground cell. On the floor, bruised and bound, lay Alpha Raymond. At the sight of her, he lunged forward with a snarl, clawing the air between them, his teeth bared in rage.Amarah didn’t flinch.She watched him, her expression cold as she circled him slowly.“We lost the Bottle of Life because of you,” she said. “When Selene threatened to throw it, you could have stopped her. You should’ve given her what she wanted, then seized it later. But no—” she clicked her tongue in disappointment, “You chose to hide it from the council. What was your aim, Raymond?”Raymond's breathing was ragged, his eyes burning with fury.“You know better than anyone that Valmort is only using us,” he hissed. “He wants the bottle for himself, to

  • The chosen luna   Chapter 78

    Chapter 78Author’s POVLilliana pushed open the door to Killian’s room, pausing in the doorway with a soft smile curling at her lips. Her gaze stayed on Killian for a while. Then she stepped inside, her hips swaying side by side.“Miss me?” she murmured as she reached him, her arms snaking around his neck.Killian stared at her. The strong scent of her perfume almost blocking his nostrils, he wanted to push her off, but he didn't. He managed a smile, and gently removed her arms away from his neck.“Let’s have some fun. I know you love it,” she cooed, her hands sliding over his chest, her eyes brimming with false affection.Killian turned his face away. “I’m not feeling too well,” he said, his tone low.Lilliana’s expression shifted instantly, her expression changed with concern written all over her face, so convincing it unnerved him. Killian couldn’t tell if it was real or just another performance in her endless act.“Oh my, Killian. Why didn’t you say something?” she gasped, her ha

  • The chosen luna   Chapter 77

    Dark’s POV“That doesn’t mean I’ll take advantage of her love.”Havana stood across from me, her arms folded beneath her chest.“I care for her, Havana,” I continued, “More than I thought I ever could. If it means never breaking this curse… I’ll live with it. I’d rather be cursed beside her than free without her.”Havana’s gaze softened slightly, but she said nothing. ******Morning came, everything seemed normal.I walked out of my room and made my way to check on Silas. Dara was awake, seated beside him, gently patting a cloth to his forehead. Silas still hadn’t opened his eyes fully, but his chest rose and fell with calm breaths.“How is he?” I asked.Dara looked up. “A bit better.”I nodded. “Have you seen Selene?”She blinked. “No… she hasn’t come to check on him.”My brows furrowed. “Are you sure?”“I’ve been here all night.”I turned and walked out.I found Havana in her room, packing her clothes needed for laundry.“Where’s Selene?” I asked.She looked up. “I haven’t seen her

    CHAPTER 76Selene’s POVThe stars felt closer up here.I sat beside him, my knees bent and my hands folded between them. The wind brushed through his hair, and his eyes brightened even in the dark.“You said something about your mother…” I asked gently.He was quiet for a while.Then he said in a low tone, “She died the day I was born.”I turned to him.“She wasn’t supposed to,” he added, staring at the sky. “I wasn’t supposed to live either.”“What do you mean?”“She went to a strange woman. She said I wouldn’t survive the birth. My body wasn’t strong enough. So my mother made a choice to save me no matter the consequences as long as I live. But she died while giving birth to me.”I swallowed, a soft ache forming in my chest.“And… that’s how you got your curse?” I asked.He nodded once. “It was the price.”He looked down at his hands. “To survive, I had to be bound to it. The curse wasn’t just given to me, it became a part of me. It was the only way for me to live.”I didn’t know w

  • The chosen luna   Chapter 75

    Selene’s POV I woke to the soft sound of birds and the golden glow of evening light slipping through the windows. My eyes fluttered open, and the memory hit me hard. I blinked rapidly. I was still naked beneath the sheets and then it all flooded back. His hands, his lips, the warmth of his skin pressed against mine. The way he whispered my name like it was something he never wanted to forget. It was peaceful and slow unlike what I expected, rough and full of sin. But this…. This was calm. “Oh Moon goddess,” I whispered, pressing a hand over my mouth, my face burning. The door creaked open. “You’re awake.” I turned quickly. Dark stood at the doorway, his shirt slightly unbuttoned, a small but rare smile curving his lips. In his hand, a cup steamed faintly. He walked toward me. I tugged the sheet tighter around my chest, my heart pounding for no reason other than the way he was looking at me. He handed me the cup. “Tea. It’s still warm.” I took it with both hands, gratef
