Akira’s POV

The storm hadn’t let up since Kaidën got worse. It howled through the palace, rattling the old windows and echoing whispers I didn’t want to hear. Every lightning flash lit the room for a split second, and every thunderclap felt like a ticking clock.

I was sitting by his bed, my hands clasped so tightly that my knuckles were on fire. Kaidën’s breaths were shallow—too shallow. The healers had left long ago, their faces drawn, hope seemingly gone. Only Lyrein remained, standing like a statue at the door, visibly consumed by his grief.

Hours had passed without a word from either of us.

The air was thick with the scent of herbs and old magic, almost suffocating. I dipped a cloth into a bowl of cold water, wrung it out, and pressed it to Kaidën’s forehead. His skin was burning under my touch, feverish and fragile.

“Don’t you dare leave,” I whispered, my voice shaky. “Not like this. Not when everything’s still unfinished.”

He didn’t respond.

A heavy ache settled in my ch

  • Torn Between Two Moons   Fire in Her Veins (chapter 91)

    (Akira’s POV) The palace buzzed with energy—the clang of steel, the scent of sharpened iron mixed with damp stone. I slipped through the chaos like a shadow, each step pulling me away from the fragile peace of recovery and closer to the war I knew was coming. The bond throbbed softly under my skin, Kaidën’s heartbeat echoing just beneath mine. No matter how far I roamed, I could feel him—his rage, his focus, his fear. It was both comforting and infuriating. I wasn’t his to guard anymore. The armor they provided was light—black leather with silver trim, tailored to my body. When I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, I hardly recognized the woman looking back. The frail girl who once bowed her head around Kaidën was gone. In her place stood someone tougher, colder—someone who had faced death and was no longer afraid of it. “Still as stubborn as ever, I see.” Lyrein’s voice jolted me from my thoughts. He lounged casually in the doorway, one hand resting on his sword’s h

  • Torn Between Two Moons   Bound by Blood (chapter 90)

    (Kaidën’s POV) The storm outside just wouldn’t let up. It slammed against the fortress walls, almost mirroring the chaos inside me. Every crack of thunder brought Akira’s pale, shaken face to mind — her eyes filled with questions I didn’t know how to answer. She was awake. She was alive. And because of me… she was bound. I stood by the window, gripping the cold stone sill so tightly my knuckles were turning white. A faint blue glow from our bond pulsed under my wrist, matching hers perfectly — a constant reminder of the line I’d crossed. Behind me, I could hear her shifting — the rustle of sheets and the quiet creak of the mattress. She was still weak, trying to hide it as usual. That was Akira for you. Always fighting, even when her body was telling her to rest. “You haven’t said a word,” she said softly, her voice still raspy. “What do you want me to say?” I replied, still facing away from her. “That you regret it. That you never meant to tie my life to yours.” I closed my

  • Torn Between Two Moons   Storms of the Heart (chapter 89)

    (Akira’s POV) I slowly felt the world come back to me — like bits of a dream that just wouldn’t fade away. The first sensation was warmth. Not the soothing kind that leads to comfort, but a gentle burn beneath my skin, pulsing along with a heartbeat that felt a bit foreign. When I finally managed to open my eyes, I found the room dim, with morning light streaming softly through the half-drawn curtains. The air was tinged with a hint of herbs and metal. And there he was — sitting at my side, half-asleep, shoulders drooping, still holding my hand. Kaidën. For a moment, I couldn’t look away. He looked different while he was asleep — softer, almost more human. The sharp features of the Lycan King seemed dulled by fatigue, his lashes casting shadows on his cheekbones. His thumb moved gently against my hand, as if he was clinging to me even in his dreams. Yet, when I shifted, a sharp pain shot through my chest — bright and piercing. I gasped. Instantly, he was alert, his blue eyes sn

  • Torn Between Two Moons   A Bond Tested by Fire (chapter 88)

    (Nikolai’s POV) When I woke up, the world felt different. The air was thick—not just with the scent of rain and medicine, but with her presence. Akira. I could feel her heartbeat faintly echoing in my chest, steady and alive. For a moment, I was terrified it was my own—then I realized I was aware of both hers and mine. Separate, yet intertwined. I turned my head to see her asleep, her hand still gripping mine like it was a lifeline. Some strands of dark hair fell across her face, and she breathed with her lips slightly parted. It struck me with an odd ache—one that had nothing to do with pain or magic. I should’ve felt relieved that she was okay, that the curse was lifted, that my reckless choice didn’t lead to her destruction. But all I could focus on was how close I had come to losing her. Lyrein entered quietly, holding a bowl of herbs and an old leather book. "You’re awake," he said, but his tone was cautious more than warm. "For now," I mumbled, sitting up slowly. Every m

  • Torn Between Two Moons   The Awakening of the Bound (chapter 87)

    (Akira’s POV) All I could sense was darkness, as if it had wrapped around me for an eternity. No pain. No sound. Just this endless, weightless void where time seemed irrelevant. Then came the warmth. It began as a flicker, similar to a candle's flame struggling against the wind. That warmth pulsed softly through my chest, gradually spreading to my fingertips. With it, I heard the gentle sound of rain — soft, steady, and full of life. My body felt heavy, like I was trudging through wet sand, but I pushed myself to open my eyes. The first thing that came into view was him. Nikolai. His head was resting on the edge of my bed, eyes closed, his hand still clasped around mine. His skin looked pale and his breathing was shallow, but he was there. Alive. A shiver ran through me as fragmented memories rushed back — Kaidën gasping for air, the curse wrapping around him like swirling black smoke, Nikolai slicing open his hand, his blood mixing with mine, and the unbearable fire that fol

  • Torn Between Two Moons    The Price of a Bond (chapter 86)

    (Nikolai’s POV) The rain outside hadn’t let up since I returned. It hammered against the windows, as if the heavens were furious — and maybe they were. Perhaps they were aware of what I was about to do. Akira stood there, illuminated by the flickering lamplight, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. Kaidën was sprawled between us, his breaths shallow, his face so pale it could’ve been carved from marble. With every passing second, his pulse weakened, the curse draining him like a famished predator. I could sense it too — the same darkness crawling just below her skin. The connection. The magic that intertwined their fates. When I first heard about the curse, I thought it was just a lie. A desperate excuse from an old priest who owed me. But the deeper I investigated, the more it became clear — Kaidën’s soul was tethered to hers. His demise would pull her down with him. “Tell me how to break it,” Akira insisted, her voice low but fierce. Her defiance would’ve made me proud if I
