When the Moon Bleeds Red Episode 12: Exploring his world
Seraphine followed the maid in silence, her steps echoing across the polished stone floors. The manor was a strange blend of beauty and foreboding—crystal chandeliers above paintings that stared back at her, velvet curtains drawn tight over windows that faced the cliffs. "You mustn't be frightened, my lady," the maid said softly. "The Duke… he is not unkind. Just rarely understood." Seraphine gave a faint smile. "He isn't what I expected." The maid's eyes twinkled. "No one ever expects him to choose anyone. Least of all someone like… well…" Seraphine's smile faded slightly. "Someone like me." The maid looked apologetic but didn't argue. At last, they reached a tall set of doors carved with the symbol of the moon and flame. The maid opened them to reveal a spacious chamber bathed in soft blue and silver light. A four-poster bed draped in pale silk, a fireplace already lit, and a wardrobe carved with forest creatures awaited her. A balcony overlooked the mist-draped cliffs a
When the Moon Bleeds Red Episode 3: The journey
Seraphine stood near the stable courtyard, the sun rising faintly behind her. Her bag was small—too small for what was ahead. She had not yet spoken with Carlos. She feared what her departure might mean for them. Alaric approached her, his cloak billowing behind him. "You are ready?" She looked down at her worn shoes. "As ready as I can be." "You won't return here," he said. "Not as the girl you were." "I'm not sure who I am anymore," she whispered. "Then we'll find out together." Just as they turned to leave, a figure appeared from the orchard path—Carlos, breathless, eyes wide. "Seraphine!" he called. "You're leaving? Now?" She turned quickly. "Carlos—I'm sorry. I didn't know it would be so soon." He reached her and grasped her hands. "Is this really what you want?" "I… I don't know I dont have a choice." Carlos's gaze darted to Alaric. "And you trust him?" "Im sorry," she said. Carlos's jaw clenched, but he nodded. "Then go. But if he hurts you…" "I won'
When the Moon Bleeds Red Episode 10: Wines and whispers
The clink of silver and the soft rustle of silk filled the grand dining hall of the Delacroix estate. The long banquet table gleamed under its opulent feast—roasted pheasant, candied apples, honey-glazed carrots, cheeses wrapped in fig leaves, and goblets filled with spiced red wine. Yet none of it could distract from the woman seated at the Duke's right hand. Seraphine sat stiffly, back straight, hands resting gently in her lap. The soft gold gown she now wore—borrowed hastily from Celestine's old wardrobe—clung to her like borrowed skin. Her hair had been loosely pinned by Nana Elspeth's trembling fingers, but no amount of grooming could prepare her for the icy glares burning into her from across the table. Celestine's smile was the most brittle of all. Lady Jane, seated beside her favored daughter, wore a mask of strained politeness. Her fingers clutched her wine goblet tighter with each passing moment. Beside her, Lord Delacroix sat mute, his eyes flicking between his wi
When the Moon Bleeds Red Chapter 9: Dreams or Hidden Memories
Seraphine gasped as she bolted upright.Her chest heaved, her skin damp with sweat despite the early morning chill. The small, dim room of the servants’ quarters came into focus, grounding her back into reality.Reality.Not glass towers.Not moonlit forests.Not… him.She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to steady her racing heart.“Elara…” she whispered unconsciously.The name lingered on her lips, unfamiliar yet intimate.“Just a dream,” she murmured, though the words felt like a lie.Dreams didn’t feel like that.Dreams didn’t leave behind emotions that clung so tightly they hurt.A sharp knock on the door jolted her.“Seraphine! Are you awake or dead?” a maid’s voice called impatiently. “Lady Jane will have your head if you’re late again!”Seraphine blinked, the remnants of the dream fading like mist under sunlight.“I’m awake!” she replied quickly, forcing herself out of bed.There was no time to dwell on strange dreams.Not today.Especially not today.-------The grand hall
When the Moon Bleeds Red Chapter 8: The Night the Moon Stopped Singing
FLASHBACK: The throne room burned.Pillars crumbled in flames kissed by shadow. Cracks webbed through the marble floors where blood pooled like ink, and the royal banners—embroidered with twin phoenixes—lay torn and trampled beneath shattered glass.Alaric stood in the center, breath ragged, sword wet with the blood of his own kin.Behind him, the obsidian gate—once sealed with thirteen spells—gaped open, its runes pulsing like a heartbeat. The magic was alive. Hungry.“You opened it,” Elara’s voice echoed, breaking through the chaos.He turned.And she stood there like a vision from a dying world—white gown stained red, crown missing, hands glowing with unearthly power.“I had no choice,” Alaric said, stepping toward her. “The Council would have done it anyway. I thought I could control it.”“You thought you could tame a god?”“Elara—”“Don’t.” Her voice cracked like thunder. “You made me swear we’d protect the seal. That we’d never let them raise what sleeps beneath.”“I did it for
When the Moon Bleeds Red Chapter 7: When Stars Still Remembered Us
FLASHBACK: The moonlight spilled like liquid silver over the obsidian balcony, and below, the kingdom pulsed with life—fires glowing, voices rising in celebration. The air was perfumed with night-blooming roses and distant myrrh, a scent Elara always said reminded her of home.Alaric stood at the edge of the marble balustrade, a goblet of red wine untouched in his hand. His crown, forged from black starlight and dragonbone, rested heavy on his brow, yet his shoulders bore the weight of something far greater.Behind him, the doors to the royal chamber opened with a hush.“I know that look,” Elara said softly, her silk gown whispering against the floor. “You wear it when peace feels too quiet.”He didn’t turn.“Peace has never lasted in this land,” he murmured. “Not for men like me.”“Then perhaps it’s time you stop seeing yourself as just a man.”That made him turn. Her golden eyes, radiant with the fire of a thousand suns, met his shadowed gaze. She was cloaked in deep emerald, the c
