Semua Bab The Moon God's Bride : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Chapter 2(After a decade) Third POVWillowbrook stirred with the approach of the dreaded day—the offering of a bride to Solas, the forgotten moon god. It had been a decade since the last sacrifice, a decade of uneasy peace under the watchful gaze of the moon. The village had grown, its thatched cottages spreading like the roots of an ancient tree, yet beneath the facade of tranquility lay an undercurrent of fear whenever the moon reached its peak.Somewhere far at the outskirts of the village lived a girl named Elara. Elara, at twenty years old, had known little of family or love in her life. An orphan since childhood, she had grown up under the care of the village, finding solace in the whispers of the wind and the gentle touch of the earth. Her beauty was undeniable—full lips that hinted at a defiance born of hardship, green eyes that glimmered with a mixture of sorrow and determination, and long silver hair that cascaded down her back like strands of moonlight. But it was her spi

Chapter 4Third POVSolas stood at the center of his chamber, his pale blue eyes fixed on the reflection of the moon in the small pond before him. The water’s surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, the moonlight dancing upon it in an eerie, mesmerizing pattern. This pond was his anchor, his connection to the moon and the source of his power. The open ceiling above it allowed the moon’s light to filter down, enhancing his abilities and giving him strength. He traced patterns in the water with his fingers, feeling the potent energy thrumming beneath his skin.Over the past decade, Solas had grown more powerful, his magic evolving in ways he had not anticipated. The ancient runes that once held his power in check had weakened significantly, and the spell that bound him to the cave was beginning to fray. He could feel the change in the air, the subtle shift in the balance of magic. It would not be long before he could break free of this prison and reclaim the world that had been den

Chapter 6Third POVSolas stood in the center of his chamber, the moonlight pouring through the open ceiling above the pond, casting an ethereal glow on the water's surface. His reflection stared back at him, a visage of cold, unyielding power. He had felt Elara's presence the moment she stepped into his cave, her scent—a perfect blend of earthy, flowery, and the sweet essence of the moon—filling the air. It was intoxicating and infuriating all at once.The door to his chamber creaked open, and Solas turned slowly, his pale blue eyes narrowing as he watched her approach. She wore a beautiful wedding dress, its fabric shimmering in the dim light. The dress hugged her hourglass figure, accentuating every curve, while the delicate lace sleeves and bodice added a touch of elegance. Around her neck and wrists, she wore simple yet exquisite jewelry—silver pieces that caught the light and sparkled softly.Elara walked with a grace and determination that Solas found both admirable and irritat

Chapter 8Third POVSolas stood in the shadows of his cavern, his eyes fixed on Elara as she lay on the stone slab. He watched her, studying the way her chest rose and fell with each breath, the way her face softened in sleep. Even in the harsh, cold light of the moon, she was beautiful. And that beauty infuriated him.Every time he tried to approach her, he felt a strange, unsettling mixture of anger and curiosity. She has defied him with a calmness he had never encountered before. Most of the others had begged, pleaded, and broken under his torment in mere minutes. But Elara... she was different. She didn't just endure his powerful pressence head on; she stood firm, her spirit unbroken.As he approached her with the evening's rations, his frustration bubbled to the surface. He set the tray down beside her, watching as she sat up and accepted the food with a nod, her hands steady. His eyes narrowed as she began to eat, each bite a small act of defiance.“You still think you can defy m

Chapter 10Third POVHelios returned to his grand chamber, his thoughts swirling like a storm. The news of Solas’s latest bride had reached him through the whispers of the celestial winds, and for the first time in decades, Helios felt a flicker of hope. This sacrifice could finally push Solas to the edge, force him to embrace the darkness fully, and fulfill the punishment Helios had intended when he cast his son into the cavern.The plan had always been simple: let Solas rot in his dark prison, his power festering until it consumed him. Every bride sent to him was a reminder of the world he could no longer touch, a cruel jest to push him deeper into despair. Helios had thought that the endless procession of sacrificial brides would drive Solas to madness, to the point where he would either destroy himself or become a hollow shell, completely severed from the light.But this time, something was different. Solas hadn’t killed the new bride. Days had passed, and still, the girl lived.H
