Semua Bab THE FORSAKEN LUNA; Moonfire Reborn: Bab 91 - Bab 100

“Yes. I realize that's a lot to process. It was hard for me to believe you. Therefore, if you tell people I know, they will believe you,” Bethar said, his tone firm but calm, his eyes fixed on her face. For a moment Selene's expression was unreadable as she examined him. Then she nodded briefly. “Fine,” She said in a quiet but determined voice. “ I won't reveal our little secret.”“All right.” A gentle smile appeared on Bethar's face. “I’ll be heading out. My wife will be pleased to see me. I also have to bring my daughter with me.”When he mentioned his family, Selene saw the warmth light up his eyes. There was an unwavering sincerity in his happiness that touched her heart. People shifted around grinning and muttering words of relief. Seeing her made them happy. Something inside her reminded her that they were here to see Ravena….not her.Stepping closer, Bethar cut through the haze of her mind and drew her into a tight embrace. He gave me a grounding warm hug. She gave herself

The moment she got into Ravena's room, she shut the door. She leaned against the door, sighing deeply.She was like a fugitive entering a new place, as her eyes darted around warily, looking at every corner. She exhaled. Placing a hand over her chest. Which drummed in a ferocious beat. “That was quite close.”Ethan's questions unnerved her, placing her in great discomfort. Just one incorrect response or slip-up would have exposed her.He seemed suspicious already. She saw it in his eyes: the piercing twinkle of doubts, the way he squinted for a moment too long. Her flimsy lie about alcohol didn't convince him. Ravena was known to enjoy brandy as for her, the smell alone was enough to make her throw up.Phew. She pushed past the door and walked into the room. “I must exercise great caution,” she whispered to herself. If she doesn't exercise caution, this whole plan will fall apart before it's even started. Her secret will be out in the open.”She wiped her sweaty brow with the back

The sun peeked through the sky, and the rays bathed Ridgewood in a golden glow.Merchants yelled prices, and horses clip-clopped over the stone walkway. Estelle rode quickly through it all, hardly glancing at the interested onlookers. Her horse abruptly stopped in front of the imposing stone manor which had tall glistening windows and a slender frame that cast a stark shadow over the courtyard. Estelle got off the horse without thinking. After the ride, her chestnut hair became loose and fluttered behind her like a banner in the wind. A young servant came running forward and took the reins from her while bowing low. “Greetings, my lady,” he respectfully said. Estelle ignored him. Her cold gaze ran through him with disdain and indifference. Like he was a piece of dirt.She straightened her back and walked with poise to the huge doors of the manor. Which was thrown open for her to walk in.The maids acknowledged her with a slight bow of their heads, but she glared at them instead. W

Daemon put a soft hand on Ethan’s shoulder. “I have to leave now,” he stated in a quiet yet firm voice. Ethan gave him a glance and nodded. He was aware that Daemon had important tasks to complete.In the lengthy hallway of the pack house, Daemon's footsteps made soft noises as he turned and left. As he got farther away the sound of his footsteps grew weaker. Ethan watched until he disappeared from view.Following a short while, Ethan turned again and left the pack house. He moved swiftly leaving the building behind as his steps carried him farther and farther until he was entirely outside.***The elders' cheerful chatter filled the large hall which was typically a noisy place. All that changed the instant Selene entered the room with Bethar at her side.All of the joyful conversation ceased. The elders fell into utter silence after just a few moments of loud conversation. The moment she walked in, the room was swept in silence. Her gown flowed around her feet as she moved, it re

Panic started to twist and tighten in her stomach making her feel nauseous. She had quick disorganized thoughts about what she could and should do. Her blood ran cold with fear at the thought of not finding the jewelry and of failing the ritual.Still sitting on the huge bed, she covered her face with her palm. After a few moments, she dropped her hands and exhaled deeply.Then she sprang up from the bed.Her jerky movements were a result of her mounting fear. Selene began to pace back and forth. Her thoughts were scattered in different directions.She stopped pacing and her eyes scanned the spacious room. “What do I have to do? She muttered in dread.With a heavy heart, she moved towards the bathroom.Who knows she might be lucky? Maybe a piece of jewelry was stashed somewhere in the bathroom.It sounded odd but she was willing to explore and check it outShe pushed open the bathroom door and practically ran across the cluttered room. Normally a tidy and peaceful place, the bathroo
