All Chapters of Lunaborn at Moonridge Academy : Chapter 81 - Chapter 88

Ashes and Oaths, Part IMalik’s POV“Issh” I breathed out.. it was another day of convincing these old men why peace was the best option and as usual it was draining.The council chamber smelled of incense and foolish arrogance while I stood tall in the center, my voice echoing against the marble walls that were beautifully carved with the crests of the Founding Houses. They sat above me on their raised thrones.. and Thorne at Nightborne’s right hand, the only face I trusted here.“You all claim to want strength,” I said, as I spread my arms as though I wanted to fly. “But honestly strength is not slaughter, strength is not fear..Strength is the wisdom to choose peace when the world begs for war.”Snorts and scoffs filled the air. Bloodfang’s elder leaned forward, his beard streaked with silver. “Peace? With prey? Honestly Malik, don’t you think your dream is a little too over fantasized.. I mean it’s nice to dream but..” His lip curled, baring sharp fangs. “You really want to dine

The Shadow of Grazilo. Veronica’s POVI watched as Seraphina squirmed and held back her tears.. it must have been traumatic hurting her man.. well technically he wasn’t hers.“Did you know the realm had five houses, not three?”The words left my lips like smoke curling in the air, deliberate, sharp, and undeniable.Seraphina’s head jerked up, her eyes wide and glassy in the dim dorm room. She looked like a child caught sneaking into a graveyard, as her pale knuckles clutched her skirt.“F..five?” she whispered. “That’s not true. There are only three Bloodfang, Moonveil, Ashpaw..”“And Nightborne,” I cut in smoothly, leaning forward so the light painted half my face in shadow. “But then there’s also Silverfang, my little pup”Her throat bobbed. “That’s impossible Silverfang is… a myth. A bedtime story told to scare pups and nightborne no longer exists .”“No.” My voice was velvet over steel. “Silverfang was never a myth.. it was my blood, my birthright, my ruin. And they buried it ben

The Lake Between UsLily’s POVThe air hit my face as I stepped out of the building. The academy grounds were quiet to the point my footsteps echoed faintly across the cobblestones, the last rays of sunset casting long shadows between the trees.“Everyone is probably getting ready for the ball” I whispered to myself.A black car pulled up by the front gate, and for a fleeting second, I caught sight of a woman stepping out. She wore dark shades, her hair tied neatly back, her movements too poised, too deliberate..but I brushed it off. I had bigger things on my mind.I turned toward the dorms, as exhaustion and anger weighed on my shoulders. Every step felt heavier than the last. My thoughts.. Veronica, the notes, and the feeling of being watched blurred together into a mess I couldn’t untangle. I just wanted to reach my room, close the door, and sleep.But when I did, I froze.There was a small brown parcel sitting right by my door. My name was scrawled across it in red ink.Lily.

Shadows of the Past Thorne’s POVHer heels echoed through the marble hall before I even saw her.Sharp, precise, and unhurried.. like a metronome ticking down the seconds to chaos.Tara.The moment she stepped into my office, every ounce of air seemed to vanish. Her scent hit first.. Daises and marshmallow’s.. the same scent that had clung to my hands the night the Nightborne villa burned to ashes. I had buried that memory under ten thousand others, but seeing her now, standing in the doorway with her hair braided and her eyes carrying years of silence, was like watching a ghost peel itself out of the past.Malik froze beside me. His face went pale, disbelief painting his every feature.“Tara,” he whispered, his voice cracking. “You.. you're here.. you’re alive?”She smiled, as if resurrection were a small inconvenience. “You sound disappointed.”I stayed quiet, while my fingers curled around the edge of my desk. Part of me wanted to speak, another part was still trapped all those y
