Semua Bab When The Moon Hides Her Crown: Bab 281 - Bab 290

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW From that day on, Petal returned to the Lycan realm each evening, and Dread waited for her in the same spot, his hand outstretched, as if afraid she might vanish at any moment. He would hold her hand until it was time for her to leave, always reluctantly letting go, but not without her promising to return the next day, never late.They spent every moment together, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. Petal became accustomed to his touch, to the warmth of his presence, to the way they seemed to gravitate toward each other, never parting for long, whether in the hallways, the library, the dining room, or the bedroom. And every night, when she lay beside him on his bed, his hand would gently roam over her back, his gaze never leaving her, as if memorizing every detail of her being. Just like now.Petal’s cheeks flushed as she tried to focus on the book in her hands, but the weight of his attention made it impossible.“Your book is here,” she nudg

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWPetal returned to her territory in a daze. Standing in the forest, she looked toward the temple and then Elysium Haven. Both places had been the foundations of her life, places she could never tear herself away from, much like how she could never tear herself away from Dread. From his love. But his words, spoken earlier about claiming her on her twenty-first birthday, gnawed at her. Only she knew how much she longed to be with him and end this constant cycle of leaving and returning. Yet, his statement about marking her, about never letting her go, unsettled her to her core.Because doing so would expose her identity as Blood Petal. This temple, her protectors, Elysium Haven, everything she had worked so hard to protect could be destroyed. Exposing herself to the world would put everyone in danger. Becomi

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW“I love you too.”Petal and Dread’s lips collided with a desperate hunger, teeth clashing, tongues sliding. He tugged her closer, pressing her body against his, feeling the heat of her skin through their clothes. Her breath quickened as her fingers threading through his hair, pulling him deeper into their kiss until it became wild, consuming them both. His every nip to her lower lip sent a jolt of desire through her veins, stealing air from her lungs. Her mind grew foggy and soon she forgot whose breath she was breathing. When their lips parted, she stood gasping for breath but their eyes never tore from each other. Their foreheads touched as he whispered, “I waited for you.”Petal closed her eyes, defeated by every emotion swirling within her. Their breathing mixed together, their heartbeat mirroring as the moon came out from behind the clouds to shine down on them as Petal finally revealed, “They call me a Goddess.” Dread opened his eyes at her words as

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW  Sitting on his throne, Dread read Petal’s letter again and again rather than listening to his kingdom’s affair.  ‘An urgent issue came up that I  have to take care of. I will be back soon to visit you’  Dread clutched the letter a little harder than he intended as he murmured, “But it has been over a week,” he said to himself, displeasure and irritation of the separation from her bubbling up under his skin.  It had been two months now that they had been mated and he had made up his mind to see her every two days but spending a whole week apart seemed as if the universe was testing his sanity. Next he got up from his throne and left the room

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW Aran stood across from Silas, his hands casually shoved into his pockets. “I’m unbelievably busy. Spill whatever you called me here for.”“How dare you let Petal leave the territory without my knowledge?” Silas’ voice was low but seething with fury.Aran’s gaze remained cool, his posture relaxed. Even though a few days had passed he expected Silas to figure it out, “You act like you could’ve stopped her if you knew. Also, she leaves the territory almost daily because of the Dread Lord. Even though I left the temple, I’m still her protector, and obey her every word like you.” Silas’ expression twisted with frustration. “One of her protectors would never let her leave the territory and walk right towards the King of Dark Magic instead of stopping her!”Aran’s face hardened, “That King of Dark Magic had already made it into the territory. If it were not Petal taking him out with her powers at the time, none of you in the temple would have been hidden and safe
