All Chapters of Moonlight Knows My Name : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Eve’s POV The interpretation to her proverb came by dawn. One of the guards found it placed by the path to the outer gate, a big black gift box, decorated with a black ribbon tied into a bow. “To Eve.” I read the tag carrying a wolf’s fang and a crescent moonI opened the box to find a single note; “If you ever want to see your son again, leave Blackthorn before the rise of the moon. Cross the border, do not return, do not look back and most importantly, do not try to find me or send anyone after me, I’ll reach out to you about the whereabouts of your son when I’m satisfied. Also, if I sense your scent anywhere around the woods for any reason, the boy dies. If I were you? I would choose wisely. You only get one chance, Eve.”My hands shook as I read and re-read the note hoping it was all just in my head. Malik stood behind me silent, his jaw all locked in anger, I could see the muscle pulse at his temple.“In a battle, when an enemy senses defeat they begin to haunt for anythin

We waited by the road until Malik finished a call. Suddenly a black SUV pulled up in front of us,“Shall we?” He gave a small smile, opening the door for me He didn’t say a word as we sat, he had his jaw locked and his eyes locked on something I couldn’t see. Sometimes, I worried for him, there was so much he didn’t day, so much he didn’t want anyone to see, I wanted to help, I wanted him to see he had me though but I just stayed quiet instead. I turned to the window watching as neon lights blurred through the window as the car sped away from them, every sound I heard felt like a knock from every life I had ever left behind. The car pulled to a stop in front of a red-brick building with broken shutters clinging to the windows. “Is this her place?” I asked quietly “Um…yeah.” He glanced around before releasing a long breath. “Listen, do not speak unless I tell you too okay.” Okay now that was rude! I didn’t even speak much “Whatever.” I rolled my eyes. He shook his head, laughin

Eve’s POV The house stood as beautiful as ever, but unlike the first time I was here I didn’t know what to expect. The walls looked heavy with memories. I stopped at the gate, counting to steady my breath…“Let’s go.” Malik said with a reassuring smile. “He’s inside, I can feel it.” “Really?” My voice trembled. I pushed the door open, the air smelled dust.Then I heard a tiny sounds, Soft footsteps slapping on the floor My heart skipped“Danny?” I whispered, walking further into the house There he was standing on the couch, holding one of his little toy cars, his grin widened when he heard my voice. “Mama?” I fell to my knees as he ran into my arms. I felt his warmth, his heartbeat, everything. He was really here. “I’m here now baby.” I sobbed, hugging him so tightly. “Mummy’s here. I’ve got you now.”Malik cleared his throat, muttering something I didn’t quite hear. “ Did she hurt you?” “No mama…she said I had to wait, you’d come for me.” Of course. Always trying to prove

Eve’s POVI couldn’t sleep that night. Malik’s revelation had burned itself into my mind all night. Morwenna? a wolf, not just that but a healer as well, A smoke that had curved her way through both worlds.I didn't trust her… I never did, but I was grateful…deeply thankful, it scares me though that all this time she had some connection to Astrid. I mentally started a bet with myself that I won't stare at the window in the moments that require me to think and act. I would clear my head in a different way. “Your enemies should never see you as predictable.” I muttered to myself before I burst out laughing. I was grateful for moments like this, moments where I realize life had not completely stripped me off my own skin, if I still had my humour despite all this, “then there was hope that I would win and find fulfillment in my quest.” The door creaked open. “Still awake?” Malik’s voice came from behind me,disconnecting me instantly from my thoughts.“I guess…” I replied without turnin

Eve’s POVMy heart skipped a bit as she turned towards us, despite wanting this information so bad, it still felt like I was just digging my own grave, I tried to steady my heart by focusing on the sound of the clock, it was stupid but I also tried matching my heart beat with that of the clock, but it did little to nothing for me. Morwenna traced invisible lines on the glass as though her memories were just sketches in her mind.“Astrid helped me once,” she began in a low voice, “it was out of kindness anyway.” She let out a dry laugh. “ It was the last thing she did for me, you know. Magic to hide my face, an illusion strong enough to fool any seer at all, it’s infact the only reason I’m still alive, today.” I and Malik exchanged a quick glance, but we stayed silent, for me I was trying to not make as much as a sound, I mean she hated my guts and was extremely capable of walking out without narrating the story in full. Her eyes caught the light and for a second I thought I saw some
