All Chapters of Bloodbound: The legacy of Serelai : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The night was too quiet, that kind of silence that presses against your ears and makes your heartbeat sound too loud.The town of Eldara had fallen into an unnatural hush. Shadows danced like hungry ghosts, whispering long-forgotten secrets that make your skin crawl.Above the small, forgotten town of Eldara, the night sky burned red. It hadn’t shone like this for over a century. The elders called it the “Blood Moon Requiem”, but to most, it was just another eerie sky. The majority of the young folks had stopped believing in legends.However, to Liora, it felt like the world was watching her.Liora’s beauty was stunning. Her gray eyes held mysteries and intensity, and she moved with a quiet power, as if a goddess herself had shaped her.Liora stood at the edge of her grandmother's attic, holding tightly to the leather-bound journal she had taken from beneath the floorboards. Its cover felt warm despite the dusty cold. The moment she opened it, the pages started to glow, just enough to

The howls were closing in.Ash’s grip tightened around Liora’s wrist, his voice low and urgent. “Move. We need to go. Now.”She barely had time to breathe before he pulled her toward a dark archway at the far end of the room.Her legs felt shaky, but his pace was merciless; he wasn't slowing down. Behind them, something heavy slammed against the door; they'd just come through something with claws.The hallway they entered was narrow and damp, lit by those same blue flames. Its walls were slick with condensation. Ash was moving fast but not recklessly, checking over his shoulder every few steps to make sure she was keeping up, as if reassuring himself she was still there.The sound came again: the deep, bone-rattling growl of a wolf, too big to be natural. Now there was something else too, the scraping of metal on stone.“They’re not just wolves, are they?” Liora asked, breathing heavily.“No,” Ash said grimly. “Kael doesn’t travel with anything simple.”They reached a curve in the cor

A cold voice cut through the darkness like a serpent, icy and trailing poison: “Found you.”Ash’s hand tightened on her waist as he pressed her closer, his golden eyes scanning the shadows with a sharp intensity. Liora barely dared to breathe, not daring to move or make a sound, her heart pounding in her chest like a wild drum. Every muscle in her body tensed, ready for whatever might come next.From deep within the ancient, crumbling hall, a dark figure stepped out: tall, graceful, and ancient as if carved from the very shadows themselves. Their eyes gleamed like broken sharp glass that was fractured and cold. They weren't quite human, weren't quite animals either; something about them felt dangerous.“The air around them seemed to shift heavier, charged with unspeakable power and dark intent.“You brought the fire into our den,” the leader said, his voice rough and threatening, rumbling through the silent chamber like distant thunder. “You just mark the end and the beginning, hence,

The air in the narrow passage was cold and damp. Ash and Liora had just stepped through a door, and for a moment, everything was silent and still.Their boots scraped against old stone floors wet with moisture. The only light came from glowing purple symbols on the walls that seemed to beat in time with Liora’s heart. She held onto Ash’s hand tightly as the magical marks burned on her wrist, a constant dizzying reminder of the old, powerful magic she'd awakened.A cold wind blew through the tunnel, carrying the sound of distant wolf howls. But these low howls were strange, and they had a rhythm that sounded almost like words. “A WARNING.”Ash stayed alert, his golden eyes scanning every corner. “Stay close to me,” he said. “This place is different. It is not like a maze.”Liora nodded, eyes skimming every shadow, while gripping her grandmother’s journal. She could feel something moving, though she couldn’t tell if it was behind the walls or deep inside her blood.A sudden echo made he

Liora’s head was pounding, pain ringing in her ears as she tried to breathe through darkness and chaos. Her hands were scraped, her head hurt, and the stone ritual altar was gone. Now she was lying on the cold, hard ground, tangled in roots and frost.Kael knelt beside her, his face pale in the strange moonlight, his birthmark still glowing faintly.“How bad is it?” Kael whispered, gently brushing snow from her cheek. His hand stayed there, warmer and kinder than she was used to.“I'm okay, but Ash… he's gone," Liora said, trying to sit up. Sadness and anger hit her all at once. “He never got to tell me what was in his heart.”Kael squeezed her hand. “We’ll get him back. I promise.”The forest around them felt tense, like a hundred hidden eyes were watching. The wolves had disappeared, but something more dangerous was out there in the shadows, waiting.Liora's marks felt warm, and the journal hummed under her hand, like a signal or comfort. She held Kael's hand tighter, finding streng
