All Chapters of Bound By Two Moons: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The journey from the sanctuary was silent.Aurora walked between Lucien and Kael, the Blade of Selene secured against her back and the Moonstone glowing faintly beneath her clothes.For the first time since her awakening, she wasn’t running from the supernatural world.She was walking directly into it.But there was one problem.She still didn’t know which kingdom she was walking into first.“Where are we going?” Aurora asked.Lucien glanced at Kael.“Ravenfall.”Kael scoffed.“Of course you’d say that.”Aurora stopped.“Wait.”Both men turned.“You said we were going to both kingdoms.”“We are,” Kael said.“Then why Ravenfall first?”Lucien answered calmly.“Because your enemies already know about the sanctuary.”Kael nodded reluctantly.“And my territory has been compromised.”Aurora’s eyes widened.“So neither place is safe.”“Not anymore,” Lucien said.A cold breeze moved through the trees.Aurora looked around.The forest seemed strangely quiet.Too quiet.Then Kael suddenly stop

Lucien didn’t move.For six hundred years, he had believed his brother was dead.He had watched Adrian’s coffin burn beneath the ancient vampire rites. He had mourned him. He had carried the guilt of his brother’s death for centuries.And now…Adrian stood before him.Alive.“Adrian,” Lucien whispered.His brother smiled.“I wondered if you would remember me.”Kael stepped in front of Aurora.“Stay behind us.”Adrian laughed softly.“The great Alpha King.”His eyes moved over Kael.“Still protecting what doesn’t belong to you.”Kael’s golden eyes flashed.“Careful.”Adrian’s smile disappeared.“You have no idea what you’ve stepped into.”Aurora stepped forward.“Why did you attack the council?”Adrian looked at her.For the first time, his expression changed.Curiosity.“So you’re Aurora.”She tightened her grip on the Blade of Selene.“You know my name.”“I know much more than your name.”Adrian descended the stairs slowly.“You are the reason I’ve returned.”Aurora frowned.“Why?”“

Ravenfall erupted into chaos.The castle gates exploded inward as wolves charged through the courtyard.Vampires poured from the towers, their crimson eyes glowing beneath the blood-red moon.And behind them came the Royal Hunters, armed with silver blades and enchanted arrows.Aurora stood at the center of it all.For one terrifying moment, she couldn’t move.There were too many.Too much noise.Too much blood.Then Kael grabbed her hand.“Stay with me.”Lucien appeared on her other side.“And stay between us.”Aurora looked at them.“I’m not hiding.”Kael gave her a small smile.“I know.”Lucien drew his sword.“Then fight beside us.”A howl shook the battlefield.Kael transformed.His enormous black wolf form charged into the crowd, knocking hunters aside as he tore through the battlefield.Lucien moved like a shadow.One moment he stood beside Aurora.The next, he was surrounded by enemies.Silver weapons struck at him, but he moved too quickly for them to land.Aurora raised the

Aurora woke to the sound of her own heartbeat. Thump. Thump. Thump. It echoed through the darkness of the sanctuary as though the ancient walls had become a second chest around her. She opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the moonlight. It poured through the cracks in the stone ceiling, silver and impossibly bright, illuminating the chamber in a strange, almost sacred glow. The second thing she noticed was the pain. Her hand burned. Aurora lifted it slowly. A silver crescent-shaped mark had appeared on the center of her palm. She stared at it. “What is that?” “It wasn’t there before.” Lucien. His voice came from behind her. Aurora turned. The vampire king stood several feet away, his dark coat torn from the battle outside. There was dried blood along his jaw, but his eyes were fixed entirely on her hand. Kael stood beside him. Unlike Lucien, the werewolf king looked furious. Not at Aurora. At the mark. “What did the Moon Goddess do to her?” Kael dema

The sanctuary went completely silent. Aurora stood in the center of the chamber, silver light burning beneath her skin. The stranger stared at her. For the first time, there was fear in his eyes. “You remember,” he whispered. Aurora’s fingers curled into fists. “Yes.” The word came out colder than she expected. Images continued flooding her mind. A battlefield covered in snow. Hundreds of bodies. A silver crown lying in the blood. And two men kneeling before her. Lucien. Kael. But they were different. Younger. And they were both covered in blood. Aurora looked at Lucien. “You were there.” Lucien’s expression changed. “Yes.” “You knew me.” His silence was enough. Aurora’s chest tightened. “You knew me before this life.” “I did.” Her eyes moved to Kael. “And you?” Kael lowered his head. “I knew you too.” Aurora stepped away from both of them. “Then why didn’t either of you tell me?” Neither answered. “Why?” Her voice echoed through the sanctuary.
