A Moth To Flame Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

She heard it in her head. “Hey. Are you gonna puke again?” She couldn’t answer. The swarm of fireflies turned into something else. Flames. A city. On fire. Montessa whimpered, trying to pull away. “Hey.” The bowl was in front of her, her hair pulled back again, but she couldn’t take her eyes off the glow of his cigarette, of the flames running down the mountainside, of the open mouths of screaming people trapped inside buildings. The stranger touched her, and she jerked away from his hands.

Flames of desire He cupped her breast with his hands as he aggressively devoured her nipples with his mouth, one after another. "Oh fuck," she moaned and slid her hands down his chest to the taut line of his abdomen, and made every muscle that made him manly ache for her even more, he rolled his tongue in circular motion around her nipples and sent more shivers down her spine.

The weight in the air? It was suffocating. “I’m done with riddles,” I snarled. “Show yourself.” The mirror shimmered. A woman stepped through, barefoot, wearing a gown of ash and ember. Her skin glowed like obsidian carved by lightning. “I am the first queen,” she whispered. “The Flame that bore the line.” Lily’s breath hitched. “You’re supposed to be dead.” “Flame does not die. It waits. It chooses.” Her gaze slid to Logan. “And it has chosen again.”

We were the storm that would answer her fury with fire of our own. ********* Night poured like ink across the Watchers’ stronghold, no stars, no moon, just a suffocating stretch of black sky pressing down. I couldn’t sleep, and I wasn’t sure I even wanted to. My skin felt too tight. My blood too loud. I stood alone in the candlelit corridor outside the chamber we’d been given. The flames danced strangely tonight, longer, flickering in odd directions, almost whispering to me.

The words settled in the centre of her chest and stayed there. She forced herself to look back at the wall. “Tell me what the text says. The writing around the border.” For a moment he said nothing. Then he began to recite, not translating but speaking from memory, the words worn smooth from years of repetition. “The flame does not choose a hand. It chooses a soul. No force of will, no act of theft, no cleverness of mind can hold what belongs to its vessel. The vessel will come in borrowed skin, from a borrowed world, carrying grief the flame already knows. She will not understand what she carries or what she is. She will arrive frightened and furious, completely unable to be controlled.”

“Enjoy it while it is hot.” I stiffened, but kept my eyes on her, waiting for her to finish what she wanted to saw. “There’s a little thing about moths,” she continued calmly, almost indulgently. “They’re always drawn to the brightest fire. They always believe that it is going to save them. It is seen as stupid and foolish, but there is no one to actually stop them. If there was, they wouldn’t be as foolish as to try and burn themselves alive.” Her lips curved faintly. “But they always burn once it grows too bright. Just like you will.”

He stood up and walked to the couch, she got up and followed him “I know, he may not be able to cure her, but please promise me that you will ask him to try his best to save her, Will you?,” She pleaded and he smiled, taking her in his arms “I will,” Don’t they always ask the moth to fly away from the flame, Then why would a moth willingly let itself burn to ashes? All Hearts!!

The beginning of my return to the world. Not as Aurelia Veythorne, the rejected daughter. As Luna, the Silver Ghost. "Ready?" Zane asked. I thought about Darian's cruel words. My family's silent rejection. The years of being treated like I was broken. "More than ready," I said. Together, we walked into the neon-lit darkness of Millbrook, toward the Howling Pit and whatever waited inside. End of Chapter 15 Comment if you're ready for the action!

I was standing in a field of white fire again, the same place I’d seen before. But this time, it wasn’t empty. The Moon Goddess stood before me, her silver hair falling like water, her eyes calm. Beside her stood the figure of flame — taller, darker, with eyes that burned like the sun. I couldn’t breathe. “Who are you?” The flame spoke first. “You already know.” “No,” I said. “I don’t.” “You carry my blood,” he said. “The fire that can end everything.” The goddess looked at me gently. “And mine,” she said. “The light that can save it.”

I feel my wolf doing the same thing, he is furious at me for the shit show of the night but doesn’t want to forget what she looks like either. The taxi arrives and my heart sinks as she says goodbye. In one last ditch effort to seem somewhat gentlemanly I reach out to open the door for her. I don’t realize that Grace didn’t see me move and my hand goes over the top of hers on the door handle. The connection is instant. Sparks fly up my hand all the way to my heart. I was already pretty confident, but now I know without a doubt that she is my mate. She gasps at the touch and I pull my hand away as I apologize to her. I wondered if she felt it when I heard her hear rate increase. I was worried
