Something ancient. 《》Selene's POV The entire pack was abuzz with murmurs when I woke from my nap. “What is this?” I demanded, sweeping into the chamber. “Why are you all gawking like fools at the windows?” One of the guards pointed, his face pale. “Look, my lady…” I turned, annoyance rising in my chest, until I saw it. The stars. They stars were brighter, sharper, like tiny shards of glass carved into the night. The constellations had shifted. And the moon was bursting with untamed energy. Its light spilled over the entire land.

Seeing that I didn't message him back, Shawn scoffed and walked away, and that's when Aster slowly came to. His sweat and blood had dried, sealing his eyelids shut. Too weak to stand, he groped blindly toward the familiar staircase, crawling forward with great effort. "Mommy… I want to go back to Mommy…" Doctors and nurses passing by whispered among themselves—some in pity, others in ridicule. I followed behind Aster, my soul pierced by a thousand needles. Step by step, each feeling like a lifetime. By the time he finally made it back to me, my blood had long since frozen in the cold night air, but Aster didn't understand. He smiled brightly. "Mommy's not bleeding anymore!"

Sunlight pierced the clouds, shining on the snowman Emma had built last night. It wore Gordon's old scarf, its button eyes gleaming with a joyful sparkle. The End

I smiled and said gently, "Is that so? Congratulations, Catherine. But… I'll have to decline. Send him my best." The call ended. I drifted to the balcony, where Celandre's skyline stretched before me, a forest of steel and glass. Drawing a deep breath, I looked into the boundless sky and let a serene smile curve my lips. Goodbye, Liam. Goodbye… to my past.

It attached. She stared at her hands. The faint shimmer beneath her skin pulsed once, like a quiet heartbeat. Not hers. She curled her fingers into fists. “Damien,” she whispered, leaning closer. “I don’t know what’s happening to me.” His eyelids fluttered. “Elara…?” She froze. “Yeah,” she breathed. “I’m here.” Damien’s gaze moved slowly across her face, soft but searching. “Your veins… they’re glowing more.”

As suddenly as it appeared, so suddenly its life had come to an end. It lay there quietly. A cobalt blue fox the size of a mastiff. The undercoat was black, as were the legs and stomach. But the most striking thing about the Amphitheater was the white star markings on his forehead, which gave him something mystical. "That was easy," I said from my lips. At that moment the prole twitched. Our weapons almost jumped into our hands on their own and tensed the barrel at the monster, but now it was quiet again.

Noelle wouldn’t say she messed up, because she had done her research, & had found that even if there’s no moonlight, there should still be starlight. She looks up at the night sky, and finds nothing but pure darkness. No moon, no stars, not even a shiny freckle. This shouldn’t be happening, unless someone else stole what was left of the moon, and all of the stars. No one can stand between Noelle and her dream prom, so she decides that she has to find the person behind the missing stars. She has to figure out how they took them, and how to steal them back. She decides that she would have to bring them to her castle. But who knows where to start looking, and who knows what kind of magic will p

Stars are falling, streaking across the dark velvet like embers, their trails shimmering before dissolving into dust. I laugh, tilting my head back. “It’s beautiful.” Rhysand doesn’t answer. His grip on my wrist is iron, his thumb rubbing slow circles over my pulse. I reached out, fingers stretching toward the sky, and a star fell in my palm. It’s warm, glowing faintly, like a dying coal. I stare at it, mesmerized, as it dissolves into sparkles, dusting my skin with gold. Rhysand watches me, his expression unreadable.
