She could feel it, something was coming, something that had been waiting for a very long time.

Something that might destroy her in ways death never could. The sky began to lighten in the east—from black to deep blue to pale grey. Dawn was coming.

And I didn't know whether to be grateful or terrified.

He told me about the Moon Bane—and about Sirella. His bastard daughter. The Moon Bane wasn’t just something that tricked your foe to be your mate . It is a blood curse, passed down through generations, waiting in silence until something woke it up. It didn’t appear in just anyone. It had to be triggered. And now, for some reason, it had awakened in Sirella now. I exhaled slowly, staring at the fire crackling in the hearth. While Shadows flickered along the walls, stretching, shifting. The room felt colder despite the warmth of the flames.

He recognized the unparalleled value of the Celestial Nymphaea. Lauren, undeterred, raised the stakes. "2.25 million." Bane gritted his teeth and barked back. "3 million!" Lauren's temper flared.

The moon hung low in the sky, its soft, lunar glow bathed the landscape in an ethereal light, casting long shadows that stretched like dark fingers across the ground. The balcony, where Reyes stood tall and still, vulnerable and exposed, was bathed in a silver radiance that highlighted the contours of his naked form. His silhouette was stark against the moonlit backdrop, a study in contrasts of light and dark. The shadows danced around him, like dark spirits swirling at his feet.

The night of her eighteenth birthday was supposed to be the happiest of Emily's life. “Growing up, my mother used to tell me that mates are the Moon Goddess’s greatest blessing,” I whispered, the words barely audible over the scrape of the broom against the cold stone floor. “She said they are your protector, your other half—the one who will love and cherish you until eternity.”
