LUNA'S POV He wanted to know if I wanted more. Did I want more? Of course, I wanted more! I opened my mouth to talk but no sound came out. The orgasm I felt was like no other. This wasn't my first time having orgasms but nothing prepared me for the one that assaulted my nerves. My body was still tingling but I wanted to continue. I doubt I would see Asher after this night which was a good thing because I didn't want to be caught up with a man like h-

Dust particles danced in the faint moonlight filtering through the curtains, creating an ethereal ambiance. Eying a specific shelf covered in a thin layer of dust, Joseph couldn't resist the allure of exploration. His fingers traced the spines of neglected books, each one a silent witness to the passage of years. With a gentle pull, Joseph selected a dusty tome, feeling the weight of its untold stories in his hands.

“The runes are our pack’s lifeblood, woven with the first Alpha’s blood to bind the land’s pure spirits. They protect us from corrupted spirits twisted by greed or ambition. Nightshade’s rituals have awakened such a force, targeting women of power.” Kiyiya nodded, her voice steady. “Each rune tells a story. Some guard, some heal, others… bind. We’ve strengthened them over generations, but they’re straining against Nightshade’s magic. You felt them, Aurora, because your spirit resonates with their power.” Marcus leaned forward, his roguish grin surfacing. “So, these runes are like magical poetry? Althea, you and Kiyiya must be poets, then.” His playful tone drew a soft laugh from Althea, her

"Only one way to prove that." "Careful, wife." I warned, my voice low and teasing. "I always rise to a challenge." She laughed softly, her gaze falling to the book she’d closed. "Do you know what this book’s about?" I glanced at the title again, pretending to think. "A family, right? Something about poverty and resilience?" She nodded, seeming a bit surprised though she had found the book in the beach house, probably assuming I've never read it. "It’s about overcoming tough beginnings and finding beauty in broken places. It’s sad but also hopeful." Her voice softened and she looked thoughtful.

“Shadow that clings can be burned by light unclaimed.” Light unclaimed. Not wielded. Not conjured. Unclaimed. It’s maddening and vague. One of those half-riddles the old scholars always loved to leave behind as though ambiguity made them brilliant instead of insufferable. Without my Sight, I have no way of knowing what it really means.

“Something real. Not a memory of a party or a name of a person we both hate. Tell me something you see right now.” I looked around the room. I saw the way the firelight danced on the gold leaf of the book spines. I saw the dust motes dancing in the air like tiny, silent stars. I saw the way the shadows made him look younger, softer. “I see the fire,” I said, my voice low and melodic. “It’s dying down to embers, a soft, glowing orange. It looks like the heart of a mountain. And the books… they look like a city of paper, all standing at attention, waiting for someone to listen to them. And I see a man who is far more than the darkness he’s been handed.”

Wendy overheard the conversation. She felt numbed. Did Lucas fake his cancer? Lucas, supposedly frail, threw his blanket off and jumped out of bed. The person beside him handed him a cigarette as if it were the norm. Lucas, smoking a cigarette, looked nothing like the man Wendy remembered—the one who always had a gentle smile for her. "Anyway, she never had much money. I didn't expect her to hand over all her money. I was surprised."

The man before me bore no trace of the Lucas I once knew. Gone was the calm, confident professor. In his place stood a hollow, haggard shell of a man with bloodshot eyes. He looked utterly defeated, like a dried tree that had splintered beneath its own weight. He was completely stripped of the brilliance he once carried.

Her eyes brightened at the sight of the books. “Good morning, dear. Any recommendations for a book to curl up with?” she asked, voice warm but tinged with hesitation. I folded my novel shut and looked up, offering her the practiced smile that hid the iron beneath. “Depends on what you like. Something light? Something dark?” She hesitated, then said, “Dark, but with hope.” I tapped a book nearby, The Night Circus. “This one weaves mystery and magic, but underneath, it’s a story about trust and power.”

The air around him changed, that slow, suffocating pressure that meant he was no longer pretending to be anything but what he was. Her magic strained harder, pushing back. He was a wall. She was a blast wave. The lights went out. Not a flicker. A complete blackout. For one breath, the only illumination came from the city far below and the thin moonlight slicing through the broken windows. In that dimness, Althea saw it: Her reflection in the jagged shards embedded in the wall. Her own eyes shining too bright, catching light they shouldn’t. Her hair lifted in a wind that wasn’t there.
