Forsaken Light Novels & Stories

“Girls! Enough whispering. Selene, try to act like a proper Moonbane omega tonight. For once.” I turned and gave her my best polite nod. “Of course, Aunt Ysara.” She gave me a look like she didn’t believe me for one second before sweeping out of the room. Liora leaned in close, whispering like a little devil on my shoulder. “She didn’t say anything about sneaking wine.” I blinked. “Please tell me you didn’t.” She grinned and tapped her clutch. “A full flask. We’re going to survive this night.” The journey to the neutral lands—lush forest territory claimed by no pack—was filled with stiff silence, fake smiles, and the uncomfortable tension of trying not to breathe too loud next to people who’

Then, with purpose, I tossed it into the trash can. The sharp, hollow clink of metal hitting the bottom echoed through the quiet night. The wind brushed against me, its chill settling over my skin. I looked out over the night view, where even the dimmest stars held a faint trace of light. Then, I turned and stepped back inside, closing the door behind me. In that moment, I felt a stillness I had never known. Everything in the past had finally fallen with the stars into endless darkness. And ahead of me, there lay countless possibilities that I could explore one by one.

I’d sooner sleep under a bridge for the rest of my life! Brilliant dark eyes raked over her impassively. “Alrighty then... Go now, I have nothing more to say to you.” “Oh, but I do! I’m not finished yet,” Lara asserted with venom. “Three years ago, you came into my life like a dark shadow and you tried to destroy it. There is no human being alive whom I hate more than you! And why did you set out to wreck my life? Out of nothing more than arrogant vanity, selfishness, and lust. It didn’t matter to you that I was engaged to another man or that I loved that man. It didn’t matter that you might hurt him as much as you hurt me.”

She thought of Lucan and Kaden, of the lives she’d touched and the sacrifices that had brought her here. “If I do this,” she said, her voice steady despite the fear coursing through her, “it’s not for the light. It’s for them.” The storm of memories stilled, and a single beam of light descended, enveloping her. “Then step forward,” the voice commanded. --- A deafening silence fell over the cavern as the fracture suddenly imploded, its energy condensing into a single point. Lucan and Kaden shielded their eyes as a blinding light filled the space.

the other Lydia says in my mind, her voice distant yet firm. I grit my teeth and reach forward again. This time, I let myself fall into the light completely. It feels like stepping straight into the heart of the sun. The heat devours everything. I can’t breathe, can’t think. My body feels like it’s breaking apart. My scream never leaves my lips, swallowed by the blinding brilliance. My skin dissolves, my blood turns to mist, my bones shatter. The pain is unbearable, but somewhere deep within it, I understand—it isn’t the light destroying me, it’s the poison burning out of me. Every piece of darkness Baron left behind is turning to ash.

I stepped closer to my pillar and read the words aloud: "In the heart of darkness, light must shine, But alone, its glow will fade with time. By shadow’s grace, the light is freed, Together, they are one in need." Evelina joined me, reading the rest of the inscription on her side: "Through dusk and dawn, they dance as one, For without the dark, the light is undone. When both are present, the truth is clear, Together they guide, without fear." She met my eyes, understanding lighting up in her expression. "It’s a test of balance—light and dark. Both need to work in unity to move forward."

His eyes scanned the page, trying to comprehend the words, but the cost—the price—was unbearable. "Only a soul born of both light and shadow, one who has touched the abyss and returned, can sever the bond between dark and light. But the soul of the one who performs this will be irrevocably torn. The light will vanish from them, and they will live in eternal shadow. To save another, the one who sacrifices must surrender their own salvation."

I slurred failing in my attempts to raise my eyelids. I pressed a soft kiss to his cheek before I gave up, succumbing to the darkness as my eyelids closed. Not before I heard words that would follow me wherever I went, "The light can never truly love the darkness for they are fated but never destined to be one" {THANKS FOR READING!}

He was about to strike and through our bond I could feel just how afraid he was, because the forsaken was lowering his hand to claw at Tristan’s neck. “Mommy!” his painful scream tore at my heart and froze me, everything moving in slow motion from there on. The once blue red-ish sky that was signifying the start of a new day suddenly turned dark. There was thunder and lightning all over the sky and the ground beneath us shook. I could feel and taste the power that was all around us. A streak of light appeared behind the forsaken just before his head was torn clean from his shoulders, revealing a woman with obsidian eyes who immediately turned her back to us as she surveyed the creatures.

The shadowy figures approached, their forms rippling like water. Their haunting blue eyes seemed to penetrate the very souls of the guardians, each gaze filled with centuries of sorrow and regret. But amidst the melancholy, there was a palpable aura of wisdom and understanding. Elara, swallowing her fear, stepped forward. "Who are you? Why have you emerged from the chasm?" A taller figure, draped in flowing garments that mimicked the movement of the ocean waves, replied, "We are the Forsaken — those who once sought the Luminara but faltered. We are echoes of Meranthia's past, a reminder of the challenges that lie ahead."
