Sanctuary Stone Elden Ring

#BOOK 2 “You are… A Dryad too..” Lilly gasped and closed her gaping mouth with her palm. “Yea… I thought I was the only one too…” He chuckled. “So where are you from? I've been exploring this forest for years now. But I never met one like you…” He tilted his head. Made her nervous. Lilly gulped. She didn’t want to trust anyone this early. She learns her lesson. Even though the man in front of her is the same creature as her. She can’t just say everything to him. But, she didn't know how to lie in this situation, either. “I… I come from Theta…” She whispered. But he can hear her. “Theta? That werewolf and Lycan Realm?” He frowned. Lilly bopped her head. She thought that she might be in danger already. But then, she saw a smile across his face. “So, you are a hybrid too… Lycan… or..” “Werewolf,” Lilly answered him quickly. His smile only gets wider. She could see those tiny little fangs in his mouth. Wait… What is he, then? “You…” “Me? I came from Valoria Realm… I'm half vampire…” ….………………… Lilly and Luca didn't expect that they would be trapped in Myth Heaven, after what happened to Myrna and Mira. With Luca's knowledge and Lilly's power, will they be able to survive in the notoriously terrifying Elden Wood forest? Or has Elden Wood changed from the rumors that had been around for thousands of years? What if Lilly meets a man who turns out to be a Dryad like herself? What happened to Declan and Finn, as well as Debby and Rio will be in this second book of The Lycans' Broken Luna. Are you ready to explore more Realms with Lilly and her mates?

On the night of the Benedetto family's Harvest Festival, my Mafia husband, Salvatore, told me to bring our son, Giuseppe, to the family gathering. He said his madre had finally accepted us into the Benedetto bloodline. I was trembling with excitement in our little cottage as I dressed Giuseppe in his finest little suit. He had carved a single wooden rose by hand, a project he'd saved for over five years. He said he would present it to his grandmother at the celebration, a plea for her to accept our place in the family. But the moment we stepped into the stone manor, I saw Carmela. Salvatore had her pinned against an oak barrel in a deep, searing kiss. In the moonlight, her hand was undoing his tie. In front of everyone, Salvatore smiled and gently pushed her away. He walked toward the family members gathered in a semicircle and raised a crystal glass. "Tonight, in addition to celebrating the harvest, I have an important announcement." "I would like to introduce you all to the woman I have married in the eyes of God and the Church." "Miss Carmela Torrino." Before I could even process his words, Giuseppe tore his hand from mine and rushed forward. "Papa, what are you saying?" "Isn't my mother your wife?"

Despite a decade of marriage, Simon never once shared my bed, claiming that he had pledged himself to ascetic practices and that it was beneath him. I thought that he suffered from some shameful ailment and guarded his secret like a devoted fool, until my birthday, when I came home to find him entangled with a brothel worker before the floor-length mirror. When I lunged forward in rage, he drove a shard of that broken mirror straight through my heart. When I awoke, I was gripping my phone, its screen illuminating a message Simon had just sent: [I’ll still give you a lavish wedding, but the marriage certificate? That belongs to her.]

After my 99th failed confession of love to Jim, my parents grounded me for two weeks. "You've embarrassed yourself enough over that illegitimate son from the Larson family," they snapped. "Has he ever even spared you a proper glance?" "Stay home and reflect. We've already arranged your marriage to the Shaw family. The wedding will be in two weeks." However, I didn’t give up. I was so determined to see Jim, no matter what. Only to walk in on him locked in a deep kiss with his precious first love in a private room. "Jim, you really know how to play," one of his friends laughed. "If the Cunningham family's heiress catches you like this, she'll probably lose her mind again." "Seriously, you've turned Ella down so many times, and now that she's grounded, you haven't even sent her a message. Aren't you afraid she'll finally give up on you?" Jim just scoffed with disdain and said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? Everyone in the capital knows Ella is obsessed with me. Who else would want her but me?" "If I hadn't needed her to get back into the Larson family, I never would've postponed my engagement to Rowena in the first place."

Love, loyalty, or sheer stupidity, Larissa couldn't tell which it was, when she blurted out four damning words in a moment of weakness that sealed her fate; IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. What began as a desperate plea now binds her to a crime she didn't commit– a crime her fiance swore to fix, only to betray her in the worst possible way. Now with an unexpected ally offering help Larissa couldn't help but question his motives. Trusting a Patterson destroyed her once; trusting another could cost her everything. But her thirst for justice is far greater than her fears, because revenge, like a diamond ring, is a cold and treacherous thing.

There were five things I was absolutely certain I wouldn't miss even if I became blind: -The first one was the fact that I was a slave and my life would never go back to the way it was. -The Second one was the Duke who bought me was a dragon hiding his identity for a reason I didn't know. Weren't dragons supposed to be powerful and all? Using his race might give him a huge advantage in politics. -The third one I was certain the Duke was hungry for me and I started to love him. Furthermore, he was cursed and the cursed ones didn't live for more than a year. Conquering him was a lost cause; a battle with less than 50% of success. However… Was it really necessary to label numbers on everything that was happening? -The Fourth one: Was it really necessary for Dotoria, the human land, to curse the other races existing within its borders? I wasn't confident about the statement. Nonetheless, everyone was looking for a wish granter gem. The nine kingdoms collided eying the gemstone like a prize for dominion. -The Fifth one had the magic of belief in it; Do you work on your dream or stay back hiding behind a smoke of mist fearing failure? I wanted to escape but I gradually lost interest in it. The world was a mystery in my eyes and I was taught to never engage in a battle with less than 50% of success. Do I even have a dream because the only thing I wished for was the reason I was a slave. People were driven by dreams and goals and I didn't have one yet.
