Selune Seal Chest 소설 & 이야기

Lucien said quietly. The whisper returned immediately afterward. Closer now. ‘You’re frightened.’ I clenched my jaw hard. “I’m not talking to you.” Rex looked at me sharply. “It’s speaking again.” “Yes.” “What’s it saying.” Before I could answer— The throne at the center of the seal began glowing faintly. Silver. Exactly like the markings beneath my skin. Lucien’s expression changed instantly. “No.” Kaelen frowned. “What.” But Lucien was already looking directly at me.

Where a man had once stood, now a great black werewolf crouched, snarling, his teeth bared dangerously. Suddenly something clicked open in my mind, like a window shutter. Suddenly I could hear Alexander's thoughts, filtering into my own head like sunlight through that open window, the thoughts directed at the snarling wolves in front of him. Touch her, and I'll tear you apart, he seemed to say. Then he turned his regal head to me. Get behind me, he said through the wave of thoughts, and my eyes widened. "What?" I whispered. Get behind me, Elaine. Now!

His Lycan form surged beneath the surface, barely contained by the thin veneer of control. “Sean!” Carl barked at his loyal assistant, who trailed behind him. “Yes, Alpha!” “Trace the scent. Pull every string you can. I want to know who the hell dared breach my land.” His voice was deadly calm, but his amber eyes glowed with primal rage. Sean bent down, brushing his fingers against the ground. “The binding residue here... it's council work. The Sanctum Veil. I’ve read about it in the ancient records. No one else has access to that artifact.”

Symbols hidden for centuries beneath the sanctuary stone. Selene entered seconds later with visible alarm crossing her usually controlled expression. “It reached the upper network already.” Kael gestured angrily toward the glowing floor. “You think?” Selene ignored him. Her eyes locked directly onto the emerging Lunar symbols beneath Aria’s feet. Then for the first time since arriving— Selene looked afraid. “The First Seal is breaking.” Cold silence followed. Aria stared downward at the glowing symbols spreading rapidly across the chamber floor. “What seal?” Selene hesitated.

Even if the situation wasn't ideal, he would do this with class. He was stunned when she stood there a moment then grabbed the edges of her sweater and slowly drew it over her head. He sucked in his breath at the sight of her nicely rounded breasts cradled in the cups of a lacy purple bra. The dark nipples were temptingly visible through the cutouts in the lace.

Professor Mansfield’s eyes returned to me. I held her gaze. “My wolf.” The word still felt impossible in my mouth. Professor Mansfield drew a slow breath. “Who told you?” “I overheard it.” “From whom?” “That doesn’t matter.” “It matters if the person understood the magic involved.” “They understood enough to know what happens when it fails.” Her attention sharpened. “Is it failing?” I should have stopped there, but Sonya’s whisper returned with perfect clarity. The seal is weakening. “The stone has been getting warm,” I admitted. “Sometimes it pulses.”

“No, Luna.” She stepped to reach me, her hands were firmly placed on both my shoulders. “The arrow that was on his chest remained there up until now and it was said to contain some kind of wolfsbane poison that is making his body and wolf weak.” Confused, I nodded at her information. I understand what Donna was trying to say. It would be a great risk for me to interfere with the situation given it was already at its worst case. “He’s impossible to cure,” Donna added, almost in a whisper before her hands went down my arms as her shoulder slumped.

"The Veil has weakened faster than I feared." She placed both hands over mine. "My time is almost over." Golden moonlight flowed from her palms into my body. The Crown of Luna transformed. Silver gems along its edge ignited one by one. "The Crown's final seal..." "...is now broken." Power unlike anything I had ever known surged through me. The Celestial Flame roared to life. The Sword of Eclipse appeared beside me. The Heart of Selene floated above the altar. All four relics answered my call. Seluna smiled proudly.

The mark pulses in response to whatever is moving below us, and I realize with growing horror that the two phenomena are connected. Whatever marked my mate is somehow tied to whatever is waking up in the depths of the earth. The silver wolf turns its ancient eyes toward me, and for the first time since I've known of its existence, it speaks directly to me rather than to Selene. Its voice carries the weight of eons, filled with sadness and terrible knowledge. "The seal is cracking," it says, each word falling like a stone into still water. "And only the blood of a Luna can hold it closed again."

SELENA The air smelt of wealth and power. I stood before the mirror, staring at my reflection. A purple flared gown was worn beautifully. The corset blared with shiny light. Radiating with light and power. My silver hair was wrapped in a golden crown, and on my chest were tiny tattoos. Looking closer, I realised it was a ceremonial mark for a claimed Luna... Luna? Crouching beside me was my majestic silver wolf. Bigger and stronger.
