The Arcana Muriel Novels & Stories

Its doors hung open, but only darkness spilled from within. --- The Temple’s Secret Inside, the group lit torches and descended the spiraling stone staircase. The walls were lined with faded murals—some depicting wolves, others star charts and celestial symbols Aria had only ever seen in ancient texts. But one mural near the bottom stopped her cold. It was a painting of a woman. Hair of fire. Marked wrists. A pendant at her throat is identical to the one Aria wore. “She looks like you,” Brinn whispered. Aria reached out and touched the stone. The mural shimmered briefly—then the floor beneath them groaned.

Molly stood up confronting her, she folded her arms and gave her a devilish smile. “Get straight to the point, you are confusing me” Aurora sounded impatient, she knew a thought had resurfaced in Molly’s brilliant brain but she was just teasing her because she could spill the beans. Molly formed a mirror with her magic and Aurora looked at her reflection in it. “What am i looking at..” “Shhhh, look deeper” Molly instructed, Aurora’s reflection in the mirror was slowly changing and she turned into Ariana in no time.

Mr Philip went in, took a seat and turned on all the computers so he could have eyes all over the house. "Oh my God! If I'd known that archaeologists could be this rich, I'd gone into the business a long time ago," Kurt remarked. "You'd be surprised how much rich people are willing to pay for lost ancient artefacts," Micah said to him. "So, now what?" Lydia asked Mr Philip. He got off the seat and came back into the main room. "Well, whatever happens next is up to you kids. You can decide to try and go back to your regular lives and pretend like none of this is happening all the while trying to avoid being hunted by a magical assassin from your realm or..."

My vision blurred; maybe I was still crying. It didn’t matter; the pain was gone. A nice and cool sensation wrapped around me and soothed my heated, sweaty skin. The frantic sound of my pulse resembled the sound of waves washing in on the beach. It was soothing, so I just smiled when Arcane´s face suddenly appeared in my view. Maybe he heard the waves, too? I closed my eyes; we could look for the mermaids later, I thought, and I willingly drifted away into the foggy darkness pressing around me.

“The pack needs stability. An alliance. A future that can’t be questioned.” Whispers began like wind through dry leaves. I felt every gaze pivot toward me—curious, hungry, cruel. The priest looked rattled. “The Moon chooses—” “And I choose,” Kieran cut in, stepping closer to the priest, closer to the silver bowl, closer to the line he was about to cross. His eyes burned as he spoke the words that would split a girl from her destiny. “I reject Aria Marrow.” The sound that came out of my chest wasn’t a sob.

The grimoire turned out to be the largest book Cassandra had ever seen, with pages made of parchment illuminated with tracery, and it was open to a page thickly covered with elegant, intricate writing. To Cassandra, it was the most beautiful handwriting she had ever seen. She felt the urge to trace her fingers over the inked pages. There were pictures of herbs, flowers, roots, and seeds. There were also diagrams and drawings of astronomy. Some of them with suns, moons, and stars, or symbols for the zodiacal constellations: two fish for Pisces, a bull for Taurus, a hunter with a crossbow for Sagittarius, and so on. Each of these had female figures arranged in two or more concentric bands. Mos

Aurora said and Cindy groaned "Oh gosh...she's dumb" She mumbled "I'm coming in" Aurora tried again "Are you insane?! I said who are you?!"

Cindy asked "So who are you?" Aurora asked "Cindy,her childhood friend and also her best friend" Cindy said proudly

Alpha Kieran and his mate was known in all the packs. His mate and Luna, Luna Annaliese was a blind woman. For a while, she was known as the blind luna before the goddess, selene touched her eyes. Well, that was a story for another day. Their bus stopped in front of a building with a brown skinned woman standing, as if waiting for them. They got down from the bus and followed Mrs Riggs who approached the woman. The woman smiled at them before she spoke. "Hello, I'm Tricia, the Delta Female of Zenith pack and I'll be your tour guide. Normally, my mate, Delta Leon should have been here but unfortunately, he had some business at another pack".

She imagined what it would feel like on the other parts of her body again. "Sil? Sil?" She snapped out of her thoughts though it took a little shake. "Penny for your thoughts". She smiled. "It wasn't something serious. Just random thoughts". "And you don't want to talk about it? Is it about the chimera?" He peered into her eyes. "No, no my love it isn't. I'm fine. What were you saying?" "Master Arcus left me a book, Magix of death and life." Sil looked at him wide eyed. "Isn't that the book about Necromancy?"

Lila sat frozen on the couch, her hands clutched tightly together. Finally, Adrian ended the call and lowered the phone, exhaling heavily. His gaze swept over all of us before settling on Morgana. “That was Julian from the Arcane Network,” he said, his tone steady but laced with urgency. “They’ve found Lennon.” The room erupted into a cacophony of gasps and murmurs. Lila’s hand flew to her mouth, tears springing to her eyes, while Morgana visibly trembled, her hands gripping the armrest of the couch.
