Romans & histoires The Tale Of The Midnight Ride

It wasn't long before she found out that she could read everything despite very slowly. It was a poem, which read as follows: 'It was the Coming of the Midnight Sun, A daughter of the Sacred Wood, Lay in a chamber of the House of the Moon, And thus shall wither like a dying star Til the touch of a virgin at dawn.'

That night was supposed to be mine. The feast was grand. Bonfires crackled. Lanterns floated. The entire pack gathered under the moonlit sky, cloaked in furs and secrets. They even sang songs—my name included. And there I was, in the center of the ritual ground, smiling like an idiot, heart thudding, waiting for the shift to take over me. Then... midnight struck. The sky didn’t shimmer. The wind didn’t whisper. The moon didn’t bless. Instead, thunder roared like a war cry. Lightning tore the sky open like a vengeful scream. The bonfires hissed. The drums stopped.

The invitation had been mysterious, the address a secret, and now I was about to be the prize at something called the Midnight Auction. My breath caught when a tall man in a tailored black suit stepped onto the stage. His mask covered half his face, but his dark eyes scanned the room like a predator looking for its next meal. His voice cut through the quiet like silk wrapped in steel. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “welcome to the Midnight Auction. Tonight, one lucky bidder will win a very special prize.” He smiled, sharp and confident. “Her name is Mia.” Heat rose in my cheeks. That was me. All eyes turned in my direction, and I could feel the weight of their gazes like a thousand tiny f

Chapter 42: The Midnight Pack rode under a sky choked with storm clouds, the moon flickering in and out like a dying flame. Aria clutched the saddle of her obsidian-furred mare, her heart pounding not from the speed of their journey but the unknown that waited ahead. The Oracle. A place even legends feared to speak of. Kael rode beside her, silent and tense. His eyes never left the road, but his aura burned with one single purpose: protect her at all costs.

Snow climbed up along Midnight's leg and sat on the mane of his neck. "Are you ready to go, Louisa?" the man asked me. "Yeah," I nodded. He wrapped his arms gently around my waist and took up the reins. "Let's go, old chap," he said. Midnight snorted and pawed his hove into the ground before taking a leap. I felt that I was about to be thrown off the horseback, but the man grabbed me tightly in his arms. It was almost dusk and I could see the clouds on the horizon burning silently.

“What about you? Don't you need to hide yourself too? She laughed. “If you could smell yourself, you would understand why I'm giving that to you. It's like nothing I've smelt before. You're the flame and you can believe me when I say you attract a lot of moths. And unfortunately, a lot of bats too.” I eventually took the necklace and placed it around my neck, hopefully, it'll protect me just like she said it would. “Come see me tomorrow, we have some things to talk about. But come at night. For no reason, should you leave your room before 4pm. And if you're not here by 8pm, don't bother coming.” Very specific instructions but okay, I guess. “Magma, you said I attract bats. Don't bats hate li

Lynne asked it took them a week later than anticipated "Because my deadline in killing you is now overdue and I'll be executed after you tonight." Midnight announced bluntly like she was already ready for it to happen Lynne's lips made a thin line at the act "and you aren't afraid?" confused by the girl's reaction "not really we all got to die right?" Midnight shrugged. "Wait, cross that, of course, I'm terrified, I don't want to die yet that's why I'm telling you all this to help me in my predicament." she looks at Lynne straight in the eyes, the fire was not going to be put out just yet.

They hop in and after a little instructions from Jenna, they went on their way. She dropped her exactly on the sidewalk near her house. She could see her house, the lights were all off, a sign that nobody's home yet. Maybe Klarisse and Kendra had eaten away as she looked at the garage and the car was not parked there. It was past 11 o'clock. She bids goodbye to Jenna, wishing her a good night's rest. She waited until the car got lost in her vision as it went on the curb. She inhaled the fresh cold evening air and appreciated the lush crown of the acacia tree where she stood. She sighed, contemplating the incidents that happened to her this day. It was a day indeed. Finally, she went towards

Adora helplessly argued. "Is that so? Then she is welcome to do her worst!" Further attempts to convince Edwardo to release the siren were futile. The man was too blinded by greed to see the impending doom. And it came. The quiet waters of the golden seas suddenly became turbulent as several groups of sirens in their hundreds swam towards the surface. At exactly midnight, the scaly-tailed creatures crawled out of the water, shifting immediately to dazzling beauties. They ventured into the city and the once quiet night was disturbed with screams and cries of agony.
