The Moon God's Bride
For centuries, the villagers have whispered of Solas, the forgotten moon god imprisoned in a cave deep within the ancient forest. Solas's wrath has been a force of terror, barely contained by the magical runes that bind him. Every decade, a bride is sent as a sacrifice to appease his fury, only to be met with a swift and merciless death.
But this decade, something is different. Solas's powers are growing stronger, and the bonds of his prison are weakening. As another bride offering day approaches, Solas is ready to kill once more. But when he meets her, he is thrown off balance. This bride doesn't tremble in fear like the others. She comes to him not with the desperation to survive, but with a quiet resolve to die.
Her defiance infuriates him. Solas decides he won't kill her right away. Instead, he will break her will, torment her until she begs for death, and only then will he deliver the final blow. But as he begins his cruel game, Solas finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her resilience and strength.
In this battle of wills, who will emerge victorious—the god of the moon who wields power over the elements, or the mortal bride who refuses to bow to his wrath?

Chapter: The Search for SolasChapter 29Third POVElara ran her fingers through her damp hair, now freshly washed and braided, as she stood near the edge of the pond. The familiar sense of guilt still weighed heavily on her after the bath, and despite feeling physically renewed, her mind was troubled. She had made up her mind to apologize to Solas for her behavior the previous day, but now she couldn't seem to find him.Where could he be? she wondered as she glanced around the cavern.Pulling the simple, flowing dress she had found from the neatly folded pile onto her body, she felt a determination to put things right. Even though Solas had tormented her with his coldness and power, he had never gone beyond what she could handle. His care, hidden behind a mask of indifference, was becoming clearer now that she was rested and fed. She realized that she may have misunderstood him, and after all these centuries of isolation, maybe he, too, was struggling.“Solas?” she called, her voice soft at first, hesitant, then

Chapter: Shadows and SinChapter 28Third POVSolas sat in the corner of his dimly lit chamber, his eyes never leaving the form of Elara, who lay curled up in his bed. He had kept to the shadows, hidden behind the dark veil that cloaked him, but his gaze had not wavered, watching her sleep through the long, quiet hours of the night. Her chest rose and fell with each breath, soft little exhales escaping from her parted lips, and Solas found himself leaning forward slightly, almost without realizing it.She was serene, entirely at peace in her sleep. The lines of tension that had marred her face earlier were now gone, replaced by a sweet, almost innocent calm. Her brow furrowed occasionally, her lips curling into a faint smile at times, and Solas couldn’t help but wonder what she was dreaming about. Was it something pleasant? Was it him? The thought sent a shiver through him, one he couldn’t explain.Why am I so enamored by her?It was a question that had haunted him since the moment he laid eyes on her, and to

Chapter: A Glimmer of UnderstandingChapter 27Third POVElara awoke to a faint sliver of light filtering through the darkened cave, its soft glow reflecting off the still pond. She blinked, adjusting her eyes to the gentle shimmer as she slowly sat up, confusion momentarily clouding her thoughts. The last thing she remembered was collapsing into sleep, her body aching and sore from the torment of hunger and exhaustion. But now, as she stretched her limbs, she felt nothing but strength, as though the fatigue and pain had been swept away by some unseen force.She rose to her feet, expecting her muscles to protest, to feel the cold stiffness from sleeping on the hard stone slab. But there was none of that. No soreness, no discomfort. Just an overwhelming sense of energy coursing through her veins, as if she were somehow renewed.Elara frowned, running her hands over her arms, her brow furrowed in thought. How is this possible? She had been on the brink of collapse the day before, barely able to think straight, let alone fe

Chapter: Shadows of the PastChapter 26Third POVSelene sat atop her celestial throne, bathed in the pale glow of her moon as its silver light poured through the open arches of her ethereal home. She watched the waves below, feeling their pulse as they rose and crashed against the shorelines of a distant village. The tides were erratic tonight—wild, untamable—and no matter how hard she focused, she couldn’t subdue them. Her brow furrowed in frustration as she tried once more to ease the waters, her divine power coaxing them into serenity.But it was no use.A heavy sigh escaped her lips as realization settled over her. This wasn’t nature acting on its own. No, the tides were responding to something darker—someone darker. She clenched her fists as her suspicions grew certain.Solas.Her brother. The mere thought of him sent a bitter chill through her veins. It had been centuries since they had last crossed paths, but his presence lingered like a shadow on her realm, dark and consuming. He was still there, beneath

Chapter: Embrace of the AbyssChapter 25Third POVElara reveled in the hazy remnants of her fond memories, lingering on the comforting images from the village—the farmers’ market, the warm smiles exchanged over fresh produce, the laughter of children in the square. It was a fleeting moment of solace, a time when life was simpler and unburdened. But as she sank deeper into her slumber, those happy images began to fade, replaced by a chilling void.The darkness came swiftly, like a predator stalking its prey, creeping closer with every breath. Elara felt its weight pressing down on her, suffocating her. She couldn’t see, couldn’t hear—just the overwhelming sense of emptiness gnawing at her core. Panic surged through her as the shadows loomed closer, tightening their grip around her fragile form. Her body trembled in the dream, helpless against the suffocating abyss, her mind screaming for escape that never came.Just when she thought she could bear no more, a sudden wave of warmth enveloped her. It was like being wr

Chapter: Shadows of DesireChapter 24Third POVSolas stood in the shadows, his dark form barely distinguishable against the cavern walls. His eyes never left Elara as she lay on the cold stone slab, shifting restlessly. He watched her, his gaze sharp and unyielding, as she struggled to find sleep. The exhaustion was evident in every line of her body—her limbs heavy, her eyelids fluttering shut only to open again moments later.And yet, there was a stubbornness in her, a quiet resilience that refused to give in, even to the pull of sleep. Solas found himself intrigued, as he so often did when it came to Elara. What was it about her that made him linger in the shadows, watching her every move with such intensity?He had never been one for such idle curiosity. He had seen countless mortals, all of them weak in one way or another, succumbing to their emotions, their fears, their mortality. Yet there was something different about Elara. Something that made it impossible for him to turn away.Finally, after what seem

The Perfect Bond
"Look at you, all grown up and mature, son, opps sorry Alexander. Now, I'm your mother and I'll call whatever the hell I want and you my dear son, will not question it. And what did you say about patience? You are not patient, Alexander, let's start from here. Don't tempt me to inform Zane about this behavior of yours'." Mom states while eyeing my up and down.
Herr words were like a trigger for me and eventually the last straw of my control snapped as I gave in the burning rage. "Tell him whatever the fuck you want, Mother. If you want to loose your mate in a one on one duel, I don't see a problem because I'm not gonna loose mine in any fucking condition. Now,"

It is said that 'Patience is the key' but at times the wait is too long, long enough that we
stop waiting or maybe that's what the fate wants. Future is a mystery that would only unravel when we live it but what if that mystery destroys lives, lives that matter the most to you. Is it worth unraveling such mystery, such future? But then again can you stop time, stop the events that are bound to happen? The answer is NO but will that stop us from trying?

Chapter: Her ArrivalChapter 82Sara POVI walked into the silent packhouse and noticed most of the wolves have gone for training while the rest were busy in cooking. Since I had been wearing scent suppressors for the whole trip, nobody took a notice of my presence.Not wanting to alert everyone about my presence, I made my way to the top floor to meet Alex and his mate. I was just about to knock on his door when I heard my twin’s voice echoing in the silent hallway.“He’s in the infirmary with Zoey.”I turned around and nodded before walking to Lucas and giving him a hug like our usual greeting before asking him, “How have you been?”He pulled away from me and grinned. “I’m better now that Alex has found his mate.”I nodded at him and spoke, “I’ll check up on him and then see you later.”Lucas smiled and stepped aside for me while I walked to the elevator to reach the infirmar

Chapter: All in due time, BabyChapter 81Alexander POVI tightened my hold on Zoey firmly and pulled her in my embrace before asking, “What’s wrong baby?”Zoey just shook her head and continued to revel in my embrace but didn’t answer my question. I knew it won’t be easy to get her to open up to me about the matter since she was not even uttering a Yes or No. I rubbed my hand on her back and felt her relax in my arms before patting her head in a loving gesture and whispered, “IF you won’t tell me then I won’t know baby. Tell me what’s bothering you?”Zoey didn’t move a muscle at my question and I sighed knowing she doesn’t want to answer. I decided to drop the matter when her almost inaudible voice reached my ears. “I feel like a slut for jumping on you the first moment I got.”Her words were like a reality check to me and I closed my eyes for a second before saying, “You are no slut

Chapter: Do You Regret ?Chapter 80Third person POVAlexander kissed Zoey with all the passion he had while she responded just as fiercely, unknowingly craving his touch more than ever. She arched her back further while moaning out loud when Alexander nibbed on her lower lip and groaned when he felt her hard nipples rubbing on his chest through the thin hospital gown, she was wearing.At one point, Alexander felt the need to let her breathe because he could hear her heartbeat slowing down a bit. He let go of her swollen lips and moved to her jaw and neck. He didn’t stop to let her collect herself and soon she was moaning with a new passion as he sucked on her neck where his mark is supposed to be.He smiled smugly when he discovered her sweet spot and began scraping his canines on the area and felt her clutch his shirt tightly while trying to arch her back more. Once he was sure, he had given her enough time to fill her lungs, he again went to her lips and kissed her softl

Chapter: The kiss Chapter 79Alexander POV“Xander, it’s not like I don’t want you. I do, it’s just that I don’t want to be heartbroken.” I heard Zoey’s words and found myself smiling at her but I couldn’t bring myself to say a word.So, I did what I had wanted to do ever since she woke up. I pulled her in my lap and felt her body on mine. There were tingles everywhere our skin came in contact and I could hear her heartbeat like mine as it sped synching with mine.I stared in her blue eyes and got lost in them without another thought while she did the same. My arms wrapped around her waist in a possessive hold and brought her closer to me while not blinking my eyes as I was scared to miss her reaction.She had been just staring at me without any protest and I knew it was now or never. I leaned down slowly, giving her the time to back out from the awaiting kiss but she closed her eyes and craned her neck in my direction

Chapter: Angry Best Friend Chapter 78Zoey POVMy heartbeat raced as I laid beside Xander whose arms are still holding me tightly. He has asked me on a date some time ago and after that, we both have been laying silently in each other’s embrace. His embrace was like a protecting shield keeping me away from all the sadness and stress.I was busy reveling in his embrace when suddenly Emma’s face flashed in front of my eyes and I shot up from the bed with panic all over my face. Xander followed my lead and looked at my distressed state with concern. “Is everything alright?” He asked softly.I shook my head and turned to him, “No, Emily would be worried for me. She would have already gone nuts by now, I need to call her.” I told him and he had a confused expression on his face but nevertheless, he nodded.He then got off the bed and walked to the glass table and picked up his phone and came back. He handed me the phone and took h
