Emily POV

Whoever disturbed us was going to die surely. Don’t underestimate the power of a horny she-wolf. We quickly swam ashore where our clothes were and put them on each running towards the cottage.

“Where is she, Deloris? Either you speak or I will continue killing every member of your hideous coven” We saw Priestess Azara and her members standing at the burning cottage with some of the witches slaughtered. Since she was looking for me I felt guilty for bringing trouble to these innocent people.

“I don’t know” the old witch replied and I guess this reply enraged the priestess as she signaled her minions and another witch was killed.

I couldn’t take it anymore and I wanted to run into the situation but Lucine stopped me.

“Wait who knows if she is not playing some tricks with us” he said in a voice lower than a whisper.

Suddenly we heard the rustling of leaves behind us and Tharros appeared. I was wondering where the old dragon was.

“It’s good that it's you , we were wondering wher

    Emily POV“Continue if you dare…….Beware of the truth……Beware ….for the truth will break you..” the voice went on repeating this warning and the more we went deeper the more it became sounding.“What's wrong Emily?” Tharros asked after seeing the pained expression on my face.“Can you hear the warning and the distorted voices?” I asked and everyone shook their heads signaling that I was the one looking at different things.“Right, I have finally realized what's happening. Guys, we will face a series of tests and probably our worst nightmares, and we need to survive the nightmares for us to move forward to the next round. For now, just know that whatever you see or hear is just an illusion, no matter how realistic it might seem,” Tharros said. The moment he finished, a huge dark cloud formed, and we lost each other.I walked softly and came across a different version of myself fully engulfed by a lunar power and destroying everything in my path.

    Emily POVI saw us standing in front of what looked like an old temple, with forms like ghosts and souls maneuvering unbothered by our arrival.“Thank you, Emily. If you had not reached out for me, I don’t know if I would have survived the nightmare.” Kiran came and hugged me, expressing his gratitude.“You are my mate after all and one of the main jobs or a mate is to look after your mate isnt it” I said and watched Lucien with a disturbed face.“Are you okay?” he coldly asked and came and looked for the wound on my hand but it had long healed on its own. One of my abilities I have recently discovered, when I get hurt I will quickly recover.“ Thank you,” he said and I think the nightmare made him remorseful again. I decided not to ask about the woman he was crying for.“Are you not going to ask me about what you saw?” his question threw me off balance.“Lucien being your mate means I trust you and care for you. I wouldn’t want to force you to talk about anything until you are ready

  • BLOOD AND MOONLIGHT   INTO THE SHADOWS

    Emily POVAs I gradually regained consciousness , a high-pitched sound echoed in my mind. The darkness was thick, inhumane, and absolute when my eyelids fluttered open. Where had I disappeared to?Where had I been taken? As I tried to adjust, I blinked and observed an insufficient glow flickering in the distance,the sole light source. My fingers scraped the rough stone as I crawled toward it, but before I could get there was a low, intimidating giggle resounding above me. The scene changed once again, and the air around me twisted.I muttered, "Please let me go," but no one replied. Nevertheless, I sensed them—eyes waiting, watching, lurking in the shadows. Then he showed up. The Harbringer. Once more.Cloaked in shadow, he floated out of the darkness like a ghost. I was unable to see his face. I was never able to. He was always covered in layers of cloth, as if he were hiding something too dreadful for me to see. Yet when did monsters start giving any thought about appearances? "

    Emily's POVThe longer I remain in this cursed land, the more I feel my sanity slipping. It’s as if the very air is laced with madness. But worse than the creeping dread is the question that haunts me: What if I fail the trials? What will become of me then?The last grain of sand dropped in the hourglass, and once more, the setting shifted.Now, I stood on soft pink fabric beneath my feet, delicate and oddly familiar. Beside me, as always, the Harbinger emerged from the shadows like a lurking specter."Congratulations, Emily. You passed your first trial," he said, his lips curling into a smirk. "But be warned—the further you go, the harder it gets. And remember—don’t trust anything you see. Memories lie." With that ominous chuckle, he vanished into the darkness.Another door appeared before me—tall, ancient, glowing with flickering strands of old magic. My hands trembled as I reached for it. Here goes nothing, I thought, grasping the cold handle and pushing it open.A gust of wind slam

Let her go through all of that alone?” I snapped, my voice louder than intended. “Tharros, we have to go in there—we have to save her from the Veil.”“You must understand,” Tharros said calmly, “the Veil is a place of illusions and deceit. Even if we could enter, there’s no telling what awaits us inside. Most who venture in never return. We have to trust that Emily is strong enough to face whatever trials lie ahead.”His words, meant to soothe, only ignited my frustration further.“I’m with Lucien on this,” Kiran added firmly. “Emily is our friend—our mate. We can’t just stand by while she faces danger alone. If there’s even the slightest chance she’s in trouble, I’d rather walk into the unknown than sit here with a restless heart, wondering if she’s still alive.”I glanced at him, seeing Kiran in a new light.

Now what? The Harbinger showed up like a wraith out of the darkness before I could even collect my thoughts, his voice as steady and icy as ever. "Emily, this is the Trial of the Body." The ground beneath me suddenly transformed, and I could feel my bare feet sinking into muddy, cold soil. I raised my head. I could see figures approaching. Not strangers. No. They looked like all of the enemies I had ever came across. It was she, the Princess Azara, who led them.She came straight at me, sword raised, her eyes glowing with a cold, cruel fire. The blade gleamed in the dark as she swung at me. I managed to duck, but not before it sliced off a lock of my hair.She looked exactly like the Priestess from the Blood Moon cult—same aura, same fury. No, this wasn’t a coincidence. This trial want

I inquired, becoming more confident in him every second. A change occurred between us, a mild release of the tension that had always existed. Things had started to change as they fought side by side.Lucien's words rested in the air, confusing me: "Rhaegos told me before he disappeared that when Emily returns, she won't be ours." It didn't make sense, but I knew enough about the magical world to know that this meant something significant. I looked at Tharros, who had an anxious look on his face.“It could mean a lot of things,” Tharros said, his voice tight with worry. “As I told you before, there are dark forces at play. If it’s what I think, we might be losing Emily.” He clenched his fists.“What are you thinking? Stop speaking in riddles, man,” I snapped, frustration rising in me.Tharros met my gaze, his eyes

We wait, obviously,” I said, moving toward my bookshelf. My fingers skimmed the aged spines until I pulled free a thick, dust-covered tome.I placed the ancient book on the wooden table and blew off the layer of dust. The musty scent of old pages and ink wafted into the air, oddly comforting. As I flipped it open, my fingertips brushed along the fragile paper until I found the section I needed.Rhaegos narrowed his eyes as he caught the title. “What are you doing with the Book of the Damned?”“What does it look like I’m doing?” I muttered, not looking up. “I’m seizing an opportunity.”“Opportunity? Does Maledicta know about this?” His questions came rapid-fire, his nerves clearly getting the better of him.“Of course she knows,” I replied sharply. “Do you really think I’d risk messing up her grand plan?” I contin
