Blood and moonlight Chapter sixteen: shadows of the covenant
The scroll felt heavier than it should’ve. Not in weight—but in consequence.Even now, hours after the fire and the voice and the velvet-lined chest, Ava couldn’t unfeel the moment it was placed in her hand. It had hummed like it recognized her—like it had been waiting.She hadn’t even unrolled it yet.She didn’t need to.The moment the being spoke—“It is the truth”—her blood had turned to flame.She was walking beside Achi now, the forest darker than before, quieter too. But inside her? Roaring chaos.“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked gently.She shook her head, then stopped. “No. I have to talk about it. Just… I don’t know where to begin.”He gave her space.She held the scroll tighter, feeling the velvet slip between her fingers. “It said I was part of a creation pact. That Elias offered something to the gods in exchange for power, and that something… was me.”Achi froze. “You?”“I wasn’t born. I was crafted. Bound with bloodlines that were never meant to mix. I have vampire

The ash from the scroll hadn’t settled.It danced in the air around them, glowing faintly, refusing to fall—like time itself was holding its breath.Ava clutched the last unburnt edge of the scroll. It hadn’t vanished entirely. One final line had revealed itself beneath the flame, etched in ink that shimmered like starlight.Her voice was barely audible as she read it aloud:“Only the child born of blood and moon may cast the Binding of Aeon—a spell so ancient it can lock the gods beyond the veil of time. But such a spell demands more than power. It must be sealed by true love… or it will fail.”The silence that followed was deafening.Even the fire stilled.Achi took a slow step toward her. “The Binding of Aeon… that’s in the ancient book, isn’t it?”Darius nodded, his face pale. “It’s a spell older than any coven, older than any pack. It’s not just forbidden. It was lost.”“Not lost,” Ava whispered. “Hidden. And they never expected me to live long enough to find it.”She stood, her

The night air turned cold, but it wasn’t the weather that made Ava shiver. It was the truth unraveling inside her chest like a thread pulled too tight, ready to snap.Her boots crunched against the gravel as she came to a sudden stop, nearly causing Darius to crash into her from behind. Achi turned too, his golden gaze full of questions — and something deeper she wasn’t ready to name.“No,” Ava said sharply, holding up a hand. Her voice, once soft and unsure, now cracked like a whip through the night. “This isn’t right. I need to see Marcus. Now.”Darius blinked, startled by the raw command in her tone. For a moment, no one moved — even the wind seemed to hold its breath.Ava turned fully to face Darius, her eyes glowing faintly under the moonlight, a hint of her bloodline’s true power flickering to the surface. “Take me home,” she ordered, her words layered with an authority that couldn’t be ignored.“But Ava—” Achi started, stepping forward.She met his gaze, fierce and unrelenting.

The iron gates of the coven stayed closed behind them, cold and unmoving, but Ava didn’t look back.Her home was gone.Her people had turned their backs.Her father had cast her out like she was nothing more than a rebellious child.But standing between Marcus and Darius, feeling the weight of their loyalty, Ava realized something deeper than the ache in her chest:She wasn’t alone.Not anymore.Marcus squeezed her shoulder firmly. “We move forward,” he said, his voice low and steady.“No matter what’s waiting.”The moonlight slithered between the trees as they made their way into the wild, each step pulling them further from the life they had known — and deeper into the unknown.For hours, they traveled through dense woods. The night was thick, heavy, whispering things Ava could almost understand.Memories not her own flickered at the edge of her mind — strange ruins, ancient chants, a power so vast it tasted like lightning on her tongue.At last, Marcus stopped at a half-buried ston

Ava had made her decision.She would go back to meet Achi — but this time, not with Darius alone. Marcus would accompany her, standing as both her shield and her witness.No longer would she be paralyzed by fear.No longer would her father’s shadow weigh down her every step.This time, she would face her destiny head-on.The morning sky was heavy with clouds, a dull gray blanket pressing down on the earth. A sharp wind whipped through the trees, carrying with it the scent of rain and something older — something forgotten.As they journeyed toward the ruins where Achi waited, Ava drifted deep into her own thoughts.The world around her blurred, the rhythmic pounding of the horses’ hooves lulling her into memory after memory.She saw her father’s stern face, the cold halls of the coven, the endless warnings about werewolves and betrayal.But the strongest image was Achi’s — his steady gaze, his quiet strength, the way he made her feel seen when everyone else saw only a weapon or a weakn
Last Updated : 2025-04-29Blood and moonlight Chapter one :The Dead of Night
The house was too quiet when Ava rose from her seat near the fire. The embers crackled softly, the only sound in the grand hall. Pale moonlight bled through the stained-glass windows, casting red and violet patterns across the cold stone floor. She pulled her cloak over her shoulders, the fabric whispering as it slid across her skin. She needed air. A hunt. Something to sink her teeth into—literally. Her veins itched with hunger, and the stored blood in the cellar tasted like metal and regret. “I’m going out,” she said, turning toward the library where her father always sat at this hour. As expected, Lord Elaris was buried in a tome so ancient it looked like it might fall apart under his fingers. He didn’t glance up. “Where?” “The forest. I need a proper hunt,” she said. “There’s a herd of deer near the east ridge. I won’t go far.” “You’ve said that before,” he murmured, voice calm but sharp. “And came back blood-soaked, dragging a wild boar behind you.” Ava smirked. “That
Last Updated : 2025-04-22Blood and moonlight Chapter two :The Stranger’s Shelter
The forest was quieter than usual. Ava crouched low in the brush, fingers brushing the dirt. She could smell them—deer, maybe two. Young. Close. But something felt off. The wind carried another scent. Not prey. Not quite predator, either. She stood slowly, eyes scanning the trees. Moonlight filtered through the high canopy, bathing everything in silver. The woods here were older. Wilder. Some paths even the elders warned her not to cross. But Ava was not one for rules. She moved like shadow, barely stirring the undergrowth as she followed the trail. Her hunger had dulled—replaced by curiosity. Something was calling her. Not with words. Not even with sound. It was a pull. Deep and strange. That’s when she saw it. A house. No… a ruin. Tucked between thick oaks and strangled by ivy, it looked like it hadn’t been touched in decades. Its roof sagged. The wood had grayed. But the air around it was… different. Warmer, almost. She stepped closer, the boards underfoot creaking as she
Last Updated : 2025-04-22Blood and moonlight Chapter three: The Lies Between Us
The sky was already turning the color of ash when Ava slipped back through the manor gates. She moved fast, hood pulled low, cloak dusty from the forest floor. Her heartbeat still hadn’t settled. Not from the run… but from him. His eyes, those molten gold eyes—they’d burned into her soul. Every step away from that house felt like tearing herself from a place she didn’t realize she belonged. A place she should’ve feared. A place she now craved. The scent of blood wards and old stone greeted her as she crept into the main hall. Quiet. Empty. Good. “Ava.” She froze. Her father stood at the top of the staircase, arms folded across his chest. His eyes, sharp as ever, met hers. “You’re late.” “I—” She straightened, composing her face like a mask. “Lost track of time. The herd scattered.” He descended slowly, gaze narrowing. “Your uncle said you never showed.” Ava blinked. “He was… busy.” “With a maid?” Of course he knew. Lord Elaris stopped in front of her. “You didn’t wear prot

Blood and moonlight Chapter fifteen: the wolf’s domain
Ava had never known silence to be so loud.As the forest stretched out before them, cold wind brushing against her face, she clutched the cloak Marcus had draped around her before helping her flee. It smelled faintly of her mother — or at least, what Ava imagined her mother must’ve smelled like. Soft roses, and something heavier… like fate.Beside her, Achi rode without speaking. His jaw was tense, his eyes fixed on the path ahead, but his fingers occasionally brushed against hers on the reins. A small touch that said, I know you’re scared. I’m scared too.After what felt like hours, the forest broke into a moonlit clearing — and Ava saw it.A hidden valley tucked beneath the hills. Ancient trees rose like watchtowers, their bark glinting silver in the moonlight. Scattered between them were wooden cottages, built low to the ground, half-swallowed by moss and earth. She could hear laughter from one home, the clang of steel from another. It wasn’t the bloodthirsty werewolf den she had i
Blood and moonlight Chapter fourteen : the hybrid den
The trees parted like curtains as Achi pulled her into the heart of the forest. Ava barely had time to catch her breath before the air changed—thicker, warmer, and humming with a strange power. This was no ordinary land. It was living… breathing.A hidden world carved into the hills.At the center, ancient stones circled a glowing spring. Wolf sigils were etched into the bark of trees, their eyes gleaming like they were watching her.“This is sacred ground,” Achi whispered. “It’s been hidden for centuries.”She looked around, heart racing. “This is your home?”“No,” he said, turning toward a worn path. “This is where my kind learned to survive. My home is just beyond that ridge.”As they passed through the clearing, a dozen figures emerged from the shadows. Warriors—tall, strong, and silent. But their eyes didn’t turn to Achi.They turned to her.Ava’s steps slowed.“Why are they looking at me like that?” she asked under her breath.“Because they can feel what you are,” Achi said. “An
Blood and moonlight Chapter thirteen: Run with me
Moonlight cast silver shadows across the stone floor of the infirmary. Ava stood near the shelves of herbs and vials, her breath caught in her throat as Marcus wrapped the bandage on her arm.“I know you’re watching me,” she whispered.Marcus didn’t respond immediately, but his hand stilled. “I’m not like the others,” he finally said. “I’m not afraid of you.”“Then help me,” she said, turning to him fully. “I need to leave. Tonight.”His brows furrowed. “Ava—”“To meet him,” she whispered. “The one from the dreams.”Marcus sighed and looked away. “You don’t know what you’re walking into.”“I know exactly what I’m walking away from,” she said firmly. “Please. Just this once… choose me over him.”His silence was an answer.And then—he nodded.⸻They slipped through the tunnels beneath the west wall. Marcus handed her a black cloak as the wind howled above the trees. “This will mask your scent. For a while.”Marcus stood in the tunnel’s mouth as Ava looked back one last time.“If he betr
Blood and moonlight Chapter twelve : who am I
The days passed, but Ava could feel it—everything was changing.Guards she had grown up with now looked at her with distance. The doors that once opened freely were now locked. And Darius? He lingered too closely, not like a friend or protector—but a warden.Ava stood at the edge of the training courtyard, eyes narrowing as a familiar sword was taken from her hands.“Orders from Lord Elias,” one of the guards muttered. “You’re to suspend all training sessions.”“Why?” she snapped. “Because I had a dream?”The guard didn’t answer.Fuming, she stormed into the great hall. “Where is he?” she demanded. “Where’s my father?”“In his study,” Marcus answered quietly from the corridor.She turned to face him. “Then maybe you’ll tell me what the hell is going on.”He met her eyes, saw the storm in them, and nodded. “Come. We need to talk.”⸻The study was dark, books stacked like forgotten memories, candles burning low. Marcus poured a glass of red wine, but Ava didn’t take it.“I’m not thirsty
