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

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

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

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

The night was quiet, but the air held a strange charge—as if the stars were holding their breath.Ava sat beside Achi, her eyes fixed on the wound stretching across his side. Crimson soaked through the bandages Marcus had wrapped, and despite his hybrid blood, the injury hadn’t closed. Her fingers trembled as she reached out, gently brushing the edge of the cloth.“Where did you get this?” she asked, her voice low, uncertain.Achi didn’t flinch. “I fought with the beasts,” he said. “Their blades weren’t ordinary. They cut deeper… like they were made to remember.”Ava frowned. “But you’re not supposed to bleed like this.”“They were old. Cursed, maybe. Their metal stung like it knew what I was.”Something twisted in her chest—fear, yes, but something else too. A knowing.Without another word, she unsheathed a dagger from her side, pricked her thumb, and let her blood fall into the open wound.It hissed.And then—Her world shifted.The firelight vanished. The earth beneath her feet dis
