The night was quieter than usual, though silence had never felt so loud. I slipped out of the shelter, careful not to wake Rigel. His protective instincts were getting worse, his watchful eyes tracking my every move as if he expected me to vanish into thin air. Maybe I would, at least for tonight.

Lyra’s cryptic warnings had been haunting me, her voice looping in my head like a broken record. The bond is accelerating, Daniel. You don’t have much time. I had to know more, even if it meant going behind Rigel’s back.

I found her waiting for me near the edge of the forest, her figure blending into the shadows like she belonged there. “You’re late,” she said, her voice sharp but not unkind.

“Had to make sure I wasn’t followed,” I replied, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets. The air felt heavier out here, like the trees themselves were holding their breath.

She smirked, her dark eyes glinting in the moonlight. “Still scared of him, aren’t you?”

“Rigel’s not the problem,” I shot back, t

    The tension had been building for days, a silent storm brewing just beneath the surface. I didn’t notice Adrian until it was too late. He emerged from the shadows of the abandoned shelter, his face a mixture of anger and disbelief.“You’ve been meeting with her,” he said, his voice tight, like he was barely holding it together.I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. “Adrian, I can explain—”“You went to Lyra.” His tone sharpened, cutting through my words. “You trusted her over us. Over me.”The accusation stung more than I wanted to admit. “It’s not like that,” I shot back, my voice rising. “I just needed answers, Adrian. Answers no one else was giving me.”“You didn’t even give us a chance!” he snapped, stepping closer. His usual warmth was gone, replaced by something colder, more volatile. “Do you have any idea how dangerous she is? Or are you so desperate to escape this that you’ll make a deal with anyone who promises you freedom?”“That’s not fair,” I said, my chest tightening. “

  • Bound To My Protector Mate   Torn between love and Duty

    The tension in the room was unbearable, a suffocating silence that neither Adrian nor Rigel dared to break. I stood between them, feeling the weight of their expectations pressing down on me. It wasn’t just a choice they were demanding—it was everything. My life. My heart. My soul.Rigel was the first to speak, his voice quieter than I expected but no less firm. “Daniel, you need to decide. You’ve seen what’s coming. You’ve seen what this bond can do—for both of us. But if you don’t embrace it, you’re putting everything at risk. I can’t keep fighting for you if you won’t fight for us.”There it was: his ultimatum. Stay with him and give in to the bond completely, or lose his protection forever. The words sank deep, cutting me in ways I didn’t even know were possible.I opened my mouth to respond, but Adrian stepped forward, his presence both comforting and unnerving. “Don’t let him manipulate you,” he said sharply, though his eyes softened as they met mine. “This isn’t about protectin

  • Bound To My Protector Mate   A grim decision

    The underground hideout echoed with the clang of weapons and the murmur of voices, a constant hum of preparation and resistance. Lyra moved fluidly beside me, her blade slicing through the air as she demonstrated another technique. “Focus, Daniel,” she said, her voice sharp but not unkind. “If you hesitate, you’re dead. The protector and the rogue leader won’t wait for you to decide what you want.”Her words stung, but I couldn’t argue. She was right. My indecision had already cost too much—Selene, the sanctuary, the fragile trust between those I cared about. I had to be ready for what was coming, no matter the cost.Gripping the hilt of my blade, I lunged forward, mimicking Lyra’s movements as best as I could. My body ached, muscles protesting against the strain, but I pushed through it. The mark on my arm throbbed faintly, a constant reminder of the power I still didn’t fully understand.“Again,” Lyra commanded. Her eyes, piercing and unyielding, bore into mine. “You’re holding back

    The underground chamber buzzed with the low hum of voices and the occasional clang of weapons, but all of it faded when I heard Rigel’s voice behind me.“Daniel, we need to talk.”I froze mid-swing, the wooden training staff slipping from my hands. Lyra shot me a sharp glance, but I ignored her, turning to face Rigel. His expression was a storm of fury and desperation, his jaw clenched tight as his dark eyes locked onto mine.“This isn’t the time, Rigel,” I said, trying to steady my voice. The tension between us had been unbearable ever since he’d discovered my alliance with Lyra, and I wasn’t sure I had the strength to handle another confrontation.“Oh, it’s the time,” Rigel said, stepping closer. His presence filled the room, overwhelming and suffocating as always. “You’re working with her behind my back. Training to destroy something you don’t even understand.”“Destroy?” Lyra interjected, her voice dripping with mockery as she stepped forward. “I think you mean freeing him from th

  • Bound To My Protector Mate   A vision of betrayal

    The nights had grown heavier since Lyra’s revelation, the weight of her words sinking deeper into my chest with every passing hour. Sleep wasn’t an escape anymore; it had become a battlefield. Each time I closed my eyes, the mark on my skin pulsed, pulling me into dreams—or perhaps memories—that felt too vivid to ignore.I saw Rigel. His face was shadowed, and his movements deliberate as he knelt before the rogue leader. The man loomed over him, his expression triumphant, his hand extended as if sealing an unholy pact.“You’ve done well,” the rogue leader said, his voice reverberating like thunder. “Bring him to me, and you’ll get what you’ve always wanted.”Rigel didn’t speak, but his silence screamed louder than words. His head dipped in what looked like submission, and my stomach churned. The image shifted, showing him walking away from the rogue leader with an expression I couldn’t read. Was it guilt? Determination?“Rigel,” I whispered in the dream, my voice breaking. He turned,

    The morning light barely filtered through the cracked windows of the underground hideout. The air was thick with tension, making it hard to breathe. Daniel sat against the cold stone wall, his fingers absently brushing over the glowing mark on his arm. It hadn’t dimmed since his nightmare, serving as a constant reminder of the chaos brewing both within and around him.Adrian sat across from him, his face shadowed by exhaustion and something deeper—an unspoken urgency. The silence between them stretched, heavy and loaded, until Adrian finally broke it.“Daniel,” he began softly, leaning forward. “You don’t have to do this.”Daniel’s gaze snapped up, confused. “Do what?”“Stay here,” Adrian said, his voice gaining strength. “Stay trapped between Rigel’s obsession, Lyra’s schemes, and this damned prophecy. None of this is your fault, and you shouldn’t have to carry it.” Daniel frowned, the weight of Adrian’s words pressing against the doubts swirling in his mind. “What are you saying?”

    The archive was eerily silent, the weight of centuries pressing down on the air as Lyra sifted through dusty tomes and crumbling scrolls. Daniel sat on the edge of a stone bench, his mind swirling with questions. The flickering torchlight illuminated the cavernous room, casting long shadows across the walls etched with ancient symbols.“This is it,” Lyra murmured, her fingers trembling as she pulled an aged leather-bound book from the pile. The gold lettering on the cover glimmered faintly, resisting the passage of time.“What does it say?” Daniel asked, standing abruptly.Lyra hesitated, flipping through the pages with deliberate care. Her brow furrowed as her eyes scanned the faded text. Finally, she looked up, her expression grim. “It’s worse than I thought,” she admitted.“What is worse?” Daniel pressed, frustration edging his voice. “What does it say about me?”She took a deep breath and met his gaze. “You’re not just the key to power, Daniel. You’re a weapon—a weapon capable of

    The chamber pulsed with an eerie, otherworldly light, casting long shadows that danced along the walls. The glowing inscriptions seemed alive, shifting and twisting as though they were conscious of Daniel’s presence, pulling him deeper into their mysterious embrace. He stood rooted in the center, transfixed by the altar that had laid bare his grim destiny. Every instinct screamed at him to turn away, to flee this haunting place, but an inexplicable force kept him tethered, unwilling to let go.Behind him, the air shifted, a tangible tension that hinted Rigel was approaching. Daniel could practically feel the anxiety radiating off him, coiling like a taut wire ready to snap.“Daniel,” Rigel’s voice broke through the intensity, soft yet urgent, like a plea meant to coax a frightened animal from its den. “You don’t have to do this. Whatever this place is revealing to you... it’s not worth the price of your soul.”Just turning his head felt like a monumental task. Daniel fixed Rigel with

    A Desperate SearchRigel couldn’t rest.Sleep was impossible when Daniel was still out there, trapped in the clutches of an ancient evil, slipping further and further away from who he once was.The world had already turned against him. The supernatural council had issued its final decree—Daniel was too dangerous to live.Every faction, every warrior, even supposed allies, whispered the same thing:“He’s lost. He’s gone. If you try to save him, you’ll die with him.”Rigel didn’t care.He had never cared about the odds.Because this wasn’t just about saving Daniel’s soul. It was about the truth.And the visions Daniel had been having—the ones of his past life, of his former self being betrayed—meant something far greater was at play.Someone had orchestrated all of this before.Someone had betrayed Daniel once before.And they were still here.Still close.A Hidden Trail of LiesThe answer had to be in the records.Rigel had spent hours, days, poring over ancient texts, searching for an

    Falling into the AbyssDaniel was drowning.Not in water, but in darkness.It pulled him down, suffocating, smothering his thoughts, his memories, his very sense of self. He could no longer tell where his body ended and the ancient evil began. He was weightless, yet trapped, caught in a current he couldn’t escape.It whispered to him—soft, coaxing, like silk against his skin.“Stop fighting, Daniel.”“This is who you were always meant to be.”He gritted his teeth, pressing his hands against his temples.“No,” he rasped. “I won’t—”Pain exploded through his skull.Visions surged before his eyes like a thousand shattered mirrors, each shard reflecting a different version of himself. A different past.And then—he wasn’t Daniel anymore.The Past That Wasn’t His… Or Was It?The world shifted, and suddenly, he stood in a grand hall bathed in golden firelight.Marble pillars stretched toward a domed ceiling, intricate carvings of celestial symbols glowing faintly.

    A Line Drawn in BloodThe world had never felt colder.Rigel stood at the center of a battlefield that was seconds away from plunging into chaos.Daniel, the man he loved, the man who had once fought beside him, now stood against him, shadowed by an army that had pledged themselves to darkness.Behind Rigel, the council’s warriors—shapeshifters, sorcerers, and celestial beings—were ready to strike Daniel down at the first command.And Rigel knew.If he didn’t stop this war now, they would try to kill him.“Step aside, Rigel,” one of the council leaders commanded, voice sharp as a blade. “Daniel is no longer the man you knew. He has chosen his side.”Rigel’s hands curled into fists.“Then you’ll have to go through me first.”A ripple of silence spread through the battlefield. Disbelief. Shock. Even Daniel tilted his head slightly, as if trying to understand what Rigel had just done.“You don’t have to die with him,” another warrior spoke, her voice laced with urgency. “This isn’t your

    The world felt wrong. Something had shifted—something irreversible. The moment the temple fell into darkness, the supernatural world knew. Across realms, in the deepest corners of the world where shadows whispered secrets, the air changed. Something new had awakened. Or rather—something very, very old. The council was the first to sense it. The moment Daniel disappeared, the High Seers’ sacred flames went out. The oldest vampires found their blood turning cold. The fae felt the balance of magic shift. Even the rogue leader, miles away, staggered, clutching his chest as the dark power he had once served was drowned out by something much greater. Something he didn’t recognize. For the first time in centuries, the supernatural world was unified—not by alliances, not by treaties, but by a singular, overwhelming terror. Daniel was gone. And something else was in his place. Rigel’s Desperation “Bring him back!” Rigel’s voice was raw, hoarse from shouting. He was still kne

    Daniel had never felt so clear-headed. So strong. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, he wasn’t drowning in fear or doubt. He wasn’t fighting against something he couldn’t control. He was the control. Power thrummed through his veins—dark, intoxicating, and endless. He could feel the ancient force within him, guiding his steps, sharpening his thoughts. He stood at the head of Veyron’s army, gazing down at the battlefield stretched before him. A sea of supernatural warriors stood at the ready—creatures of the night, rebels who had long abandoned the council, and shadows that slithered through the ground like liquid death. And yet, despite their numbers, Daniel knew exactly where his eyes were drawn. Rigel. Standing defiantly, sword in hand, eyes burning with something painfully familiar—love and fury, hope and heartbreak, all at once. “Daniel,” Rigel called, voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “You don’t have to do this.” Daniel tilted his head, taki

    The Moment of SurrenderDaniel didn’t struggle.The moment he let the darkness swallow him whole, a cold, terrifying stillness settled over his body. It wasn’t painful. It wasn’t violent.It was acceptance.For weeks, he had been fighting—clawing, screaming, breaking—trying to hold on to something that was never meant to last. Trying to fight a war he had already lost.But this?This was peace.Veyron stood beside him, an eerie smile curling at the edges of his lips.“Finally,” he murmured. “You understand.”Daniel turned his head slightly, catching a glimpse of Rigel in the distance. He could still hear the echoes of his voice—pleading, furious, desperate.“Daniel, please!”But it was too late.The choice was already made.Daniel let out a slow, steady breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again—they were completely black.Rigel’s DevastationNo.This wasn’t happening.Rigel’s hands were shaking. His lungs burned.

He couldn’t breathe.Daniel’s voice was distant, panicked, but Rigel couldn’t focus on anything except the burning pain in his lungs.Veyron was going to kill him.The realization sent a violent surge of magic through Rigel’s veins.With sheer, desperate willpower, he twisted his hand in a cutting motion, summoning a burst of white-hot energy. It shattered the unseen hold on his body, and he dropped like a stone, coughing violently.Before he could recover, a shadow loomed over him.“You’re persistent,” Veyron murmured, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “I respect that.”Rigel spat blood onto the ground and forced himself up, his entire body aching. “Go to hell.”Veyron simply smirked. “Oh, I plan to. And I’m taking Daniel with me.”Rigel’s chest tightened. His heartbeat was loud, deafening. He turned his gaze toward Daniel—who hadn’t moved.He was just standing there.Frozen. Shaken.

    Daniel sat in silence, his hands gripping the arms of the stone chair as the council’s voices echoed through the grand chamber. The walls of the ancient hall loomed around him, adorned with tapestries depicting wars, betrayals, and supernatural history—stories that now felt disturbingly familiar in his mind. Because this wasn’t just history. It was his history. And Rigel’s. He risked a glance at Rigel, who stood beside him with his arms crossed, his jaw clenched so tight it looked like it might shatter. He hadn’t said a word since Daniel had told him the truth—about the vision, about their past, about the curse that seemed to wrap around them like an inescapable noose. And Rigel was terrified. Not of Daniel. But of losing him. The council members, seated in a crescent of towering thrones, spoke in low, urgent tones. “If he was a danger then, he will be a danger now.” “The prophecy has warned us time and time again—his existence alone could tip the balance.” “Can he truly r
