Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The rebellion of the park
Melissa’s POVThe rumours were already spreading before I even went into the conference chamber. All heads turned to me as I pushed open the heavy wooden doors. I could feel the weight of their looks and the oppressive tension in the room.Someone whispered, "She's here."My legs felt heavy, but I forced myself to move forward. With his steady and comforting presence, Damon was at my side. However, he was powerless to stop what was about to happen.Gregor, an elder wolf, came forward. His eyes were as hard as stone, and his arm was bandaged from the training mishap. "Melissa," he stated in a firm, loud voice. "We must speak."I nodded and swallowed hard. "All right."Gregor started by saying, "You've guided us through some difficult times." But this—this is something else. The episode from yesterday demonstrated your loss of control. You pose a threat to us.A wave of murmuring went across the room, and I felt my heart drop.I trembled as I said, "I didn't mean to hurt anyone." "I'm e

Melissa’s POVThe clearing's air felt heavy as if the entire world had paused to listen. With their eyes focused on the unfamiliar man in front of them, the pack formed a tense circle. The presence of the messenger sent by the Void was poisonous.It was only partially human. Its eyes were two black pits that appeared to stare straight through me, and its grey skin was pulled taut over jagged bones. Its voice, like a serpent creeping into my ears, was frigid as it spoke.The emissary's tiny lips curled into a sort of smile as it said, "I come with an offer." "Your bundle is of no interest to the Void. It solely looks for the girl.A shiver went through my body. Everyone was aware of "the girl."Melissa? Gregor stepped forward and inquired, his voice a little shaky.The emissary turned to face me with a hollow expression and murmured, "Yes." The Void will spare the rest of you if you give her up. The army of the Void will destroy everything if you don't resist.There was a ripple of mur

Melissa’s POVThere was an uncanny silence in the air, and it felt heavy. I was in a huge, barren wilderness when I opened my eyes. Dark clouds swirled in the sky above, and shadows writhed across the ground like restless spirits. Soft yet icy whispers flooded the air, their words seeping into my brain like poison."Where am I? My voice sounded faint and unsure as I whispered.A voice in my head growled, "You know where you are."I tightened my fists and stepped forward unsteadily. Every step I took felt like I was slipping more into the Void's hold as the ground beneath my feet moved like sand. Images of my darkest memories suddenly flashed before my eyes.When I was little, I witnessed my father abandoning me.When my initial training failed, I heard the group laugh cruelly.Then I caught a glimpse of Damon's face. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but he was shouting."Stop it! I covered my ears and shouted. The murmurs, mocking me, became louder.Melissa, you're weak," the Void'
Last Updated : 2025-01-24Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate A battle of wills
Melissa’s POVThe black version of me moved closer, and I stood motionless, my chest heaving. Her voice was as cutting as a sword, and her eyes glowed with hate.With a sarcastic tone, she said, "Melissa, you can't run from me." "I am all that you are. Everything you have attempted to conceal.I ignored my hands' trembling and tightened my fists. "I'm not you. The Void made you into a warped reflection in order to shatter me.The sound of her laughter chilled me to the bone. Do you tell yourself that? Melissa, you have to face it. You've always been scared and weak. You have failed the people you care about because of this.I didn't let her realize that her remarks touched a nerve. Despite the storm inside of me, I answered, "You're wrong. I'm not weak." I've overcome every obstacle, and I'll do the same to you.She grinned, reflecting my own disobedience. She opened her arms wide and said, "Then show me." "Show me you're not the frightened young girl I see standing in front of me."S
Last Updated : 2025-01-25Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The void’s trap
Melissa’s POVIn the Void's realm, the air was oppressive, a mixture of ash and a bitter substance that stuck to my lungs. The ground beneath my feet wasn't firm; instead, it moved with every step I took, seemingly alive. All around me, shadows loomed, their forms bending and twisting as though they were observing me.I froze as I turned a corner in the never-ending darkness. Damon was standing there, hardly discernible in the gloom.His voice was tight with relief as he yelled out, "Melissa!" His boots crunched on the unfamiliar, shifting surface as he ran toward me."Damon!" I sprinted to meet him after gasping. When he finally got to me, he drew me into his arms and held me firmly.His voice trembled as he murmured, "You're okay." "I believed—I believed I had lost you."My chest ached with the weight of all that had transpired, so I held on to him. With my voice muffled against his shoulder, I murmured, "I'm here." "I'm all right. For the time being."Elissa!" I turned to see Liora

Melissa’s POVI was going downhill. As the emptiness drew me closer, the surroundings became a haze of shadows and blackness. As my heart raced in my chest, I made frantic attempts to hold on to anything in order to prevent myself from falling."Elissa!" Like a lifeline, Damon's voice broke through the confusion.He was leaning over the brink of the collapsing bridge with his hand out when I looked up. "Grasp my hand!"Like cold claws, the Void's grasp on my flesh was unrelenting. I grabbed for him, my fingertips grazing his, my arms hurting."I'm running out of patience!" With a quivering voice, I yelled."You can, indeed!" Damon snarled. His fingers closed around my wrist as he extended his reach deeper. "I've got you. You dare not let go.As soon as his fingers touched mine, the pressure drawing me down grew stronger. The Void itself seemed unwilling to let me leave."It's too strong, Damon!" I sobbed as I felt my hold loosen."I will not let you leave!" His voice was full of resol
Last Updated : 2025-01-25Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The anchor revealed
Melissa’s POVThe chamber was enormous, impossible to imagine in its vastness. Along the tall walls, shadows moved in strange and unexpected ways. The anchor of the Void hung in midair in the middle of the chamber. A bright crystal that pulsed with a rhythmic intensity, like though it were alive, was not what I had anticipated.I stepped forward gingerly while keeping my eyes on the crystal. "That's all," I muttered. "The anchor of the Void."Standing next to me, Damon narrowed his eyes and looked around the room. He mumbled, "And look at what's guarding it," pointing to the future.I froze, following his stare. Grotesque and twisted, shadow creatures prowled around the crystal. As like they already felt our presence, their bright crimson eyes were staring at us.Kael coldly remarked, "They're everywhere," as his palm clenched around his sword's hilt. "And it appears that they won't let us waltz in."Damon's voice was steady yet tight as he stated, "We'll have to fight them." "There i

Melisa’s POVI opened my eyes to find myself outside the chamber. Rather, I was at a location that felt... unbelievable. The stars were so close that I felt like I could touch them in the swirling silver and blue sky. The earth was firm enough to walk on, but it shimmered like water beneath my feet."Where am I?My voice echoed in the vast expanse as I whispered.From behind me, a gentle, melodious voice replied, "Child, you are in a space between realms."I froze, spinning around. In front of me was a glowing person whose presence was both reassuring and overwhelming. With her moon-like eyes and flowing silver hair, she was breathtakingly gorgeous. She exuded strength and warmth."The Moon Goddess," I exhaled, nearly collapsing."Yes, Melissa," she uttered softly, her voice a calming tune. "You've gone through a lot to get here."I stepped forward unsteadily. "What brings me here? Am I? Dead?"The deity gave a little smile. You are near the edge, yet you are not dead. You have been ma

Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate A forgotten love ,🙂a rewritten fate
Melissa’s POVThe sound of singing birds awakened me.My skin was touched by the warm air.The air was heavy with the aroma of flowers.I sat up slowly.Under a clear blue sky, I lay on a verdant meadow.It was all quiet.However, something felt off.I scowled as I looked about.Where had I gone?Had I not been... somewhere?Had I not been battling?My heart was squeezed against a faint aching.However, nothing came to mind when I tried to recall why.Nothing except emptiness.I inhaled deeply.Perhaps it was only a dream.I might have been dreaming.I forced myself to stand up and took a look around.I could see a small village beyond the grass.Red-roofed houses.Stores with wooden signs.People are grinning and laughing as they go down the streets.It felt... typical.As though this was how things had always been.Like there had never been any damage.With an oddly rapid heartbeat, I set off toward the settlement.I had no idea where I was heading.However, I felt that I was suppos
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate Rewriting fate
Melissa’s POVI was unable to sense my body.It was all spinning together, light and dark.Then suddenly—I stood.Damon was at my side.Above us, Aetherion hung, his golden radiance blinding.Our surroundings were collapsing.Aetherion declared, "This is over." Like a hurricane, his voice reverberated. "Your life is over now."I turned to face Damon.Determination blazed in his eyes.He made a move for my hand.Something inside of me stirred as our fingers connected.An emotion.One of the memories.Every life we have already led.The previous cycles.Our lost love.The fights we had engaged in.All of them remained within us.Energy surged through my veins, and I gasped.Damon's hold became more firm.He sensed it, too.Aetherion called forth golden light with his raised palm."Fate is unavoidable."Damon took a step forward."Observe us."The first to strike was Aetherion.A golden fire blazed in our direction.I raised my hands, and all of a sudden—A shield developed.Not me.Fro
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The last round
Melissa’s POVPower crackled in the air.I was immobile.I was having trouble breathing.Aetherion, the entity, was in front of us.He seemed unreal, like he was something incomprehensible, as his figure alternated between dazzling brightness and unending shade.His voice reverberated in the atmosphere."Everything must go in its intended direction."My heart was thumping in my chest."No," I said.Aetherion looked across to me.His eyes were power-filled emptiness.He remarked, "You have broken the cycle." "You have disregarded destiny. This is not acceptable.Damon was standing next to me, his fists clenched.Damon stated, "We didn't break the cycle." "We're working to make it better."Aetherion's head cocked.It was crushing to be around him.As if the entire cosmos were bearing down on us.He declared, "The cycle is not broken." "The cycle never ends. It is unchangeable.I gave a headshake."That isn't accurate," I stated. "We've witnessed it. We have experienced it. This is a jai
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The oath ignored
Melissa’s POVI was surrounded by a time-frozen environment.Trapped between the past and present, the royal room flashed.My former self was still standing there, observing me with icy, amber eyes.Damon gripped my hand.He said quietly, "Melissa, you must make a decision." "Should we maintain what we have or break the cycle?"I experienced heartache.I might lose Damon if I choose to end the cycle.Everything is gone, including our love and memories.But history would continue to repeat itself if we didn't.More suffering. More loss.Forever.My eyes welled up with tears.I said, "I don't want to lose you."Damon lightly touched my cheek."But you also don't want this curse to last."I balled my fists up.It was unfair.For what reason did love have to cost so much?I looked back at myself."You made the wrong decision," I said quietly, trembling. "I refuse to."My former self grinned."Then, let's test your strength."From her hands, a golden surge of power sprang forth.I let out
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate Facing the past
Melissa’s POVI felt the weight of the truth like a mountain.This cycle had begun with me.Everything: the suffering, the loss, the never-ending cycle of fate—I was solely to blame.My hands were shivering as I sat on the chilly stone floor.Damon had not returned.I was by myself thinking.And I heard the voice of my former self."You are unable to change who you are."No.That was not acceptable to me.I needed to figure out how to shatter this.However, how?I felt my heart thumping and gripped my chest."What should I do?" I said.A sorrowful, quiet voice answered."You have to make a decision."I pivoted.In front of me was the oracle.Time itself weighed heavily on her beautiful blue eyes, and her long silver hair flowed like water.I took a deep breath. "What do you choose?"She took a step forward."You have to rewrite the past to break the cycle," she stated.I scowled. "Rewrite?"She gave a nod."You have to take back what you did."My thoughts were racing as I blinked.Wa
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The prior life
Melissa’s POVDarkness.Then—A gentle wind.Slowly, I opened my eyes.Everything around me had changed.I was no longer in the temple.I was in a magnificent hall that was higher than anything I had ever seen. Overhead, I could see golden chandeliers glimmering across the marble floors. Strange symbols were engraved on tall pillars that lined the walls.I lowered my look to myself.My outfit was heavy, with gold embroidery and luxurious silk.My fingertips were coated in jewels.I wasn't myself.I let out a gasp. "Where am I?"Behind me came a strong voice."My Queen."I whirled—and stopped.Damon was standing there.However, he was... unique.He wore a platinum clip to secure his longer hair. His eyes were colder and darker. He was dressed in an armour-lined robe of gold and black that shone in the candlelight.Unreadable, he looked at me.I got a chill from something about him.He stepped closer and said, "Melissa," with ease. "Are you ill?"I stepped back. "I..."What should I hav
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The coming of age
Melissa’s POVThere was silence in the air.I was having trouble breathing.Damon's golden eyes were dimly gleaming as he stood in front of me.He remained still.He merely looked.Through me, not at me.I took a measured stride forward. "Damon?"No answer.His fingers twitched as if he were struggling with something inside of him, and his body tightened.Then all of a sudden—His body gave a powerful jerk.His breath came in rough gasps as he gripped his chest.Deep within him sounded a rumbling growl.I hurried over to join him. "Damon, what is going on?"His jaw was so clinched that it appeared painful when he shook his head.“I—” He gulped and clutched my arm as if it were a lifeline. It's excessive. I have no control over it.I could feel the heat rising beneath his fingers.He got burns on his skin.Despite my wince, I didn't back down.I begged, "You have to fight it."His breath became laboured. "I don't know who I am anymore, Melissa."Fear took hold of my chest."You're Damo
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate A heartbeat away
Melissa’s POV"Damon!" I shook him as I yelled.He was chilly. He breathed shallowly.“Remain with me—no, no, no!” Even when I applied pressure to his wound, his blood continued to flow.He hardly moved his chest. He fluttered his lashes.The world seemed to be sliding away from me.My voice broke as I said quietly, "You must wake up." "You said you would."Damon made a feeble attempt at a smile. "I'm exhausted, Melissa."I shook my head, "No." "You are not allowed to feel fatigued. You cannot abandon me.I gave him all of my energy in an attempt to heal him.My hands sparkled with golden light. However—It wasn't functioning.The injury persisted.His complexion became paler.I was in a panic.I made another attempt, pushing harder and using all of my remaining strength.Nothing."No," I said.In the wreckage of the temple came a slow laugh.The Harbinger watched from the shadows. Unmoved.With ease, he stated, "He cannot exist in this world." "His destiny has already been decided."
Bound by faith : the rise of a rejected mate The fury of the harbinger
Melissa’s POVAll around us, darkness swirled. With their hollow eyes shining dimly and their whispers filling the air, the lost souls emerged from the emptiness.I clenched my chest, attempting to ignore the unsettling whispers. Every syllable sent shivers down my spine like ice."I lost... I forgot. Doomed.Damon gripped his blade more tightly. "Remain close, Melissa."Like a tide of hopelessness, the lost souls glided toward us rather than walking. Their spectral hands grabbed for my flesh, and as soon as they made contact, memories that weren't mine exploded in my head.The scream of a lady.A fighter going down on his knees.It was an already lost war.I gasped and staggered back.Damon took hold of my wrist. "Hey, Melissa! What's the matter?With blurred eyesight, I gripped his arm. "These souls—they're more than just spirits." I trembled when I spoke. They resembled us. Warriors from earlier cycles.Damon tightened his jaw. "Then they didn't succeed."The closest lost soul scre
