Selene’s dagger flew through the air, slicing toward her brother’s second-in-command. He dodged at the last second, but the blade still nicked his cheek, drawing blood.“That was a mistake,” he growled.And then the fight erupted.The surrounding soldiers lunged forward, swords flashing in the dim firelight. Cassian was the first to move, blocking a strike meant for Selene. His blade clashed against the enemy’s, the force of the impact sending sparks flying.Varian pulled twin daggers from his belt and threw himself into the fray, moving with lethal precision. His knives found their marks, cutting through the chaos, but for every man he struck down, another took his place.Selene spun, dodging a sword aimed at her ribs. She countered, slicing across the attacker’s arm before slamming her knee into his chest, sending him sprawling. But the moment she caught her breath, another enemy was already upon her.The fight was relentless. And they were losing.A strangled gasp pulled Selene’s a

The forest was eerily silent as dawn crept closer, the sky shifting from black to deep violet. Selene sat near the fire, knees pulled to her chest, staring at the flickering flames. Elias’s words echoed in her mind.“You have until sunrise to decide.”She glanced at Ronan. He was unconscious, his breathing shallow. The fever had worsened. His wound—though bandaged—still bled sluggishly. If they ran, he wouldn’t survive long.A soft rustling broke her thoughts. Cassian crouched beside her, his golden eyes reflecting the firelight. “You’re not actually considering surrendering, are you?”Selene clenched her jaw. “If I don’t, Ronan will die.”Cassian’s expression darkened. “And if you do, we all die.”Varian, who had been sharpening his daggers nearby, let out a scoff. “He’s right. You know what your brother is capable of. You think he’ll let you live?”Selene inhaled sharply. Of course she knew. Elias didn’t offer mercy—he offered illusions. He wanted her back under his control, but he

The abandoned watchtower loomed ahead, its stone walls crumbling with age. The rising sun cast long shadows across the clearing, the air thick with anticipation.Selene stood at the center of the trap, every muscle coiled with tension. Cassian and Varian were hidden in the surrounding trees, ready to strike the moment Elias showed himself. Ronan, too weak to fight, had been left behind in their makeshift camp, much to his frustration.She exhaled, her fingers brushing the bloodstone tucked into her belt. It pulsed faintly, reacting to the growing danger.Then, the silence shattered.A line of dark-cloaked figures emerged from the trees, moving in eerie unison. Elias led them, his golden eyes gleaming with cruel amusement.“Little sister,” he greeted, his voice smooth as silk. “You always did know how to make an entrance.”Selene forced herself to stay still, meeting his gaze without flinching. “I’m here, just like you wanted.”Elias tilted his head. “And the bloodstone?”She pulled it

Selene’s heart pounded as she watched Ronan hold Elias off the ground with one hand.It wasn’t just strength. It was unnatural.Elias’s golden eyes were wide with something she had never seen before—fear.“Y-You’re…” he choked out, clawing at Ronan’s iron grip. “Impossible.”Ronan’s own eyes burned gold, his entire body vibrating with raw power. The air around him crackled, distorting like heat rising off a fire.Selene pushed herself to her feet, pain flaring in her ribs from the stab wound. This wasn’t right.Ronan wasn’t just stronger. He was different.She forced a step forward. “Ronan?”He didn’t react.Elias let out a strangled gasp, his face turning red as Ronan’s grip tightened.Selene’s pulse spiked.If Ronan killed him like this… would he even stop?“Ronan, let him go.” Her voice was firm but laced with fear.Still, no response.Cassian took a cautious step closer, his bow raised. “Selene… something’s wrong with him.”Ronan’s muscles tensed at Cassian’s voice, his golden eye

Varian’s breathing was too shallow.Selene pressed harder against his wound, but her hands were slick with his blood, and his skin was turning an ashen gray.“No,” she whispered, panic clawing up her throat. “Stay with me.”Cassian tore off a strip of his cloak and pressed it to the wound. “We have to move. He won’t last much longer.”Selene nodded frantically, but her mind raced. They were miles from any real help, and they had no healer, no supplies.Her stomach twisted.There was only one real option.“We need to get to the Whispering Hollow,” she said.Cassian’s head snapped toward her. “Are you insane?”Selene clenched her jaw. “There’s a healer there. A powerful one.”Cassian cursed under his breath. “Yeah, and it’s also a death trap.”Selene knew the risks. The Whispering Hollow was an ancient sanctuary, hidden deep in the forest. It was said to heal the wounded… but at a price.But right now? They had no other choice.She turned to Ronan—only to find him standing apart, his ha

“No!”Selene surged forward, but an invisible force slammed into her, knocking her to her knees.Ronan didn’t fight it. He stood still, his golden eyes locked onto hers as the Oracle’s magic tightened around him like unseen chains.The last thing she saw before he vanished was the small, broken smile on his lips.And then—he was gone.Silence followed, heavy and suffocating.Selene’s pulse pounded in her ears, her breath coming in ragged gasps as the Oracle turned to her.“The bargain is fulfilled,” the woman said, her voice eerily calm.Varian gasped behind her, his body arching as light engulfed him. His wounds knitted together, his breathing steadying.But Selene felt no relief.Ronan was gone.Cassian swore. “You—” He reached for his sword, but the Oracle simply lifted a hand, and he froze in place, unable to move.Selene clenched her fists, rage burning through her veins.“You took him,” she whispered, shaking with fury.The Oracle’s silvered eyes met hers unflinchingly. “He gave

Pain clawed through Ronan’s body, relentless and burning, as if something inside him was unraveling and reforming all at once. He clenched his teeth, every muscle taut, but the sensation only intensified. A raw heat surged through his veins, and beneath the agony, something else stirred—something unfamiliar.He forced his eyes open.The chamber was dimly lit, the stone walls damp and cold, but none of it registered beyond the weight of the chains binding his wrists. Not just iron. Enchanted. The silver glowed faintly, pulsing in time with his heartbeat, sapping his strength. He shifted, testing their hold, but the effort sent a wave of pain radiating through his bones.A shadow moved in front of him. Elias.“You feel it, don’t you?” His voice was almost gentle, edged with something like satisfaction. “The change taking root.”Ronan forced out a breath. “Go to hell.” His voice was rough, strained, like something raw had clawed its way up his throat.Elias chuckled. “You still think you

The fortress loomed before them, a black silhouette against the starless sky. Selene barely registered the danger—her entire being focused on one thing. Ronan. He was inside. Changing. And if she didn’t reach him soon, she might lose him forever.Cassian placed a firm hand on her arm. “Selene, slow down. This isn’t just some reckless fight—Elias wants you to rush in. We need a plan.”Her breath came fast, her pulse a frantic rhythm in her ears. “Then stay behind. I’m not waiting.”“You think I’d let you go alone?” His grip tightened. “You’re not thinking straight.”Varian took a step forward, eyes dark with something unreadable. “She’s not wrong. The longer we hesitate, the worse it gets.”Selene pulled free of Cassian’s grasp and unsheathed her dagger. “Then let’s move.”She sprinted forward, leaving them no choice but to follow.The fortress walls pulsed with enchantments—layers of protection designed to keep intruders out. But that wasn’t going to stop her. She reached out, feeling

The sky was painted with the deep shades of twilight as the moon rose higher, casting its ethereal glow over the land. The world felt suspended in time, as though everything had led to this moment—this decision. Selene stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind tugging at her hair, her thoughts as turbulent as the sea crashing below. The weight of the world pressed heavily on her chest. She had never imagined that the final choice would come down to this: the past, the present, and the uncertain future.Behind her, Ronan stepped closer, his presence as steady as ever, like a shadow that had been following her all this time, but never once imposing. His soft breath on the back of her neck made her shiver, but not from fear—more from the deep, unspoken connection that had been growing between them. It was real. It had always been real, even when she had denied it.“Selene,” Ronan’s voice was calm, but there was an edge to it, as if he too had been waiting for this moment to arrive. “You d
Moonbound desire Chapter 136:Danger Looming.
Selene’s heart ached as she stared at Kael, standing across from her, his face a storm of emotions. His eyes—once filled with a deep affection for her—now held a raw intensity that could have broken a weaker soul. She knew the hurt was there, the pain of her choice, and yet she couldn’t bring herself to change it.Ronan, standing just behind her, was silent, his gaze flickering between her and Kael. He had sensed the tension thick in the air since Selene’s confession, but the silence between them now was more deafening than any words could have been.“Kael,” Selene began, her voice trembling despite her attempts to remain strong. She took a tentative step toward him, but he recoiled, a flicker of something darker passing over his features.“Save it,” Kael snapped, his voice cold. “I get it. You chose him.” His hand clenched into a fist, and his body seemed to vibrate with the energy of the anger he was trying so hard to suppress. “But don’t think for a second that you’ve gotten rid of
Moonbound desire Chapter 135:A Broken Heart.
The night air hung heavy with unspoken words as Selene stood in front of the gathered group, her heart racing. Ronan stood beside her, his hand resting lightly on her arm, a silent show of solidarity. It had taken them days to come to this moment, the decision to make their relationship public. They could no longer hide the truth from the people closest to them. It was time to stop living in the shadows.Selene took a deep breath. She had always known this day would come, but that didn’t make it any easier. Her gaze swept over the faces of their group—Cassian, who had a concerned frown on his face; Varian, who was unusually quiet; and Kael, standing a little to the side. His expression was unreadable, but his body language spoke volumes. His arms were crossed, his eyes darkened with what she could only guess was a mixture of hurt and confusion.“I—I have something I need to say,” Selene began, her voice shaking slightly despite her best efforts to stay composed. “I’ve spent a lot of t
Moonbound desire Chapter 134:Bitter Confessions.
The sound of hooves pounding against the earth echoed through the forest, a rhythm that matched the tumultuous beating of Selene’s heart. The starlit night above them seemed distant and cold as the moonlight painted their path, glistening against the bloodstained earth beneath her boots. She had barely been able to keep up with the group, the pain in her side flaring every time she moved too quickly. But she had to keep going.They had faced the onslaught together, survived the siege—barely—but now, the battle was far from over. The deeper conflict within her burned just as fiercely. The weight of her indecision was suffocating.She could still feel the sensation of Ronan’s healing hands, the way his magic had wrapped around her wounds, his power infusing her with an energy that had been so foreign, yet so welcome. But it wasn’t just the healing that lingered. It was the touch, the warmth of his presence that made her heart flutter against her will. And then there was Kael—silent and
Moonbound desire Chapter 133:In Her Blood.
The clang of steel and the cries of battle filled the air as Selene stood at the front, her eyes scanning the chaos that had erupted on the battlefield. Her heart beat in rhythm with the violence, and though every instinct screamed at her to retreat, she stood her ground. Her people needed her. Ronan was by her side, his eyes fierce but weary as he struck down another of the invaders, his strength finally starting to wane. But he was determined, and Selene could feel his resolve fueling her own.“Stay close!” she called out, her voice steady despite the tension in the air. “We’re not losing this!”Kael, his movements swift and dangerous, rushed forward, cutting down an enemy soldier who tried to flank them. Cassian was close behind, his usual smirk replaced with a grim expression as he took charge of a separate line of defense. The air crackled with tension, every movement sharp, deliberate. The battle wasn’t just a fight; it was survival.Selene’s mind raced through strategies, calcu
Moonbound desire Chapter 132:The Siege Begins.
The air was thick with tension, every heartbeat echoing like war drums across the crumbling temple grounds. From her vantage point atop the weather-worn balcony, Selene watched the horizon darken—not with clouds, but with the approaching horde.The siege had begun.Below, Kael barked orders, still limping from his last encounter but determined to defend what little ground they had left. The allies they’d gathered—rogue wolves, witches who had once served in hiding, a handful of humans brave or foolish enough to fight—moved in hurried unison, preparing barricades and traps. But the numbers were not in their favor.Selene turned at the sound of approaching footsteps. Ronan stood there, quiet but intense, his gaze locked on the distant army.“They’re moving faster than expected,” he said. His voice was steady, but Selene caught the flicker of tension behind his eyes. “Your brother isn’t wasting time anymore.”“Elias never did,” she murmured, jaw clenched. “But he’s more desperate now. He
Moonbound desire Chapter 131:Torn Between Two.
The forest still echoed with the chaos they had barely survived. Selene’s hands trembled as she clutched Kael’s shoulder, his blood staining her fingertips. The kiss they had shared—born of desperation, confusion, and something deeper—still lingered between them like a ghost. But it was the man standing just beyond them, cloaked in shadow and moonlight, that stole all the air from her lungs.Ronan.He was bare-chested, panting, blood smeared across his chest, his golden eyes still glowing faintly with the remnants of his transformation. Fury burned in their depths, but so did heartbreak. And betrayal.“Ronan…” Selene’s voice cracked. She took a step toward him but stopped when he flinched ever so slightly, his jaw clenching.Kael groaned beside her, struggling to sit upright. “You know him?” he asked, voice raw.Selene didn’t answer.Ronan took a step forward, his gaze locked on Kael, who still lay weakened on the forest floor. “You kissed him.”It wasn’t a question. It was an accusat
Moonbound desire Chapter 130:Reunion Or Ruin.
The air crackled with tension as Selene stood before the two men—Kael, weak and recovering, his breaths shallow, and Ronan, standing tall and cold, a shadow of the man she once knew. Her heart hammered in her chest, a storm of emotions crashing inside her. Ronan’s gaze was hard, his jaw clenched tight. His return was unexpected, but now that he was here, everything had changed.Selene stood frozen, her hand still resting on Kael’s shoulder, her eyes wide in disbelief. Her mind couldn’t catch up with the scene unfolding before her. The man she had thought lost forever was here, standing just feet away from her, though so much had changed. So much had happened.Ronan’s cold eyes scanned her, the expression unreadable. For a moment, it was as if the world had come to a standstill. The fierce urgency of the battle, the destruction surrounding them, even Kael’s ragged breaths, all faded into the background.“Ronan…” her voice barely a whisper, barely a breath of air escaping her lungs. Her
Moonbound desire Chapter 129:The Unexpected Return.
The air was thick with tension as Selene crouched beside Kael, trying to steady her breath. The sound of pounding footsteps echoed through the dense forest, growing louder with each passing second. She could hear the snarls of the enemies, their vicious growls almost drowning out the rhythm of her heartbeat. Her body ached from exhaustion, but she pushed through the pain, desperate to protect herself and Kael.“Kael…” she whispered, her voice hoarse with fear. “We need to move. They’re coming for us.”Kael’s eyes, once fierce and filled with fire, now flickered with weariness. He was still partially transformed, the edges of his wolf-like features barely visible beneath his skin. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he stood, leaning heavily on the tree beside him.“I’m… not sure how much longer I can keep this up,” Kael admitted, his voice strained. “But we have to hold them off… for a little longer.”The ground trembled as the enemies drew nearer, their presence like an overwhelming shad
