Moonbound desire Chapter 42:Dark Reckoning.
Selene’s heart shattered as Ronan lunged.She barely had time to move before he was on her—his strength unnatural, his speed terrifying. The Ronan she knew was gone, replaced by a predator. His blackened eyes locked onto hers, his breathing ragged.“Ronan, stop!” she cried, dodging at the last second.His claws—claws, not hands—sliced through the air where she had just been. He hit the stone wall with inhuman force, cracks spiderwebbing across the surface.This wasn’t just some mind trick. This was real.Ronan’s body trembled, his fingers flexing as if fighting against himself. For the briefest moment, his lips parted—Selene…Then he snarled and attacked again.Selene gritted her teeth, her mind racing. She couldn’t fight him. Not like this.Think, Selene. You need to reach him.Elias’s laughter cut through the chaos. “He’s magnificent, isn’t he?”Selene spun toward him, rage surging through her. “What did you do to him?!”Elias smirked. “I simply revealed what was always inside him.

Ronan lay still, his breathing slow, but the darkness hadn’t left his eyes. The faint red flicker in his irises sent a chill through Selene. She refused to believe he was lost, but something inside him had changed—something Elias had left behind.Selene knelt beside him, her hands trembling as she brushed damp strands of hair from his face. “Ronan, it’s me,” she whispered. “You’re safe.”His grip tightened on her wrist, not in aggression but as if he was holding onto the last bit of himself. His voice was hoarse, raw. “You should have left me.”Selene’s heart clenched. “Never.”Cassian scoffed from behind them. “You’re too blind to see it, Selene. He’s dangerous now.”Selene turned sharply. “He fought against it. He never gave in.”Cassian’s jaw clenched. “He almost killed you.”Ronan flinched, and for the first time since waking, his eyes dropped, his entire body tensing. He remembered.Selene softened. “That wasn’t you, Ronan.”His expression twisted in pain. “Wasn’t it?”Silence st

Selene’s breath came fast and shallow as she stared at Ronan—or what was left of him.His eyes, once filled with fire and defiance, were now bottomless pools of black. Shadows curled around his fingers like living creatures, slithering over his skin. The air around him felt wrong—heavy and suffocating.She stepped forward, voice barely above a whisper. “Ronan?”He tilted his head, studying her as if she were a stranger. “Selene.”A cold shiver ran through her. His tone was eerily calm, almost… amused.Cassian shifted beside her, blades at the ready. “That’s not him anymore.”Selene’s stomach clenched. “I don’t believe that.”Cassian exhaled sharply. “We don’t have time for this.”“Shut up, Cassian!” she snapped, eyes locked on Ronan. “I know you’re still in there. Fight it.”Ronan took a step closer, his boots silent against the cave floor. “Fight it?” His lips curled into something resembling a smirk. “You don’t understand, do you?”Selene’s pulse pounded in her ears.“Understand wha

The world still smelled like smoke and magic.Selene’s body ached as she stumbled forward, her knees nearly giving out beneath her. The night air was cold against her sweat-dampened skin, but she barely noticed. All she could see was the lingering image of Ronan’s blackened eyes, the cruel smirk on his lips as he let them escape.He let them go.Cassian’s firm grip yanked her back to reality. “You’re slowing down,” he growled. “We can’t stop here.”Varian, still weak from casting the teleportation rune, wavered beside them. “We need to—” he coughed, “—get to cover. If Elias’s men tracked us, we won’t last long out in the open.”Selene didn’t care.She twisted out of Cassian’s grip, turning back toward the shadowed landscape they had just escaped from. “We have to go back.”Cassian’s expression darkened. “No.”Her heart slammed against her ribs. “Ronan is still in there! You saw it—he told me to run. He’s fighting it.”Cassian exhaled sharply, stepping closer until his face was inches

Selene’s eyes fluttered open, but the moment she did, an overwhelming sensation of cold metal pressing against her skin sent a jolt through her body. Her hands were bound, wrists tightly secured to a rough stone wall. The coldness of the dungeon seeped into her bones, and the faint scent of damp earth filled the air.She was trapped.The familiar pull of magic twisted in the air, and she knew immediately she wasn’t alone. She forced herself to sit up, her legs unsteady as the chains clinked against the stone. The dark shadows clung to every corner, making it hard to see clearly. It was as though the very walls were suffocating her.Her breath quickened when her eyes finally landed on the figure standing near the entrance—a figure she knew all too well.Ronan.He was standing at a distance, his back straight, his posture as rigid as stone. His dark hair fell over his forehead, and his once-bright eyes now seemed hollow, distant. The warmth that once radiated from him felt like a dista

Ronan knelt on the cold stone floor, his wrists bound in iron shackles, his body bruised and bloodied from the relentless torment Elias had inflicted upon him. But his golden eyes burned with defiance, refusing to yield.Selene struggled against the guards holding her back, her heart pounding wildly. She had never seen Ronan so vulnerable before, yet the fire in his gaze remained unbroken.Elias circled him like a predator savoring its prey. “You could make this easier, Ronan,” he mused, voice laced with mock concern. “Pledge your loyalty to me, and I’ll spare you this suffering. Or would you rather continue bleeding for a lost cause?”Ronan lifted his head, spitting blood onto the floor at Elias’s feet. “I’ll never bow to you.”Elias sighed dramatically. “So stubborn. But you see, I don’t need your cooperation. I just need to find the right pressure point to break you.” His eyes flickered toward Selene. “And I believe I already have.”Selene’s stomach twisted as Elias strode toward h

Cassian stood in the doorway, his silhouette framed against the flickering torchlight. His sudden arrival sent shockwaves through Selene’s body, a mix of fury and disbelief tightening in her chest. She had trusted him once—only to be betrayed. And now, he was here again, standing beside Elias as if he belonged there.Ronan tensed beside her, his body weakened from Elias’s magic, but his eyes burned with raw hatred. “You,” he rasped. “You son of a—”“Save your breath, Ronan,” Cassian cut him off, stepping closer. His face was unreadable, but there was an urgency in his voice. “I’m here to help.”Selene clenched her fists. “Help?” she spat. “After what you did? After you sold us out?”Cassian’s jaw tightened. “If I hadn’t, you’d be dead.” His gaze flickered toward Elias, who watched the exchange with an amused smirk. “I made a deal to stay close to him, to keep you alive long enough for this moment.”Elias chuckled. “And yet, dear Cassian, I wonder—whose side are you really on?”Selene’

The fire flickered weakly, casting jagged shadows across the cave walls. Selene knelt beside Ronan, her fingers trembling as she pressed them against his burning skin. His breath came in short, ragged gasps, his body locked in the grip of something unnatural. Dark veins, pulsing like poisoned roots, crawled up his neck, vanishing beneath the collar of his tunic.“Ronan,” she whispered, shaking him slightly. His eyelids fluttered, but he didn’t respond.Cassian crouched nearby, his expression grim. “It’s getting worse.”Selene shot him a glare. “I know that.”Cassian didn’t flinch. “We need to do something now. This isn’t just a wound—Elias cursed him.”Her pulse pounded. “Cursed?”Cassian nodded, his gaze dark. “If we don’t act fast, Ronan won’t be Ronan anymore.”Selene’s grip on Ronan tightened. His body twitched, his muscles locking as if something inside him was trying to claw free.She had seen dark magic before. The way it twisted its victims, leaving nothing of their former sel

The silence that followed the distant rustle in the trees hung heavily between them. Selene’s heart hammered against her chest, her breath shallow as she strained to catch any further sounds of movement. The eerie calmness was suffocating, but the feeling of being watched was undeniable. Every nerve in her body screamed for action.Ronan’s grip tightened on the hilt of his sword, his body stiff with alertness. He glanced over at Selene, his brow furrowed in concern, but his voice was steady as he whispered, “We’re not alone.”Cassian, too, had drawn his blade, his eyes flicking around, scanning their surroundings with sharp precision. “It’s not just the wind,” he muttered, his tone laced with frustration. “There’s someone—or something—out there.”Selene swallowed, forcing herself to meet Ronan’s gaze. Her pulse raced, but there was no room for fear. Not now. Not when they were so close to finding the answers they needed. But something about the tension in the air felt different—more d
Moonbound desire Chapter 82:The Betrayal’s Mark.
The night air was thick with tension, as if the very atmosphere around them could sense the impending danger. Selene’s breath was shallow, each exhale sending a gust of steam into the cold, dark night. Her heart raced, her thoughts a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.“Stay close,” Ronan’s voice was low, commanding yet laced with a protective urgency that she couldn’t ignore. She had always trusted him, had always known him to be the one person who would always have her back.But now… now, everything was different. The line between ally and enemy had blurred. Selene couldn’t shake the feeling that something had changed—something more than just the chaos of running for their lives. The weight of the situation pressed down on her chest, her mind torn in ways she hadn’t anticipated.Cassian had appeared again, and despite the burning anger she still felt toward him, something inside her had shifted. His presence was like a crack in her armor, a reminder of the past they’d shared. Her loy
Moonbound desire Chapter 81:Under the Moon’s watch.
The night had fallen silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. The sky was a dark canvas, painted with scattered stars and the soft glow of the moon. Ronan sat against the stone wall of the abandoned cottage, his body still sore from the earlier skirmish. The pale light of the moon filtered through the cracks in the wooden walls, casting eerie shadows across the room. He was no longer the man who had walked in with confidence days ago. Wounds, both physical and emotional, marred him, and the weight of his secret gnawed at his mind.Selene sat beside him, her presence a quiet comfort. She hadn’t said much since they arrived, and neither had he. The space between them felt charged with something unspoken, a tension thick enough to feel tangible in the air. Their eyes occasionally met, but neither was brave enough to hold the gaze for long.“Ronan…” Selene’s voice was soft, hesitant, as if testing the waters. “We need to talk about what happened back there.”His jaw t
Moonbound desire Chapter 80:
The storm had passed, leaving the air thick with the heavy scent of wet earth. The landscape was eerily quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves as the wind whispered through the trees. Selene stood at the edge of the clearing, her breath shallow, her pulse quickening with each passing second. The remnants of the battle still lingered—damaged equipment, shattered arrows, and bloodstains marking the ground like a cruel reminder of their fight.Ronan was at her side, his presence a steady anchor in the chaos. But even his quiet strength couldn’t soothe the unease gnawing at her gut. Something was off. She could feel it in the air, taste it on her tongue—the scent of betrayal.“You don’t trust him, do you?” Ronan’s voice was low, almost a whisper, as though he too was aware of the same undercurrent of tension. He didn’t need to say who he meant. The wordless accusation hung between them, unspoken but undeniable.Cassian.Selene clenched her fists at her sides, the memory of his la
Moonbound desire Chapter 79:Crossroads Of Fate.
The world felt eerily quiet as Selene stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind whipping through her hair. The sky above was painted with shades of crimson and orange as the sun dipped beneath the horizon, casting long shadows across the land. The weight of the decision that loomed before her settled heavily on her chest, her heart pounding like a drum in her ears.Ronan stood beside her, his presence a comforting anchor amidst the storm brewing inside her. His hand brushed against hers, a touch so gentle it was almost imperceptible, but the connection was undeniable. It was a bond that had grown between them over time, one forged through countless battles, sacrifices, and shared moments of vulnerability.“You know what this means, right?” Ronan’s voice broke the silence, low and steady, but there was an edge to it—an unspoken tension that crackled between them. He wasn’t asking for her to confirm what they both already knew; he was merely reminding her of the stakes.Selene nodded, he
Moonbound desire Chapter 78:A Heart In Danger.
The moon hung high in the sky, casting a pale glow over the abandoned village. The air was thick with tension as Selene moved cautiously through the shadowed streets, every sense alert to the danger that lingered in the night. Her heart beat erratically in her chest, not just because of the imminent threat that could descend on them at any moment, but also because of the man walking by her side—Ronan.The connection between them had grown so palpable, so undeniable, that it made the air around them crackle with tension. His presence felt both like a shield and a temptation. Every time their hands brushed, every time their eyes met, she felt something stir within her—something she hadn’t allowed herself to feel for years. And yet, in the same breath, she feared that allowing herself to get too close would be the end of them both.“Stay close,” Ronan murmured, his voice low, barely above a whisper. His eyes scanned the surroundings, his body tense as though he was expecting an attack fr
Moonbound desire Chapter 77:A Wound That Heals.
The moonlight filtered softly through the dense canopy of trees, casting long, wavering shadows on the forest floor. Selene moved cautiously, her heart still heavy with the weight of what had transpired. The air was thick with the scent of earth and pine, and the soft rustle of the leaves above seemed to whisper in her ears. Yet, all she could hear was the beat of her own pulse, the rhythm of her thoughts too tangled to follow.Her eyes flicked over to Ronan, who walked beside her, his gaze distant but focused. His wounds had not healed fully, and the strain was evident in his slow, deliberate movements. But there was something in his posture—an unspoken determination—that made her heart tighten. His stoic silence spoke volumes. Despite everything, despite the battle they had fought, the betrayals and the lies, he remained steadfast. And in that, she found both comfort and uncertainty.“You’re quiet,” she said softly, her voice carrying just above the wind’s whisper. Her tone was gent
Moonbound desire Chapter 76:Shattered Illusions.
Selene stood at the edge of the forest, the wind tugging at her cloak as it whispered through the trees. The forest felt different now. Darker, more oppressive. There was a weight in the air that hadn’t been there before, like a storm was brewing, but the sky above remained eerily calm.She could feel the tension in her chest, the gnawing sense that something wasn’t right. It wasn’t just the land that had changed—it was her, too. Everything had shifted since the night they discovered the truth about Ronan. The truths they had uncovered had shattered the world she thought she knew, breaking the fragile illusion she’d held onto for so long.Turning, Selene met Ronan’s gaze. He stood a few paces behind her, his eyes filled with a storm of emotions. There were still bruises on his face from the last fight, marks of the battle they had narrowly survived. But it wasn’t the physical wounds that weighed heavy on him—it was the betrayal. He was struggling with what they had learned about his t
Moonbound desire Chapter 75:A Thin Line Between Love And War.
The air was thick with tension. It wasn’t just the heat of battle that hung in the air, but something deeper, more intense—an undercurrent of emotions that neither Selene nor Ronan could fully name. Every time their eyes met, a flicker of something unspoken passed between them—something that was neither completely love nor fully war, but a delicate mix of both. It was the way their hands brushed against each other when they moved too close, the way their hearts seemed to race in unison whenever danger loomed near.Ronan stood by her side, his expression unreadable, but Selene knew him too well by now. His mind was racing, calculating every possibility, every way they could escape the carnage that was swiftly closing in on them. The air crackled with the weight of their situation. They were cornered. The forces of Selene’s brother had trapped them in the city’s ancient district, where the crumbling walls offered no refuge and the narrow streets seemed to close in with every passing sec
