The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 32 - A Sinister Rediscovery
Demika stands in the twilight of granny Minama’s old house restively, bedeviled by the turbulence her new found mojo that seems too herculean a task to control. Her eyes narrowed as she stares out through the old window of her room gazing at the storm gathering on the horizon. The air is thick with the scent of rain, mingled with something else—something ancient, something powerful.Her heart pounds in her chest, not from fear, but from the exhilaration that courses through her veins like a drug. The power is there again, simmering beneath her skin, a restless energy that crackles like static in the air around her. She has become with drawn from everyone else, not even her best friend, Selena, is a close confidante anymore… all she has now is Granny Minama.She clenches her fists, trying to contain it, but the effort is futile. It’s always futile. The power surges, burning through her like wildfire, setting her nerves ablaze with an intensity that both terrifies and thrills her. She c

The silence that follows is heavy, oppressive, as Demika struggles to process the information. She feels a cold knot of dread forming in her stomach, a sense of inevitability that she cannot shake off.“And the Book of Shadows?” she asks, her voice trembling.Granny Minama’s eyes narrow slightly. “The book survived the fire,” she admits, her tone cautious. “I locked it away, where it could do no more harm. But perhaps… perhaps it is time for you to study it. There may be something within its pages that can help you master your powers.”Demika’s heart skips a beat at the thought. The Book of Shadows, a tome of unimaginable power, within her reach. But Granny Minama’s next words send a chill down her spine.“Remember this, child,” the old woman warns, her voice stern. “As a Wicca, you must never allow the book to lure you into practicing black magic. The book is tainted, corrupted by the dark rituals your father performed. It will tempt you, draw you in with promises of power, but you m

Three days pass, and Demika does not leave her room. The book is her constant companion, its pages filled with secrets that she is determined to uncover. She practices the spells, the incantations, the rituals, each one more dangerous than the last.The power within her grows with each passing day, feeding on the dark magic that she is learning. She can feel it changing her, twisting her, making her into something she does not recognize. But she does not care. All that matters is the power, the control, the thrill of knowing that she is no longer bound by the limitations of the mortal world.Granny Minama knocks on her door, her voice filled with concern. “Meenu, child, you must eat. You must rest.”But Demika ignores her, too consumed by the book, by the power. She has no need for food, for sleep. The power sustains her, drives her, fills her with a purpose that she has never known before.She stands before the mirror, her reflection almost unrecognizable. Her eyes are darker, her sk

The household of the Robinsons stands as a quaint cottage, tranquilly small but exuding a certain grace that belies its modest size. The walls are adorned with climbing ivy, its leaves a deep green that contrasts beautifully with the whitewashed exterior. The roof, shingled with aged wood, slopes gently, giving the cottage an almost storybook charm. Inside, the warmth of a well-loved home is evident in every corner, from the worn but polished wooden floors to the soft, earthy tones that decorate the space. The air is always filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread or the faint scent of lavender that Mrs. Jackie Robinson so diligently sprinkles around.Mr. John Robinson, Selena's father, is a figure of quiet authority. A respected district leader at Laketown, he holds a position that, while lowly ranked within the Redbone Pack, commands a significant degree of respect among the townsfolk.

The morning sun spills through the wide windows of the Coffee Shop Inn, casting a golden hue over the teeming scene within. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the sounds of clinking cups and quiet conversations.

Selena and Demika are behind the counter, working in perfect sync.Demika has managed to recover from her almost ill-fated power-consuming adventures of few days ago—she has re-emerged from the aftermath of her recent power-surge misdemeanor, her spirit bruised but unbroken.

Chloe’s eyes shift from Selena to Demika, and something sparks within her, a flicker of attraction that she hadn’t expected. “We are. Just passing through, really,” Chloe says, her voice soft yet filled with a subtle intensity.Demika smiles, her heart fluttering in a way that feels both strange and exciting. “Well, welcome… Strangers! To the Coffee Shop Inn. We make the best brew in town. Any special request?”There’s a brief pause, charged with an unspoken energy. Valentine and Selena exchange a glance, each of them trying to decipher the other, while Chloe’s gaze lingers on Demika, something deeper and more profound stirring within her.“I’ll get your coffee,” Selena says, breaking the silence as she moves to the machine.

The evening casts a thick veil of twilight over the Pack House, a monolithic structure nestled deep within the heart of Redbone territory, just by the borders of Laketown. The air is dense with the scent of pine and damp earth, and the shadows lengthen as the day wanes, shrouding the surrounding forest in a deepening gloom. Inside the Pack House, the atmosphere is equally charged, though for different reasons.Alpha Wilson, a towering figure of raw power and unyielding authority, stands in the center of the room, his broad shoulders squared, his jaw clenched with the weight of his responsibilities. His eyes, cold and calculating, scan the room as if dissecting each detail for a potential weakness.Across from him stands Jason, his Beta, and lifelong friend. Jason’s loyalty has been unwavering, but tonight, a tension lingers in the air between them—an unspoken discord that neither man dares to acknowledge outright. Jason's eyes flicker with concern as he studies Wilson’s expression, se

He steps toward Selena, his gaze intense, almost predatory, eyes turn red. “You will stay away from them, Selena. I won’t have my mate consorting with Vampyres.”Selena opens her mouth to protest, but the look in Wilson’s eyes silences her. She can see the demon lurking just beneath the surface, ready to break free at the slightest provocation. Her heart pounds in her chest, fear mingling with the overwhelming love she feels for him. She can’t bear the thought of losing him, but neither can she ignore the connection she feels with Valentine.“Wilson, please,” she whispers, her voice trembling. “You’re scaring me.”At her words, something in Wilson shifts. The fury drains from his face, replaced by a look of horror at what he’s almost done. He reaches out to her, his hands trembling as they cup her face, tilting her head so that he can look into her eyes.“I’m sorry,” he murmurs, his voice thick with regret. “I never meant to frighten you.”Selena’s heart aches as she sees the torment

Selena’s voice reaches her ears, carrying both worry and curiosity."Demi… Demika," Selena says, pushing the door open and stepping inside. She stops, eyes widening as she takes in her friend, studying her with a blend of disbelief and awe. “You look... different.”A faint smirk tugs at the corner of Demika’s lips. “I am different,” she says quietly, her voice carrying an edge of something ancient, something foreign. “You have no idea.”Selena glances over her shoulder as Chloe enters, her expression one of

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 124 - Impetus Potentiae
Loneliness is a silent architect, building castles of solitude in the minds of those who wander without tether. Identity is a dance of masks, but in crisis, the mask slips, revealing not clarity but a fog, as if one were peering through glass, shattered and smeared. However, to lose oneself is not to wander; it is to walk through a foreclosure of one’s own soul, each familiar landmark of self closing its doors with a hollow thud. But solitude is the truest mirror, a place where whispers echo louder than the clamors of a crowd, where silence is the only faithful companion. In the heart’s quiet corridors, the comfort of isolation mingles with a cold draft of longing, one that no borrowed company can fill. Like a shadow dancing in one’s periphery, a fractured sense of belonging haunts the fringes of an empty room. And yet, perhaps loneliness is the sculptor, and solitude the chisel, whittling away the superfluous to reveal the form beneath. Some seek company to escape it; others confro

The assignment is deceptively simple, yet Jason knows the fine line he walks: one misstep, one hint of calculation, and her walls will go up.She arrives just past midnight, her silhouette framed by the streetlight outside before stepping into the flickering glow of his candlelit living room. Shadows dance along cluttered shelves, over worn furniture, and around the dark corners of the room, painting an almost ominous scene.
