The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 53 - Emotional Blackmail
Meanwhile, Selena paces nervously outside the mansion, her thoughts a whirlwind of doubt and fear. She has been avoiding Valentine, the enigmatic and dangerously charming brother of Chloe. The bond between them, though undeniable, terrifies her—there is something about him that she cannot fully trust, something that pulls at her like a tide, threatening to sweep her away."Are you really going to let me go in there alone?" Demika's voice pulls Selena from her thoughts. The witch stands before her, a look of hurt and determination in her eyes."Demika, it's not that I don't want to be there for you, but..." Selena falters, unable to find the right words. The truth is, she's scared—scared of what she might find inside, scared of Valentine, and scared of the growing connection she feels with him."You owe me this, Selena," Demika says, her voice firm. "I've always had your back, and now I need you to have mine."Selena hesitates for a moment longer, but then the guilt and the bond betwee
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 54 - Amorous Birds of Prey
In Dr. Percy’s vast library, Selena and Valentine sit in silence, the tension between them palpable. The room is filled with the scent of old books and polished wood, the flickering candlelight casting long shadows on the walls. Selena feels trapped, both by the physical space and by the intensity of Valentine’s presence. They both engage in a battle of wills. His gaze is intense, filled with an emotion she cannot quite name—a mix of desire, curiosity, and something darker, something dangerous.Finally, Valentine breaks the silence. “You’ve been avoiding me.”Selena bristles at the accusation, though she knows it’s true. “I’ve had other things on my mind.”Valentine’s eyes flash with frustration. “Like what? Running away from what’s between us?”Selena’s heart skips a beat, but she forces herself to remain calm. “There is nothing between us, Valentine. You and I… we’re too different. We belong to different worlds.”Valentine’s jaw tightens, his frustration boiling over. “That’s just an
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 55 - The Unraveling
As the day wears on, the atmosphere within the Adam Mansion grows heavier, as if the very walls are aware of the secrets and tensions simmering within. Chloe and Demika sit together still on the bed, their fingers intertwined as they try to make sense of what just happened. Chloe’s face is pale, her usually vibrant eyes clouded with a mix of fear and uncertainty.Demika watches her closely, her own mind racing. The vision she experienced during their brief moment of a romantic hullabaloo still lingers in her thoughts, and she can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong.“Chloe,” Demika says softly, her voice filled with concern. “What did I see? What are you hiding?”Chloe hesitates, her fingers tightening around Demika’s. “I never wanted you to see that part of me,” she whispers. “It’s… it’s something I’ve kept hidden for so long. Something I’ve tried to forget.”Demika’s heart aches for her, but she knows that whatever Chloe is hiding, it’s something that could change e
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 56 - An Ominous Entanglement
Demika turns slowly, her eyes meeting Chloe’s. The intensity in those dark, sultry eyes holds her captive, ensnaring her in a web of desire and something deeper, something far more dangerous. The distance between them disappears as Chloe steps forward, her hand reaching out to cup Demika’s cheek. The touch is light, almost tentative, but it sends a surge of electricity through Demika's body, awakening a hunger that has lain dormant for far too long."You're trembling," Chloe murmurs, her thumb brushing lightly over Demika’s lips, her eyes darkening with an emotion that sends a thrill of anticipation through the witch."It's you," Demika breathes, her voice thick with emotion, her words barely more than a whisper. "You make me feel things I shouldn't."Chloe smiles, a slow, sensual curve of her lips that speaks of both tenderness and the promise of something far more carnal. "Then don't resist," she whispers, her lips mere inches from Demika's. "Let me show you how good it can be when
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 57 - Déjà vu
Meanwhile, outside the mansion it is already night, Selena is running through the dense forest, her heart pounding in her chest. She can hear Valentine following her, his footsteps silent but relentless. She knows she can’t outrun him, but she doesn’t care. All she wants is to escape—to get away from the feelings that have been building inside her since she first met him.But as she runs, she suddenly feels a strange sensation—an overwhelming sense of dread, as if something is watching her. She stops in her tracks, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she scans the darkened trees around her.“Selena,” Valentine’s voice calls out from behind her, his tone urgent. “What’s wrong?”Selena turns to face him, her eyes wide with fear. “Something’s here, Valentine. I can feel it.”Valentine’s expression darkens, and he steps closer, his senses on high alert. “We need to get back to the mansion. It’s not safe out here.”But before they can move, a shadowy figure emerges from the trees, its for

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 59 - The Weight of Power
Later that day, Selena finally gathers the courage to confront Wilson. She finds him in his office, buried in work, his face a mask of concentration and exhaustion. His fortunes have risen since defeating Cortis and the Hydra Pack, but the victory has come at a cost.Wilson has buried himself in work, his focus shifting from the battlefield to the boardroom.

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 60 - Reminiscence
Selena had just turned sixteen, her wolf still young, untested, and full of fire. The small but bustling district of Laketown, where she lived with her family—the Robinsons, was abuzz with whispers of a visit from the newly appointed Alpha of the Redbone Pack, Wilson. He was a man of imposing stature, having taken the mantle of leadership after his father’s assassination.

It was through her that Wilson first encountered Selena, a meeting that neither could forget.The day had been sweltering, the summer sun beating d

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 125 - The Legacy

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 Darkside of the Moon Chapter 123 - Shadowed Returns

After the long, solemn hours of Granny Minama's funeral, he can still feel the weight of Wilson’s directive pressing upon him, a derisive whisper urging him to slip the truth from Gabrielle without alerting her to his intent. 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. Jason greets her with a kiss, his hand grazing her cheek as their eyes meet, hers soft and trusting, unknowing of his hidden purpose.In that moment,

The city gathers to mourn Granny Minama, but underneath the sorrow, there’s an undercurrent of tension that none can deny.The heavy pall of dusk hangs over Clovis City like a suffocating shroud, the air thick with grief and expectation. The first-class cemetery of Clovis, a sacred ground reserved for the most venerated dead, stretches out in eerie silence. An endless sea of black fills the space—from the mourners’ attire to the casket, a sleek, dark vessel that houses the lifeless body of Granny Minama, a revered elder, and council member. Her death has cast a shadow over the city, the kind that seeps into the bones of every person present.The council members of Clovis City gather, their ranks swollen with power and dominance, the Alphas of every pack standing side by side, their rivalry momentarily buried in a shared mourning.

Her sister—though not by blood—sits on the edge of Demika’s bed, offering a weak smile of comfort. "You’ve been running yourself ragged. Demika will understand if you take a break."Selena shakes her head. "I can’t rest. Not while every
The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 120 - Trouble in Paradise
Wilson paces the length of his study, every creak of the wooden floor mirroring the slow boil of anger and frustration under his skin. It's been over a week since he last saw Selena, and the void her absence has carved in his heart festers like an open wound. The bond they share—ancient, eternal—crackles like a chain stretched too tight, pulling him toward her, but she remains just out of reach. Every attempt to contact her has been met with silence.

The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 119 - Echoes in the Dark
The early night moon hangs confidently in the dusky sky, a lone range satellite breaching a balance between the sinister dark horizon and a forlorn hope. The chaotic air clings to Selena’s skin as she steps out of the dimly lit inn, her heart heavy with a kaleidoscope of emotions she can scarcely untangle—her body drained but her mind reeling with an inescapable ache. Estranged. That’s what she feels now—a ghost haunting a family that isn’t hers by blood.The streets are buzzing, but the cacophony of life feels distant, muted under the weight of her turbulent thoughts. Her breath escapes in shallow, uneasy bursts as she recalls the words Mrs. Robinson had spoken to her the previous day. "You might not be my blood, but you are still my little girl, Selena. No sinister revelation will ever change that." The words had soothed her for a fleeting moment, but now, standing on the threshold between the inn’s warmth and the creeping dusk, that comfort fades into oblivion.Mrs. Robinson. Mr. R
