The Darkside of the Moon Chapter 72 - Betrayed
Valentine walks with an air of determination, his every step purposeful, though his heart is far from settled. His thoughts are a turbulent sea, roiling with emotions he scarcely knows how to control. The creature that looms on the horizon, a threat to all they hold dear, barely registers in his mind. It is the thought of Selena, only Selena, who occupies the landscape of his complicated mind, his heart—his very soul.He arrives at Selena’s home, a modest yet inviting cottage nestled at the heart of Laketown. Mrs. Robinson greets him at the door with a warm, knowing smile. Her eyes, however, hold a trace of concern as she surveys the young man before her, sensing the weight he carries.“Good morning, Valentine,” she says, her voice gentle yet probing. “What brings you here so early? Selena’s already at work.”Valentine nods, though disappointment flickers in his eyes. “I wanted to see her, but... perhaps it’s better this way. May I speak with you for a moment, Mrs. Robinson?”She step

“Wilson...” Selena’s voice is barely above a whisper, her heart sinking as she realizes what he’s overheard.Wilson’s eyes, once warm with affection, are now as hard as stone. Without a word, he turns and walks away, his broad shoulders stiff with the effort of containing his rage.“Wilson, wait!” Selena calls after him, panic rising in her chest. She starts to run after him, but Valentine grabs her arm, desperate to keep her from leaving.“Let him go, Selena. He’ll come around.”She glares at him, fury blazing in her blue eyes. “You don’t understand, Valentine. You’ve ruined everything!”With a surge of strength, she shoves him away, sending him crashing into a parked car with such force that the metal crumples beneath him. A commotion erupts in the parking lot as people rush to see what’s happening, but Selena is already sprinting after Wilson, her heart pounding in her chest.Valentine lies on the ground, the breath knocked out of him, the taste of blood in his mouth. He watches hel

A little while later, almost lost in the reverie of his flummoxity he hears footsteps outside the door and his heart skips a beat as the scent of jasmine reaches his nostrils. Selena. The very thought of her name sends a fresh wave of conflicting emotions crashing over him.The door creaks open softly, hesitantly, and Selena steps into the office—her presence immediately filling the room with a strange, almost oppressive tension. Wilson lifts his head, his expression dark and unreadable as he looks at her. There’s no warmth in his eyes, no relief at her presence—only a cold, distant anger that makes her heart clench with fear.“Wilson…” she begins, her voice tentative, trying to gauge his mood. But he cuts her off with a sharp wave of his hand.“I don’t want to talk about it, Selena,” he says, his voice flat, devoid of the love that once colored every word he spoke to her. “I can’t even look at you right now.”Selena flinches as if he’s struck her. She knew this confrontation was inevi

Jason storms through the dense forest, his heart pounding in his chest as the trees whip past him.

The thought of Valentine daring to steal Selena from Wilson—his Alpha, his brother in all but blood—fills him with a rage that he can barely contain.He knows where to find Valentine.

Jason stumbles through the forest, his body battered and bruised from his encounter with Valentine. His mind is a whirlwind of thoughts—of the fight, of the darkness he saw in Valentine’s eyes, of the howl that still echoes in his ears.The sound of that howl sends chills down his spine. It was no ordinary wolf’s call; it was something far more ancient, far more powerful. It was a warning—a sign that something terrible is coming, something that could tear the pack apart.He pushes forward, his body screaming in protest with each step, but he refuses to slow down. He has to get back to Wilson, has to warn him about Valentine and whatever dark force he’s aligned himself with.As he nears the edge of the forest, the pack house comes into view, its silhouette a dark shadow against the fading light of the day.

Wilson, though shaken, masks his turmoil with a hardened resolve, his gaze narrowing as Chloe’s words echo in his mind. The revelation she delivered cuts through him like a cold blade, unsettling yet undeniable. He nods slowly, his agreement reluctant but necessary. "Tell Dr. Percy to come see me," he mutters, his voice laced with an undercurrent of unease. "We really need to talk."Chloe, understanding the weight of his command, meets his gaze with a solemn nod. Without hesitation, she scoops Valentine into her arms, her movements fluid and precise.

The dawn breaks with a reluctant light; the morning sun rises reluctantly over the mist-laden forest, casting long, serpentine shadows that slither across the ground like malevolent phantoms—the sky bruised with the remnants of a night that had been anything but peaceful. Selena steps out of the pack house, her eyes heavy with the weight of sleepless hours. The morning air is crisp, biting at her exposed skin, but it does little to dispel the shadows clinging to her thoughts. The remnants of last night's chaos cling to the atmosphere—a palpable tension that refuses to dissipate. Her pulse quickens as memories of the encounter between Jason and the possessed Valentine haunts her, replaying in her mind—each memory a fresh wound… each image seared into her consciousness like a brand. As she makes her way to the inn, the streets of Laketown seem unnervingly quiet. The usual morning hustle is absent, replaced by a thick silence that presses against her ears like cotton. The chaos at the

She blinks at the sunlight with a slight start, realizing, only now, that she has been suspended in the remnants of the past for hours. 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 125 - The Legacy
The days bleed into one another in a dim cadence of restless hours and unbroken silence, with Demika hidden away in the secluded corners of Minama’s cottage.

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

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,
