The Moon God's Bride Solas’s Confusion
Chapter 13 Third POVSolas stood in the shadows, his form blending seamlessly with the darkness that filled the corners of his chamber. He watched as Elara sat by the pond, her delicate fingers gliding through the water’s surface. She seemed lost in thought, her exhaustion evident in the way her shoulders slumped and her movements grew sluggish. Yet, despite her obvious physical decline, she continued to defy him, holding on to a stubborn strength that both frustrated and intrigued him.He had expected her to break by now. He had given her little food, no comfort, and nothing but the cold, hard stone to sleep on. Yet she endured. She clung to her resolve with a determination that should have crumbled days ago. But instead of falling apart, she had found solace in the most unlikely of places—the pond.Solas had noticed how she gravitated toward the water, how it seemed to calm her, offer her some measure of peace in this desolate place. It annoyed him, this small defiance. The pond w

Chapter 14Third POVElara slowly regained consciousness, her mind swimming through the haze of sleep and confusion. The first thing she noticed was the soft, warm surface beneath her—a stark contrast to the cold, hard stone she had grown accustomed to. The second was the gentle sensation of fingers running through her hair, tender and soothing.Opening her eyes, she found herself lying in a grand, four-poster bed draped in dark, silken sheets. The bed was massive, and she felt almost swallowed by its luxuriousness. The room was dimly lit by the soft glow of a few candles, casting flickering shadows on the walls. It took her a moment to realize where she was, but when she did, her breath caught in her throat.Solas was sitting beside her, his pale blue eyes focused intently on her. His expression was unlike anything she had seen before—soft, concerned, almost… caring. He continued to run his fingers through her hair, his touch gentle and reassuring."Elara," Solas said softly, his voic

Chapter 15 Third POV Solas watched over Elara as she lay unconscious on the bed, her breathing soft and even, a faint smile playing on her lips. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her, mesmerized by the peaceful expression on her face—a stark contrast to the turmoil she had endured since arriving in his domain. In that moment, she looked so innocent, so untainted by the darkness that surrounded her, and it stirred something unfamiliar within him.The bedchamber was dimly lit by a few flickering candles, their soft light casting long shadows that danced along the stone walls. Solas had always found solace in the darkness, in the quiet and cold of his cavernous home. But now, with Elara here, the darkness seemed more oppressive, more suffocating.He noticed the way she shifted slightly, her lips parting as if to whisper a secret. Then, the smile on her face grew, and her body arched ever so slightly, as if reaching for something—or someone. Solas's eyes narrowed as he observed her clo

From his perch in the heavens, he saw her will faltering, her steps hesitating before she collapsed into unconsciousness. A cruel smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he observed her descent into the darkness. The girl was weak, just as he had expected.In the golden grandeur of his celestial chambers, Helios reveled in the satisfaction of his manipulation. His home in the heavens was a palace of pure radiance, walls forged from the first rays of sunlight, casting a perpetual glow that would blind any mortal who dared to look upon it. Tall, arching windows opened to the sky, allowing beams of sunlight to pour in, reflecting off the gilded surfaces of the room. His throne, an elaborate seat of blazing gold, was set atop a dais, encrusted with sunstones that shimmered with every step he took.The air was warm, always perfumed with the scent

Chapter 17Third POVElara’s eyes fluttered open, her vision blurred as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. The world around her was shrouded in shadows, the cold air clinging to her skin like a suffocating blanket. For a moment, she couldn’t remember where she was or how she had gotten there. The last thing she recalled was a sense of overwhelming dread, followed by darkness.As her vision slowly cleared, she became aware of a figure looming beside her. Solas. His face was expressionless, his icy blue eyes fixed on her with an intensity that sent a chill down her spine. He was sitting beside the slab on which she lay, his head bent down, almost as if he were lost in thought.“What are you doing?” Elara’s voice came out hoarse, her throat dry and aching. She tried to prop herself up on her elbows, but her limbs felt heavy, as if they were weighed down by invisible chains.Solas remained silent, his gaze unwavering. The silence between them was thick, oppressive, pressing down

Chapter 18Third POVThe sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the small village nestled in the valley. The air was cool, the scent of the earth mingling with the last remnants of summer warmth. Life in the village continued as it always had—unremarkable, predictable, and tinged with the quiet resignation of those who had long since accepted their lot in life. But today, there was a palpable sense of relief in the air, a collective exhale of tension that had been building for weeks.The villagers gathered in the central square, the hub of all activity, where the day’s gossip was shared, and decisions were made. They spoke in hushed tones, casting furtive glances at the edges of the forest that bordered their home. The forest was dense and dark, its secrets known only to those who dared venture too far. And beyond the forest lay the mountains, towering and ominous, where no villager in their right mind would tread—save for the foolhardy or the desperate.Elara had been desp

Chapter 19Third POVSolas stood cloaked in the shadows, his eyes fixed on Elara as she dragged herself across the cold stone floor. Her movements were slow, every step labored as though the weight of the world was pressing down on her frail body. The air around her hung thick with despair, her once vibrant aura now dulled to a mere flicker of its former self. He could see the lines of exhaustion etched into her face, the way her shoulders slumped as if the burden of survival had become too much to bear.The pond, with its still, dark waters, seemed to beckon to her as she neared it. Solas watched in silence as Elara lowered herself to the ground, dipping her fingers into the cool water. The sight of her—so defeated, so drained of the fierce spirit he had first encountered—stirred something unfamiliar in him. It wasn’t pity, he knew that much. No, it was something more insidious, something that gnawed at the edges of his carefully constructed detachment.Guilt.He scowled at the thoug

Chapter 20 Third POVElara felt the cold stone of the cave beneath her, her fingers trailing idly in the water of the pond. She was tired, beyond tired—her body drained of strength, her spirit nearly broken. But then, suddenly, something changed. It was as though a wave of warmth enveloped her, wrapping around her like a soft, protective embrace. It was unlike anything she had felt in days, a sensation so comforting that she almost wept from the relief.For so long, it had felt as though dark tendrils were sapping her strength, pulling at her very soul and draining her will to fight. But now, those tendrils were being pushed back, retreating from this new warmth that surrounded her. It felt like a shield, a barrier against whatever had been leeching away her energy. Elara closed her eyes, letting herself sink into the sensation, letting herself believe—if only for a moment—that she was safe.A deep sigh escaped her lips as she felt the warmth penetrate her very core, soothing the deep

The Moon God's Bride The Search for Solas
Chapter 29Third POVElara ran her fingers through her damp hair, now freshly washed and braided, as she stood near the edge of the pond. The familiar sense of guilt still weighed heavily on her after the bath, and despite feeling physically renewed, her mind was troubled. She had made up her mind to apologize to Solas for her behavior the previous day, but now she couldn't seem to find him.Where could he be? she wondered as she glanced around the cavern.Pulling the simple, flowing dress she had found from the neatly folded pile onto her body, she felt a determination to put things right. Even though Solas had tormented her with his coldness and power, he had never gone beyond what she could handle. His care, hidden behind a mask of indifference, was becoming clearer now that she was rested and fed. She realized that she may have misunderstood him, and after all these centuries of isolation, maybe he, too, was struggling.“Solas?” she called, her voice soft at first, hesitant, then
The Moon God's Bride Shadows and Sin
Chapter 28Third POVSolas sat in the corner of his dimly lit chamber, his eyes never leaving the form of Elara, who lay curled up in his bed. He had kept to the shadows, hidden behind the dark veil that cloaked him, but his gaze had not wavered, watching her sleep through the long, quiet hours of the night. Her chest rose and fell with each breath, soft little exhales escaping from her parted lips, and Solas found himself leaning forward slightly, almost without realizing it.She was serene, entirely at peace in her sleep. The lines of tension that had marred her face earlier were now gone, replaced by a sweet, almost innocent calm. Her brow furrowed occasionally, her lips curling into a faint smile at times, and Solas couldn’t help but wonder what she was dreaming about. Was it something pleasant? Was it him? The thought sent a shiver through him, one he couldn’t explain.Why am I so enamored by her?It was a question that had haunted him since the moment he laid eyes on her, and to

Chapter 27Third POVElara awoke to a faint sliver of light filtering through the darkened cave, its soft glow reflecting off the still pond. She blinked, adjusting her eyes to the gentle shimmer as she slowly sat up, confusion momentarily clouding her thoughts. The last thing she remembered was collapsing into sleep, her body aching and sore from the torment of hunger and exhaustion. But now, as she stretched her limbs, she felt nothing but strength, as though the fatigue and pain had been swept away by some unseen force.She rose to her feet, expecting her muscles to protest, to feel the cold stiffness from sleeping on the hard stone slab. But there was none of that. No soreness, no discomfort. Just an overwhelming sense of energy coursing through her veins, as if she were somehow renewed.Elara frowned, running her hands over her arms, her brow furrowed in thought. How is this possible? She had been on the brink of collapse the day before, barely able to think straight, let alone fe
The Moon God's Bride Shadows of the Past
Chapter 26Third POVSelene sat atop her celestial throne, bathed in the pale glow of her moon as its silver light poured through the open arches of her ethereal home. She watched the waves below, feeling their pulse as they rose and crashed against the shorelines of a distant village. The tides were erratic tonight—wild, untamable—and no matter how hard she focused, she couldn’t subdue them. Her brow furrowed in frustration as she tried once more to ease the waters, her divine power coaxing them into serenity.But it was no use.A heavy sigh escaped her lips as realization settled over her. This wasn’t nature acting on its own. No, the tides were responding to something darker—someone darker. She clenched her fists as her suspicions grew certain.Solas.Her brother. The mere thought of him sent a bitter chill through her veins. It had been centuries since they had last crossed paths, but his presence lingered like a shadow on her realm, dark and consuming.

But as she sank deeper into her slumber, those happy images began to fade, replaced by a chilling void.The darkness came swiftly, like a predator stalking its prey, creeping closer with every breath. Elara felt its weight pressing down on her, suffocating her. She couldn’t see, couldn’t hear—just the overwhelming sense of emptiness gnawing at her core. Panic surged through her as the shadows loomed closer, tightening their grip around her fragile form.

He watched her, his gaze sharp and unyielding, as she struggled to find sleep. The exhaustion was evident in every line of her body—her limbs heavy, her eyelids fluttering shut only to open again moments later.And yet, there was a stubbornness in her, a quiet resilience that refused to give in, even to the pull of sleep. Solas found himself intrigued, as he so often did when it came to Elara. What was it about her that made him linger in the shadows, watching her every move with such intensity?He had never been one for such idle curiosity. He had seen countless mortals, all of them weak in one way or another, succumbing to their emotions, their fears, their mortality. Yet there was something different about Elara.

The Moon God's Bride A Moment of Peace
Chapter 23Third POVElara sat on the cold stone slab, feeling the warmth of the food settle in her stomach, the energy coursing through her veins like a lifeline. For the first time since her arrival in this dark, oppressive place, she felt a small measure of strength return to her body. The meal had done more than just sustain her physically; it had given her a fleeting sense of normalcy, a brief escape from the nightmare that had become her reality.Closing her eyes, she let herself sink into that feeling, allowing the memories of her past to wash over her like a comforting tide.

She was dressed modestly, as always, in a simple dress that allowed her to blend in with the othe
The Moon God's Bride Pride
Chapter 22Third POVSolas had been watching Elara for hours, his gaze never straying from her frail form as she sat by the pond. She was a sight to behold, even in her weakened state—a fragile human, caught in the web of gods, yet still clinging to life with a tenacity that both fascinated and frustrated him. The pond’s surface shimmered with the faint light of the magical barrier he had placed around her, a protective cocoon to shield her from Helios’s draining magic. Yet, even with that protection, Elara was barely holding on.His bride.The thought of her as his bride was a bitter pill to swallow, a reminder of the chain of events that had led to this moment. Elara had been chosen—no, sacrificed—by her village, sent to him as an offering. But Solas hadn’t accepted her as a mere offering. He had claimed her, bound her to him with a vow that was both a blessing and a curse.But what was the point of claiming her if she couldn’t even survive? The fleeting triumph he had felt in freei
The Moon God's Bride A Feast of Fury
Chapter 21 Third POV Elara’s eyelids fluttered, her consciousness teetering on the edge of a deep, dreamless sleep. She could feel her past, the memories she had so carefully buried, lurking just beyond the veil of sleep, waiting for her to lose her grip so they could slip through the cracks. They were always there, haunting her at the edge of her thoughts, ready to seize any moment of weakness and drag her back to a time she would rather forget. But before she could succumb to the darkness, a commanding voice cut through the silence, yanking her back to the present.Her heart raced as she jerked upright, her eyes wide with fear and confusion. She scanned the dimly lit chamber, her mind scrambling to make sense of her surroundings. The cold stone walls seemed to close in on her, the shadows deepening as her breathing quickened.
