No man can live forever unless they possess the heart of a star. Even immortals find a way to cease to exist at some point. To maintain the balance of life, nature ensures that everything that lives has a way of dying.The moon goddess understood this fact better than anyone. As a divine being received her essence from the Moon but with her successor in line her connection to the moon was getting weaker.However, she was filled with dread. Her one and only son's life is threatened. His life was in danger even before he got a chance to bloom and shine all across the world as the moon God.Daylen was far from creating his legacy. There were no stories of the moon God, no myths or legends. If the prophecy were to come true, there will be no way of saving him. For God to come through power from people's beliefs to continue existing. But when the world does not know he exists how can he drop power from them?Selene paced up and down. Forcing his son's hand into living with the man he loves
Daylen found himself seated at the dining table with the moon goddess. With the two buttons of his crisp white shirt opened. His head cast down on the table. Unable to feel anything, his body had grown numb. He had been hurt so much in a small period of time for him to care anymore. Daylen pressed his lips together. His mother gave him her blessings to be with Syvan. She gave her word that she wouldn't harm Syvan or allow anyone to hurt his beloved. It was the happiest he had ever been but it wasn't so for his love. Despite the moon goddess permitting them to be together. Syvan chose to vacate the summer palace and return to Erelandia with Jax. Daylen was puzzled at first but eventually accepted that his love wasn't enough to make Syvan choose him. The worst part is the fact that he had no excuse or anyone to blame for his leaving. The elders didn't want him dead, the moon goddess gave her blessing. Syvan leaving was his choice and to top it up, Syvan requested him not to follow h
"Can we leave now?"Selene shook her head. Daylen was going down a lonely path. A path she would wish on him. He had learned the same lessons she was forced to learn. First love isn't always a person's last love. Soulmates might be destined to each other but that doesn't ascertain that they would end up together. And not every love story has a happy ending like the fairytale stories. Eventually, the version of love we believe in our hearts proves to be the opposite of what goes on in reality. Love doesn't hurt, expectation does. Selene put her foot down to save Daylen from suffocating from his breath. "You will complete your list. This is an order."Daylen blinked. A tear fell down his cheek. Noises rang in his head. Energy draining from his body, Daylen could feel something off with his body. But he couldn't care enough to check it. He strode forward determined to return to the silver palace. He had disobeyed his mother once there was no reason not to do it again. It was his life
"Everything is ready," Uri returned to the moon goddess with the news. Though her heart was heavy and she wished the ritual would not be performed. She bowed her head in submission and let Selene have her way. Selena lifted her son off the ground and carried him out. Emilio followed behind her striding next to Uri. The other elders formed a straight line behind the two of them guarding the moon goddess. "May I ask what's going on?" Emilio dared to ask Uri. Uri glared daggers at him. She placed a finger on her lips ushering him to be silent. It was a day of mourning, the moon goddess deserved all the moments of silence they had to give.Selene pulled Daylen closer. Her life on earth had made her feel like she could never trust or love again. However, she realized her one true love wasn't the man who stole her heart. But the man who called her mother. For her son, she was ready to lay down her life. To see him happy and for him to live a fulfilling life. The desire to protect Dayle
Dressed in a pure white dress, the moon goddess stood under the moon. Her son laying on the ground before her. The elders formed circles around the moon goddess and her son. Their hearts cry and mourn for the goddess. The worst feeling about the light ritual is that they get to mourn someone who is still alive. Selene reached out for the crown on her head. The silver crown has rested on her head for centuries. It was the first time she took it off with no intention of putting it on again. Uri dropped her head. Never did she imagine as soon as she began her journey as an elder she would get to witness the moon goddess fall. "What's happening?" asked Emilio. He stood next to Uri dressed in white. Uri failed to explain what was happening, she only informed him that he needed to change his attire and stand in line with the elders. Emilio felt something amiss. It looked like a funeral, the atmosphere was sad and miserable. But Selene assured him that Daylen would be alright. He was
Daylen hung around the garden. At the spot where his mother lay him. Staring at the stars. Selene wasn't in the stars she was somewhere far. She was the light of his life now his sky had gone dark. She was the only good thing that he still had in his life. Now she too was gone and he was clueless about how to proceed with his life. Daylen couldn't come to terms with the fact that she gave his life so he could live. He wasn't aware his life was in danger, clueless about what was going on. He fell prey to the claws of death. Death touched the one person that knew how to love him. He felt empty. Her essence was in him. Daylen could feel his mother in himself a reminder that she was gone and it was because of him. He had made a damn mistake by leaving the silver palace from the start. It was that stupid decision that set the course of his fate to where he was.Daylen wished it was worth it. To feel worthy of his mother's sacrifice but he wasn't. All of what transpired could have been
OneSyvan arrived at the summer palace. He raced desperately to reach Daylen. It took him sometime to realise it but Daylen was his heart. Syvan acknowledged that he wasn’t ready to lose the male. He crossed his fingers and prayed that he wasn’t too late. He listened, to hear Daylen’s heartbeat to know where the male was. The events that played out during the day terrified him. He feared that it might be too late for him to return and profess his love. He loves the moon god.“He is in the garden,” Zane informed.Syvan rushed to the garden, his heart pounding vigorously. He rested once he had Daylen in his sight. His eyes softened. A wave of relief washed over him. A smile appeared at his lips. He thanked the gods that answered his prayers and kept the moon god at the palace for them to meet.His feet ambled forward, he was nervous. Scared of facing Daylen. It was hours back that he was given the choice to be with the moon god and he turned it down. The feeling coursed through his bo
Syvan's words filled Daylen with overwhelming anger. Whether he lived or died was a choice Syvan needed to make after thinking long and hard for a day. Had he been in that position he would have saved Syvan without hesitation. Daylen came to learn the value he holds in Syvan's eyes. It added to the pain of losing his mother. It felt like he had lost his mother and his lover. Talking it over with Syvan would be a pointless void argument. Loneliness flooded through his body. Daylen appeared in Emilio's room. His mother trusted the vampire to stay by his side. The moon goddess entrusted his life to Emilio and he wasn't in the mood to question why she did that. Emilio was seated by the bed. Coming to terms with what he had seen and learned. 'Daylen is the moon god,' the words replayed in his mind. Which meant the woman he spoke to was the moon goddess, Selene. The light ceremony was an unbelievably shocking sight. However much he tried to forget the incident, it was permanently pack
"Good morning, Alva," he greeted me. The sound of his voice echoed in my ear. I thought it would break my heart to hear his voice but that wasn't the case. I shouldn't have trusted him, that is what I realized at that moment. If he could hurt me in this way and walk up to me as if nothing happened, then he never deserved my love. I cried myself to sleep for a man who didn't have the right to affect me the way that I did. My thoughts ran back to the previous morning. The peaceful day that I had and how wonderful it was without him in my life. Alex came into my life at the right moment. He made me realize that there was me before the jerk before me and there could be a better me after him. I gazed at my ex, the tears in my eyes clearing. I straightened my back and mirrored the smile that he flashed at me. I closed the distance between us by stepping out of the elevator. Meeting his stare. "Good morning Dylan," I spoke out in a steady soft tone. "I guess congratulations are f
"You need to be in school," Devon uttered throwing his gaze at Syvan. The boy swallowed the food nervously unable to comment. He didn't want to go back to school and to a life that made no sense to him. His life as a human was fleeting and any moment could be his last. Syvan didn't wish to spend the last moments of his life wasting away in an institute that would keep him distant from Daylen. "Seva will drive you," Daylen offered without looking up at the man. Syvan frowned. It was evident without a doubt that Daylen was looking fot excuses to get rid of him. Every chance that opened up, Daylen jumped at it without asking him what he wanted. "Did I go to school in my past life?" Syvan asked. Daylen froze. In the past Syvan never had to be a student. He was many things, a prince, vampire, son, friend, brother, leader and most of all a lover. All his titles he wore them like a king. With grace and elegance. One that brought tears to Daylen's eyes as he thought back to that moment
Daylen was tired and emotionally drained. He didn't try to get up or care about what hit him. He was alright lying there and letting everything in the world move without him, slowly he started fading away. He was losing the touch of his senses. Daylen couldn't feel any part of his body, he couldn't feel his body, and the pain was withering away. It was a relief. One which he had desired for a long time. His eyes remained open, he stared at the sky. The rainwater hit his eyes and drenched him. His blood mixing with the water creates a metallic smell around him. 'You swore you would never hurt me, but..' He thought of the moon before everything went blank in his mind. His heart was restless. He wanted to shout out and scream that he wasn't fine. He was broken and hurt but at the end of the day no one cares. Everyone brought into the world cruelty which they forced unto him. Daylen stayed put for a few minutes. "Sir, are you alright?" the driver approached him scared to see him mot
Yulvar spent most of her morning avoiding a certain gorgeous-looking hybrid in the order.She had a world to conquer and the last thing she needed at that moment is for her to be distracted by anything. Even if that distracting was hot and alluring.She ate breakfast and lunch at two different sites in the family mansion without the knowledge of anyone.She took extra caution but now she had a meeting to discuss the plan to start on the quest to get the world under her feet and it was inevitable that she meets him at the meeting.Her mind was clouded by thoughts of everything new that was happening in her life. She discovered a sister she never knew existed. The darkness had risen from the hell hole he had been lost in and the witches and werewolves still existed among them.She called for the meeting in the room. And invited the vampires from her sire line. Vampires that were turned by her."Be seated," she instructed noting Kastor's seat being right next to hers.Her brother who was
The former moon got stood by the window and recalled the day his life fell apart.~flashback~Daylen headed out of the hotel building when the dark storms rumble overhead. The rain started pouring down heavily. He stood under the rain teary-eyed. He sprints away as fast as he could, he was wet and his clothes were sticking to his body. He didn't want to think about anything at that moment. Nothing was relevant to him. It was all worthless to the pain that he was feeling. Every fiber in his body was tearing apart. His heart breaking into a million little pieces. A gust of winds blows past and he suddenly shivers as his cold, wet clothes stick to him. It was dark outside and the streets were clear. There weren't any people walking around the roads, it felt as empty as his heart. He got down on his knees holding on to his heart. The part of his chest that was aching. It was drowning him.He walked on the road, without a destination in mind. Tears clouded his visage making it hard to
"What's your connection to my son, Sebastian?" Semil questioned Devon. Throwing him an intense streaming glare. Devon paused. "Once upon a time, we looked at each other for too long to be friends. After that..."Devon walked into the house leaving the alpha with more questions than answers. Semil struggled to understand the little god. He was complicated. He let out that which he thought was relevant and exited a conversation leaving much to the imagination. The way he spoke and acted, was calculated. Alpha Semil shook his head. The boy looked young yet his actions suggested that he had lived for a long time. "Come, Seb," Semil called over his son. He followed behind the little god. Entering the Wintermere mansion to meet the former moon god. The doors to the house were attended to by Syvan, who was clueless as to whether to let them in or send them away. "I'm Daylen's brother," Devon introduced himself. His introduction forced Syvan to step out of the way to allow them entrance.
The stars twinkled brightly in the sky. Daylen glanced at Syvan, finding him as beautiful as the day they met. The male was human now. He lacked his pale white skin and fierce eyes. It pained him. He let Shea take the part of him that he loved the most as long as meant that Syvan would be safe. Daylen didn't anticipate his sister would go back on her word and kill Syvan. The betrayal left a mark in his heart. One that gave no space for trust and friendship. Daylen was unable to open his heart to trust someone knew again. If he could go back in time he would do things differently and ensure their happy ending. Even if that happiness meant being apart. Daylen listened to the voices in his head. The voices that warned him that the love story would end up the same way it did in the past. It was always the same ending, with them going separate ways. Once was a mistake on his part when he decided to return to the silver palace. Twice was a coincidence when Shea slit them up. He wasn't
"Are you with me or against me?" the alpha asked the little god. The little god looked up from his book and gave attention to the alpha."That depends on which personality you are asking, alpha," the little god responded. Alpha Semil didn't know what to do with that answer. It was evident the little boy was good at playing mind games. He was a simple man who wasn't used to having drama in his life. Alpha Semil wasn't alright with all the attention he was receiving. Especially when they threatened the peace of his family. And endangered them. "I'm asking the boy whose eyes have cared for my son," he spoke with caution. From the conversation, he overheard between the little boy and Daylen. He made out that the boy was the moon goddess's younger brother. He wasn't a sky dancer but rather a god.Being a mere mortal, he didn't want to get caught in between their fight. But seeing as he was what they were fighting about he figured it was close to impossible to stay away from the fight. H
Syvan stared at the work of his and Seva's hands and smiled. He was pleased with what they had done in that short amount of time that they had.He had Seva fetch his charming host so that he could surprise him. He looked around for anything that was still lacking, finding it all to be perfect he stood in waiting for Daylen.His eyes stared impatiently at the entrance. His palms got sweaty from being nervous. He wanted everything to be perfect, Daylen shouldn't find any reasons to complain. It was their first dine together. After learning that he is Daylen lover reincarnated. He wished for nothing more than to be with Daylen. Seva arrived with Daylen, Daylen had his eyes blindfolded against his better judgment. The moment he stepped into the room.Syvan,'s senses went out of control, his body started shivering, and eventually, he froze. Having been in a relationship with the man in the past made him see Daylen in a new sense. Daylen was his and that made him more nervous.His mind wen
