All Chapters of Whispers Of Ember Hallow: The Luna's Awakening : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

KAELAN POV Seraphina was my mate. I never imagined I would find my mate. It wasn’t even on my radar; I was too focused on my army and training.But now, here she was—beautiful, strong, perfect, a warrior, and mine, an omega. She was also bonded to the closest people I consider family.I’ve never been one to share my partner, let alone a mate. I wanted what was mine to remain solely mine. But Aric and Roin are my brothers. If I could share anything, it would be with them.And they were strong. Together we were almost unstoppable. That strength will be needed now to protect Seraphina. She was going to be haunted now like a wolf tracking its prey, relentless and driven by a primal instinct that couldn’t be shaken.Omegas were a beacon of power. Any wolf—alphas, betas, hybrids—would want that power. In the past, wars have been waged over an omega, simply to claim her. If Seraphina were discovered, a conflict would inevitably erupt. We had just emerged from one war, and we lacked the s

RION POV "What happened?" I asked Kealen, as he gasped for breath. He looked like he'd just run a marathon. "We need… to…" He struggled to speak. "Let the man catch his breath," Aric said, handing Kaelen a cup of water. Kaelen downed the cup, then turned to Seraphina, who had left the bed and was now standing beside him, her hand on his back. His eyes softened and he took her hand and held it. "You're awake," he said, his breath slowly. "I am," she answered even though it wasn't a question. Kaelan caressed her cheeks before he dropped her hand and turned to us. "We need to leave the palace," he said, his voice more steady. "I overheard two nobles talking. They had caught Seraphina's scent." My heart dropped. "Gods, you should have seen the way they were talking about her like she was a prize to be claimed." He worked his jaw, his fist clenched. "But they don't know who she is or where she even is. O

ARIC POV "You're going to wear a hole in that rug if you keep pacing like that," I teased Rion as I watched him pace back and forth. "We can find another way," he just grumbled and continued pacing. I glanced over at Kaelen. He met my eyes and just sighed. "Pray, Rion, what other way can we find?" Rion finally stopped pacing—thank the gods. I was beginning to fear for that poor rug—and turned to Kaelan. "We can find another way, Kaelan," he said again as if trying to convince himself. "Ember Hallow is a place of terror. The spirits there demand a price, a price you might be able to pay, or a price you might never be able to pay. But pay you must. If you don't, the spirits will inflict a fate worse than death." "Those are just words on paper, Rion," I said. "They're not!" Rion shouted, his eyes blowing wide. "They're not," he repeated in a smaller voice. "This warning comes from someone who's been there, who's seen the horrors firsthand. And my gut tells me it's true. Ever since

SERAPHINA POV I sighed as I played around with my food, my appetite abandoning me. "Is all well, Seraphina?" Kaelan asked from where he was seated across from me, a book in front of him. "This is the fifth time in as many minutes that you've sighed.""I'm okay," I said even as I sighed again. Kaelan chuckled softly and I raised my head to look at him. "Do you know what the word 'okay' means?""Yes, clearly," I grumbled. Kaelan dropped his book and walked to me, kneeling in front of me. The sight of him on his knees for me was beautiful. He was beautiful. I felt the heat radiating from him, drawing me in, and my breath caught in my throat. His fingers brushed against my knee, sending a shiver up my spine, and I leaned forward, captivated by the magnetic pull between us."Tell me what bothers you, Lumièrea," he said softly, his voice low and velvety as if weaving a spell just for me, and he took my hand into his and planted a kiss on all of my fingers. Lumièrea. My light. I lov

SERAPHINA POV "That is a lot of loads you guys are carrying," Miranda said with a soft laugh. "A month is a lot of time to be on the road, Miranda," Kaelan answered. A sweet shiver ran through my body at the sound of his voice. Ever since we've sealed our bond two nights ago I've been responding intensely to his touch, voice, even his presence in ways I didn't think was possible. I felt him everywhere. Is this how it's going to feel when I seal the bond with Rion and Aric? Gods, I couldn't wait. "And we also have to make His Highness here comfortable," Aric said, throwing his arm around Rion's shoulder. "He will be without his princely bed." "Shut your mouth, Aric," Rion said, pushing Aric off. "You'll also miss your hot bath. There wouldn't be any hot springs on the road for you to dip your long limbs into."Aric sighed and picked up the bag to load on the carriage. I glanced at the carriage. It wasn’t extravagant—just an ordinary traveling carriage. No one would suspect the
