Whispers Of Ember Hallow: The Luna's Awakening のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

ARIC POV The sun dipped low on the horizon as I guided the weary horses toward the modest inn. Rion sat next to me, glancing back at Seraphina, who pressed her nose against the carriage window, her eyes wide with wonder.Her eyes have been this way since we left the kingdom three days back. She viewed everything with new eyes, smiled and laughed at the smallest things, and asked a million questions. Watching her alone made my heart light. The danger we were going to face seemed worth it if it brought her this much joy. Within three days, she was visibly improving: her complexion brightened, her weight returned, and her eyes sparkled with newfound life. "Look at that!" she exclaimed, pointing at a cluster of villagers gathered around a bonfire, laughter spilling into the evening air. "Can we stop there tomorrow? I want to see their festival!"Kaelan, leaning against the opposite wall, chuckled. "You’re a curious one, Seraphina. We’ll have to keep moving if we want to reach the moun

KAELAN POV The mountains towered above us, their stark, jagged silhouettes cutting sharply against the pale sky. The chill in the air clung to my skin, a constant reminder of how close I’d come to death on that collapsing bridge. The memory sent a shiver down my spine, but I tried to shake it off, focusing instead on the rhythmic cadence of Seraphina’s horse beneath me. Since I had lost my horse I was riding with her. I wrapped my arms tightly around her waist, grateful for the warmth she offered as we rode together. The world felt unnaturally quiet; no birds, no rustling leaves—only the crunch of gravel underfoot and the distant echo of our hooves. It was as if nature itself had held its breath, waiting for something I couldn’t name.The silence was unnerving. Hours passed, yet no sign of life, not even a creature to break the stillness. And no haven in sight. We were stranded, our carriage gone, no inn to offer shelter. Nightfall loomed, bringing with it a growing sense of uneas

RION POV That thing was back. I didn't know what it was, only that I'd had a sickening feeling in my guts last night that told me it was nothing good. My magic hasn't been at ease even after the thing had left. All day I have felt uncomfortable, had felt this pricking feeling like unseen eyes were watching me. It had stopped at some point but now it was back. It seems whatever this thing was, it had followed us. I ran to Aric and took his hands, trying to push him to move but he dug his heels on the ground and wouldn't budge. "Aric, you have to move," I urged, trying to keep my voice steady. "I can't, goddammit!" he shouted, his face pale. Seraphina and Kaelan also tried to move Aric but it seems like he was held down by unseen force: he wouldn't budge, not even a bit. "Help me," the voice came again, closer than it had been the first time. "Fuck," Kaelan cursed, his fist clenched. Seraphina looked at me, and even without her speaking I knew. She wanted me to use my magic.

SERAPHINA POV I moaned loudly when Aric pinched my nipple before he took it into his mouth. Rion swallowed the moan as he bent and kissed me, sucking on my tongue. Kaelen was behind me, kneading my ass before his hand went in front and circled my clit. I panted against Rion's mouth, feeling the men everywhere. When Aric bit my nipple gently at the time Kaelen entered a finger into my heat, I pulled away from Rion, panting as I fought to regain my breath. "Gods," I moaned when Kaelan's finger entered deep. The pleasure felt overwhelming and I never wanted it to stop. Kaelen's finger slipped away from me, and I moaned at the emptiness. Kaelen stepped into my line of sight as Rion moved behind me."You look so beautiful like this, Lumièrea," Kaelen whispered, his eyes filled with admiration. He leaned down and trailed kisses on my cheeks, jaw and neck while Rion added two fingers into me and Aric turned my face for a deep kiss filled with tongue. "Face flushed," Kaelen continued. "L

SERAPHINA POV The pond vanished, taking my men and my headache with it. I found myself kneeling before an altar, a statue of a woman before me. Not just any woman, a goddess. But even her face was obscured, blurry as if someone was deliberately hiding her identity. Sunlight poured down on me from the opening in the ceiling, the heat soaking into my skin but I still didn't move from where I knelt. I knelt and prayed and cried until finally, my goddess answered. "Nymeria, my child," she said, her voice soft and her hands warm on my cheeks. "My queen," I greeted, my voice trembling. I raised my eyes to look at her beautiful face before I lowered them. "I had thought you won't answer my call.""I will always answer, my dear. Always."I inhaled a shakily breath. "Thank you, my queen." "You are distressed. Tell me what bothers you." A tear down my eye and I quickly wrapped it before I said, "I have come to ask for your help, my queen. I have seen my mates’ death. I have watched them
