All Chapters of Moon Fire Reborn : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KAI’S POV The metallic scent of blood hit my nose. It wasn’t just anyone’s, the blood oozed from Selena's body. As I lunged to Selena’s side, I saw that she laid crumpled on the dirty ground, her breathing coming out in shallow breaths and her body unnaturally still. My heart thundered in my chest as I dropped to my knees, my hands shaking as I carefully turned her over. “Selena,” I whispered, the sight of her pale face tightening a knot of anger and fear in my stomach. Blood soaked her back, the claw marks ruining her perfect skin. Flora stepped forward, her face holding a little bit of remorse as she tried to explain herself. “I—I didn’t mean—” I snapped my head toward her, lashing out at her in a venomous voice. “Don’t you dare speak!” Flora flinched, but I wasn’t done. Rising to my feet, I strode over to her, my anger radiating like an hellish fire. “You struck her after yielding. That is dishonorable, and I won’t tolerate it.” The elders moved to intervene, their robes sway

SELENA'S POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was that I was alive. I had survived being struck at the back out of the sudden. Now I was in a bed—not mine, but a bed nevertheless.I was in Kai's domain, lying on his massive bed that had its dark velvet bed sheets stretching endlessly under my fingertips. I allowed myself to sink into its comfort, feeling the exhaustion tugging off me like a layer of clothing. “Kai?” I called softly in a whisper, looking around for any traces of that familiar silhouette, but only silence answered back.Pushing myself upright, I swept my gaze around the room once more. The golden morning light filtered through heavy curtains, painting the space in a warm glow. His presence was everywhere. His clothes neatly hung on a chair, his signature scent wafting into the air. Yet the man himself was absent.“Kai,” I tried again, this time louder, but still no response.The fear that it might all have been another cruel dream disturbed me. I could r

SELENA’S POVI sat by the cracked window, my fingers tracing the jagged edges of the old book of spells on my lap. The pages seemed to hum with ancient power, each word etched in a language I barely understood but felt deeply. It had become my lifeline, the one tool I trusted to end Damon’s reign and free myself from the chains of my past.Renn’s voice from the night before still echoed in my mind, sharp and urgent.“Damon’s declared a challenge to capture you, Selena. He’s desperate to keep his power intact. You need to be careful.”Careful. The word almost made me laugh. When has my life ever allowed me the luxury of caution?Kai’s cold behavior over the past few days only added to my frustrations. Ever since I had told him about the prophecy, and the story behind me being reborn from the past, he had been distant. He avoided my eyes, not only made me start living in his house, but also locking me inside a room he had roughly prepared for me like some fragile doll when he usually le

SELENA’S POVFuck, I should have known better.I shouldn't have trusted him. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to stay on guard, to not let down my walls. Yet when Gideon looked at me with those tearful eyes, claiming he wanted to fight by my side, I let myself believe. In what felt like centuries, I let myself hope for the first time.But now, with the iron cuffs biting into my wrists, I realized that I was a fool for believing someone who used to treat me like trash. Here I was, shackled to a damp, stone wall in Damon’s palace prison.The atmosphere was thick with the stench of rotting, hopelessness, and the distant sound of dripping water that echoed through the cell.I clenched my fists, ignoring the pain of the cuffs digging into my skin. How could I have been so stupid?Gideon had lured me in with soft words and false promises. The moment I lowered my guard, he had attacked, binding me with charmed ropes and dragging me through the woods like a prized catch. I of all people

SELENA’S POVMy wrists ached from the tight grip of the guards as they dragged me down endless stone hallways. I didn’t fight them—I couldn’t. Whatever potion they had forced down my throat earlier had drained almost all my strength. Celestia, was barely like a whisper in my mind and her presence resembled the flickering of a candle struggling to stay lit.We stopped in a big room, the oppressive darkness broken by only the faint glow of a few torches mounted on the walls. At the center of the room stood Gideon, his expression unreadable as he turned to my direction, as the guards brought me forward, his piercing eyes locking onto mine.“So, this is what you’ve been reduced to,” he said in a very low and cold voice. “I have heard your story, Selena. The once-proud Luna of the Silver Moon pack is now a prisoner in her own kingdom.”I wanted to snap back, to tell him I wasn’t done yet, that he should fear my coming. back. But my throat was dry, and my voice failed me. Instead, I lifted
