All Chapters of Moonbound desire : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The forest was dense, thick with the scent of moss and earth. Every step the group took was muffled by the layers of underbrush, but the oppressive silence around them felt like a warning. As they traveled deeper into the heart of the woods, Selene couldn’t shake the sensation that they were being watched. The shadows seemed to stretch unnaturally, and every gust of wind carried with it the unsettling hum of something dark, waiting.She glanced back at Ronan, whose strong features were etched with something she couldn’t quite place—a quiet tension, a weariness that hadn’t been there before. Beside him, Cassian walked with his usual impassive expression, though Selene had learned to read the flickers of thought behind his eyes. He was more guarded now than he had ever been, and it only made the silence more suffocating.The three of them had been traveling for days, keeping a swift pace through the thick wilderness. The danger was palpable; the Order of Ash was getting closer, she coul

The air grew deathly still.Even with the stone walls of the stronghold trembling, even with Elias gasping on the floor and Ronan crackling with unstable power beside her, Selene’s attention was locked on the woman who had just emerged from the shadows.She wore a crown of living thorns that pulsed with dark magic, as if feeding from her mind. Her eyes were black as a starless void, skin pale against the blood-red runes etched along her throat. When she moved, the shadows moved with her—like she wasn’t just commanding them, but was part of them.“The vessel,” she murmured again, her voice sweet and sharp like a poisoned blade. Her gaze swept over Ronan, hunger simmering behind it. “I had almost given up hope.”Selene instinctively stepped in front of him.“You’re not touching him.”The queen’s smile deepened. “How darling. Do you even know what he is, little starborn?” Her voice slithered into the corners of the cavern, echoing off the walls. “Your brother thought himself clever, awak

Selene’s breath caught in her throat.The forest around her was still, too still. Wind rustled the trees in whispers, but the night held its breath like it knew something was coming.She shot upright from where she’d been resting, her heart pounding with more than just instinct. She had felt it—Ronan’s magic, flaring across the bond that still pulsed beneath her skin like a second heartbeat.“He’s alive,” she whispered again, this time with certainty.Across the campfire, Varian stirred. “You’re sure?”“Yes.” Selene pressed her palm to her chest. “I felt him. His power… and something else. Something ancient.”Cassian groaned nearby, still weak from the earlier battle. His wounds had begun to heal under Selene’s magic, but he hadn’t fully regained consciousness.Varian stood, scanning the dark treeline. “Then we need to move. If you felt him—”“She did too,” Selene finished. Her voice dropped to a whisper. “The Queen.”The shadows in the woods thickened at the mention of her. Selene st

Ronan’s POVThe darkness was suffocating, thick and ever-encroaching, yet it didn’t bother him anymore. It was the silence that gnawed at him—the oppressive, hollow silence that seemed to stretch on forever. He’d long since lost track of how many hours, days, or weeks had passed since he last saw the outside world.His muscles ached with the heaviness of confinement, the chains wrapped around his wrists digging into his skin with every attempt to move. There was no escape.No hope.He couldn’t remember how he had ended up here. The last thing he recalled was the battle—Selene, his promise to protect her, the Queen’s wrath crashing down on them like a storm. And then… nothing. A sharp pain at the back of his head, the world spinning, and the sudden plunge into this dark, endless abyss.He had no idea where he was, only that he was alone.The Queen’s magic was woven into his mind, suffocating his thoughts, twisting his memories. She had stolen his will, placed him in a cage of his own m

The air crackled with tension as the forest around them seemed to hold its breath. Selene’s heart pounded in her chest, her every step echoing in the thick silence that had fallen over the group. Ronan, ever watchful, stayed close, his eyes scanning their surroundings as though the very shadows might come to life.“They’re near,” Selene whispered, her voice barely audible against the rustling of the wind. She could feel the Queen’s presence growing stronger, a dark energy that seeped through the earth and into the sky. The Queen’s pursuit was relentless, and it was only a matter of time before they were trapped.“Stay close,” Ronan muttered, his hand brushing against her arm, a silent reassurance. His touch lingered for a moment longer than necessary, and Selene could feel the heat of his skin against hers. The connection between them, born of shared battles and secrets, had deepened in ways neither of them had anticipated.But there was no time to think about that now. The path ahead
