Chapter 49
Luna’s eyes fluttered open, the golden morning light streaming through the window, casting a soft glow across the room. The first thing she saw was Elion—sitting beside her, a leg folded beneath him, the other resting on the floor. His fingers combed gently through her hair, slow and tender, like he was afraid she might break.A smile curved her lips. “You’re up early.”He glanced down at her, returning the smile, his voice low and warm. “I didn’t want to miss the moment your eyes opened.”She reached up, her fingers lightly touching his arm. “You’re such a romantic.” she whispered, amused.Elion leaned down, brushing his nose against hers. “Only with you. The world can wait. This… this is my peace.”Luna chuckled softly, then bit her lip. “You make me feel like I’m already home.”“You are.” he whispered. “Right here… with me.”She gazed up at him, heart full, eyes soft. “You look at me like I’m magic.”He kissed her forehead, lingering there. “Because you are. You brought me back to

The morning light was soft, streaking gold across the marble floor of the Citadel as Luna padded down the corridor. She’d been looking for Noah. Something in her heart urged her toward the east balcony.And there he was.Leaning on the carved railing, arms crossed, his gaze fixed far into the horizon where mist curled above the Arcanian trees. The wind tousled his hair slightly, and he didn’t move when she approached.“You always this dramatic in the mornings?” Luna asked gently, a teasing edge in her voice.Noah glanced at her, then gave the faintest smile. “Only when the sun rises too slow.”She stepped beside him, folding her arms on the railing too. “You’re not the same guy who choked on a poisonous berry in Mystoria.”His smile twitched again, but faded quickly. “Yeah, well… it feels like a hundred years ago.”Luna looked at him carefully. There it was again—that shadow in his eyes. The weight. Not just from magic or travel, but something deeper.“Talk to me.”Noah sighed through

Morning light poured into the healing chamber, casting a golden glow over Luna’s face. A slow, delicate flutter of her eyelashes sent Elion’s heart hammering in his chest. Then, with a quiet breath, her eyes opened.He froze.For a moment, he thought he was dreaming. He had spent the last two days fearing he would never see those eyes again. His grip on the armrest tightened as his vision blurred with unshed tears."Luna..." His voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper.She turned her head slightly, her gaze meeting his. There was a quiet confusion in her expression, as if she herself couldn't believe what was happening."I... woke up?" she murmured. Her own voice startled her. "I shouldn't be alive."Elion exhaled shakily, reaching forward, brushing his fingers against hers. “You ARE alive.” His thumb ran over her knuckles, grounding himself. “And I’m never letting you go again.”Luna blinked at him, taking in the exhaustion written all over his face—his unkempt hair, his slight
Chapter 46
Elion walked into the healing room, his steps slow and heavy. His body was feverish, his skin damp with sweat. His dark hair was tousled, strands falling over his forehead. The laces of his shirt hung loose, exposing the sculpted lines of his chest. The small cat padded in behind him, its sharp eyes fixed on his every movement.The magic cloud surrounding Luna had begun to fade, wisps of shimmering energy dispersing into the air. She lay still, her face pale but peaceful. He lowered himself onto the chair beside her, his fingers trembling as he reached for her hand."Luna." he whispered, his voice raw. He swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "I never told you… how much I love you."His thumb brushed over her knuckles, tracing the delicate lines. "I dream about you. About us. A life beyond battles and bloodshed. Waking up beside you every morning, calling you mine. Watching you smile as the sun touches your face."His breath hitched, and he exhaled shakily. "I would show you the world,
Chapter 45
As the morning light seeped through the high windows of the Citadel, Mara and Veylan stood near the grand wooden table, the ancient scroll between them. The others were still asleep, exhaustion keeping them in their chambers, but Mara and Veylan had much to discuss.Veylan’s fingers traced the edges of the scroll. “This holds power beyond reckoning.” he murmured. “And yet, ‘tis but a mere piece of parchment. The incantations it contains... They are not meant for just anyone.”Mara folded her arms. “It troubles me. The Greywing carries it, yet Noah—when I spoke to him—was unwilling to tell me much. He is wise, yet he evaded my questions. There is something they do not reveal.”Veylan nodded, his gaze darkening. “And why should they? The Crown Prince of Eldoria, a human of great intellect, and the Beta of the strongest werewolf pack do not accompany an ordinary traveler. Luna is more than they claim.” He exhaled sharply. “She is the Greywing. That alone makes her unique. But there is mo

The next morning, the heavy doors of the healing chamber creaked open as the servants entered, their expressions grim. Veylan, who had stood watch near the window, turned at once, his sharp gaze falling upon them.One of the elder servants stepped forward, bowing his head. “My lord, we hath searched through tomes both ancient and forbidden, yet no record speaks of such ailing as this.”Mara’s fingers tightened around the edge of Luna’s bed. “None?” she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. “Not a verse, nor whisper of affliction akin to this?”The servant shook his head. “Nay, my lady. The scrolls tell of many a curse, wounds both of flesh and spirit, yet none match the plight of the Greywing.”Veylan exhaled, his brow furrowing. “Then our knowledge is wanting. If the wisdom of old doth not yield an answer, we must seek it elsewhere.”Mara nodded solemnly, then glanced toward the others. Elion sat beside Luna, his fingers still wrapped around hers, though exhaustion weighed heavily u
