Chapter 8

Elowen POV

12:00 AM.

A

65

The clock clicked over, and my eyes snapped open like someone had dumped ice water straight into my

soul.

My skin tingled.

The air shifted.

I sat up in bed, heart thudding loud and fast, and then the dream slammed into me like a freight train I’d already survived once tonight.

Flashes of needles.

Cages lined in silver.

Blood.

The symbol again…white mask. Black blade. Silver cage.

The screams weren’t strangers this time.

They were mine.

And then…

Moonlight.

Soft. Warm. Calling.

My breath caught in my throat as the glow intensified in the corner of the room.

Something shimmered….Took shape.

And there..glowing like the night sky wrapped in stardust, her silver eyes ancient and burning with knowledge..stood a woman cloaked in lunar light.

Selene.

Chapter 8

The Moon Goddess.

My goddess.

“Oh, I whispered. “Shit.”

She smiled softly, and somehow it made everything worse.

“Elowen,” she said, her voice velvet and thunder. “My vessel. My wild one. You were born for more than this pack. More than this forest.”

I couldn’t move.

Couldn’t breathe.

“I don’t understand,” I whispered. “Why me?”

Her eyes glowed. “Because you are both. Fae and Wolf. Moon and Magic. You are the balance they tried to

erase.”

I blinked. “Who’s they?”

Her face hardened. “The Aegis Protocol. They’ve hunted your kind for centuries. They believe power like yours should not exist.”

My stomach dropped. “But… I’m just a wolf.”

“No,” she said gently. “You are the last hybrid born of a true union. A child of love, not experimentation. That makes you the most dangerous creature in existence to them. And the only hope for everyone else.”

I couldn’t speak. Couldn’t think.

“You must prepare. You must awaken.”

And then she was gone.

Moonlight faded.

Silence fell.

And all that remained was the chest in the corner, glowing softly with silver runes.

I didn’t hesitate.

65

I slid out of bed and crawled to the chest like it was a damn altar. The lock clicked open with a pulse of warm magic, and inside…two envelopes rested on top of folded cloth and ancient scrolls.

One from my father.

One from my mother.

My hands shook as I opened the first.

Elowen,

If you’re reading this, it means you’re eighteen. It means I didn’t make it to tell you the truth in person. I’m sorry for that.

Your mother and I… we weren’t supposed to be together. Fae and wolves are forbidden to bond. But we did. And we made you.

You are more than a girl with a strong wolf. You are the Moon’s Chosen. The balance. The key to ending the war that’s coming.

You’ve been spelled to keep your fae side dormant. Not to harm you…but to protect you.

When the time comes, find the witch in Scotland. Her name is Morrigan. She will remove the spell and awaken who you truly are.

They will come for you, Elowen. But you are not alone. Trust your instincts. And when the time comes… trust

your mates.

I love you more than this world could hold.

-Caelan- Your Father

I didn’t even realize I was crying until the second letter blurred.

This one was written in flowing, delicate script, perfumed faintly with something wild and floral and

ancient.

My darling daughter,

Forgive me. For the silence. For the spell. For every day I wasn’t able to hold you. The fae realm imprisoned me for choosing love. For choosing your father. For choosing you.
