Blood Moon Vow
My name is Lysara of the Vimpare, born of shadow and ancient blood. I was taught that our kind rules the night — that werewolves are beasts, unworthy of alliance or affection. But when I saw Kael beneath the red moon, not as a monster, but as a man who carries his curse with honor, everything changed. Now, my heart defies centuries of hatred. The Elders whisper of war if our bond is revealed. And yet… every heartbeat pulls me closer to him. This isn’t just love. It’s rebellion.I shouldn’t be here. The wind bites through my thin cloak as I crouch behind the obsidian ruins, heart pounding like a war drum. Below, in the valley of Emberspine, Kael shifts under the rising moon — fur melting into flesh, muscles reshaping, breath steadying. He’s beautiful. Dangerous. Mine.
But the scent of my fear betrays me. A Lupine sentry snarls, catching my trace on the air. Kael turns, eyes glowing amber, and mouths one word: Run.
Behind me, shadows deepen — three Vimpare enforcers descend silently, daggers drawn, ordered to retrieve me… or end me if I resist. I clutch the locket he gave me, warm with his blood magic.
Do I flee into the wilds with him, knowing it means war? Do I surrender to my kin, breaking both our hearts? Or do I draw the blade at my side and defy them all?
