The house watches her, its halls stretching like the remnants of a dream she once knew but cannot name.He stands in the space between shadow and light, his eyes holding the weight of a thousand unspoken goodbyes.She steps closer, drawn by something deeper than memory, something fragile yet inevitable.Love is already there, quiet and waiting, but with every touch, every whispered breath, the curse tightens around them.Somewhere in the folds of time, in verses left behind by hands long gone, the truth waits-but to find it is to accept that love, once held, must also slip away.······················································𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 2025 | Cover Credits: @𝒂𝒍𝒇𝒂𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒂 Primary Prompt #2: 𝑻𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕Secondary Prompt #55: 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆.Secondary Prompt #66: 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚-𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔.

"What are you even doing here, Azshara? We are already divorced. If you want anything, you can directly ask my assistant for help." He said, irritated that she would come after years just on the day he wanted no mistakes.She smirked as she quietly approached him and whispered in his ears."What do you mean, Mr. Hades? You are the one who invited the Alpha of Lightshade. I am here for business.""So, you are the Luna of Light Shade?" He asked confused. It wasn't possible for Azshara to marry another man when she loved him, right?"I am not anyone's Luna. I am the Alpha." She chuckled. She leaned even closer than before as she whispered the words that could make anyone shiver."The prey is now the predator." ***Azshara Nightshade, the Luna of the Moon Banes pack gets discarded after the former lover of the Alpha, Cesare Hades is found. Even though Azshara was the mate bestowed by the Goddess, she was not strong enough to deserve an Alpha like Cesare. Years after their separation, a newly formed pack, Light Shade, rises in the ranks of strength and reputation and catches the eye of all packs. And soon, all packs ally to support Light Shade in overthrowing Moon Banes. A war between Moon Banes and Light Shade would be no less than a massacre. And it would weaken both the packs during which others would get an opportunity to subjugate the most powerful packs. But no one ever expected both of them to ally. And no one, not even Cesare, knew how a discarded Luna became an Alpha.Cover credits: @Alfaesha…
