Chapter 19: Moonblood Pact
The moon was bleeding.
Above the ancient glade of silverwood trees, its swollen orb dripped red light like the slow tears of a goddess betrayed. The leaves shimmered under its sorrowful glow, their edges pearled with dew that smelled faintly of jasmine and ash. Shadows moved like silken dancers across the forest floor, and the runes etched into the stones of the Moon Temple glimmered as if stirred by unseen breath.
Lucas Gray stood barefoot in the clearing's heart, his chest bare, the Lustborn sigil pulsing like a second heart across his skin. Cool wind curled through his dark hair, and the scent of moonflower oil and elven perfume lingered around him like a promise half-whispered.
She was coming.
Selene.
Not just the Moon Queen—but the woman beneath the crown. The one whose soul he'd kissed in dreamfire. The one who had moaned for him beneath starlit veils and ice-laced fear.
Tonight would be no dream.
Tonight, she would bleed silver.
She emerged like myth from the fog.
Selene wore only strands of moonbeads and veils of translucent silk that clung to her form with divine reluctance. Her white hair cascaded like a comet's tail, and her pale skin shimmered as if lit from within. But her eyes—those starlit irises that so often watched from a throne—were soft, wide, and full of trembling decision.
"I am not a queen tonight," she whispered, voice raw as a prayer unspoken. "Not here. Not before you."
Lucas stepped forward, hands trembling not from fear—but reverence.
"You never were just a queen to me."
He reached out, brushing his fingertips along her jaw, and the bond between them sparked again—psychic, holy, erotic. The dreamfire lit once more behind his eyes, the same silver warmth that had bared her loneliness and opened her heart.
She leaned in, nuzzling her cheek into his palm, breath catching as his touch lingered.
"I've waited centuries for this night," she said. "But not for a man of titles. For you, Lucas Gray. Lustborn… and something more."

Lucas took her hand. "Do you feel it too?"
Selene nodded, but tears traced down her cheeks—silver, not salt.
"I feel… terror. Hope. Hunger I was never allowed. They told me I had to remain pure. That to serve the moon was to belong to none."
Lucas bent forward, pressing a kiss to her trembling lips. "They lied."
She gasped. "Show me. Not as your queen. As your woman."
They walked together to the moonstone dais. Each step she took shed another veil, until she stood before him radiant and untouched, her body carved from goddess light, her curves elegant and trembling. Her breasts were full and high, dusted with shimmer; the faintest hint of a silver crest—a tattoo shaped like crescent wings—glowed just above her navel.
Lucas dropped to his knees.
"I worship you."
He kissed her navel. Her thighs. Her knees.
Selene shivered, hands threading through his hair. "And I… surrender."
He rose and drew her against him, skin to skin.
Every inch of contact sang with magic. Her breath caught. The bond flared. Lust, yes—but more than that. Reverence. Trust. The sacred ache of union not taken but earned.
Lucas guided her down to the altar, her pale legs parting around his waist like opening petals.

Selene whimpered as he kissed her throat, then lower. His tongue traced the crescent-shaped mark on her womb, and her back arched with a cry like breaking glass.
Silver light exploded from her skin.
Her hands clutched at him now, hips lifting in invitation.
"Please," she breathed. "Take me. Make the moon weep for us."
Lucas entered her slowly.
Her body clutched around him like divine velvet—tight, warm, and sacred.
The moment he broke her virgin seal, a pulse of moonlight shot skyward from the altar, splitting the clouds. Her scream wasn't pain—but revelation.
"Oh stars… I'm yours…"
He moved in her with reverence, each thrust syncing with the moon's pulse. Magic flooded them both. Her legs locked around him, her voice breaking in elven as her climax built.

Selene shattered around him with a moan that echoed across the forest.
Moonlight burst from her skin as her orgasm rippled through the sacred glade, awakening forgotten runes and stirring the wind into a vortex. Lucas came with her, and their release wasn't just physical—it was divine.
The altar cracked beneath them, vines blooming instantly from the fracture. A new tree sprouted—white-barked, silver-leafed, bearing blossoms shaped like stars.
After, Selene lay against him, her head on his chest, her breath soft.
"We are bound now," she whispered. "In ways the gods once feared."
Lucas brushed a thumb across her lips. "Then let them fear us."
The moon hung heavy above them—no longer bleeding, but reborn.
And in the glade, a new power pulsed in Lucas's veins.
With a whisper, he vanished—appearing at the edge of a distant glen.
The Moonblood Pact was sealed.
As Lucas returned to the glade, arms still full of Selene's trembling form, a shadow watched from the edge of the silverwood.
A woman with black wings and eyes like dying stars.
Raviana, the fallen angel, smiled.
"So the moon is his now. Then I suppose… the heavens are next."
