Winter Waning : Dark Of The Moon
Updated at Aug 3, 2020, 03:53
“My love is limitless,” she whispers into the cool of dusk, her fingers delicately tracing the outline of my face as if committing to memory and I shudder, “free from borders or constraints," she concludes proudly. “So you love me then?” I breathe with a silent fear seemingly echoing beneath my ribcage – I want her to love me, I need it; rejection would mean me turning to dust and fading in the wind. Ruelle smirks playfully. Her full, cherry lips slightly curled into one of those rare smiles I adore so much, a perfect sight before her fingers tangle with my hair and draw me into a gentle kiss. My lips part willingly. In a moment that passes like a lifetime, she finally speaks – “I do, Juniper,” she utters in a way that draws all air from my lungs, “for all the impossibilities and to spite them, I love you.” •●• Despite parallel worlds, either by destiny's design or cruel consequence, Ruelle Lovette and Juniper Crane find each other in the waning of winter and their world as they know it. Ruelle, a self-righteous Alpha King born of power and privilege, must confront her demons at play or face collapse under the moon's weight. Juniper, a wolf-less girl born in dirt, learns to love the damned in a kingdom of masked rejection, all while recreating herself from nothingness. Love conquers all - or so they hope. Can one really trade power and victory for f*******n love? Can they withstand the multiple forces, from the council of kings, mates and haunted pasts, to the moon goddess herself? Juniper's heart will stand the trials but wonder still if she is enough for the Alpha King who loves victory more than herself.
