HIATUS Representative of the Moon Goddess

Echoes of Home - Ties That Bind

In the quiet solitude of her dorm room at Mystic Moon Academy, Selene found a moment to connect with her family. The longing for their comforting voices was a constant companion, a reminder of the world she had left behind.

With her phone in hand, she dialed her family's number. Her heart raced as she waited, the anticipation of hearing their voices almost overwhelming. After a few rings, her older brother, Matthew, answered. His voice was a comforting balm to her soul.

"Hello?" Matthew's tone was warm, tinged with curiosity.

Selene couldn't help but smile as she replied, "It's me, Matthew. It's Sophia."

Recognition dawned in his voice, and his enthusiasm resonated through the phone. "Selene! It's so good to hear your voice. How's everything at Mystic Moon Academy?"

Selene leaned back against her dorm room wall, feeling a rush of emotions as she began to recount her experiences. "It's different, Matthew. The academy is a place of secrets, and it feels like there's something mysterious at every corner. But I've made some friends, Olivia and Emma. They've been my rock in this unfamiliar world."

Matthew's interest was palpable as he probed for more details. "Tell me about them. How did you meet them?"

As Selene began to share her journey, her voice filled with the excitement of new friendships, and the challenges of adapting to a life filled with supernatural beings. She described the moments of laughter, the late-night chats, and how Olivia and Emma had become a support system that she dearly needed.

"Olivia, she's like a beacon of charm and positivity," Selene explained. "She's fiercely loyal and always stands up for her friends. And Emma, she's the sweetest soul, with an innocence that's so refreshing in this complex world. I can't imagine going through all of this without them."

Matthew listened intently, and she could almost picture his proud smile on the other end of the line. "It sounds like you're in good company. And don't forget, Selene, you're strong too. You have the heart of an alpha."

The warmth of her brother's words washed over her, bolstering her spirits. Despite the distance, the connection she shared with her family was unwavering. It was a lifeline that kept her grounded in the face of the enigmatic challenges of Mystic Moon Academy.

But she couldn't help but be more candid, especially with her brother's mate, Daphne. Daphne had a knack for encouraging her to open up, and her understanding presence was like a soothing balm to Selene's soul.

Selene began to recount her encounters with the Quads, their enigmatic personalities, and the mysteries that seemed to cling to them like a shroud.

"Hudson," she started, "he's just mean to everyone. It's like he has a wall around him that's impossible to break through. I don't understand why he's like that."

Daphne's voice was a comforting embrace as she replied, "Some people build walls, Selene, to protect themselves. There might be more to Hudson than meets the eye. Give it time, and you might uncover what's hidden behind those walls."

Selene appreciated Daphne's insight, and as she delved deeper into the complex dynamics at the academy, she couldn't help but share her feelings about Ronan and Connor.

"Ronan and Connor," she sighed, "they've been getting closer to Jessica. It's like she's their center of attention, and it hurts, Daphne. It really does."

Daphne's voice held a mix of empathy and wisdom. "Selene, my dear, the path of love is rarely straightforward. Perhaps they have their reasons, but you have your own path, too. Trust in the Moon Goddess, and she will guide your heart."

Selene couldn't help but add, "There's something else, Daphne. When I met Oscar, he recognized me immediately, almost as if he always sees me for who I really am."

Daphne's tone softened, "Oscar has always had a keen intuition. Trust in the connections you make, Selene. The mysteries of this academy are deep, and you're part of a destiny that only time will reveal."

Selene found solace in Daphne's words. It was a reminder that, even though she was navigating the complex maze of the academy, she wasn't alone. The connection she had with her family, despite the physical distance, was an anchor that kept her steady amidst the swirling secrets and intrigues of Mystic Moon Academy.
