Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: A Virgin Throne

"There are thrones built from steel, others from gold. But hers is carved from silence, from restraint, from a vow never broken... until now."

Moonlight spilled like sacred wine across the alabaster tiles of the High Temple of Lunea. The air shimmered with cold incense and divinity, and each step Lucas took echoed like a prophecy spoken too loud. The silver columns towered toward a sky of eternal twilight, veined with arcane runes that pulsed in rhythm with his heart.

He could feel her waiting.

Selene.

Queen of the Moonborne Elves. Priestess of Starlight. Virgin Oracle of the Pale Goddess.

And tonight, the lock to a divine secret he was dangerously close to breaking.

His crimson mantle dragged behind him, dusting the obsidian threshold. The sigil on his chest pulsed—not in threat, but anticipation. His Lustborn mark was reacting violently. Not to danger… but to desire unspoken for centuries.

Lucas swallowed. Even now, his power crackled beneath his skin, barely contained. Since merging with Aurelia and Sylrielle, his body pulsed with elemental fire and elven grace—but Selene was something else. She was still untasted, untouched, unbroken.

She was divine law in the form of a woman.

And yet, in her presence, his hunger grew.

She awaited him on the altar.

Not sitting, not standing—but floating, cross-legged, her body wrapped in translucent gossamer that shimmered like stardust. Moonlight bled through her veil, illuminating the sharp line of her collarbone, the curve of her hips suspended midair, the long sweep of silvery-white hair that defied gravity.

Her eyes opened. Not violet, not blue—but the color of distant galaxies.

"You've come, Lustborn."

Her voice was barely a whisper, but it rang inside his bones. A command. A confession.

Lucas bowed. "You summoned me, Your Grace."

"I summoned fate," she said. "And it arrived in the shape of your hunger."

She descended slowly, her bare feet touching the cold marble like mist over glass. The temple hummed as her toes met the floor—an unseen ward activating, recognizing a sacred moment.

"Do you know why I remained a virgin, Lucas Gray?"

His throat dried. "Because your communion with the Pale Goddess demands it."

"Yes," she said. Then, softer, "And because no man—mortal or divine—was worthy enough to bear the collapse of what breaking me would awaken."

Lucas stepped forward, the air thickening.

"Then why allow me here? Why call a Lustborn, whose very essence is to undo the sacred?"

Selene studied him. Her expression did not waver—but a pulse of starlight flared over her chest, responding to his power.

"Because the stars have shifted. My visions now end with you."

He blinked. "You've seen me?"

"Since before your rebirth. I watched your soul fall from the heavens like a red comet. I dreamed of your voice before I knew your name. And last night, I awoke… wet."

Lucas's heartbeat thundered.

"I cannot afford desire," Selene said. "But I cannot deny it anymore. The Pale Goddess has gone silent. I fear her silence is… approval."

She reached behind her and slowly unpinned the veil from her shoulders.

It floated down like a falling prayer.

She stood before him, bathed in argent glow. Her body was sculpted elegance—slender, tall, her skin like moonmilk, faintly glowing. Her breasts were modest and perfect, crowned by dusky rose tips. A thin strip of silken hair trailed from her navel downward, a pale silver barely darker than her skin. She was ethereal—real yet otherworldly.

"I've fasted from pleasure for centuries," Selene whispered. "But my soul calls to yours."

Lucas reached out, cupping her cheek.

"Then let me show you pleasure that worships, not defiles."

He chose yes.

They kissed beneath the star-etched dome.

Not as man and queen. Not as mortal and divine.

But as fire meeting moonlight.

Selene gasped into his mouth as their lips met—years of restraint crumbling in seconds. Her hands gripped his robes, pulling him close as though she feared she might vanish.

Lucas didn't rush. He let his hands wander with reverence—exploring the delicate notches of her spine, the arch of her back, the soft inside of her thighs. She moaned softly, a sound like starlight breaking, her body trembling beneath his touch.

He brought her to the altar and laid her down.

Sacred Union. Virgin Surrender. Divine Awakening.

Lucas traced her body with kisses—lips brushing over her chest, belly, thighs. She arched when his tongue found her navel, her breath catching.

"I see you, Selene," he murmured against her skin. "You don't have to bear divinity alone."

Tears slipped down her cheeks, luminous like dew.

"Please… Lucas… Take it. Take me."

He entered her with one slow, deliberate thrust.

Her body clenched around him—tight, hot, trembling. A divine seal cracked inside her, and moonlight burst around them in radiant waves.

Selene cried out—not in pain, but awe. Her nails raked across his back, not to push him away, but to keep him inside.

Their bodies moved together in sacred rhythm—every thrust a prayer, every moan a hymn.

She whispered his name over and over, tears spilling as centuries of restraint shattered. Her hips met his, her thighs trembling, her voice breaking in ecstasy.

And when she came—her cry echoed through the temple like a divine bell.

Lucas held her as she shook in the afterglow, stars still dancing behind his eyes.

Selene clung to him.

"You've undone something I cannot rebuild."

He kissed her brow. "Then let me build something new with you."

But as they lay tangled in moonlight and breath…

The altar beneath them flared.

A feminine voice rang out, ancient and furious.

"You have broken the pact."

Selene sat up, eyes wide.

"No. It's too soon. She wasn't supposed to awaken yet."

Lucas stood, shielding her.

"Who?" he asked.

And the voice answered, from everywhere and nowhere:

"I am the Pale Goddess. And you have defiled my throne."

To be continued…
