THE ROYAL CEMETERY
Morgana and Lady Celeste stood in the center of the royal cemetery, shrouded in the eerie stillness of the place. Ancient tombstones surrounded them, their carvings worn by centuries of wind and rain. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and decay, the ominous silence broken only by the rustling of leaves.
They stood before an ornate black marble grave. The name etched into the stone glinted under the weak sunlight: **Selene Black**.
Selene had been Magnus's first mate, chosen by fate before he even met Aria. She was known for her stunning beauty and her compassionate heart. But jealousy had led to her untimely demise. Magnus's best friend, driven mad by unrequited love, had ended her life before Magnus even had the chance to bond with her. When the truth was revealed, Magnus had been forced to kill his friend, an act that had left a permanent scar on his soul.
