Bound to the Triplet Alphas

SPIRIT GUIDE LUNA POV

I slammed my fist against the barrier between worlds, watching hopelessly as my daughter faced death.

"Let me through!" I screamed at the old laws that kept me trapped in the spirit realm. "She needs me!"

For fifteen years, I’d been stuck here, unable to touch the human world. Unable to help my family. Unable to tell them about the dangers coming their way.

Now Elena was stealing my husband’s life force, my niece was dying from too much divine power, and my sons were about to lose everything.

"You cannot interfere directly," the Voice of the Moon Goddess said behind me. "You know the rules."

I spun around to face the glowing figure that had been my guide since death. "The rules are stupid! My family is dying while I stand here doing nothing!"

"You are not doing nothing," the Voice said quietly. "You are learning. Watching. Preparing."

"Preparing for what?" I asked. "By the time I’m allowed to help, they’ll all be dead!"

The Voice moved closer, and I could feel its old power washing over me. "There is always a way, Luna. Even for the dead."

"What do you mean?"

Instead of replying, the Voice gestured toward the barrier. "Look closer. What do you see?"
