Chapter: The Army Beneath The Mountain The first warrior climbed through the floor. Another followed, then ten, then hundreds. Their armor were blackened with age, but their weapons appear new. Ancient swords, spears and axes. Every soldier wore the same sigil, a broken crown encircled by flames. The First King's army. An army that had slept beneath the mountain for three thousand years. Kael walked in front of me."How are we supposed to stop an army that has waited three thousand years to kill us?" Adrian stared at the soldiers."We aren't." I looked at him."What?""We leave." Lyssara frowned."Run?""Survive." Another part of the floor collapsed, revealing dozens of warriors climbing through the broken tiles. The Shadow King swung his weapon and destroyed the nearest group."There's no way through them." Adrian looked to the ceiling."There is." He looked at the temple's entrance."The temple has anothe

Chapter: The Forgotten Heir The first explosion echoed through the temple. Dust filtered down from the ceiling. Ancient walls groaned as thousands of soldiers surrounded the mountain. Kael gripped the broken hilt of his sword."How many?" The Shadow King walked to the front of the entrance and listened."At least ten thousand soldiers." Lyssara stared at him. "Ten thousand?" He nodded."The Council brought everything." I glanced down at the ancient book in my hands. The words on the page glowed faintly.'When the two daughters unite, the forgotten heir will return.' My heart pounded in my ears."Who is the forgotten heir?" No one answered. I turned to my mother, but she avoided my gaze."Mother." She remained silent."Who is the forgotten heir?" Her lips parted but she didn't speak. Suddenly, the doors exploded inward. Kael shoved me to the ground. A wave of power crashed into the room. The Shadow King raised his weapo

Chapter: The Alpha's Betrayal"Kael?" My voice was barely a whisper. He stood in the entrance to the chamber, his sword dangling at his side, his tattered clothes stained with blood, but it was the look in his eyes that terrified me. His eyes were completely black, with no trace of silver or blue."Get away from him," Lyssara hissed, struggling against the invisible hold on her wrist. The Shadow King raised his sword, hissing, "Don't listen to him." I ignored them both and took a step forward."Kael," I urged gently. His head slowly lifted, his dark eyes locking onto mine before a smirk graced his lips."Hello, Aria," he said. My stomach twisted at the sound of his voice. It wasn't his voice. It was too smooth, and too cruel."What have you done to him?" I demanded, my grip tightening on my trident. The figure in Kael's body tilted his head at me."Nothing.""Like hell you haven't," I spat, taking another step forward. The mo

Chapter: The Temple Beneath the Mountain The mountains seemed closer from above, but they weren't. The Fourth Guardian had been flying for almost two hours while the temple remained an impossible distance away. Dark clouds followed us. They were not ordinary clouds. They moved against the wind. Kael noticed them."We're being followed." Lyssara turned."I've been sensing them for the last twenty minutes." I turned around. There were no clouds, only shadows."How many?" She closed her eyes."Three.""Three?" I frowned. Her eyes snapped open."Three very powerful beings." The Shadow King turned around."Not beings." His jaw tightened."Hunters." The Guardian veered suddenly to the left. A shadow sped past us. Kael drew his sword."Incoming!" Another one came from above. I raised my trident and a silver barrier shimmered into existence around us. The attacker slammed into it. The Guardian cried out as he

Chapter: The Return of Two Queens I woke to the sound of rain. I was still for several seconds. The earth was cold beneath my back. I opened my eyes to see grey clouds blocking out the sky. Broken stones surrounded me."Lyssara?" There was no response. I pushed myself up and winced at the pain in my head."Lyssara!" A hand shot out and grabbed mine."I'm here." I turned to see her laying beside me, covered in dust and blood. I felt relief wash over me."Are you hurt?" She sat up slowly. "Nothing serious. What happened?""The Heart Chamber collapsed." She looked around. "Where are we?" I didn't know, until I saw the mountains. My heart sank."We're outside Moonfall." Lyssara turned her gaze to the distant city. Smoke still lingered from the walls, but something was different. The black portals were gone. The enemy army was gone. And above Moonfall, a silver moon-shaped symbol floated in the sky."Did we win?" I shook my head. "I don't kno

Chapter: The Original Heart The door opened completely and darkness waited on the other side. It wasn't ordinary darkness. It moved, it breath and it watched. Lyssara tightened her grip around my hand."Do you feel that?""Yes.""What is it?""I don't know." The First Moon Queen stood behind us."You will." The darkness faded away to reveal a huge chamber. At the center of it all floated a heart-shaped crystal. It was huge. Half of it was silver, while the other half was black. Chains of light wrapped around it. Every beat sent a wave of energy through the chamber. Lyssara stared at it."The Original Heart." The First Moon Queen nodded."The source from which every Moon Queen inherited her power." I took a step forward. The Heart pulsed again and so did something inside of me. I gasped. It wanted me to go to it."Don't." Lyssara grabbed my arm."Something is wrong." I turned to her."What is it?""The black side."

With nowhere to turn and her enemies closing in, Nyra is offered an unexpected lifeline by the last man she should trust—Kael Drax, Ryker's powerful rival. Feared by werewolves and respected by billionaires alike, Kael offers her a deal that could change everything: a contract marriage in exchange for power, protection, and revenge.
Determined to make those who betrayed her pay, Nyra accepts.
But revenge is never simple.
As secrets surface and old enemies plot in the shadows, Nyra discovers that Kael is hiding dangerous truths of his own. And the more time she spends with the man she promised never to love, the harder it becomes to ignore the fire growing between them.

When betrayal started her story, could love become her greatest victory... or her final downfall?

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR The handle screeched and stopped half way. Kael raised his weapon."Stand back." The man inside chuckled. "Still taking charge. Just like your father." Kael's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?""You should know.""I want to hear you say it.""Edmund Hale." Nyra shared a look with Kael. The council archivist. The man whose name had been on the night shift list 11 years ago but had been erased from the official story of the fire."You should have been on holiday." There was silence."That's what they wanted people to think.""Who?""The survivors." Kael walked over to the door. "You said my father left you to burn. What do you mean?""Open the door.""I want to know what you mean." There was the sound of something heavy hitting hard against something e. A heavy thud came from inside the room."I'm not going to spend another eleven years talking through a door while someone else decides what you d

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-THREE"If Garrick is alive, Nyra, he isn't the only one who survived the fire." Kael's words echoed in the hallway long after he had finished speaking. Nyra looked at him, waiting. When he didn't explain, she folded the tiny scrap of paper with the number seventeen on it and tucked it into her pocket."Who else survived?""I don't know.""You said it like you did.""Because my father wasn't the only one to disappear that night.""And the other one was?" Kael's gaze flicked toward Ryker. Nyra followed his eyes. "Don't look at him. I'm asking you.""Someone not officially associated with the records office.""Name.""Edmund Hale." Ryker's expression changed and Nyra turned to him. "You know him?""I knew the name. He was a council archivist prior to resigning. He was responsible for old pack records, property transfers, birth notices...and the sealed family dossiers.""He was in the building when it burned?""He was supposed to be.""Supposed to be?"

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-TWO Nyra was already moving toward the sitting room when she said, "There's something else we need to see.""What?" Ryker asked."The letter my father left in the underground room. The one that mentioned the northern window.""Why?""Because he knew someone would come looking," Nyra said. "He left us a map to the house, and now we have a badge from the building that burned down eleven years ago. If he knew about Westbridge, he probably left us something else." Ryker frowned. "The letter is in the basement.“"Then we'll get it."”No," Kael said. "Not tonight." Nyra turned to him. "Why not?""Because we've had two voices calling from outside, someone has been inside the passage, and the thing that wore Mara's face knew how to get in. We're not going back down there until we've made sure every entrance is secure.""While we're busy checking doors," Ryker said, "whatever it is can take another look at those windows." Nyra hesitated. She k

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-ONE"Kael. Open the door." Nyra knew that voice. She had heard it beneath the northern house, coming from the back of the carved door with her family name etched into its surface. She had also heard it in the passage, where the darkness seemed to carry her father's words from one end of the stone corridor to the other. This was different. It was clearer, closer. And there was the same impatient tone she remembered from childhood, the one Darian Vale used when he found her in places she wasn't supposed to be For one breathtaking moment, Nyra forgot the warnings Kael had made about the voices. She took a step toward the door. Kael gripped her shoulder."It's not him.""Who's to say?""I do.""Then prove it." Kael's jaw tightened, but he didn't answer. The voice beyond the door spoke again, closer this time"Kael... Nyra, sweetheart. Open the door." Her heart twisted. Her father had used that pet name when she was little, w

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY"Nyra, please. My father is dead, and you're the only person who can tell me why." The woman's voice filtered came in through the front door, low and deliberate. Nyra focused on the doorknob. Beside her, Kael had gone rigid. His body had tensed in the same way it had the first time he'd seen her beneath the house, and his gaze had shifted to the window as if he expected someone to appear Ryker was edging forward, but Kael shook his head."Don't," he warned. "You don't get to order me around in a house where my name is on the deed.""Then consider it advice from someone who would prefer not to spend the night scraping your blood off the floor.”"Both of you," Nyra snapped. A charged silence stretched between them. Nyra drew closer to the door, but she kept several feet of space between herself and the knob. "Detective Mara Voss," she called out, "show me your identification." For a long moment, there was sil

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY–NINE"Run." The whisper came from somewhere behind them. Kael seized Nyra's hand and pulled her off the wall just as a sharp crack split the darkness. It hit the stone where her head had been a second ago."Keep moving!" he shouted. Ryker drew his weapon and turned in the direction of the sound. "Go! I'll cover you.""You won't last a minute down here by yourself," Kael said."Then stop arguing with me!" Nyra could barely see either of them since the lantern had gone out, leaving only a faint mark of light from the stairs above. She followed Kael along the length of the passage, running one hand along the wall to keep from stumbling along the way. Behind them, Ryker cursed."Kael!" Kael stopped."What?" he asked."There is someone at the stairs." Nyra couldn't see the figure all the way in the far end of the passage, but she could see the shape of a long coat and one arm hanging down at its
