Marked By Midnight
Then without breaking the kiss his hand slid down, fingers brushing between my thighs with maddening control. He played with me lazily at first, teasing circles around my folds, making my hips jerk. I moaned into his mouth as one finger dipped lower, then retreated, just to torment me.
“Azrik…” I gasped.
He pulled back only to whisper, “Patience. Or I’ll tie you to this bed and take my time.”
The way he said it raw, full of threat and promise, had me clenching around nothing.

Chapter: Chapter 66: No One After HerAzrik’s POVIt had been two years since Draven last dragged me to a club, and now, here he was again, standing in my office with that same irritating smirk.“I said I’m not going,” I muttered, not looking up from the reports in front of me.“Why?” he asked, leaning against the doorway. “Afraid that lady will pop up again and ask for another dance?”His words struck a chord I didn’t want to acknowledge.My pen stilled. The image flickered uninvited, the woman with dark hair, the way her eyes met mine. Her image had faded over time, but sometimes, sometimes it came back in dreams, clearer than I wanted.I shook my head and scoffed. “Are you serious right now?”Draven grinned. “Are you thinking about her again?”“Again?” I leaned back. “Please. I barely remember what she looks like.”“If you say so,” he said with a shrug, though his smirk didn’t falter. “Anyway, I didn’t come here to talk about your pathetic love life.”“Then get to the point.”Draven’s expression shifted slightly. He sa

Chapter: Chapter 65: The Spark In Her HandsLunessa's POV I kicked against the idea of visiting Lucien. I headed straight to the school to pick up my children. If I was avoiding attachment, why start something I couldn't finish?Still, that night felt different. I tossed in bed, my thoughts circling back to Lucien, the way his eyes lingered too long, the questions he didn’t ask. I tried to shrug it off, but something about him clung to my mind like a forgotten scent.The next day was my day off. I kept myself busy, scrubbing floors that didn’t need scrubbing, folding clothes I’d already folded twice, anything to keep my hands full and my heart quiet.When I returned to work, his desk was empty No coffee waiting. Just absence, the kind that echoes. I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t need to.In the days that followed, I adjusted. I bought my own coffee on the way to work, learned how to make it just the way I liked. I built a routine, steady and solid. Life began to hum with a rhythm I could predict.I threw myself into my profe

Chapter: Chapter 64: Coffee Left ColdLunessa's POVIt had quietly become a habit, Lucien bringing me coffee every morning. Whether I arrived first or he did, there would always be a cup waiting on my desk. I’d asked him once, maybe twice, to stop going through the trouble. He only smiled, shrugged it off, and kept doing it anyway, so I stopped protesting, and started appreciating it.Despite how deeply the people of Duskwind revered nature and simplicity, I was surprised by how often they still visited the hospital.Turns out, my uncle had made a strong effort over the years to encourage medical awareness, urging the community to seek help when needed, no matter how minor the illness.Months passed in a quiet rhythm. The twins were now a year and a half old, growing stronger and more unpredictable by the day.The senior nanny at daycare insisted it was time I enrolled them in proper early education. I’d promised to look into it soon.Then, one evening, Vanya approached me. There was something mixed in her expression, jo

Chapter: Chapter 63: Wages Of GratitudeLunessa's POV The next morning, Vanya insisted on taking the twins to daycare herself, allowing me a moment of quiet as I headed to work alone.I arrived before Lucien. The office was still draped in morning stillness when he walked in, carrying two cups of coffee. He set one on my desk with a nod.“Good morning, Lunessa,” he said.“Thank you. Good morning,” I replied, accepting the cup with a polite smile.That was the extent of our personal exchange. No lingering glances, no flirtatious remarks, just work.An emergency had erupted shortly after, pulling the entire team into high gear. Lucien remained strictly professional throughout, no side conversations, no subtle hints at something more, and I was grateful. I needed boundaries. I wasn’t ready for anything remotely close to emotional entanglements.By the time the day was over, I returned home to the comforting sounds of laughter echoing down the hall.The twins were already back, giggling as they ran in circles around a visibly

Happy 40th birthday to my Alpha, my brother, and the grumpiest best friend in the realm.”He dropped a small cake on my desk, complete with a single candle already lit.I gave him a flat stare. “Draven, you know I don’t do birthdays or cakes.”“Too bad,” he said, folding his arms. “Say a wish and blow it out before it melts into your papers.”I sighed and leaned forward. “Fine. I wish for Lunessa.” Then I blew out the candle.Draven chuckled. “So predictable. One-track mind much?”“What are the latest gossips?” I asked, hoping to change the subject.He slouched into the chair across from me, pulling out a flask. “Same old, same old. Some think you’re going mad, others think you’ve already gone mad. Rumor has it you growl in your sleep.”“

Chapter: Chapter 61: Reincarnated SassLunessa's POVWhen I arrived at the school, I headed straight for the daycare.Gods, it was chaos, tiny wails echoed off every surface like a symphony of despair. I wasn’t sure if that was normal, but judging by the look on the nanny’s face, it absolutely wasn’t.The moment I stepped into the room, nearly every toddler surged toward me as though I were salvation itself.“What in the world is going on?” I asked, my eyes darting between the tear-streaked faces before settling on the poor nanny, who looked like she had been through a battle with demons.“That… that girl,” she said, pointing a trembling hand toward the corner.Shaelith was seated calmly on a cushion, legs crossed like royalty, popping grapes into her mouth with an air of unbothered innocence.“What about her?” I asked, already dreading the answer.“She speaks so well… too well,” the nanny said with wide eyes. “She told the other children that they would never see their parents again.”I nearly choked trying to suppress a

Chapter: Chapter 104 (Finale)Athena's POVFive years later… As the evening sun cast its golden glow upon us, I found myself drawn once again to Tala's grave, my hand instinctively resting on my swollen belly as I settled onto the grass beside her final resting place."Hey, dear... I'm sorry I haven't visited for a while. A lot has been happening," I began, my voice soft as I spoke to the silent earth beneath me. "You know, as the head of the council of Alphas, it's been hectic, but I enjoy it," I chuckled softly, the weight of my responsibilities tempered by the knowledge that I was carrying new life within me.Bringing out the water bottle I had brought with me, I took a sip before carefully arranging the forest flowers I had gathered on Tala's grave, a small gesture of remembrance and love."You know, I miss you Tala," I continued. “Let me tell you what had been happening, Ulf is still carrying her duty very well.

Tala may be gone, but her legacy would live on through me, a beacon of strength and resilience in the face of adversity.Tears blurred my vision as I pleaded with the guardian for some semblance of solace, any glimmer of hope in the face of overwhelming despair."I can't do anything but allow you to see her, but nothing can be done," she offered her words a bittersweet reminder of the limits of her power.

As night fell, we used torches. It was nearly midnight when Ralph, exhaustion etched into his features, finally suggested a moment's bedtime. We collapsed onto the cold earth, our breaths mingling with the night air.With the first faint blush of dawn, we rose in relentless pursuit, we secured rides on passing carriages, trading fleeting moments of rest for precious time gained.Days blurred into one another.

Ralph inquired, his gaze locking with mine."Fable pack. I yearn to lay eyes upon Sarah," I declared. Thinking of the little girl.Before we ventured further, Ralph halted me with a solemn confession, redirecting my focus towards him.He recounted the incidents between himself, Tala, and the family.

If not for the pressing matters at hand, you would have relished the moment.”“And?”“And I refuse to let this opportunity slip through your fingers.

Today was a special day, my husband was returning from the human world after days of being away.I stepped onto the balcony, letting the breeze carry the sweet scent of blooming roses from the gardens below. My eyes caught Kael in the courtyard, wielding his wooden sword with a ferocity that made me smile. He attacked invisible foes, his movements clumsy but full of determination.“Victory!” he shouted, lifting his sword to the sky, his laughter echoing through the grounds.I couldn’t help but laugh softly. This was my world now, a fairytale I never dreamed possible. With a full heart, I turned back inside to where my newborn baby girl, Athena, lay sleeping in her cradle.

We wandered through lush forests, marveled at cascading waterfalls, and soaked in the serenity of it all. Every moment with her felt like reclaiming a piece of my soul that had been missing for far too long.I had missed her more than I could put into words, and being in her presence again filled me with a happiness so overwhelming, it was almost unbearable.

His eyes were tired, his breath shallow, but he was alive.He was holding Kael, his arms trembling slightly from the weight. My heart clenched at the sight of them both, my legs nearly giving way beneath me.“You’re alive!” I cried out, my voice cracking with relief and joy. I threw my arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. In that moment, nothing else mattered.

Then, with a brutal motion, he seized me by the neck, his fingers tightening like a vice as he slammed me against the cold wall. “I own you,” he snarled.I gasped for air, the pressure around my throat suffocating.

My hair, usually unruly, was pinned back meticulously, strands carefully tucked away. I chose a leather jumpsuit.

It was the perfect moment to escape.I slipped through the door unnoticed, my heart racing as I entered the woods.

I smiled, brushing a wind-tossed strand from his forehead as I knelt before him. His eyes, brilliant and blue like summer lightning, always reminded me of the one I lost, and yet, they were wholly his own.With my left hand, I gently held his, and with the other, I reached into my cloak and pulled out a wrapped honey-laced candy.“When she comes today, give this to her,” I said softly, placing it in his palm.He looked at it with reverence. “Okay,” he said with a solemn nod.“She just wants to be your friend,” I added, tracing my thumb over his knuckles. “Play with her. Be kind.”“Okay,” he echoed again, and then gave me that same crooked, boyish smile that used to tug at the corners of Zevarion’s lips.I pressed a kiss to his forehead and watched him walk i

There was no way I could retrieve the Soulspike now, not without taking it from his body. The thought of Zevarion dying made my soul quake. The idea of raising our child without him it was too cruel.Some of our warriors stormed in to aid him, their weapons drawn and eyes burning with courage.

She’s not our enemy.”A heavy silence followed, then nods. The weight of blame began to lift from their shoulders, replaced by something fiercer, resolve.“We need to march,” I continued, my voice steel. “Before he forces her to collect the final Heartstone. If that happens, he will become unstoppable.”“We should go now,” a warrior urged, already rising.I shook my head. “Not yet. We can’t storm the pack in daylight.

Flames danced in them, alive and cruel, licking at the edges of his pupils like he’d been set alight from within.“I underestimated you,” he said, chuckling darkly.And that laughter chilled my blood more than any scream could.He entered the cell and took the stone then before I could move, he lunged forward and grabbed me by the hair, his fingers yanking hard, snapping my neck back. I cried out, striking his arm, clawing at his grip, but it was like hitting stone.

Its power is gone. Isn’t that why you had to wear Zevarion’s face to bring me here?”His brows furrowed, lips parting slightly. “That’s impossible.

The Mirrorheart Sigil crafted by Lioren herself.”The moment I spoke that name, something snapped in him.
