LOGINMila’s POVThe moment we stepped through the underworld gate everything changed.Our troops were gathered and waiting for our signal.The air was suffocating, thick with the stench of burning flesh and something rotten. The ground beneath our feet was dark and cracked, with red light glowing through the spaces between the stones. In the distance, enormous towers rose into a sky that had no stars, only swirling clouds of smoke and fire.We had finally arrived and somewhere in this terrible place, Millie was waiting for us.My heart tightened.“Millie,” I whispered.Knox's hand closed around mine.“We're getting her back,” he said firmly.I nodded, tightening my grip on the weapon in my other hand.It looked different now. The black surface shimmered with silver, and golden lines ran along its length, the power inside it was almost overwhelming. The Moon Goddess had blessed it, but the weapon was only one part of what we needed.We had everything we needed to end this but we still ha
Mila’s POVMy heart was still pounding when I finally stepped away from the others.Millie was gone.The words kept repeating inside my head no matter how many times I tried to push them away.She was gone.The Demon King had taken her, and if he had managed to get her into the underworld, I knew exactly what that meant.He had been waiting for an opportunity like this, he knew we had found the artifacts and now he had the one person he knew I would do anything to protect.I looked up at the dark sky, it wasn’t th full moon yet, not even close enough, my stomach twisted.The Moon Goddess had promised me that she would bless the weapon during the full moon. We had been preparing for that moment, believing we still had time.But we didn't, I turned toward Knox “I need to speak to the Goddess.”He nodded immediately “Then let's go.”We moved away from the others, finding a quiet place where I could focus.I could hear Hansel speaking with Marcus in the distance, while Greta, Jon, Ca
Third Person POVMillie sat quietly in the corner of the carriage, her little hands folded in her lap. She had stopped crying some time ago, but that didn’t mean she was no longer frightened.The woman sitting opposite her still had Mila’s face but Millie knew she wasn’t her Fairy, her Fairy would never have grabbed her like that and she would never have ignored her when she asked to go back. And she certainly wouldn’t have taken her away from everyone she loved, Millie stared at the woman suspiciously.“Where are we going?”Veyra glanced at her “To see someone.”“Who?”“Someone important.”“I want Mila.”Veyra sighed “You’ve said that several times already.”“Because I want her!”The little girl’s voice broke, and her eyes began to fill with tears again and Veyra looked away.She had been instructed to bring the child alive, and she intended to follow that command. However, she was beginning to understand why the Demon King had been so interested in her.The child was stubborn and s
Third Person POVVeyra stared at the little girl.For a moment, she wondered whether Millie had somehow sensed the deception or whether someone had warned her. Either way, the child’s words were not what she had expected to hear so she forced a small smile.“What do you mean, sweetheart?”Millie shook her head, taking another step backward “You’re not my Fairy Mila.”Veyra crouched slightly, trying to meet her eyes.“Of course I am, look at me and smell me”“No.”Millie’s voice was firmer this time.“My Fairy doesn’t talk like you and because of the power in her veins her palms are always scorching yours are cold”Veyra’s expression tightened.She had studied Mila’s appearance and voice, but she hadn’t considered that the child might recognize something beyond those things. Perhaps Millie knew Mila well enough to notice the smallest differences and it didn’t matter anymore.She had already brought the child away from the tabl so she only needed to get out of the territory.“Come her
Third Person POVThe pack was unusually lively that evening.Wolves moved between the buildings, some returning from patrol while others gathered in small groups to talk. The scent of food drifted from the main hall, and laughter could be heard from the open windows.It was the kind of peaceful evening that made everyone forget, even if only for a moment, that a war was approaching.A woman approached the pack entrance.She had long hair, familiar features, and the unmistakable appearance of Mila.The patrol guards straightened when they saw her.“Luna Mila,” one of them greeted respectfully.She offered a small smile “Good evening.”“Welcome back, Luna.”“Thank you.”Neither guard questioned her arrival, why would they? They knew her face, her voice, and the scent she carried. As far as they were concerned, she was their Luna, the gates opened, and she walked inside, Veyra had to resist the urge to smile.The spell had worked perfectly, she had entered the territory without a sing
The Demon King’s POVThe throne room had never felt so empty.I sat upon my throne, my fingers gripping its armrests as I stared at the space above my head where my crown once rested.It was gone and stolen by two members of my court.The thought alone made my blood boil.For centuries, that crown had remained upon my head. It was more than a symbol of authority. It was bound to my power, to my bloodline, and to the very foundation of my kingdom. Every demon in this realm knew what it meant to see it upon my head.And now, it was in the hands of the Veilborn Queen Mila, I slowly curled my fingers into fists, that little creature had become a greater nuisance than I had anticipated. She had interfered with my plans, escaped places where she should have died, and gathered the very things that could be used against me and now, the crown.She was collecting the pieces of a weapon that could end my existence, I leaned back against my throne, allowing the anger to settle into something
Mila's pov…… I, Knox Mercer, future Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, reject you, Mila Carter, as my mate.” I hated parties. There, I said it. And not just any parties — school parties, the kind where everyone drank too much, and these were people I saw in school everyday, so it was basically j
Knox Mercer……. I didn’t want a Luna. That was the truth no one seemed willing to accept. The council chamber was quiet, and I sat in my chair while Conrad and Caleb watched me. Generations of Alphas were carved into the walls, staring down at me like judges waiting for me to fail or slip up.
7years later…..Mila's pov…The car was silent, as I sat at the back of Gamma Rodney's car, the car hummed along the highway, and every flickering streetlight that passed outside made my heart beat faster. My stomach twisted, and my hands were fisted so tightly that my nails dug into my palm, almo
