❤️ A Game of Loyalty (2) ❤️Lady Bana didn’t waste time as she knelt before Lynn. Her face was tight with anger, and her words came out fast. “I just got back from Aurora’s palace and you won’t believe the insult. She treated me like nothing! No respect. Even when I mentioned your name, she didn’t flinch. She even told me some useless story like she was trying to prove a point. I threatened her, Queen Lynn. I told her you would come, and guess what she said?” Queen Lynn turned slowly, her eyes cold and unmoved. “Let me guess…she told you to come bring me yourself?” Bana hissed under her breath. “Yes. Exactly that. She even said she would be waiting.” Lynn let out a small, dry laugh and walked toward the edge of the room, her long gown trailing softly behind her. “Life is full of surprises, Bana, isn't it? Just like how you surprised me when you went behind my back and woke Myrrak up. I didn’t ask you to. But you did it anyway.” Bana frowned, her tone more defensive now. “What’s th
❤️ A Game of Loyalty ❤️Queen Aurora Chamber:“Hello, Aurora,” came the smooth voice, calm but laced with something sharp beneath it.Aurora didn’t even flinch. She turned around slowly, her eyes meeting Lady Bana’s without any sign of surprise. Her voice was cool when she spoke, but there was a bite to it. “To what do I owe this unexpected visit, Bana?”At the sound of her name without a title, Lady Bana’s brows lifted just slightly, not in amusement, but in irritation. The message was clear, Aurora had not bothered to address her as “Lady,” and that didn’t sit well.“So, you’ve grown wings now?” Bana said with a bitter smile. “You’ve gotten so comfortable on your little throne that you now feel bold enough to drop my title and speak to me like we’re friends?”Aurora didn’t blink. She walked past her to the bed, her chin slightly raised. “I am Queen now. You call me by name, so I returned the favor. It’s mutual respect, isn’t it?”Lady Bana’s smile disappeared. Her jaw tightened. It
❤️ Guiltless ❤️Tharros Chamber:“Do you remember everything?” Tharros asked, his voice low but filled with quiet hope. His eyes didn’t leave her face, watching every little change in her expression.Nyxoria slowly nodded, her fingers still wrapped around the sword resting in her lap. “I remember what happened to me ten years ago, Arros,” she said, her voice soft like the wind before a storm. “The day we met and what happened after.”She paused, her brows pulling together as the memories pressed hard against her mind. “First of all,” she continued, “I wasn’t the one who told anyone or my parents about your Nightweavers or their whereabouts. I just told my father that I had met someone, met you, and that I would be seeing you again the next day and that I had promised you that.”She swallowed hard.“But he wasn’t happy when I said it. He looked scared and angry. And then...” she stopped. Her voice caught in her throat as her eyes went distant, like she was staring through the walls, ri
❤️ Ashes of the Nightweavers ❤️Some guards hurriedly entered her chamber and their loud gasps filled the air around them. And a man steps inside the chamber, the guards in there bowing slightly at him."What did you just do my Princess?" The man who had stepped in and commanded so much respect asked as he went and gently took one of her bloody hands and took her away from the deadly mess in her chamber and once they were outside in the hallway, he turned to her and knelt down before her. It was only then he realized she was still holding the sword stained with blood with her other hand. "Tell me what happened, my pie?"At that moment Nyxoria lifted up her head and gaze into the familiar blackest orbs, her tears still flowing. "I-I don't know uncle, all I could remember is waking up and seeing them like that, I-I-I killed my parents.""Are you sure you don't remember anything? You don't know what truly happened there? Don't be scared, my pie?"Nyxoria shook her head as she continued t
FLASHBACK TO TEN YEARS AGO:❤️ A Promise Sealed ❤️It was midday and the sky was cloudy.A little girl of 8 years old was seen crying out her eyes deep in a forest when suddenly she heard a noise and that prompted her to stop crying and look behind her from where the noise came out from. She gasps when she saw a little boy with white haired dreadlocks that was packed in a ponytail, he wasn't that white skin like hers nor dark skin like her personal servant, he was in between and it suited him, oh by the gods, he looked like one of gods that descended to meet her. He looked around her age and he was smiling down at her. He stood where he was and didn't make a move to come any closer. "Who are you?" The little girl asked, looking around her once again. She could defend herself when it comes down to anything."My name is Tharros and you are?" he asked softly, his voice sounded heavenly and she wanted to hear it again."Nyxoria." she replied almost quickly and that earned a big smile
❤️ Blood That Remembers ❤️He gave her a real smile not just any how smile but a true, honest smile that reached his eyes. “I’m really happy you got your wolf back, My Nightfire,” he said in a soft, warm voice.Nyxoria smiled back at him, her heart swelling at his words. But then his next question came.“But, did you remember anything?”Her smile faded just a little, and she slowly shook her head. “No, not yet. But Daisy is here now, and I believe she came to keep her promise. She said she would help me remember, and I think that’s why she is here.” Nyxoria paused, glancing up at him with a teasing glint in her eyes. “Aren’t you even going to ask me how I got my wolf back? I mean, you of all people know that I was wolfless.”Tharros opened his mouth to answer, but he didn’t get the chance. A knock sounded gently on the door, interrupting them, and at the same time, Dika stirred beside Nyxoria, blinking awake.“You can come in, the door’s not locked,” Tharros said, already knowing who
