~Elara~

There was no threat in my voice, but the emptiness in it made him even more nervous and unsettled.

He swallowed nervously and took two steps back.

I looked in between them, my hands shaking from restrained rage.

“I did not send anyone to poison her. What is wrong with all of you?”

The Elders exchanged glances with each other, the judgment in their eyes quite evident, and enough to burn through my already fragile heart.

My eyes welled up with tears. I don’t want to shade even a single tear here; they don’t deserve to see my tears.

“Lucien, was suspending me not enough for you? Now you are going to embarrass me in front of the entire pack for what I didn’t do?”

My voice broke slightly.

I looked away, swallowing hard as I did.

Lucien’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t say a word, but it was Elder Malric who spoke up.

“You must have something wrong, Luna. The Alpha isn’t the one who ordered your capture, we did. We value justice over every other thing. Whoever dares hurt the future hei

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   248| Where Peace Begins to Break

    ~ELARA~‎‎“Where?” I ask, though my voice is barely more than a whisper.‎‎“Somewhere that still remembers peace.”‎‎He doesn’t wait for my answer. When he ensures that I've been properly treated, he simply leads me away from the healers camp. He leads me away from the battlefield on his horse, from the screams, the smoke, the ghosts. Soldiers that still lingers around part to let us through, bowing their heads.‎‎We ride in silence. Past the campfires. Past the wounded. Past the broken banners of a kingdom, Frostfire, that no longer exist from today.‎‎It takes time, but eventually, the stench of death fades into the clean scent of rain and pine. The path winds upward, toward a cliff I know too well. It's been a long time since I came here, but I remember each corner like I was here yesterday.‎‎The cliff where Dravon and I first met.‎‎Where everything began.‎‎The wind here is sharp, almost playful, tugging at my hair. The sky stretches open, streaked with gold and violet as

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   247| After the War

    ELARA'S POVThe battlefield is quiet now. Too quiet.‎‎Smoke drifts over the land like ghosts who haven’t realized they’re dead yet. The fires still burn in patches, low and tired, like they, too, have had enough of war. The stench of blood lingers in the air, a bitter reminder that victory always tastes like loss.‎‎Bodies lie scattered across the bloodied earth. Both our soldiers and the rogues. No sides anymore. Just the dead.‎‎I stand in the middle of it all, my sword buried point-first in the ground. My cloak flutters weakly in the wind, and my hands… they’re trembling. I can’t tell if it’s from exhaustion or something deeper.‎‎Around me, soldiers move in silence. No cheers. No songs. Just the slow, heavy shuffle of survivors tending to the wounded, whispering prayers for the fallen. They've lost their fellow soldiers in this gruesome war.‎The healers move around, trying to see if any of our soldiers are still alive amongst the bodies scattered on the floor.‎The war is o

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   246| A Wolf Reborn

    ~MIA~‎‎I shift my stance, feet firm on the blood-soaked earth. “You talk too much.”‎‎Her eyes narrow. “I’m the Queen of Frostfire. No one dares insult me, nevertheless a sheep masquerading as a wolf. You’ll regret that.”‎‎Then she’s moving fast, faster than a wolf should be.She's not lying when she said she's practically a trained assassin. She's good, but I was trained to be smarter.Her blade flashes toward my throat. I duck, the edge slicing a strand of my hair. The air cracks with the force of her swing.‎‎I roll aside, come up behind her, slash at her shoulder. She parries easily, the impact ringing through my arms. Sparks fly.‎‎“You’re not what I expected,” she admits, twisting her sword in a deadly arc. “But skill isn’t enough. You need the will to kill.”‎‎“I have that,” I hiss, blocking her next blow.‎‎Our blades lock, faces inches apart. Her eyes gleam with cold amusement. “Prove it.”‎‎I shove her back and strike again, a blur of movement and instinct. Every l

    MIA'S POVI leave Thorne in the healers camp, rushing down to the battlefield. The healers has assured me that he'll be fine.The air tastes of blood and lightning.‎‎Bodies litter the battlefield, steel and claws and ash blending into a single blur of chaos. Wolves snarl, swords clash, and the sky itself seems to bleed with the color of war.As I clutch my sword, ready to fight but then I halt on spotting the King. Anita's rogue are causing havoc as usual, but the King is taking them out without even breaking a sweat. As he moves, rogues who lunges towards him are sent spiralling and eventually dropping dead. He's like a death flame, come close and you'll immediately meet your end.Our soldiers flee away from his path, afraid to get caught up in his wrath.Most of the rogues realizing the King's merciless power, try to run but Micheal and our soldiers chase them down, slaughtering every one of them.The King moves towards Anita and for the first time, her face pales.

    ~DRAVON~‎Anita coughs, blood spilling from her lips. “‎No- it's Calistra- Calistra.”‎Her words barely make it through the fog of rage. I raise my clawed hand, ready to end it, to crush her throat and burn her army to ashes. But then-‎‎“Dravon…”‎‎The sound of her voice stops me cold.‎‎Weak. Shaking. Barely there.‎‎But hers.‎‎I turn. She’s on her knees, blood staining her side, her sword half-buried in the ground. Calistra stands behind her, dagger still slick with Elara’s blood.‎‎‎I launch forward, rage already blindfolding me. Calistra barely has time to turn before I’m on her. My claws slam her down, pinning her against the ground. She screams, thrashing under my hold, but it's all useless.‎‎“You shouldn’t have touched her,” I snarl, voice a growl layered with the beast’s echo.‎‎Her eyes meet mine. It's cold, defiant and unrepentant. “And yet I did.”‎‎She spits blood in my face.‎‎That’s enough.I wrap my hands on her neck, my grip tightening as I lift her up the

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE   243| When the Beast Woke

    DRAVON'S POVA cruel smile settled on my face as Elder Huncho tried to wriggle himself out of my soldier's hold, as though being free will save him from my impending wrath.“Release me at once! Release me!” He shrieks, still trying to be free from their hold. “I'm an Elder! The council will hear of this. The King will punish you all.”I move closer with my horse, jumping down when I'm near the kingdom's traitor.The soldiers immediately bring him to my feet, releasing their hold on him. He sighs in relief, slowly lifting his head to meet my eyes. His eyes go wide and he starts stuttering. “M- my King. You- you're here.”He abruptly stands up, his shoulder broadening with confidence. “My King, bless the Goddess you're here. These soldiers suddenly came attacking me.” His voice suddenly switches to a pitiful tone. “I can't believe I'll be ever treated this way. They even attacked my guards.” He motions to the rogues lying dead on the floor.I didn't know how I spent years believing ever
