Chapter 31 - Everlasting Fire
The hours of the night ticked by slowly. I couldn’t get his words out of my head. ‘I feel nothing for you. You were just a piece to a game I am no longer interested in playing.’ Lies, that’s what his eyes told me. All he was speaking were lies, trying to push me away. I stared up at the night sky until the black of night mixed with the oranges of the morning sun.
As if the sun itself had summoned him there, Balthazar was standing by his horse checking the saddlebags, not even sending a glance my way. At that moment, I decided I wasn’t going to let this silence between us last any longer. Since he could break the deal with me being forced to follow him into the underworld, I would break the deal we made together, stopping him from being forced to lead us to Ryuu.
I grabbed my blanket and rolled it up quickly, not c

Everlasting Fire My King
Chapter 32 - My King “Careful, love. Making promises like that will get you into all sorts of predicaments.” Balthazar warned in a husky voice. The way he changed from ignoring me to taunting me made my head grow dizzy. But as of right now, I didn’t care. Everything about him called to me. My body, mind, and soul craved him in every way it could. “It’s worth the risk.” I drawled. My eyes were roaming his face taking in how dark his eyes were with hunger, how his grin pulled up just enough to reveal the tips of his teeth. The way his lips glistened and how the water droplets clung to his sharp cheekbones, and how it dripped from his almost white hair. A low growl of approval rumbled in his chest as he moved closer. I wanted so badly to run my fingers through his hair. Run them down his perfectly sculpted chest. I wanted to touch every inch of his body and then taste it. But I held back, wai
Everlasting Fire Trust
Chapter 33 - TrustWhen I got out of the springs, I was alone. I quickly got dressed and hurried back to our post so Garren could have a chance tobathe. My head was spinning as I rushed back. My skin tingled where ever Balthazar had touched me. My lips were bruised from how hard we kissed. I could still taste him, which only made me ache for him all over again. I still couldn’t believe how much he had told me. I couldn’t believe that everything, negative and evil, about him, started because of a lie. He was kind, but over time he got lost, broken, and I was the one who needed to help put all the pieces back together. I was the one who was meant to help him rebuild his future, rebuild his dreams.He was the one who saved me from the darkness just as I was the one to cast new light into his life. We were beacons for one another calling each other home. The bond had opened my eyes, but his truths had opened my heart. And now t
Everlasting Fire Kolgrim
Chapter 34 - KolgrimBalthazar POVI felt like the whole world suddenly halted—the words I never expected to hear coming out of Imelda's mouth made me freeze. I wanted to pinch myself to confirm this wasn’t a dream. I felt like the only thing holding me in this new reality was her hand in mine. Gravity only worked because of our pull to one another. I feared that once she let go, this moment would shatter, and I would be sitting out here alone once again.This woman in front of me, with her beautiful waves of onyx hair and emerald eyes that could cast anyone into a trance. She was the only person who could destroy me, could kill me. Because a world without her in it was a world I never wanted to experience again, it set a whole new emotion through me. Fear, who would have thought I would ever get to feel this aga
Everlasting Fire Desperate
Chapter 35 - DesperateThe last few days felt like months as worry ate away at me. I didn’t sleep often, but I woke up covered in sweat andgasping for air when I did manage to pass out. Other twisted nightmares would come into play each time I passed back out. Ones where Balthazar was dead, and I was too late to help him. Others where, Jade never came, and the giants found us instead. One nightmare would morph into the next. It would go from him to me being alone cornered by Luecrottas beast. I was being eaten alive while my screams went unheard. They swirled around each other, going back and forth.The newest nightmare was all about entering the gates of the Empress's home. Only to have Ryuu awaiting us with an army of deranged dragons. The Empress was laughing at the carnage that was about to take place.I don’t understand why the nightmares kept occurr
Everlasting Fire Awake
Chapter 36 - AwakeBalthazar's POVI woke up yelling in agony. My heartfelt like it had ripped out of my chest. My stomach turned at the radiating pain. I rolled over, tossing up bile. A scoff drew my attention to the corner of the room. I looked over to see Jade sitting on a chair. Her eyes focused on the wood she was wildling in her hand. Her tail flicking like a cat playing with its prey. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. Slowly sitting up as my body throbbed, screaming in protest.“What’s so funny?” I asked, my voice rough. My magic was fully restored, but I pushed it too far. The bond didn’t help the situation either. The distance between us was eating away at me, screaming for us to be together.The wood and knife vanished into a cloud of black smoke as she leaned f
Everlasting Fire Dragon Spirit
Chapter 37 - Dragon Spirit Imelda’s POV “How did you get here?” I asked, my voice mixed with both relief and fear. “I go where you go. Nothing could stop me from reaching you.” He turned his gaze to Ryuu. “Not even you, you pathetic excuse for a female.” He sneered. I stared in disbelief. If there were ever a time not to insult someone, it would be now. But Balthazar never played by the rules. He was a king. After all, he made them. Ryuu scoffed. “Oh Balt, I love when you talk dirty to me.” She said, her tone salty. I cringed at the mention of his nickname. I had to remember that she did once mean something to him. Before she hated him, she had loved him.
Everlasting Fire Prices
Chapter 38 - PricesEmpress Sorin stared at us all. I swore I could see the stars twinkle in her golden eyes now and then. Then, aswift smile graced her lips as she took a sip of her tea. She placed her dainty teacup, littered with purple and blue flowers. The rim dipped in gold. No one else made a move to drink their tea. It was almost humorous picturing any of the men holding such tiny cups in their big hands.“This is awkward. Should we speak first?” Oren mused. I bit the inside of my cheek, clearing my throat.“You said you would like to discuss the future-“ Sorin held up her finger, cutting me off. I glanced over to see the corner of Balthazar’s lip tipping up slightly.I gave him a subtle glare as I turned my attention back to the Empress of d
Everlasting Fire Choices
Chapter 39 - ChoicesThe pathwas exactly how it looked, dark and cold. It was as if I was caught in another realm entirely. The trees were dead, the sound of crows echoed throughout the dead forest. A thin layer of fog coated the ground, and the air smelt stale. Not even a twinkling star shined above my head. My footsteps crunching against the gravel and dirt echoing in beat with my heart. I swallowed hard as I pushed back the nerves that kept prickling at my skin.I held my head high as I kept moving forward, subconsciously counting my footsteps as I went. A harsh, cold wind blew my hair around. It was then I realized I was still only in a light tunic and pants. I fought the shiver that tried to take hold of me. No matter what I was going to face, I would face it all to ensure a future for all wo
