Celeste

As soon as I entered my bed chambers, my back hit the door, my breathing ragged.

That…Edgar… the intensity. It was too much. I was still catching my breath several minutes later.

I made my way to my bed, and sank into the plush cushion.

I still feel him all over me. His hand, his lips against my skin, on my lips.

I had heard of how powerful the mate bond could be from my mother, and a few other women at court back home, but nothing could have prepared me for that encounter with E

    Celeste The mountain screamed. Not with sound. With pressure. The earth beneath our feet lurched hard enough to throw hundreds of soldiers to their knees. Cracks raced across the valley floor. The glowing blue runes shattered one after another. Dust exploded into the air. Far beyond the northern peaks, a pillar of silver light erupted into the heavens. It pierced the clouds. It pierced the stars. Every dragon on the battlefield turned toward it. The Guardian's golden eyes widened. "The Second Seal..." Its voice trembled. "It has broken." A deep roar answered. It was unlike the Devourer's voice. This one carried no hatred. Only overwhelming age. The sound rolled across the continent. Forests bent beneath invisible force. Snow avalanches thundered down distant mountains. Even the sea far beyond the horizon rose into towering waves. The Devourer smiled. "Too late." "You failed." The Empress tightened her grip on her spear. "No." "It has only begun." The Devo

    CelesteThe silence shattered.The Devourer moved.There was no warning.No roar.No gathering of power.One moment it stood across the battlefield.The next, it was above me.Dark fire trailed behind its claws.The Guardian slammed into it before the strike landed.The collision split the sky.A shockwave blasted across the valley.I was thrown backward.Cassian caught me before I hit the ground."Stay behind us!"The Empress planted her spear into the earth.A dome of silver light expanded around the soldiers.The shockwave struck it.The barrier trembled.Cracks spread across its surface.But it held.Above us, the two dragons vanished into a storm of black and gold.Every impact sounded like mountains colliding.Golden scales rained from the heavens.Black flames poured through the clouds.The air smelled of ozone and burning stone.The Frost Sovereign finally moved.Its enormous wings beat once.The blizzard surrounding it surged across the continent.Snow raced through the sky l

    CelesteSilence followed the ancient proclamation.Not the silence of peace.The silence before the world changed forever.Every soul in the valley stood frozen.No one spoke.No one even remembered to breathe.Far beyond the mountains, another crystal chain groaned.The sound rolled across the land like the toll of an enormous bell.The imprisoned dragon lifted its head.Its eyes remained closed.Yet the movement alone made the oceans tremble."The seal is breaking," the Empress whispered.Her voice carried more fear than I had ever heard.Cassian tightened his grip on his sword."What exactly is sealed?"The Empress never looked away from the distant giant."Our salvation."She paused."And our greatest sin."The words settled heavily over the battlefield.The Devourer's roar shattered the silence."No!"Its massive wings slammed downward.The force ripped trees from the mountainsides.Entire cliffs collapsed beneath the hurricane of wind.Dark crimson fire erupted around its body.

    CelesteNo one spoke.No one dared.The seven horns continued to echo across the world.Each note lingered in the air long after it should have faded.The ground trembled beneath our feet.Not with violence.With expectation.The mountains on every horizon burned with pale blue light.The pillars stretched higher.They pierced the clouds.Then they reached beyond them.The sky itself seemed to ripple.The Devourer's crimson eyes narrowed.For the first time since its arrival, it looked... cautious."No."The word rolled through every mind in the valley."It should have remained hidden."The Empress slowly turned toward me.Her face had gone pale."The prophecy..."She barely whispered the words."It was true."Cassian frowned."What prophecy?"She did not answer.Instead, she dropped to one knee before me.Every Imperial soldier froze.Even the commander stared in disbelief."Your Majesty..."Cassian began.The Empress ignored him.She lowered her head."My heir."My heart stopped."W

    CelesteThe impact shook the world.The sky cracked with a sound beyond thunder.A ring of force burst outward from the collision.Clouds vanished.Trees bent until their trunks split.Every person in the valley was thrown off their feet.I hit the ground hard.The breath rushed from my lungs.Loose stones rolled down the mountainside as the ridge trembled beneath us.Above, the two dragons disappeared inside a blinding sphere of gold and crimson.For one impossible heartbeat, the world held its breath.Then they emerged.The Imperial dragon drove forward with a savage roar, its golden claws buried deep in the black dragon's shoulder.The black dragon twisted violently.Its tail whipped through the air.The strike caught the golden dragon across the ribs.The sound of breaking scales echoed across the valley.The Imperial dragon was hurled sideways.It smashed through the peak of a distant mountain.An entire cliff collapsed.Thousands of tons of stone crashed into the forest below.T

    Edgar I knew about the raids before Vale spoke. You can feel it when the city holds its breath. Morning council ran long — too long. Harren spoke in measured tones about “restoring order.” Corven nodded in grave agreement. Demitri avoided my eyes. They were already acting. I ended the session

    Edgar When powerful men start arresting the wrong allies, they don’t assume sabotage.They assume betrayal.Which is better.I was in the rafters of a print shop when the first confirmation came in.“Corven’s man is screaming about forged seals,” Risa whispered from below. “Demitri’s accusing Harr

    Edgar I sank to one knee, pressing a hand to the marble beneath me. The ground felt impossibly cold, like it was trying to swallow everything I’d built,,and everything I’d lost. Smoke curled around the columns, twisting in ribbons, clinging to the banners that were already singed at the edges. Th

    Celeste The cellar felt tighter with him standing there.Not just because Edgar had grown into himself — broader shoulders, heavier presence — but because the air between them was crowded with things neither of them had ever said out loud.Celeste stayed where she was on the last step.Too close w
