Keira POV

Anger burns inside of me. It's like I've swallowed balls of coal, and now they make a fiery path as they spread through my body.

The crowd around my friend and the fight is thick with the press of sweating bodies. They shout and jeer, filling the mess hall with the sounds of a hundred throats. They surge with excitement, moving like waves in a storm.

Roric's friends are the ones not watching. They form a hard perimeter around the crowd, their job to prevent any interference. Their heads snap up as they see me coming, and they immediately drop into defensive positions. But I have faced every one of them in the ring. I know their moves.

I mow through them with a fury.

My fist cracks as it connects to a jaw bone, sending one person toppling. The impact shoots up my arm. He is already toppling as I spin on my feet, dancing out of the reach of the second. I'm already spinning on my feet, dancing out of the reach of the other person that attacked me. He swings a wild blow inte

    Riven POVI sat by the fire with my arms crossed, the taste of copper still thick in my mouth. The fox meat bubbled in the pot Vayrek had set over the flames. He stirred it with slow, patient circles, humming under his breath like we were in some tavern kitchen instead of deep in a forest filled with things that wanted us dead.The smell made my stomach growl, but I bit down on it. I hated how weak I felt.“Don’t tell me you can cook too,” I muttered, my voice flat.Vayrek looked up with his one marble eye glinting in the firelight. His grin spread wide across his face. “I can. You’ll thank me.”“I won’t.”He only chuckled, like he found my bitterness amusing. He dropped herbs into the pot, and the steam carried a sharp, earthy scent. My chest burned when I breathed it in, the poison still gnawing at me from inside. Every breath scraped raw.Vayrek’s gaze flicked over me, careful. “Still hurts?”“No,” I lied.He smirked. “You’re terrible at lying. Your chest shouts the truth even when

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 126

    Keira’s POV I spat dirt from between my teeth and tried to pull my boots up without sound. Kaden’s horse breathed hot beside me. He sat straight, golden cloak tidy, like nothing had ever touched him.“You march with me,” he said. Short. Commanded. He didn’t need to look at me to make me obey. He never did.I walked. My feet were raw. The camp smell—sweat, meat, ash—hit me and I tasted everything I wanted to break. The gamemaster rode near, whip coiled at his side, smiling his small smile like it meant nothing. The recruits around me kept their heads down. They were afraid for reasons I could not fix with a dagger or a grin.“You did well in the ring,” Kaden said after a while. No warmth. Only the kind of praise that measured what he could use of you.“Thanks,” I muttered. My shoulder throbbed where Sara’s blade had bit. The wound had closed enough to be ugly. Enough to be proof someone had tried to hurt me.He snorted. “Don’t get cocky. You belong where I put you.”A last resettling

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 125

    Riven POV I favour my injured lung as I ride on the back of my beast. The pain thankfully has dulled to merely a throbbing irritation as the antidote works with my natural healing to patch me. Every breath still hurts though. According to Vayrek, the poison works by petrifying tissue. If he hadn't given me the cure, my lungs would turn to stone before it spread around the rest of my body. I would be dead long before that even happens. I suppose that means I should be grateful. I'm not. I eye Vayrek as he walks in front of me, his long legs rapidly eating the distance. For someone with his bulk, he moves with surprisingly little sound. It's like seeing a mountain as light as air. The breeze tug at his fur cloak, but he pays it, and everything else, no mind. We've been riding for the past hour. At first I wanted to leave the beast behind, but Vayrek insisted that the poison would make me too weak to follow on foot. I grumbled, but I followed his advice. As much as I saw riding the b

    Keira POV Vera fixes Thea with a stern glare. The laughter chokes in her throat as her cheeks heat. She grabs a jug of milk and takes a long swig, eyes lowered like a child caught in the act.Vera ignores her and turns to me. “Keira, I love you to death, but you're not making much sense right now. Gavin has been good to us, to all of us. You say you don't trust him, but you're not being very clear on why.”“I—”I almost say the words. They're on the tip of my tongue, existing there like a layer of saliva. Gavin thinks one of my parents must have been a mage. He thinks I have magic in my blood.How will my friends react? Will they see me differently? Half of the recruits already think I'm some long-lost Amazon warrior, and the other half hate me for showing them up. I've never wanted to stand out or be special, but now it seems like I have no choice. What will this information do when it gets out? More importantly, can I trust my friends, who have become family to me, with it?My wolf

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 123

    Keira POV Gavin is the most infuriating man I have ever had the misfortune of knowing. And I've known known the sleazy bastard for a couple weeks. But of course I'm the only one with sense in my friend group. We're sitting around the table in Gavin's hut. Nylo lounges in a teacup stuffed with a pink Nylo-sized cushion. His legs are crossed, his arms outlining the rim of the cum. When I squint, I can make out the tiny cucumber patches covering his eyes, and the faint sheen of a face mask. The moment Nylo and Gavin met, they became quick friends. I had to spend weeks befriending Nylo, but it only took Gavin a couple hours. Gavin mentioned to Nylo that he was a rare kind of faerie and an expectational specimen deserving study. Normal people would find that creepy. Nylo preened and he's been visiting Gavin every night since.Vera, who I've always respected for her good sense of judgment, is no better. All it took was for Gavin to offer to get her books. Large tomes on a variety of sub

  • LUNA'S CURSE; Her Three Messiahs   Chapter 122

    Riven POVI roll off the body of the dead man and lie on the floor. My chest rises and falls as I take deep, searing my breaths as my body tries to heal itself. The poison prevents that. The pain in my wounds seems magnified. I cough, and my phlegm is thick with blood. I study Hammond's body. Five inches of steel connect the hilt of the blade with the stone floor. He's stopped kicking, his mouth opened in a final soundless scream, made immortal by the fact that he will make no further sounds. His one eye stares at the ceiling blankly. At the site of his ruined eye, blackish green vibes spider across his face, radiating like the spoke of a wheel. His skin begins to turn pale, whitening until it looks more like chalk than human flesh. I suppress a shudder as as I see the effect of the poison that's inside of me, doing its work now. I tear the front part of my shirt, and sure enough, just left to my heart, the wound there puckers like a set of lips, oozing black blood and wicked looking
