Zaria’s POV

Can I help you, Mr. Cardona? Sia was stirring inside of me, wanting to come out. Stay calm; I can’t attack a council member.

Zaria, can I have a few minutes of your time? He gestured to the dean's office.

We walked inside, and he locked the door. Be ready, Sia; he has some bad intentions.

You- he pointed his finger at me, humiliating me in front of the school. How dare you sing a ballad?

Show me the rule that says I couldn’t. I looked defiant at him.

See, that's the problem, Zaria,

    Zaria’s PovMy father walked in when we all sat to eat at the dining table. He kissed my forehead and took the seat at the head of the table.The council is investigating, but we all know who that is…then he noticed Valerian at the table. Why are you here?Zaria is my mate; I needed to see her… It's hard to stay away… stammered under the glance of my father’s eyes.Anyway, the trials have been moved to an unknown location, and not even Cardona will know. That is the good news; the bad news is we have to delay your welcome home, princess. The kingdom was looking forward to your arrival.Dad, tomorrow we have to attend the meeting with the Elf Lord, I said as Gan reached for my hand. I looked at him for a few seconds.That’s ridiculous. I will not wed a girl fae that I don’t even care for…and you will not have to accept Fergus.Agreed. Then let’s pretend we negotiate and feel our way; I think we could learn something from that meeting.The dinner moved on, and I took Gan’s hand, walking

  • MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM   Proposal

    Zaria’s POVI don’t understand. How is Gan your brother? Care to explain? Malacar let out a loud growl.He is lying; I do not know them. I’m the son of the unselie king, Gan said, and I felt through the bond that he was telling the truth.Shit, brother, what did they do to you there? I know Dad hated you since the day you killed our mother, but I didn’t think he would go that far. After all, you were his favorite son.Tell the whole story, Fergus; don’t go around the bush.Gan was seven years old when he lit the curtains on fire, killing my mother and others trapped in the ballroom. My father beat him to a pulp, stripped him of the elf rights, and sent him to the unselie kingdom. He paid them to torture him and remind him what he did.He was a child, I shouted, remembering the images I saw when I first touched him. This tells me the elf lord is crueler than I thought.So you'd rather be mated to a killer? Fergus asked.Gan is not a killer, I shouted. Black swirls of smoke started to r

  • MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM   Brother?

    Zaria’s POVI was still first on the board after the two rounds, and I looked once in the audience to see my father, Malacar, and Gan. They looked tense, and I wanted to smile. So sweet. I wouldn't let my guard down; something was about to happen, and I wouldn't let Gan die. My dreams never failed me; maybe I can’t change fate, but I will change the outcome.The next round was weapons, different kinds. Gan taught me everything: how to feel around me, how to read the opponent. Malacar taught me to be fast and deadly. I love them both, maybe a little too much.Nova helped me clasp the warrior chest piece, a heavy, thick leather piece that made us look like walking turtles.Good luck, she said. Get them, princess. She knew I hated that, and it boiled my blood. I needed that anger.I was paired first with a massive she-dragon, had some killer muscles, and probably would snap me in half if she wanted to. But I was faster, and muscle doesn't always mean power.Choose your weapons…the words

  • MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM   Deadly mistakes

    Cardona’s POVThe coven gathered for the emergency meeting; after all, we were the largest realm and the strongest until Zaria unleashed her powers.Thank you all for coming. Today we have to decide on a life, because that person will change the balance of power in the realms. Gasps.King Abrax’s daughter…Are you sure she is his daughter? someone asked. We will take a backlash from the Gods if we…Silence, I shouted. Yes, Zaria is his daughter, and her powers surpass ours together. Unravel my magic… more gasps.We can allow her to live; she will destroy our realm, taking revenge on her mother.But we didn’t kill her mother, someone shouted.She strongly believes that I did, and that I plotted against her. Which I did, but they didn’t know that, I thought.How are you planning to do this? Darius came closer. Let me take over; I will finish her.Good, the idiot thinks he is a match for her. Yes, you're a powerful warlock, but she uses black magic. They all gasp. Please remember, when I

  • MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM   Decisions

    Zaria’s POVWe were entering the last week of the semester at the academy, and for a change, nothing had happened in months; they let me be for once. But knowing them, they were planning something; I guessed graduation.Malacar was stressed and finally told me he would accept Gan as my second mate if it made me happy. He hasn’t told him yet. I broke the bond with Rune, the mate bond. He was still my familiar.I felt bad, but I was trying to sort through all my feelings, and I had none for him besides being my familiar. Rune was devastated but got over it fast. Noctis and Valerian gave me space, and with graduation approaching, I had to decide. They wanted full bonds, which meant many things; I felt nothing more than desire for them. At night, lying down with Malacar and Gan, I told them how I felt; they listened, but they couldn’t interfere with my decision.Nova finally bonded with Professor James, and he is willing to stand next to her when she becomes the queen of fox shifters. I w

But I played along.How is my mother’s death my fault? Found someone new to blame for my mother’s death?You got five seconds to take the chains off before my mates will shred you…and as I spoke, Gan appeared in a whirl of black sm
