Zaria’s POV

Sitting in the car between Gan and Malacar on the way back, I thought about all of the sacrifices I would have to make to keep my kingdom at peace, and I was ready. It was all a game of thrones, of power and greed. I saw them all for what they were, and like any queen, I could not think with my heart. To be feared, I had to prove myself to be merciless and deadly. I also knew they’d come for me; such power was feared and had to be contained, and I wondered what I would do if I were

  • MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM   The king can wait...

    Zaria’s POVI woke up alone in bed and replayed last night in my mind. Valerian was so different; his untamed side surfaced, and let’s just say my body ached. The door opened, and he held a cup, steam rising from it.Zaria…he took the sheet off and looked over my body. I’m sorry if I hurt you…Hurt me? I’m not made of porcelain, Valerian, but I appreciate the concern.I prepared the bath for you, and the healer gave me the same oils. He lifted me before I had a chance to protest and took me into the bathroom. It felt good, I thought, as he washed my hair.Valerian, I want to see more of your kingdom; I mean the ground level, not from above.Of course, are you sure? Maybe take another nap…I laughed. He dried me and handed me the clothes. Then took me downstairs to have breakfast. The queen gave me the same look of disgust. I was Alexandra’s child after all, and King Valkerie was fussing over me. Her son is my mate…Yeah, I can see how this will bother her.But placing dark magic on you

    Zaria’s POVValerian walked into the bedroom, and his eyes started to glow as he saw me. On second thought, I won’t introduce you to my family and friends. I might have to gouge their eyes out. The evening gown he picked for me was soft silk, low, dangerous back, elegant. The necklace he fastened around my neck is probably going to give me scoliosis. The gems were unreal, large and sparkling.Tell me, what is bothering my beautiful mate? His lips kissing the back of my neck.I hesitated. Valerian, I promised always to be honest with you. I hate this necklace, I blurted. The maids froze on the spot. I’m sorry…I appreciate it, but it is heavy and not me…He chuckled and took it off. Then pulled something from his pocket. A golden necklace with a small charm, a dragon with a small yellow diamond eye. I figured that much; hope you’ll accept this…my lips crashed onto his.It's perfect, just like your eyes when you look at me…We better go, or I will never leave the bedroom. What we did in

    Zaria’s POVSitting in the car between Gan and Malacar on the way back, I thought about all of the sacrifices I would have to make to keep my kingdom at peace, and I was ready. It was all a game of thrones, of power and greed. I saw them all for what they were, and like any queen, I could not think with my heart. To be feared, I had to prove myself to be merciless and deadly. I also knew they’d come for me; such power was feared and had to be contained, and I wondered what I would do if I were on the other side. Balancing all this was very hard, and Valerian started to pressure me. I needed him for an alliance, and he wanted my heart and my bed.We do understand, Malacar said, not even looking at me. Valerian is pressuring you…Gan let out a groan. You need to buy time…I did. He gave me the space, and now he came to collect.Zaria, tell us how you feel about him?I desire him, I said honestly, but unfortunately, I know nothing more about him. So here is my decision. My father turned

  • MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM   Great, no pressure

    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
