MasukZaria’s POVMalacar was hovering around me all morning, anxious. I will be fine; stop worrying so much, even though you’re cute when you do that.Zaria, please do not call me cute in front of anyone; I have a reputation to maintain.Oh, I held his beautiful face, big bad demon…his lips kissed me softly. Goddess knows I’m so in love with him. Promise me, you’ll take me to the realm after the trials.Zaria, I can’t. The king is not there; he had to travel.Disappointing, but it's okay. I’m sure he will invite us soon. I wanted to see your house, the kingdom…Focus on the trials. Zaria, control Sia, and control your anger.Yes, sir, Master Malacar. He drove us to the academy. When we walked inside, I felt that something was not right. Nova ran to me.Ready for trials? You’re first in academics, and I’m a little jealous; I can’t deny it. I’m hoping to score high in the trials.Don’t be jealous; you’re amazing in your own way. Now let me get Rune; he is probably mad at me. We walked to the
Zaria’s POVHurry up; he is coming downstairs any minute….Zaria, he called from upstairs, have you seen my tie the one with blue lines?Yes, come down. I have it, I shouted back. He thinks we’re going to dinner. I heard him descending the stairs and turned the corner. Stood there frozen as they screamed surprise.The large living room and dining room were decorated, not extravagant, just a little. He walked to me and kissed my forehead.My love, you really surprised me. Then he turned to all and thanked them for coming. Enjoy yourselves.The music started loud. And Valerian and Noctis came to my side.Master Malacar, Valerian teased him, may we ask how old?Ha, funny, Valerian, he leaned in. Between you and me, I see it as experience; you still have a lot to learn.Got it, he chuckled. Then he noticed the stone. You found the Goddess stone? He asked, shocked.No, Zaria did; it's her gift to me.They both looked at me. What?How long did it take you to find it? Noctis askedA month. I
Zaria’s POVIt has been a week, and King Abrax left; Malacar moved us to his estate. We had servants, and I felt a little out of place.Today, I woke up smiling; it was his birthday, and I was planning a party behind his back. I hated to lie to him. Sia was giggling inside of me. I touched his beautiful face as he slept.His arm pulled me closer, startling me. The heat from his body touching my skin…Okay, I need to get up.I smell your arousal, Zaria. Where do you think you’re going? He pinned me under him.Oh, I wanted him badly; maybe I was ashamed I couldn’t say it.You can have me anytime you want me, Zaria; never think I will ever refuse you. How did he know what I was thinking? Sia. Did you tell him? I asked her. I did not; I told Zor. great.Malacar’s lips touched my skin softly, and my thoughts scattered. His tongue played with my clit as I grabbed a handful of his hair. I pulled him up, kissing him hungry and desperate; he slid in. I let out a gasp.His hips moved slowly, dri
Zaria’s POVThe pain hit me first, then I saw them as the magic whip hit them and they turned to dust. I screamed.Nooooo. I opened the door and bolted outside. I fell to the floor; the surge of anger was rising inside me, and Sia was telling me to give her a command. Everything else blurred. I stood up and walked into the academy. I saw the students running away from me. I looked behind to see the three underworld beasts following me.I stopped at Astrid's door and pushed it open. She screamed when she saw me. I gestured, and one of the beasts got her throat.Now, I said, walking slowly towards her, one word from me and he’ll crush you, which would be fair since you killed the enslaved strigou and underworld beasts. Astrid shook her head, her eyes terrified.Speak, I shouted. The beast drooled black, slimy saliva that was dripping on her.I didn’t do it…Zaria…Zaria…someone was calling my name. I turned to see Malacar; he came closer.“ Look at me. Tell him to back off," he whispered
Abrax’s POVI walked into the conference room to see the faces that long ago betrayed us. Living in my darkness and pain all this time, while my daughter was raised by someone else, and now bullied by my enemies.That was my reason for visiting today. The strigoi sent word; he said the girl who lights his world awakened her powers. At first I thought it was a joke. I had lost hope long ago; no matter how many realms I sent scouts to, they came empty, and the more pain I suffered. My beautiful Zaria looked like Alexandra and had her fire and determination.Now, looking in their eyes, I’m ready to start a war to keep her safe.King Abrax, what can we do for you? the dragon king Valkerie asked.I’m here to restate my seat at the council I said, pulling a chair. I assume it won’t be a problem?Cardona stared angrily at me.King Abrax, I understand you are…Cardona, that seat was given to you by me. Please, gentlemen, correct me if I’m wrong. Should I demand it back?“ You and what army?"
Malacar’s POVKing Abrax stood his ground.Cardona had no choice but to postpone the trials and deal with his unhinged daughter.I rushed to Zaria’s side. What were you thinking? I took her in my arms. We will talk about this later. The king wants a word with you.We walked into my office as King Abrax was giving commands to the demons behind him.Zaria, Malacar, after the trials and exams are over, I understand it will be a vacation? I nodded. Good, you’ll be my guests then.Your Majesty, we are having difficulty in the academy…His hand slammed onto my desk. Zaria got startled. You will not defy me, Malacar.I don’t understand why that will be a problem? Zaria asked.Because our factions never attended the academy after the war…I sighed. Things changed…They will not dare to do anything. Besides, I’m meeting the council and getting my seat back at the table, he said.Now, both of you have lunch with me. I want to hear everything about you, Zaria. By the way, I knew you’d defeat her;
