Masuk~NYRA“So it’s you!” I yelled as my anger increased with every passing second I saw his face.I couldn’t believe it. My head was blank and filled all at once.How could I let myself be tricked by Lyon again? How could I willingly follow him down here when he was already corrupted totally by Varek?“I can’t believe this!” I hissed, turning around without second thoughts.“Nyra, please—” he dared to pull my hand back but I smacked him off.“Don’t you dare!” I snapped, glaring at him. “Don’t!”I resumed walking out of there but he chased after me.“It’s dangerous out there, Nyra. Please just listen to me!”“I would rather face the monsters outside than deal with the one here!” I hissed.This must have been a game to him. Fuck! How could I be so careless?“Nyra, it’s not what you think. Just— please listen to me. Give me a second chance…”“I think we are way past second chances by now—” I spat out storming out.But just before my hands could touch the makeshift door, Lyon grabbed me. Then
~LYORAI could not believe our luck. The person we had set out to find, somehow turned out to be our savior.“With the look she has given me, I am guessing you have been talking about me, Ried. Yes?” Nathan laughed, taking us deeper through the building.Ried laughed too. But he didn’t respond. Not until we got to a sitting area.There were chairs and a small rechargeable lamp hanging in the corner, illuminating just enough shadows to make us feel some sense of comfort.“So my friend, what was it you were searching for in the open at a time like this?” Nathan asked, when we all settled.Ried gave me one sharp look before letting out a sigh. “We actually need your help, Nathan.”Nathan’s brows furrowed and the ghost of a smile he had vanished.“Hmm, I have been observing everything that has happened in the last couple of days… and it looks a lot like what our fathers faced in the past…”He shifted to the edge of his seat and continued;“…a time when the greatest and most dangerous Vamp
~LYORARied and I made our way out of the castle as swiftly as we could.We avoided the main roads and stuck to side bushes and forgotten paths just in case Odette’s diversion didn’t work as planned.My heart raced with fear as we moved but I kept pushing for my daughter’s sake. I was doing this for her.I knew how much she loved the Thornevale boys. Even when she refused to admit it, I saw right through her. So somehow I knew that fixing this whole mess would give her the happiness she deserved.She had been through so much. All her life I couldn’t even give her peace. We were always moving from one place to another avoiding what was inevitable.At this point, I knew that the best approach was to end it all. So that my baby girl could finally have the life she deserved.“If you need to rest, let me know,” Ried’s voice swept through my ears.But I waved his offer off. “No need. We are almost there.”He threw me a glance clearly seeing the sweat on my face. But before he could say anyt
~ODETTEThe moment Ried’s idea echoed through the air, I knew I was cornered.My pride was getting bruised badly.To think that I, Odette, the first high priestess had to be reduced into taking ideas from mere creatures…It was frustrating. In fact it was pathetically absurd that I was even considering it.The very reminder that I was stooping so low to let Lyora and Ried help me end Varek, made my stomach turn.I was in a very desperate position in this life. And I blamed the vessel I chose.But I had no choice.I couldn’t think of something better and we were already running out of time.I rolled my eyes and took in a deep breath before glaring at Ried.“So, where can we find this… Danielle’s father you claim to be your friend?”Ried’s posture instantly straightened. “He resides in the city just outside the capital. If we leave now, we can reach him before dawn.”Again, his calculation was right. But I sneered at the loop hole it presented.“Okay, so we have his location and a time
~NYRAThe wind blew violently against my ears as my body descended heavily down the cliff.I was falling hard. My brain couldn’t even begin to fathom the pain that awaited me.All I could hope for was sudden death without pain…But then my heart was already squeezing from my failed mission. I couldn’t save them…Cassian. Rylan. Sylver.I failed them.Thinking of them froze time in my mind. And somehow, I saw our last moment.The fear in their eyes as they had drank my blood for the last time. The conflict of trying to protect me and doing Varek’s bidding as they made love to me…“Oh Gods…” A single tear dropped down my eye as the wave of my doom hit me.I couldn’t save them. They were going to be forever doomed to serve Varek. And the world would follow right after.“I’m sorry…” I choked out as the ground grew closer.I closed my eyes and embraced my end—But rather than pain or the end I was expecting, strong arms caught my right arm, knocking air off my lungs.Shock shot through me
~NYRAWith Odette dealing with Varek on the surface, I retreated away from our shared consciousness and focused on the task before me.“Okay, Nyra… let’s do this…” I exhaled as I stared at the white void around me.I knew that stepping away from here could endanger my chances of regaining control of my body from Odette. But it was also the only way that I could save the triplets and stop Varek.Yes, Odette couldn’t be trusted. But she wasn’t the biggest threat. What mattered was eliminating Varek by every means necessary—even if that meant never getting my body back.Fuelled with determination, I began to move.I didn’t exactly have a map of where I was going. But I had an idea. Each time the triplets became monsters, a dark crack appeared on the ground within the white void around me. That had to mean something…So I followed the black cracks. I had a strong feeling that it was a link. A sort of foot trail from the corruption Varek was pumping through the boys. And since we were all
~NYRAAs soon as the first rays of the morning sun filtered through my windows, I jumped out of my bed. My heart was filled with unsettled anticipation.I had to tell the boys what I found.Every nerve in me wanted to rush into their rooms and tell them. So that we could begin the plan for the fire
~SYLVERAll my life, I have never met an opponent that scared me the way Dylan did.And the fear wasn’t out of lack of bravery, but the fact that he couldn’t be beaten.The strength he had… it was out of this realm—nothing that I had experienced before.And I could say with my full chest that I had
~NYRAMy insides groaned with irritation as I watched Danielle clinging into Cassian. He was my mate, and watching another woman in his arms stirred another emotion inside of me.But I had to control myself.We needed her to feel comfortable enough, so we could get the clues we came here for.With
~NYRA“That doesn't make sense, Cassian,” Sylver countered, clearly not convinced by his brother’s answer. “You can’t be so sure of this place without prior knowledge of it.”The tension in the room intensified, and I felt compelled to step in. Cassian was struggling to keep his cover going, and Sy
