Ario POVI came outside of our room, heading to the living room. Everyone was here except Jane.โHow is she?โ Pa asked.โShe keeps murmuring father in her sleep,โ I said, collapsing on the couch.โShe really loves her father,โ he said, sitting beside me. I sighed.โI donโt blame her. All her life was a mess. Harold was the only one who cared for her and was there like a father, but he was not her true father. But Aelle is her father; she shares his blood, and he loves her. She must have planned something for this war; Aelle dying was not the plan,โ I said. Everyone went quiet.โBut why did Aelle take that sword? Jane obviously wronged him but still died for her,โ Brandon said. I kept quiet, processing it.โHe couldnโt stand watching his daughter kill her mother, the woman he loves,โ I said.โItโs too sad,โ Odin said, and I agreed with him. We all remained quiet in our thoughts. A lot happened today. After Aelle died, the remaining warriors retreated, running away. We didnโt lose many
Maeve POVI stood, looking at her dead body. She was truly dead, and I donโt know how I feel. Happy she is gone or sad because she was still the woman who gave birth to me. I looked at George.โHow do you feel?โ I asked, my voice hoarse. He blinked. We were the only ones in the room.โLost,โ he said, looking at her. She slit her own throat. She is a coward. I sighed.โIโm sorry you lived a lonely life because of her decisions,โ I said. He looked at me.โWhy are you apologizing? It wasnโt any of your fault she chose to abandon me,โ he said. Who would have thought we were truly related? I never thought about it once, but I saw him as my little brother. When I met him, he was so young, lost, and innocent. I grew a soft spot for him as he stared at me innocently with his doe eyes. He was cute.โI wish you met your father; he would have loved you,โ I said, chuckling. Father has a spot for people like George who are naughty, playful, and powerful; they would have gone along so well.โHe see
Maeve POVโYes, it was all an illusion. Attacking the villages, stealing crops, and attacking the military zone was all an illusion Otto created,โ I said. And I could tell they were all catching up now. โWhat did you tell me the day you got married to chaos?โ he asked.โFirst, I didnโt get married to him. It was me getting married, but it wasnโt me; it was a woman he was in love with. We both did it for our father, but we didnโt actually get married. That night I told you I simply loved you,โ I said, smiling cheekily. He looked at me, shocked.โI thought you told me something very important,โ he said.โIt was important,โ I said, offended.โSo why couldnโt I remember?โ I asked.โBecause I wanted you to be curious. You sought answers and led me to Selene,โ I said.โWhat?โ he asked.โI knew Selene was alive; that was not her I killed. It was way too easy the way she died, but I didnโt know how to track her. But I knew she was watching you, so I made you search for answers, and I tracked
Maeve POVThe thunder and lightning crashed as the rain fell heavily. It was like the rain could tell my mood and how sad and devastated I was. When the demon king told me I had to kill my father, I knew it was a debate. There was no way I would kill him; there was no way I would look at the man who loved me so much and stab him. The look of betrayal would have killed me, torn me to tiny shreds; it would hunt me day and night. The plan was to get everyone to safety. I wanted everyone to be happy. I didnโt want any deaths on my plate, except for Jane, because I was ready to kill her at any moment. But as I stared at their opened coffins, laying side by side, it was very heartbreaking for me. Father has always wanted her by his side, so itโs only fair I bury them together, even though she isnโt worth it.โItโs time to close up the grave,โ Ario said, his arms around my shoulders.โWait,โ I said, looking at my fatherโs face one last time. Of course, the rain is not touching them. They
Maeve POVโDo you think we are babies?โ Bryant asked, glaring at us. It was the next day, and we were with the pillars. We told them about the plan, and I donโt know if they are talking about it well.โYou have no choice; who is going to be the leader?โ Ario asked. They all looked at each other.โWe know you all are not on good terms, fighting each other over the position,โ I said.โStill, you have no right to tell us what to do,โ Kate said, glaring at me. I know she is not a big fan of my mother and me. She especially doesnโt like her; I remember her telling me Kate never really spoke to her and frowned at everything she did. She was supposed to be the leader, but mother was more powerful than her.โI have every right to tell you, Kate. My mother was the leader; I am her daughter, more powerful than you can ever be,โ I snapped at her. She rolled her eyes.โOf course you are powerful; after your mother gave you the title, you didnโt deserve them,โ she spat. I smiled at her.โYou know
Maeve POVโDamn!โ Arthur yelled, totally invested in the game. The game has passed an hour, and none of them is half way yet.โOtto, what did you do?โ Arthur asked, not removing his eyes from the game.โMade it harder,โ he said, sitting down calmly.โYour son is going to be a wicked king,โ Arthur said, and I chuckled. The game is getting harder and more complicated. The clues are hard to find, and if they find them to crack, it is difficult. Plus, the demons that jumped at them out of nowhere almost killed Bryan. Otto made the demons attacking very strong, then the humans attacking used their powers against them, and they have none. The game is extremely hard. Kennet went back to the starting line without his flag; blood was all over him.โOut!โ Arthur yelled. Kenneth growled. Well, he lost his flag, so he is out of the game. He walked over to us, shaking his head while breathing out.โIsnโt this too much?โ He asked, taking his seat. A guard handed him a bottle of water.โNo, itโs per
Maeve POVHow long has it been? About 30 years later? I lost count, honestly. These long years have been filled with a lot of adventure, but surely a lot of things have changed. Pa found a fae woman, and they fell in love. It was hard for Duncan and Brandon to see their father move on, but after a little speech, they accepted. The Fae woman Angela was pregnant two years after they got married; they also didnโt take it well, but I convinced them this was their new life; they are immortals now, and of course Pa is not going to get married for years without having a kid. Long story short, Pa has five beautiful children with Angela, and Duncan and Brandon are the sweetest elder brothers to them.Duncan and Leah are still together, and they are still having more children. Ten years after Brandon got over Mason, he found love again, and this time it was a woman. She was actually his friend for a long time; she was helping him move on and being a mother figure in the twinsโ lives, and along
Unknown POV A young girl no older than 7 walked down the hallway, heading to her fatherโs study. She was clad in a beautiful pink gown her father had chosen for her during the day. Her black hair bounced behind her as she ran to her fatherโs study with a piece of cake in her hand. โFather has been in the study all day long; he must be hungry,โ she said, her smile wide in excitement. It was obvious she loved her father so much; he was her treasure. She got to his study, and before she could barge in, she heard voices. โWhat should we do? We canโt hide her forever,โ she heard her father say. Curious, she opened the door a bit, peeping inside. Her father should have noticed her, but he was too engrossed in his conversation. The little girl tilted her head in curiosity as she saw her father, her mother, her uncle Alaric, and a woman she didnโt recognise. โShe is going to cause so much danger, Harold; we have to hide her,โ the woman said, her voice hoarse. โI am no coward; I donโt care

Third Person POVWar covered the palace of Cassia kingdom as men fought against each other, slaying each other's head. The war just started and right now king Aelle was at the losing side as the warriors of cassia charged at them fiercely. It was like they just finished taking a lot of sugar, as their strength and energy canโt be compared to none. They were slaying king Aelle men like todayโs bread.โDo not retreat!โ king Aelle yelled from his horse. Shouting at the men. He was surprised. He thought they would be resting by now, too weak to fight, but it looks like they have not even trained today. His men were dying.โArchers, get ready,โ he said, raising his hand. The archers point their bow, raised high in the sky.โShoot!โ he yelled. They all shot, and the arrows flew but they stopped mid air as a man appeared. He smiled at Aelle, his hand raised. He was holding the arrows.โHello Aelle, my name is George and surprisingly you are my stepfather,โ he said, smiling at him. Aelle look
Ario POVWe stood in front of the palace. Although we broke it down, we didnโt reconstruct it; we left it like that. But we didnโt break the palace to pieces; someone can still live inside.โLetโs go in,โ I said, climbing a rock. Will Selene really stay here? Well, this is the only place in the kingdom she could possibly hide.โTake the left,โ I said to the guards, and they bowed. Now it was just Brandon and me. We walked around, trying to get a scent or anything.โDo you really think she will be here?โ he asked.โThat is what Mabel said; she should be here or she left after finding out, we know,โ I said. He sighed.โWe really canโt get rid of her,โ he said. Well, we all thought she was dead, so I understand him.โBut what happens if she is here?โ he asked.โCapture her before she causes more trouble,โ I said. He scoffed.โSelene is not that easy to capture; she is powerful,โ he said. I rolled my eyes.โShe is powerful, but I am more powerful, and I have you,โ I said. He chuckled.โI
