Marked By Midnight Chapter 128: A Queen’s Gamble
Lunessa’s POVI couldn’t believe what I had just heard.I’d been standing by the door the entire time, eavesdropping, not out of mistrust, but instinct. Something in Azrik’s voice had told me not to leave completely. So I stayed, quietly listening.When Draven finally stormed out, he didn’t even notice me at first.“Draven,” I called softly, reaching out to grab his hand.He stopped, eyes clouded, pain swimming beneath the surface. Not the kind of pain from wounds, but the kind that comes from being misunderstood.“I need to go,” he muttered, voice tight. And just like that, he walked away, not sparing another glance.I stood frozen for a moment, unsure whether to chase after him or return to Azrik. My heart ached for both of them.When I stepped back inside the ward, Azrik was sitting at the edge of the bed, but visibly torn. His eyes were distant. I didn’t ask. Instead, I took a deep breath and kept my voice steady. “Are you strong enough to go home?”“Yes,” he said, grabbing the s
Marked By Midnight Chapter 127: The Blade You Never See
Azrik’s POVI forced myself up, every nerve in my body screaming.Blood poured from the gash at my side, but I didn’t care. I sensed one of them fleeing, fast, but I was faster. Pain blurred my vision, yet instinct guided me. I launched myself forward into the woods and tackled him to the ground, my body crashing atop his with a bone-jarring thud.“Who sent you?” I growled, voice gravelly, blood dripping from my mouth. My fingers dug into his collar as I pinned him.He stared at me with hollow, sunken eyes. No fear, no answer.“I’ll let you go if you talk,” I said, my vision tunneling, my head spinning dangerously.Still nothing. I slammed my fist into his face, once, twice, until blood splattered, and his mouth fell open in a silent scream. That’s when I saw it.I froze.There was no tongue, just a butchered stub. A chill slid down my spine. Was he born like that? But no it doesn't seem natural. Someone carved it out, a cruel silence forced upon him? A method to ensure loyalty or el
Marked By Midnight Chapter 126: Ambushed By Trust
Azrik's POVI’d doubled the patrols. Tripled the clearance checks. No one entered or exited the territory without an identity scan, a scent match, and a guard’s eyes boring into their soul. No room for error.Ever since we caught that soldier and he slit his throat with a smirk, I hadn’t rested. Not really. I’d been working like the enemy was already inside the house, because something told me, maybe they were.Draven came by my office that afternoon. We shared lunch in the dining afterwards, talked strategy, even managed a few sarcastic jabs like the old days. He left for his home, and I returned to the office, but the moment I stepped into my office, a paper sat neatly folded on my table.My eyes narrowed. No scent, no marking and nothing to trace. I unfolded it with deliberate fingers. The message was short.> Give your children willingly, or there will be more bloodshed than the Blood Moon five years ago. I’m sure you remember.I froze. My heart didn’t just skip, it went cold.M
Marked By Midnight Chapter 125: What Still Lurks
Lunessa’s POVSince it was only a sketch, I tried not to dwell on it. I let the unease slip into the background, convincing myself it was just my paranoia acting up again.But a few days later, someone matching the description was captured, caught trying to slip past the border and held in the city dungeon, just near the edge of the woods.Azrik was visibly relieved, even excited. Still, I insisted on going with him. And when I saw the man my heart dropped.He was beaten and bruised, barely able to lift his head, but still smiling, a haunting smirk plastered on his face. From where I stood, I raised my hand to cover half his face, mimicking the sketch. The resemblance was undeniable.“Are you sure it’s him?” I asked quietly.Draven nodded. “Yes. He confessed. We found a black magic orb on him. Luckily, we caught him just in time, at the border. If we had been a moment late, he would’ve vanished again.”“Vanish?” I echoed.Draven nodded grimly. “The orb channels dark magic. It makes t
Marked By Midnight Chapter 124: Eyes That See The Unseen
Lunessa’s POVThe entire town was in an uproar.Since the discovery of the rogue corpses, the atmosphere had shifted, thick with fear, buzzing with rumors. Even at the hospital, gossip clung to every corner. Nurses whispered between rounds, patients glanced nervously at the news updates on their screens.Some said the bodies were fake, staged for attention. Others murmured about black magic, their voices barely above a breath, as if speaking it aloud would summon something from the dark. People believed whatever suited their fear.I returned home and found Azrik in his office, the office dimly lit except for the glow of his laptop screen. His eyes were locked on it, shoulders tense, jaw tight.Without a word, I walked in and placed a glass of juice beside him. “Hey.”He looked up and gave me a tired smile. “Hey,” he murmured, then gulped down the drink like it was the first thing he’d tasted all day.“What are you working on?”“I asked the Gamma to send me all the CCTV footage from ar
Marked By Midnight Chapter 123: The Breach Within
Azrik's POVFor months now, life had settled into a rhythm, a rare, golden stretch of peace. I managed pack affairs with precision, but more importantly, I was learning to manage something far more delicate, my family.One quiet morning, we were seated around the breakfast table. Seraphira was babbling about her dreams while Shaelith tried to sneak berries into her milk. Lunessa looked radiant in the soft light, her laughter wrapping around my heart like silk.Then my phone rang. Draven.“You need to get to the western borders. Now,” he said without a greeting.My jaw clenched. “I have to go,” I said quickly, downing the rest of my tea like it might somehow slow my pulse.Lunessa’s smile faded. “Is everything okay?”“I don’t know yet,” I replied. “Let me check first.”I pressed a kiss to each of my daughters’ foreheads, then kissed Lunessa. “I’ll be back soon.”I didn’t use car, it would only waste time. I unlocked my speed and raced across the land. The wind tore at my clothes and h
