Nyx's POV Akira and I looked at each other, absolutely void of ideas of what to do, or how to connect with our powers. We just knew we had to do something. We'd all die sooner than expected if nothing was done.“What do you think we should do?” Akira asked me.“I have no idea too.” I shrugged, holding out my hand. She held it, and we both took deep breaths. “Just stay concentrated, and try to reach for powers beyond us,” I muttered. "Whatever energy you can use to touch that power. Make sure you touch it." “Let's go.” Akira said, closing her eyes, but mine was open. I could not close it. It felt like the best way to reach for whatever was inside of me.Around us, the battle was spiraling into a nightmare. Our warriors were struggling, barely holding their ground as they fought the other side. Blood soaked the battlefield, mixing with the strange blue liquid pouring from Neptune’s fallen soldiers. And the goddesses? They were playing with us. They were having fun, and it showed in
Kieran's POV Neptune's fist was still frozen in place, trapped in my grip. His eyes widened, filled with disbelief. His power and his confidence were gone in an instant, straight into thin air.I felt no pain. No weakness. The burning agony from the water daggers had vanished as if it had never existed. My body was stronger than ever, overflowing with unstoppable energy. The Red Alpha was finally here, and now, we had become one. The disrespect and the abuse had to stop, and we were all here to ensure that.With a slight squeeze, I heard the sharp crack of Neptune’s knuckles breaking under my grip. He gasped, and his smirk faltered for the first time. I met his shocked gaze, my voice was calm but laced with unshakable rage. "You should have never spoken about my mate." Neptune barely had time to react before I snapped his wrist backward with ease. The sickening pop of bones breaking filled the air. He let out a strangled cry, staggering back, cradling his limp hand. “You son of a
Kieran's POV The battle erupted like a raging storm. The moment Neptune hurled that ball of water at me, the entire battlefield descended into chaos. Warriors clashed with furious intensity, as their roars and battle cries echoed through the air. The scent of blood mixed with the damp, salty essence of Neptune’s army filled the air. This had become an atmosphere filled with danger. “Nyx, stay safe!”I barely had time to breathe before more of Neptune’s soldiers rushed at me. They looked monstrous, their bodies covered in a strange layer of seawater that clung to their skin like armor. Their glowing eyes were filled with hunger for destruction. My fists tightened, and I let the power of the ring flow through me, since the Red part of me had refused to show up.The first soldier came at me, reaching for my throat with his sharp long claws. I reacted fast, driving my fist straight into his chest. The ring’s energy exploded from my hand, and in an instant, the soldier turned to dust. I
Kieran's POV “Oh damn.” I growled immediately when Jephta landed that blow of news on me. “We are not yet fully prepared.”I fell silent for a while and my mind spinned as I tried to process everything. My breathing grew faster, coming in short, uneven gasps. The weight of the moment pressed down on me, making it hard to think clearly. Around me, voices rose all at once. Everyone had something to say, their words overlapping in a chaotic mix of concern, confusion, and urgency. The noise filled the space quickly, making it feel even more overwhelming. It was as if the whole room had erupted into chaos, and I felt myself getting lost in it. Nyx's hand rested gently on my arm, grounding me in a way nothing else could. The warmth of her touch sent a calming sensation through me, pulling me back from the edge of panic. I closed my eyes for a brief moment, forcing myself to focus. I needed to regain control, to steady my thoughts. I took a deep breath, then another, trying to align myse
Akira's POV I woke up feeling a little better, though there was still a lingering tiredness in my body. My muscles ached slightly as I stretched, and the moment I did, memories of the previous day came rushing back into my mind all at once. A shiver ran through me at the thought of how close I had come to death. If Trent hadn’t shown up out of nowhere to save me, I might not be lying here right now. As I lay there, I became increasingly aware of my own vulnerability. I felt bare, as if all my defenses had been stripped away. It wasn’t just the physical exposure—it was the emotional weight pressing down on me. The realization that I had been powerless at that moment made my chest tighten with discomfort. I hated feeling this way. This fight isn’t just another battle for me. It’s personal. Too personal. And no matter what, I will take my revenge. I will get my own pound of flesh, sooner rather than later. Determined to shake off the thoughts consuming me, I pushed myself up from the
Nyx's POV “How was a week without me?” I asked, kissing him.“Torture. Absolute cinematic torture.” Kieran growled, biting my lower lips gently. “I wanted to die at some point.”“How are you so obsessed with me, and you're not afraid to show it?” I asked, giggling. “It's a threat to most people.”“From the moment we got together, I knew that I was in love.” Kieran kissed me again. “Fuck everyone's thoughts.”“And now, I'm beginning to feel alone in the obsession.” Kieran chuckled.“Boy, you know that you're in my head 24/7. You're the only person I'm obsessed with.” I kissed him again. “You have so much control over me that I'm going crazy.” “You speak for two.” We kissed again.Kieran pulled me closer, his strong hands gripping my waist firmly as our bodies pressed together. His warmth surrounded me, making my skin tingle with anticipation. I could feel the hard shape of him brushing against me, teasing me with every slight movement. A shiver ran down my spine, not from the cold, b
