MasukThird PersonHelene suddenly froze, her hands trembling against Liora's stomach. "Luna... Luna," she called, her voice trembling with every sound. Everyone noticed. Emade quickly abandoned a basin of warm water and rushed to Liora's side. Her trembling wet hands quickly grabbed Liora's, and for a moment everyone held their breath."Helene," Emade cried, but before she could say more, Liora's hand twitched within hers, then her pale lips pulled into a tired smile."What's wrong, Emade?" she asked. Tears streamed down Emade's eyes, uncontrolled. Emade shook her head hastily, wiping her eyes."Don't scare me like that... don't scare me."Liora nodded. Her other hand reached for Emade's wet cheeks as she leaned down, letting her clean some of the tears. "I'm waiting for your brother. We are waiting." Her eyes fell to her stomach. "We won't go anywhere, not until he comes."Emade nodded, but she dared not leave Liora's side. "Please, Helene, she must be okay," she pleaded. Everyone wanted
Third PersonLiora’s body slipped from Emade’s grasp. It all happened so quickly, yet so slowly. They watched her crown fall from her head as her golden ornaments jingled against the hard floor. For a moment, everyone paused and stopped staring at the culprits. Their eyes fixed on their Luna, and loud gasps followed.“Luna!”Some gasped, hands reaching out to her, but it was too late. They watched in horror as her back came in contact with the floor, and a low, painful howl escaped her lips. Then her eyes blinked.“Carry her inside. She can't have the baby here,” Everest instructed.But Helene quickly stepped forward, stopping Merlin, Emade, and Oman, who had all reached for Liora.“Moving her is dangerous for the baby,” she said, examining the baby's position.“The negative energy around this arena will kill the child. Before it arrives, she has to be carried into the Alpha's estate. There, the Alpha's pheromones are stronger and can protect her and the baby until his arrival.”Helen
Third PersonTaron Caswell looked defeated, but what stung wasn't the defeat ... it was the person who had pushed the blade straight into his heart."For years you have schemed, paid your way to the top, and killed the very people who held your hand and drank from the same cup with you, thinking your family..." Liora paused and drew in a long breath. "Isn't it funny ... I did nothing. Kael isn't even aware. Your daughter handed over everything without me asking. All she wants is justice for her mother."Taron Caswell shook his head. "No, Yella would never," he stammered."Indeed, the little princess you raised would never betray you ... the daughter you thought hated her mother would take your side and lay down her life for your sake. For your sake she put aside a bond and married the same man who had caused her so much pain. But today we aren't talking about that little princess of yours ... we're talking about a soon-to-be mother.""No, Leonard would never let that child live." Lior
Third Person"No... a servant's word cannot outweigh those of a former prime minister!" Logan Montreal snapped. Merlin's lips curled cruelly."Oh, really? Truth has never cared about rank. Moreover, this door was opened by the same man ... why can't it be used?" They were all speechless.Taron Caswell couldn't believe the same path he had laid out so perfectly was now turned against him. Everything stared at Liora, and something in him shifted. "There was no investigation... You knew from the beginning," he mumbled the words like the broken man he was."You are just like him." Realization hit Liora like a storm without limit. "He could leave at ease, not because he feared, but because he left something far more dangerous behind." Compliment or not, Liora enjoyed it. She watched the man who had schemed for twenty years finally show signs of breaking."Seal every entry and exit... no one steps in or out." The order resounded against the walls, and everyone turned to the exits. Taron Cas
Third PersonThe moment Liora whispered "I won't die," her voice came out a little louder than she'd anticipated, and everyone turned. They quickly noticed her pale face, her trembling hands now in Emade's grip, squeezing even harder. Her jaw was clenched so tight her gaze pierced like a double-edged sword."My queen," one of the black witches instantly stood, but Liora held up a hand, stopping her. "I... am okay," she said through gritted teeth. Everyone could tell she wasn't; the trial could be put on hold."Sis... please, big brother will kill me if anything happens to you," Emade cried."We can withhold the trial, Luna," Merlin took a step forward, but Liora quickly pointed at him, stopping him."No," she groaned painfully, her voice barely above a whisper. "I won't allow my child to be born with such disaster lurking around," she said, teeth clenched. "Proceed." She roared, her eyes darkening as Ora came forward, her pheromones sweeping through the entire arena, the pressure suff
Third PersonThe sky was clear, the rising sun guiding their way. "Are you sure you don't want us to stop for a snack... or sleep?" Varik asked for the seventh time, but Kael's face was as pale as always, and his lips opened only to let go of the same one-word reply. "No." He'd been saying that since they left. They hadn't stopped for anything besides gas and the location on the letter. Varik sighed and leaned back in the chair. Something was wrong with Kael ... the way his fists clenched on the wheel, the way he drove above the speed limit, the way his breath came out in slow gasps at times. "Is everything alright?" Kael's eyes remained on the road. "We have to get home soonest." Varik glanced down at the map they were working on. Soonest meant three days at most, with one stop for gas and maybe another for food. "The snacks Emade packed are almost finished," he complained under his breath. "Then get more when we stop for gas," Kael shot back, a little annoyed. Varik could tell hi
