Rise of the Bloodstone King Dramatics
Chapter 8 - Dramatics DamonMy entire body felt heavy, like I was waking from a sedated sleep. Except I didn't remember falling asleep. My neck ached, and my mouth was extremely dry. My eyes felt heavy as I slowly forced them to open. I stared up at my bedroom ceiling, the sunlight beaming through the stained glass windows. I couldn't remember how I got here or what even happened last night. The last thing I remembered was dancing with Geraldine. Or was it Tabitha?I didn't really care to remember her name.I cleared my throat, the dryness making me wince. "What the hell happened?" I muttered to myself, my voice coming out gravely as if I had spent the whole night with my mouth wide open. Considering how heavy my entire body felt, I couldn't dismiss the possibility of it being true.I felt Helix stir, but even he was quieter than usual. I furrowed my brow as I sat up, rubbing my hands down my face. I paused, pulling my hands away. Something was off; the warmth I usually felt on
Rise of the Bloodstone King Confessions
Chapter 9 - Confessions Damon I walked into the council room, the conversation already underway without me. The voices grew louder as they continued their heated argument. I took my seat, my father's jaw tensing as he stared down Lord Folic, the elder refusing to back down from old traditions. I would never understand how my mother dealt with him all these years. Once I was crowned King, I was bagging the old bat. "He said it himself. He will marry the suitor who captured his attention the most. I thought we all agreed with-" "No, you all forced your opinions and refused any other option." My father snapped. Normally I would have let the bickering continue, but I had things to do, and being here kept me from them. My body was still heavy from whatever magic was placed on me after my ring was taken. The irritation from not remembering the events of last night weighed heavily on my shoulders, along with not knowing who was behind all of it.To say my patience was thinning would be
Rise of the Bloodstone King Fear
Chapter 10 - FearAlora Most fae wouldn't show fear, not unless they were weak-minded. But my mother terrified me, and I couldn't help but feel nervous as I approached her throne room. No matter how many times I walked down this hall, it always felt like the walls were closing in on me.I knew my mother loved me; she showed it to me through worrying about my safety. Showing extreme kindness like hugs and affection would only put me at risk. So instead, she taught me how to fight, use my magic and hold myself accountable for my mistakes. It worked. I was the best thief around because I had mastered my magic. I had taken my punishments without argument. I had overcome most of my night terrors, but sometimes I wondered what it would have been like to show slight weakness. What it would have been like to get a hug when I cried instead of being locked away in one of her mental prisons for showing emotion.She always said it was for my own good, but sometimes I wondered if she was wrong.
Rise of the Bloodstone King Trust
Chapter 11 - TrustAlora I looked over at Helga and then the fae male standing in the entranceway. His words caught both of us off guard. I reached for my magic, preparing to fight our way out of here. "I assure you that wouldn't be a good idea, Alora." His voice was calm but full of warning. My eyes widened slightly before I steeled my expression. Helga's hand gripped my thigh. Letting me know she was ready to attack if need be. How did he know my name?Did we say it to the guard at the door?No, we definitely didn't. I'd remember that. Which only begged the question. How did he know I would be here? Did he work for my mother? What if he didn't work for her? Then someone else knew who I was. All the dangers my mother warned me about started circling my mind. I let out a slow breath trying to get a handle on my nerves. I arched a brow, slipping into the role of the clueless human."I don't know what you're talking about," I said.Of course, I couldn't lie a fae curse, but I had
Rise of the Bloodstone King Message
Chapter 12 - MessageDamon I walked back into my office. Lir, Kier, Balthazar and now Drabek sat on my two lounge couches across from one another. Apollo stood, arms folded across his chest as he leaned against my desk. A grim expression on his face. He knew the truth about me now; his eyes, violet eyes, said it all. I quickly looked away from him, focusing my gaze on Drabek.I had only met the nightcrawler a few times before, but we hit off quickly. His snake-like eyes were always watching, calculating. He was always overly alert, as if preparing for an attack that could happen at any given moment. His visits were rare, but he made the most of them.He stayed for a week after my mother died, and just like the others, we clicked. Even though he mostly spent his time with Apollo, Nesrin, and the others. The five of them discussed things that had happened in the dark and fae realm. Things that even I still knew nothing about, but I understood that they went through something together,
Rise of the Bloodstone King Unease
Chapter 13 - UneaseAloraWe sat silently for a moment, Balor staring us down from behind his black glass top desk, his mate, Reyna, on his lap. The dull thud of the music playing below us was the only noise filling the silence. Helga shifted in the chair beside me, both our magic on the defensive, ready to strike at a moment's notice. This was a game of wits, and I wasn't going to be the first to break. So I put on the mask I wore the best—the pirate who didn't care about others' opinions. Who was fearless and the captain of one of the best ships around. I relaxed my shoulders and let a bored expression take over my face. "You know, telling someone no harm is to come to them and then saying you will kill them if they piss you off doesn't do well for one's nerves, Prince," Reyna laughed. Amusement filled his Sapphire eyes, a smirk tipping up the corner of his lip.It was strange how different Balor looked compared to his brother. But they had similarities I could pick out, like th
Rise of the Bloodstone King Mindgames
Chapter 14 - MindgamesDamonWe stepped through the portal into the human realm. A guard greeted us as we entered. One of the wolves from the Bloodstone pack sat patiently beside him, waiting, only moving to stand as the last of us stepped through the portal. "They're expecting us," Lir stated, taking in the brown wolf before us. "It would appear so," Balthazar mused. "Balor must have informed them," I said."Which means we are heading towards some direction. Whether it's the right one or not is still up for debate." Apollo let out a laugh earning a glare from me. He shrugged his shoulders. "What? It's Balor. There is really no telling with him."He wasn't wrong. I turned my attention to the wolf in front of me, not bothering to give Apollo an answer. "We are here to see Balor," I said through the Link. "The Alpha isn't here, Prince Damon. But he has given us orders to get you ready before sending you to his headquarters in Vancouver." I let out an annoyed sigh. The others looked
Rise of the Bloodstone King New Course
Chapter 14 - New courseDamonBalor was up a second later; vines wrapped around my ankles and held me in place. I let out a frustrated growl as I pulled against his restraints—a cocky little smirk formed on his face as he watched me struggle against his magic. I used my magic to conjure up ice and slice through the vines. But just as soon as I cut through them, more appeared in their place. I went for them again, and he laughed as he leaned back on his desk, folding his arms across his chest and his ankles crossed like this was just a regular Tuesday for him. Cocky prick. "You done?" He asked, his brow arched.I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. I opened them, focusing on Balor. The amusement was now gone from his eyes as he seemed to be finished with his little game. I gritted my teeth, my jaw tense as I gave him a stiff nod. He pushed off his desk, pulling his magic away, and I took a step forward, moving for the chair in front of me, sinking into one of the chairs place
