LOGINTHIRD PERSON'S POVThe young priestess was truly speechless. She had no idea what to say or do.Of everything she'd expected to encounter, finding out the future Luna was a witch was not one of them."You don't have an answer." Merilyn whispered. The utter devastation in her voice pulled Caelys out of her thoughts.Caelys stared at Merilyn again. Could this be what the moon goddess meant by the fulfillment of the second prophecy?But she had no idea what the second prophecy was, or if it was even related to the powers Merilyn had."What exactly do you want me to help you with?" She asked. Merilyn had only told her what was happening but not how she wanted Caelys to help."I want to understand what's happening to me. Am I truly the reincarnation of Queen Raskia? Is that why I have her powers? If yes, then why are my memories blank?"Caelys sighed. "I'm sorry, but I don't have answers for you.""You could ask the moon goddess." Merilyn said, not missing a beat.Caelys stared at the Alph
MERILYN"I can't believe the King actually let her go like that." Lyn said, digging her teeth into the apple in her hand."Hiding her without any evidence would be a huge problem." Kitara added, leaning back against the chair, with her head in my lap and her legs on Heira's."But we all know she did it. It's so obvious. Alina probably knew some mysterious secret of hers. That has to be why she killed her." Lyn whispered, her hand moving animatedly as she pushed the apple back to her lips and took a huge bite."The good news is she's gone now and no one will be in any more trouble." I said, staring at Heira.She smiled thankfully and played with the leaf in her hands.When Kairen made the announcement earlier during breakfast, everyone was surprised. No one expected Lorelei to leave so easily. But she did and I was extremely grateful to the moon goddess for that."Hopefully, she'll never come back." Lyn reached for another fruit."That's impossible. She'll be back in a couple of weeks
KAIREN"We're their reincarnation."Her words rang continuously in my ears. I passed out after our intense love- making session, only to wake up with a nightmare so horrific it sent my heart pounding out of my chest…And ever since then, I haven't been able to go back to sleep again.My eyes lowered, staring at my unsuspecting mate, cuddled up next to me. Her body rose and fell to the rhythm of her breathing.A chill breeze came in through the window, causing her to curl more into herself, leaning towards me.My hand reached for the hem of the blanket, and pulled it over her naked shoulder.I'd probably overreacted when she mentioned the reincarnation stuff.But when she told me I was the reincarnate of a man who killed his mate, especially when it was so clear I was also going down that path, my reaction wasn't that bad.In my brain, it felt like a confirmation that the exact same thing was going to happen to us. So yes, I didn't want to accept it. But Merilyn was adamant.With a sig
MERILYNI huffed with an eye roll, "This again?"His brows furrowed, "What do you mean by again?""Another person being accused of killing Queen Raskia. First it was her sister, now it's her mate." I threw my hands in the air, "King Cassian loved his wife. He would never have killed her.""You think I'm lying to you?""No, I think you're mistaken. You weren't there so how would you know?"He sighed, "This is not a rumor, Merilyn. Even if you don't believe anyone else, trust me. I'm royalty. You think I wouldn't know about the root of my lineage?"I crossed my arms, "Well, last time I asked you, you said you didn't know.""It's not something I go about declaring to the world. It's shameful and tragically stupid to admit that the King killed his own mate.”“Hell, I might be the only one who knows about this, and I still don't know the full story. The real truth is hidden way too deep.”"I can promise you, he didn't do it. If that's why you're so worried, then don't be. Cassian would nev
MERILYN"What were you both talking about?" I asked, peering up at Kairen as we walked side by side, our arms linked."Nothing important. Nothing you should be bothered with." He answered.The news of Elder Hevrick's demotion spread like wildfire. Gwen had hurried into my bedroom to tell me about it , and almost immediately, I worried that Lorelei — or her uncle — would take this lying down.What if they retaliated in the worst way possible?Kairen cupped my chin and made me face him, our footsteps slowly coming to a halt."What are you so worried about?" He asked, his other hand coming up to smooth the frown lines on my forehead."You stripped Elder Hevrick of his title — aren't you worried there'll be a rebellion from the Tyron family?"He sighed, pinching my cheek gently, "If I worried about every single subject who might rebel against me, I wouldn't be the king everyone fears.""Now leave the worrying to me. All you need to know is that Lorelei won't be a problem anymore.""How? U
THIRD PERSON’S POVThe moon stood high in the cloud, illuminating everything in its path. Valios moved silently down the hallway, his shadow gliding against the wall as he walked past. The door opened as he walked in, his gaze fell on the bundle cuddled up on his bed. Valios shut the door, only pulling away when he heard the soft click of the lock slide in place. He walked further into the room, undressing until he was left in his pants and a turtleneck. Valios slid into bed, next to Heira and her body instinctively turned around and curled up against him. His hand moved beneath her, cupped the back of her head and pulled her closer until she was perfectly molded against him. A soft purr filled emanated from deep within him, and Valios let out a sigh of relief. Finally, she was safe. He peered down at his mate, watching the way a strand f herflickered as his breath made it dance. He breathed in her scent slowly, calming his racing heart until it fell into a more peaceful rhythm.
KAIREN“Wh-where are you taking me?…” She drawled as her jelly legs made their way across the pavement. She reeked of alcohol and something sweet. Her scent has grown stronger in the last couple of minutes. “Ohhh, are we going to get laid?” she giggled, limply leaning on me as I held her up. “W
MERILYN“LUNA!” The loud shattering of ceramic shot through the air; shards flew all over the place. I froze mid-step and stared at the broken ceramic bowls. “Oh, that’s bad.” I stared at the maid; her face had gone pale,her eyes filled with dread as sweat dotted her forehead. “I’m sorry. I didn
MERILYNThink carefully. Or I might kill you if I don’t like your answer.I jerked awake with a scream. My eyes darted around searching for the threat, looking for the three-headed monster that had hovered over me, threatening to kill me. My stomach churned, cramps squeezing the life out of my or
MERILYNI silently followed the men as they led me away from the airport into one of their very luxurious cars. “Please,” the man gestured, and I got in. Fear oozed from me like an open dam. My hands clutched my bag tightly, and my eyes kept darting to the man seated next to me. How on earth had
