Aegis's P.o.v

I hate paperwork.

I mean, I really, really hate paperwork.

If I’d known being Alpha involved signing my soul away to endless reports, requests, and financial breakdowns, I would have let Brianna keep the damn title.

I tapped my half chewed pen as I glare at the towering stack of documents. Yes I chewed the to part off but you can't exactly blame me. I tried to focus. I really did. But after five minutes, my brain starts to feel like it’s melting.

I groan, dragging my hands down my face. "This is actual torture." With a dramatic sigh, I slam my head onto the desk. Maybe if I knock myself unconscious, I can get out of this.

Or…

A slow grin spreads across my face. I mind-link Noah. Hi, lovely Beta Noah.

A pause.

Then, "Yesss?"

"I need some help."

"No."

I gasp. "Noo? But I didn’t even say with what!"

"You don’t have to. If it’s paperwork, the answer is no."

I whine. "Noah, please. It’s so much. My brain is rotting."

"Nope."

"But..." The mind-link cuts off. I b

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Sixty Six

    King Damien's POVI had faced armies without blinking.But the thing standing in front of me made my chest forget how to work.She was huge. Bigger than any creature I had ever seen. Her bright silver scales caught the firelight that surrounded the God standing beside me. Her wings swayed at her sides, shaking slightly, as if they did not yet know where to rest. Smoke slipped from her nose every time she breathed.Aegis.My Aegis.A dragon.I stood still because I did not trust my legs. My wolf had gone quiet in a way that scared me.She’s mine.“I’ve only ever heard of dragons in stories,” I said, my voice rough with awe.The God stood beside me, calm as ever. Fire curled lazily around his shoulders. He did not look surprised. He never did.“Same here,” he said. “This is the first time I’m seeing one.”I stared at him. “You’re saying they were never real.”“They were not,” he replied.My eyes went back to her.Then what was this? What are the fates up to?Aegis shifted her weight. He

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Sixty Five

    Aegis's POVI couldn’t sit still.I paced the room from wall to wall, barefoot. The stone floor felt warm under my feet.“You’re going to wear a path into the floor,” the king mumbled, sitting on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on his knees, watching me like he had been doing all day.“I’m fine,” I said.“You’ve been saying that for the past twenty hours,” he replied. “And you haven’t stopped moving once.”I crossed my arms and stopped for exactly two seconds before starting again.“Come sleep, Aegis,” he said. “You’ve been panicking all day.”“I am not panicking.”“You are pacing like you’re being chased.”“I don’t want to sleep.”He leaned back on his hands. “You’re exhausted.”“That doesn’t mean I should

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Sixty Four

    Aegis's POV My body reacted before my mind did.I stopped walking.The air inside the place was thick, warm, and heavy. Not like outside. Not like the rest of the city. It pressed against my skin and settled in my chest.The floor beneath my boots was smooth stone.Paintings covered the walls and ceiling. Every inch of them, of a human-sized yellow bird, filled them.A big statue of this same bird sat on a large bronze platform in the center of the building. Its large wings spread wide. Fire wrapped around its body. Its sharp blue eyes looked alive and watching.My stomach clenched and dropped.I took another step forward. My pulse picked up. My palms dampened.Something in me stirred. In recognition.“Where are we?” I asked.My voice sounded strange in my own ears.The Fire God stood at the center of the space. He looked smaller here, but only because the room was vast. Power still rolled off him like heat from a furnace.“This,” he said, “is a temple.”My eyes stayed on the paintin

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Sixty Three

    Aegis's POVWe were met by some well-dressed people near the edge of the platform. Normal people. Two arms, two legs, same familiar faces. If I ignored the faint glow under their skin, I could have mistaken them for anyone back home.One of them bowed slightly to the king. “If you could please follow us, we’ll be leading you to your rooms.”“One room is fine,” the king ordered beside me. The heat that landed on my insides since I stepped foot here rose up again.I turned to him with my mouth open. The firm look on his face stopped me.I shut my mouth.Barely.The guide nodded and motioned for us to follow. We walked through a wide corridor made of dark stone. Blue flames ran crisscross through naked lines in the walls, steady and calm, like veins.The hallway opened into a city. A large, beautiful city. I slowed without meaning to. I had never seen anything like it.Glowing people walked the streets. Some laughed. Some argued. Some carried baskets. Children ran past us. Everything fel

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Sixty Two

    Aegis's POV “My name is not Lyra.”The Fire God didn’t react right away. He stood where he was, tall and solid, on a red clay platform, fire rolling off him like it was part of his skin. The ground under him stayed red-hot, but it didn’t crack. Nothing around him dared to move unless he allowed it.“I’m sure you didn’t come here to argue names with me,” he said.“Of course not,” I bit back at the annoying immortal in front of me. “Because I didn’t come here to be renamed. And I hope you know you’re a shitty host. I didn’t exactly expect comfort, but one should be able to expect basic courtesy from the planet of the ‘Fire God.’” I finished with air quotes.I don’t know what it is, but everything in this place makes my skin crawl. Badly.The King shifted beside me. I felt it without looking. That small movement he did to reassure me that he was ready to jump in if needed.The God finally looked at me fully. Not through me. At me.“You step into my land,” he said, “uninvited, and you co

  • THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA   Chapter Sixty One

    Aegis's POV Jaxon dropped it on the table like it had offended him personally. The heavy book’s sound echoed through the room. Dust lifted into the air. I held my breath.“This is it,” he said.Of course it was.I stared at the cover. Dark leather. No title. No markings. Just dust and ash.“This is from the Royal Library’s private collection,” Jaxon added. “I couldn’t find any other books that mention anything about the Fire God.”I slid my fingers closer, then stopped. My hand hovered over it.Maybe I should wait for the King to open it.I glanced sideways at him. He wasn’t smiling. Right now, his mouth was set, sharper than his eyes.“So,” I said, because silence was worse. “This book takes us where, exactly?”Jaxon looked at me for a long second before he shook his head and answered.“The Fire God’s territory.”My throat tightened.“Is it another planet?” I asked, pursing my lips.“No one knows.”I nodded. “Figures.”The King finally turned to me, a thoughtful look on his face. “Y
