Lillia… wake up!

Lillia stirred, burying her face deeper into the pillow, choosing to ignore the voice that tugged at the edge of sleep. She had dreamt of him—his scent warm, his touch lingering longer than memory allowed.

Lillia… wake up!

Lillia’s eyes snapped open, a sharp breath slamming into her lungs as she jerked awake.

“Yes—Yes I’m up.” She stared, half expecting to see Kyla pounce into her, as only Kyla had that energy, but her room was empty.

Lillia exhaled, her fingers combing throu

    When Lillia became fully aware of her surroundings, she immediately sat up with urgency, her senses snapping into place all at once. And the first thing she realised was that this was not her chamber. So where was she? Her fingers twitched against the sheets as her gaze drifted downward. They were a dark shade of grey silk, smooth beneath her touch and cold, much like the ceiling above. As a matter of fact, everything in the room carried that same cold, dark and controlled tone.Instead of the soft cream curtains that filtered light gently into her chambers, these were heavy black drapes, drawn just enough to allow thin blades of sunlight to cut through, casting long shadows across the room rather than warmth.Every piece of furniture was placed with purpose, from the broad, imposing bed she sat upon, to the polished surfaces that reflected just enough light to reveal their presence without drawing attention. Even the air felt different. It was still and grounded, carrying a quiet

  • The Alpha King’s Mate Is An Ancient   FIFTY-SEVEN

    It was always a different tale. For everyone who had fought with death, and lived to tell the story; it was always a different experience—terrifying. Peaceful. Saddening. Rush. There also were never many who had kicked death in the teeth, and lived to tell the story unscathed.They were called death whisperers, because they were never the same again. One way or the other, their souls bore a mark, having escaped the tight grip of death. And for them, it is said that one way or the other, sooner or later, death would come for what it was owed.Perhaps, death had come for Lillia, and once again, she had snatched her soul right out of its grip. She had stared it in the face and kicked it in its teeth.That could never have been said for the woman she used to be, and even as she sunk deeper into the black waters, slipping into unconsciousness, and into the darkness until no trace of her remained at the surface… She did not fight it.Everything had once been loud, and this does not refer to

    A low and dangerous chuckle escaped Lillia’s lips, and as her eyes returned to the place she last saw Amelia, one word followed. Agreed!The warmth within her exploded, the powerful force scattering the entities she could now see as shadows without a form, before propelling her forward with an immeasurable speed. As she moved, Lillia’s eyes drifted downward, eyes widening as she caught the reflection cast by the light of her glow in the waters below. Fenris was huge and beautiful, matching Lillia’s speed and pace toward Amelia, her large furred tail swished powerfully, piercing silver eyes like Lillia’s, glowed. Fenris… Lillia’s words escaped with a breath that echoed and instinctively, she reached out her hand towards the reflection. The moment slowed.When Fenris’ eyes met Lillia’s, a large silver fur covered paw pushed out immediately and touched Lillia’s hand. Then, Fenris disappeared, and almost in an instant, there was a shift.When Lillia’s hands clamped around Amelia’s a

    Lillia’s eyes widened. I will pour all my energy into you so you can survive. You can live for us, and even if I am not here anymore, I know you will be alright. No—don’t you say that. Don’t you dare give up on me. A tear rolled out of Lillia’s eyes as her vision began to blur. Her fingers stiffened on Amelia’s hand, fingers digging into skin. She could now see the world in slow motion, the chaotic fight Amelia had while slowly killing her, the wide grin Amelia had on that did not reach her blank stare. She saw the people that fought to save her, the horrified and desperate expressions her maidens had as they struggled again and again. Images began to flash in her eyes, her father—his death. Her rejection—running through Clearwater forest, the cold bite of the cliff as she fell. Regaleon’s deep dark eyes—the blinding pain from his blade. And now Amelia’s blank gaze. I cannot die like this—No!!! Lillia gritted her teeth. Even though she could barely breathe. Even though her str

    “You are the dark magic user and your governess is a Gypsy.” Lillia shouted, her voice rolling out with thunderous authority as her cold presence exploded. She stood tall, head raised high as she glared at Briar Rose's shrunken figure that seemed to fold in on itself. “You are a murderer. You committed countless murders of innocent maidens, and attempted murder… thrice. And you sit at this table and call me shameless? How dare you?” “Who do you think you are to shout at my granddaughter—” “She is the Queen, Luna of Wolfsbane! What audacity did your granddaughter have to harm my daughter and the Queen?” Elder Blackwell shot up too, his eyes bloodshot as he fired back at Elder Montclair, and the palpable tension bled into chaos. “She is not my Queen. She is never our Queen!” That was Elder Greyson. “Then you would rather a murderer become Queen? Treason! Completely and utterly treason—” “My granddaughter is not a murderer—how dare you— you black foreigner.” Suddenly—amid the hea

    Loud gasps flew around the table as the truth about the ritual they had taken part in had been exposed. None of the nobles wanted to be a victim of dark magic. But Lillia simply raised her palm, her expression as ravishingly calm as ever. “Yes, I lied about the ritual.” She said lazily, “but it is harmless. They were empty words, not backed by dark magic. But I did that because only the dark magic user would understand and would not repeat the words.”As she concluded, her gaze searched the table, watching as all the nobles except Elder Montclair once again turned in rapt attention to Briar Rose, and her nails dug into skin.But as a thought suddenly settled in her mind, she lifted her gaze confidently at Lillia. “Despite the respect and good intentions I hold for you, I never expected you would see me in this light.” Briar Rose straightened, her voice grew quiet as she spoke, sounding very harmless, as if she was being wrongfully accused. “Yes, I was angry that our bridal selecti
