LOGINKieran’s pov“” We should start moving; we need to leave now’’“”You are right; we have solved one of the riddles. We should move on to the next one. Let’s leave now,” One of Riley friends said “What about me?” Arianna asked “You are coming with us to the next riddle”“I have to come with you all? ““That mark on your knees looks incomplete and eager to be solved. Tell me, don't you feel any pain on your knees? ““Sometimes… ““And that’s why you are coming with us to find Riley. We need you two in the same room to see if what i am thinking is right”“What are you thinking?”“She mentioned that she had always felt incomplete in her life so is the mark, i just want to test my theory if it will appear on riley’s body then they are the key to bring that witch down once and for all”“And if they are not?”“I will rip out her throats with my own hands this time”“We are ready”Riley’s friends stood behind me, waiting ‘’ you won’t be coming with us for this one”“But”“I will need your ey
Riley’s pov‘’Ugh’’ I groaned for the third time, trying to use my powers to break down the wall, but to no avail. It’s been three days since I woke up and found myself in this white, locked room. No one has been here to check in with me or even look for me. I haven't eaten anything in days, and when I try to use my powers, I get weaker, and now I am starting to cough out blood.‘’Kiddo, how about you wait a while till you get your strength back a bit? "I feel like we are meant to be stronger than this; if I try harder, I would be able to break down a part of these walls. ‘’You have been trying for three days now; how about you take a breather? I am sure our mates are coming to save us. ’’‘’I can’t keep waiting for people to come save me all the time.’’ ‘’You have done well. ’’I ignored Rica, who also sounded incredibly weak and tired.He wouldn’t get it: the price of waiting for people you thought loved you and finding out that no one actually cares.When we first opened our ey
Arianna’ PovThe three immortals. I have always heard about them but have never been in the same room with them. Sebastian said that they don’t act that much different from the others, but why do I feel like there is hardly any air in the room while I am with them?Their gaze on me felt like they could see through me and the plans I have with Sebastian.‘’We don’t have time for chit-chat. Who are you, and why are you the riddle?’’Kieran?That has to be him.Sebastian had mentioned him as impatient. I gulped nervously as I moved back a little, trying to hide my shaky hands.‘’Calm down’’ a deeper but more calculated voice said across the hall; his pupils were shining, and they looked calm but dangerous. If I am not mistaken, he has to be the dragon king….Darius‘’He would console you in a minute and snap your head the moment you lie or say something wrong; you might have to choose your words wisely. ’’Sebastian's voice boomed in my head as I remembered what he had mentioned about him
Darius povHe believes he has walked this world alone, But half of his lineage has a home of its own. Born on the same night beneath a single moon, Separated by a secret, they parted too soon. She moves unnoticed through Kieran's land, With no crown on her head and no sword in hand. Seek the one who is the riddle, not the clue; The words she holds will guide you through. ‘’ Let’s be honest, things will be faster if we try to think and not just complain about how hard it is getting for us; we will never get to find Riley at this point, " I calmly explained Kieran gulped and exchanged glances with the others, ‘’You are right; let’s read through this together ‘’‘’Good’’‘’Who do you think he is talking about? Let’s start with that.‘’‘’He believes he has walked this world alone. ‘’Is this someone we know or ourselves?’’‘’I have never believed once that I was alone; I have my kingdom, and I had my family in other places, so I am not alone. ’’ Cassian chipped in.‘’I am
Kieran’s povRiley is missing. These guys lost him, and I understand. That is a lie. I don’t understand why Riley is missing!. ‘’We don’t deserve this, stupid mates. Let’s end them’’ Killian suggested in my head; apparently, he is as confused but more angry than me. ‘’Let’s not be impulsive for no reason,’’ I warned.‘’Wow, that used to be you, " I ignored him and went back to the four people in front of me. ‘’I need you to tell me everything all over again. How did you lose him, and where were you when this happened ‘’‘’Just read this letter; maybe you would understand. I snatched the paper from his hand and skimmed through it. The one who had written it wants us to solve some puzzles together that would lead us to getting Riley back.’’ Darius said‘’This doesn't answer the question, " I insisted."We heard from these two," pointing to Riley’s friends, "that your kingdom was planning something against you when you arrived, and Riley wanted to come." That was why we set out to fi
Darius pov''What’s that supposed to be? Map riddle?'' Felix asked ''We are not that far from Kieran’s kingdom anymore, are we?'' I said, but more to myself''Let’s get moving "''You guys are going to believe this letter and follow it.'' I turned to look at Oscar and walked closer to him ‘’ you came to tell Riley about what was going on with Kieran, and we moved without hesitation.''Yeah, but he is not missing. What if this is a distraction?'' He argued.''It’s not; it’s a clue and a warning that we should move fast.''''Who is this witch, and what does she want from you? Felix asked.''It’s the very witch that cursed our bloodline and kingdom. We have a mate now; I was wondering when she would move to take her chance against us.'' I said in a cold voice.''She might be the one that sent him to us.''''Either way, we can’t waste any time; let’s pack.''Cassian and I went into our tent to start packing while Riley’s friend did the same thing. I leaned against the edge of the tent a
Chapter 2 Riley pov, I froze as I felt the air change, turning around, a huge black dragon flew above me. My breath hitched as I watched it descend before me, transforming into a tall man, his eyes glowed red for a second as his black locks flowed down his back. ‘’The fuck?’’ I muttered to mys
Pow !! The gunshot went off for the final lap, and I was already leading the track. The crowd was going crazy as they cheered out of excitement. I was running with all my might. I smiled to myself as I noticed that I was almost at the finish line. It's my 18th birthday today, and I finally have

Chapter 6Riley’s pov.........Struggling awake, groggy and slow, I leaned into a sweet but familiar warmth that pulled me in. Unaware of my surroundings, I nudged the warmth with my head.The feel of a hand or arm grabbed my waist and caressed my hair, which made me freeze."Awake?" a voice asked.
