VALRIK'S POV]

I've always been a levelheaded person, always solving issues without much violence, unless required otherwise. And I never lose my temper.

But right now, seeing Liora on her knees, the blade a few inches from tearing into her skin awakens something in me that I never thought was possible.

I'm by her side in a second, pulling her up from her knees and into my arms. She buries her face in my chest, her entire body shaking. My glare meets Kaelen and I have to restrain myself from marching over and tearing him apart.

“Who said you could touch her?" My voice comes out calm despite the raging fury inside me.

“She should be executed. You know the law, Lord Valrik," Elder Varyn says, rising to his feet.

"Everyone out."

I don't have to repeat myself. The elders and the guards made their way out of the courtroom without any delay. They know when not to piss me off.

Chimera rushes to my side, and places her hand on Liora's back. “She's shaken, Valrik. Let me take her to her

    [LIORA'S POV]I stare at my mother wide eyed and shocked. I must have definitely misheard what she said. She did not just say that Nythros, the god who waged the great war is my father. How the hell is that even possible? Come to think of it, given the number of strange events that have been happening to me recently, this is not really a surprise. I bet next thing I'll hear, the sea is dried up, or that the mountains have changed positions “We just keep getting into more and more danger," Nyme grumbles and Franky, she's right. But then what can I do? Accept my destiny or not, I'll still be in danger. I'd rather I be able to protect myself from anything. So accepting my destiny it is. “Nythros, my father," I say, turning to Valrik. He had managed to track down my mother's location as per my request. He used his shadow powers to kind of check in on her. Imagine my horror when the first thing I heard was Nythros being my father. “You seem to be a magnet for danger, little troubl

    [CAELIR'S POV]I stare at my cousin like I am seeing a ghost. For years we all thought Mila was dead, when in fact she was alive and well. Nothing much has changed about her. Aside from the fact that she reeked of something different, something wrong, something as a result of Nythros. “We have to get her ready," she says taken off her cloak and placing it on the hanger by the door. I don't answer. I stare at the place she calls home. It's more like a hut, hidden in a small village in the human realm. The neighbourhood is quiet and not many people could be seen walking around. The hut in particular is small and dark. The windows are locked and the only source of light is the small candle burning by the hearth. “You know you'll still be welcomed home, right?" I say. “Don't make regret telling you where I live," she says pouring out what looks like coffee into two cups. “I'm not royalty anymore. The only thing I'm currently thinking about is my daughter and how to make sure she do

    Everyone is silent for a while. I stare up at Valrik, but he's not in the least annoyed. Or maybe he is and is just very good at hiding it. Whichever one it is, leaves me unsettled. The last thing I want is to be caught in the middle of some crazy family drama. Valrik exhales, dips his hands in both his pockets and takes two steps towards his father. “Do you know something, Father?" He asked, voice calm. Too calm. " Grandfather passed down the authority to me. That means I am the Lord of Noctra. I get to make the decisions and you get to obey without questioning.” He reaches out and pulls me close to his side, his hand wrapping around my waist. “Liora is my mate, and the only woman that will be addressed as the Lady of Noctra. Anyone who thinks otherwise should feel free to present his or her complaints to me in person." With that he takes my hand and once more shadows surround us. By the time they clear off, we are in a large bedroom. There's a hearth burning steadily, giving

    Something twists in my stomach. Nyme growls, wanting me to shift so she can tear apart the witch who's currently holding onto Valrik like she owns him. I force the storm brewing inside me to calm down. Folding my arms, I lean back against the wall and stare at them. “I've missed you, Val," she pouts. " You were gone for so long and it was getting boring.” I examine her from head to toe. Curly red hair, modest figure, and obviously a vampire like him. He doesn't hold her, but neither does he push her away. “I'm gone most of the time, Olivia." His voice comes out flat, unemotional. So Valrik. " That's going to stop,” she wound her hands around his neck, pulling him closer. " Father says we're getting married in two weeks.” I snap. " What!!” I push away from the wall and head towards them. I pry off her hands from Valrik's neck and stand in between them, forcing her to take a few steps back. She stares at me like I'm dirt beneath her shoes, but I couldn't care less. “Val, who's t

    LIORA'S POV]" Who do you think is hotter,” Nyme asks as I get ready for breakfast. A maid knocked at my door earlier this morning saying Chimera would love my presence at breakfast. " Caelir or Valrik?”" Your question is very inappropriate, especially at this particular moment,” I tell her as I turn to the mirror to adjust my hair. " I think it's Valrik.” She goes quiet for a second. "No, it's Caelir. Urgh! They're both hot.” A laugh escapes me as I attach a purple butterfly clip to my hair. “You're confused." I step out of the room and head for the dining room. When I get there, I'm greeted with the sight of my mates, sitting at the breakfast table with Chimera. They are all chatting and laughing as they eat their breakfast. Well all except Kaelen. The sadistic asshole sits at the head of the table, face set in a cold stare. There's no hint of a smile or amusement on his face. It's like he's not part of the table, or the conversation. Bastard! “Good morning, sunshine!!" Chi
