18. A Hero’s Burden

Penulis: Denny Ink
last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-01-11 04:24:10

I had become some sort of local hero after my confrontation with Alpha Primus, which was both flattering and deeply uncomfortable. Word had spread through Mountain Back like wildfire, the story growing more embellished with each retelling until I’d supposedly sent five guards flying, quoted an entire legal treatise from memory, and made Kieran himself bow before leaving. The reality had been dramatic enough without the additions, but I understood why people needed the exaggeration. They needed

  • The Mate They Threw Away   208. A War Without End.

    Sage.The killing was a show of power. Saturn wanted me to see just how powerful he was when he killed the winged creature. I was still in shock from the execution that I had just witnessed. Why did it happen?“Do not look so distraught, Sage. This thing happens more than I can count.” Saturn said as a creature covered in fur and a thin tail came forward. It scurried like a rat and began to eat the headless corpse of Orion. It looked exactly like a rat but in sapient form. I deducted that maybe it was some sort of scavenger. I gagged as I wa

  • The Mate They Threw Away   207. Tartarus.

    Sage.“You might not want to hear this, Sage but it is the truth.” Saturn said but I heard his words like a distance echo. His words jarred me deeply and dare I say hurt me. I did not have the heart to listen again because I was afraid of what I could hear again.“I have seen countless creatures like you, Sage Winters. It is always the same story. Someone does something unnatural thereby causing things to fall apart and decay. You are one of many stories, Sage Winters. You are the doom that called to me.”I shook my head as my tongue went dry.“You may not agree with me but you will sit down and listen or you can leave without your sister’s magical voice.” Saturn said in a soft regal manner.I regretted asking him for his life story but I knew that it was too late to back down. Elvira’s voice was important and without it, she would not be able to cast spells.I sighed deeply and watched the court of creatures mingle with one another. I did not want to look him in the eye lest I lost m

  • The Mate They Threw Away   206. The Court Of Eternal Night II

    Sage.I sat by his said on a bronze swanlike chair and watched as he handled his Court. Saturn’s rule was absolute and iron-fisted. There was no room for rebellion or defiance. Even the very air around us bowed to him and showed him respect.I knew that I had to be on my best behaviour because he had my sister’s voice with him. I had seen Elvira using her magic but with Saturn casually taking away her voice, it revealed just how powerful he was as a creature.“How were you able to defy my powers?” He asked casually, never taking his eyes off the preceding of his court.I was confused by his question. “I don’t understand.”“When I called you into the void, you called me out of it. How did you do it?” he asked again.Should I lie to him? I was not sure that it was a wise move to reveal Oracle to him.“Magic,” I said with a shrug. “I had your name and I had the location of where I was going. All I needed to do was transfer myself and you to another space.”“But magic requires sacrifice,”

  • The Mate They Threw Away   205. The Court of Eternal Night

    SageI had expected darkness.The darkness between worlds, whatever that looks like, crushing, probably, and cold, the kind of in-between space that is not meant for human bodies or human minds. I had braced for it the way you brace for impact: teeth together, breath held, every muscle tensed against something that hadn’t arrived yet.Instead, I stepped into a world.It did not ease me into itself. It simply existed, fully and completely and without apology, and I was suddenly inside it with no transition and no warning and no opportunity to prepare.The sky was red. Not sunset-red, not the red of something borrowed or passing through, an eternal red, deep and absolute, the colour of something that had decided on itself long ago and had not reconsidered since. Lightning moved across it in constant, silent arcs, not

  • The Mate They Threw Away   204. The Door Between Worlds

    Sage Something was wrong with Saturn.I noticed it the way you notice a fault line, not because you can see it, but because the ground above it behaves differently. The air around him shimmered, which is a small word for a large and deeply unsettling phenomenon. It wasn’t heat. It wasn’t light. It was more like reality itself was having difficulty agreeing that he was allowed to be standing in it, like two magnets of the same polarity being forced together, the space between them trembling with the effort of something that should not be and yet insistently is.He couldn’t stand still. Not the restlessness of impatience, but something more fundamental. His enormous frame kept shifting, fractions of movements, like a signal cutting in and out. Here, then fractionally less here, then back.“Is there a problem?” I asked.He looked at me, and that terrible crimson smile arranged itself across his face, slow and deliberate, the smile of a creature that has lived long enough to find almost

  • The Mate They Threw Away   203. Dark Obsession.

    ​​​​Kieran.I wanted her more than ever but I could never bring myself to admit it. Sage had become the bane of my existence and every moment that I was not with her was torture.I was uneasy by the way she seemed to be changing. She seemed different, more powerful and out of my grasp as the days went by. My loins ached for her fleshy folds and I was eager to see the sapphire smokes once again.I yearned to be in her sensual grasp once again. I paced my newly installed office of work. I was apprehensive as my brain worked for solutions against coming problems.Ever since my fellow Alphas and I took power for ourselves it has been a rollercoaster of rebellion, sabotage and assassination attempts.I had survived four hundred and twenty-seven assassinations in just three months. There was a rebel faction of the Continental Council that wants to take back power. I smiled and hoped that they were in for the long ride if they truly wanted me dead.It would take more than poisons and arrows

    Sage.I passed the night with the Rejected.“I am surprised you came back here,” Elektra said as she showed me to a room that was both spacious and elegantly furnished.“That makes two of us,” I muttered absent-mindedly. “Magnus will join you in a minute, he is busy taking care of the bodies.” Ele
