"Rebeccah....Rebeccah" my name was a soft whisper in the wind. I tossed in the empty bed, trying to go back to sleep but the voice came again.

"Rebeccah" the soft whisper caressed my bare skin. I open my eyes and recognize the room immediately. I jumped out of bed and ran towards the door. I ran down the familiar hallway, the floorboards creaking under my feet. I stopped in the doorway of the living room. The familiar figure was in her usual chair, rocking back and forth while she hummed a soo

    I stood outside Leonidas' office for a long time. My fingers hovered over the knob for a long time but I didn't go with the temptation to open it. I was a ball of nerves. Suddenly, the door cracked open and I took a step back. Leonidas stared at me, a long look on his face. "How long were you planning on standing outside" he said softly. "I thought you were busy. I didn't want to interrupt" I lied swiftly but Leonidas still caught onto it. "What's the matter with you?" "Nothing. I..." "Come inside" he took my hand and pulled me in. "Tell me. What's wrong?" He asked in a soft voice as he sat on the chair, pulling me into his legs and wrapping his arms around me with that comforting warmth that made me forget everything. I leaned into his touch and my worries seemed to disappear. “I..” I paused and sucked in a breath. I didn’t know how to break the news to him. Everything had been going well between us for the last month. Some issues had not been formally resolved but w

    I couldn’t believe my ears. It didn’t sound like I was hearing right. “He did what?” Cara sighed loudly. “He felt guilty and..” my heart clenched as I remembered that I’d lashed out at him about everything. Guilt ate me up. “I’ll speak to him” Leonidas said before I could get any word out. I nodded and stood up. “I’ll be back with Zeus” I mumbled and he nodded, staring at me with a longing I couldn’t quite explain. I walked to Zeus's office and found Fenrir standing inside. “What are you doing here Becca?” “I came to get Zeus for Leonidas. But you don’t have to go immediately. He’s having a private conversation with Christopher” Both men nodded and Zeus looked away but Fenrir continued to stare. “Are you okay? You look pale” “I’m fine” I forced out and turned away. My legs ached as I stood out in the hallway, too many things were happening all at once. While I was relieved that Leonidas was alive, Christopher’s sacrifice weighed down on me. I shouldn’t have said tho

    KING LEONIDAS POVThe first thing I noticed was the guard holding onto Rebeccah. The scared look on her face.“Get your fucking hands off her” I growled and he jumped back, staring at me like he’d seen a ghost. My head suddenly felt heavy and my vision swayed. My fingers waved in the air as I tried to regain my composure.“Leo..” Rebeccah rushed over to me, her dainty fingers brushing my arms gently. Tingles shot up my arms from where her fingers touched me.“Are you okay?” She asked in panic, touching my face.“I’m fine. I…”“You’re supposed to be dead” Finn’s voice came from across the room and I finally looked over at him.“What the fuck are you doing?”His gaze shifted and his lips parted.“What I should have done a long time ago. Taking what belongs to me”His attempt to keep his voice steady failed miserably. Finn was no king and he’d never be. I looked over at the men that flanked him and I wasn’t surprised. A change in power would come with great change in loyalty. “Even i

    “What? How the fuck did he get here? How did it happen?” “I have no idea. Last I saw, they were marching to the throne room and nobody could stop them” My fist tightened beside me and I looked at Leonidas. I wanted to stay by his side but I also couldn’t let this happen. I jumped to my feet. “Make sure no one enters” I said to the guard as I marched down the hallway to the throne room. Fenrir pushed open the door of the throne room and a memory replayed in my head. The last time I’d been in here, the king had made me pick and someone had been murdered. At that time, I’d considered him the worst monster but seeing Finn seated on the throne, a triumphant smile on his face, it only told me that I’d been wrong in my judgement. Finn had never been a good person. He’s just been good at manipulating everyone into thinking he was the better off brother. And now, I’d pick ten ruthless Leonidas over one good Finn. “Some visitors” Finn said with a grin as he stood to his feet. A g

    The smell of dust clawed me awake from unconsciousness. The first thing I took note of was the cloud of smoke that hovered in the air. I rolled to my side, ignoring the pounding headaches at the base of my skull. Christopher lay an inch away, a large boulder sitting on his feet. I moved to a feline position and crawled towards him. “Christopher…Chris” I nudged and he gasped awake like he’d just woken up from a trance. “Becca?” “I’m going to move this off you” I coughed out and pushed the boulder off his feet. “Fuck” he howled, clutching his feet tightly and I helped him up. I looked around the tower that now lay in ruins. Bodies scattered everywhere, unmoving. I clawed through the smoke, ignoring the sound of Christopher’s calls. I climbed over bodies, stumbling over one and almost falling over but I held myself up. I needed to find Leonidas. “Leonidas” I called loudly, still stumbling through the smoke and bodies. After what felt like forever, I arrived at the center o

    I followed the old witch’s direction. I walked north for miles, running at some point. It wouldn’t be long until Lucious noticed I was gone and from the fierce look on his face, I knew he’d come after me.The dark fall lands stretched out into a dense forest I had no business in. But the determination to get to Leonidas kept me moving. I knew the exact moment I’d crossed over into the free land. The air changed and an electric surge charged through my veins. It felt like something had awakened in me.The path was lonely, leading to nowhere but I kept walking. My legs ached and my lungs burned. The temptation to stop grew with each second but I knew I couldn’t risk it. Leonidas had been gone for hours which meant he was closer to the sacred stones.A huge sigh of relief escaped through my lips as soon as I saw a house in the distance. I hurried towards it, running at full speed and bursting through the surprisingly open door.The house was quiet. Through the dark hallways, I dragg
