LOGIN*Yo guys! Congratulations if you've made it this far!🥳🎉 I apologize for mass publishing the final parts of the book, but I have exams coming up, and err...I needed to get it off my chest ASAP. Anyway, this part is technically like a trailer for the book II, so it's not going to be singular. It'll be random. So, stay hyped! ********* When I was ten, I drowned in the pool up in my parents penthouse. I was their only child and their heir, so they couldn't leave me for dead. When they performed the ritual that brought me back to life, they suddenly didn't want me alive either. Why, you may ask? Well...it's because I came back with a demon. ********* "We're not supposed to be doing this," Kael rasps against my lips as he slides inside me, filling me up with his length. "We are... fuck!" My breath is snatched out of my lungs when he hits my G-spot. Then, I start to grind my waist slowly, but he increases his pace. Almost like he can't wait to be done. Irritated, I push aw
Valen’s sharp fangs pull away from Olivia’s pale wrist, the action precise, and the immediate look on his face is already bad news. He wipes his mouth slowly with the back of his hand, his eyes dim dark and opaque with concern, and shakes his head once in defeat.But I ignore that sign and stupidly let the hope bloom in my chest."So?"“The core dark magic isn’t dormant in her system anymore, Zeke,” he confirms, his voice too quiet, too steady, which I instantly recognize means he is not calm. “It’s been completely pulled out.""That's...good news, is it not?" I look at Roman who isn't as enthusiastic as I am, and Valen continues."Yes.""So, she should wake up any minute from now?"He shakes his head. "She’s not merely in a deep sleep because she's tired from the fighting the past month. She has fallen under the sleeping plague.”"No...no...no, no, no."My vision instantly tunnels, the world contracting down to a single, agonizing focal point: Olivia’s still, white face. Skye's claw
Malakai’s dry, amused laughter rolls through the oppressive darkness like it’s echoing inside my very bones. Zeke explicitly told me not to stray, told me to stay firmly at his side, told me a hundred logical things that made sense in a war environment. But sense means absolutely nothing when the entire battle is visibly slipping out of control, the respawning shadow warriors are overwhelming our forces, and Kael, the living focus of my worst vision, is right there in the middle of everything I’ve already seen go horribly wrong.My legs move entirely before my panicked mind catches up to the decision. I rip myself violently out of Zeke’s desperate reach and push through the chaotic swirl of shadows until Malakai stands directly in front of me, exactly where fear has been placing him in my nightmares for months.He smiles broadly, casually, like we’re old friends meeting on a sunny, pleasant day.“Ah, Olivia. You’ve certainly learned a lot in a very short time,” he says, his eyes bri
The wind at the summit of the Frostpeaks feels sharp enough to instantly slice exposed skin, a brutal, physical force, but everyone is far too hyper-focused on the enemy to notice the cold. We finally reach the final plateau of the mountain, and the entire world seems to hold its frigid breath with us. Malakai’s cavernous lair yawns open in the sheer rock face in front of us like a massive, hungry mouth waiting to swallow something whole.Kael, Roman, Zeke, and the elite Generals immediately spread out, issuing combat signals low and fast through specialized earpieces. The assembled army—Lycan, wolf, Fae, vampires, panther shifters and Elf alike—listens intently, like their lives depend on perfect obedience, which they absolutely do. Zeke hooks his fingers securely through mine, squeezing my hand once—a hard, final, possessive assurance.“Stay right with me,” he murmurs. “Do not break formation, no matter what you see.”I don’t answer. I can’t answer. My lungs suddenly feel tight,
I try desperately to steady my shallow breathing, but it is entirely useless. My heart won’t slow its frantic rhythm, no matter how tightly I squeeze my eyes shut in the oppressive darkness of the tent. Zeke is sound asleep beside me, wonderfully warm and completely tangled around my waist like my wolf anchor, as if he’s subconsciously afraid I’ll vanish into the dark if he dares to loosen his grip. His breath is slow, deep, and steady—almost aggressively peaceful. I desperately wish mine could somehow match his tranquil cadence.Valen explicitly warned me not to try this again. He had made the action sound equivalent to stepping directly onto a live wire—that attempting to access that psychic path again would give away our position to Malakai and our weeks of travel up the mountain for a surprise attack would all be wasted.But I don’t care about the risk anymore. I need concrete answers. If I am truly stuck with this cursed, contaminating power even after Malakai is dead and gone
Valen and I are technically supposed to be “scouting” and conserving energy, but that lasted a grand total of about five minutes before the sheer boredom drove both of us to wander off into the desolate, glacial valley surrounding our camp. The rest of the troops are sensibly curled up around the meager, enchanted fires, trying desperately not to freeze solid. Meanwhile, we’re out here, miles from the protective warm barrier, throwing rocks like two bored children who wandered away from a very cold daycare center.Valen launches one rock across the valley floor. It cuts through the frigid air so fast it audibly breaks the sound barrier, blasting out a tiny sonic boom that cracks and echoes violently off the towering mountain walls. I swear the compacted snow actually trembles beneath my boots from the force.I snort loudly and drop the rock I’m holding back into the snow. “Okay, you win. Again, and decisively. I think we’ve firmly established that I throw like someone who had the m
