Chapter 10 - FearAlora Most fae wouldn't show fear, not unless they were weak-minded. But my mother terrified me, and I couldn't help but feel nervous as I approached her throne room. No matter how many times I walked down this hall, it always felt like the walls were closing in on me.I knew my mother loved me; she showed it to me through worrying about my safety. Showing extreme kindness like hugs and affection would only put me at risk. So instead, she taught me how to fight, use my magic and hold myself accountable for my mistakes. It worked. I was the best thief around because I had mastered my magic. I had taken my punishments without argument. I had overcome most of my night terrors, but sometimes I wondered what it would have been like to show slight weakness. What it would have been like to get a hug when I cried instead of being locked away in one of her mental prisons for showing emotion.She always said it was for my own good, but sometimes I wondered if she was wrong.

Chapter 12 - MessageDamon I walked back into my office. Lir, Kier, Balthazar and now Drabek sat on my two lounge couches across from one another. Apollo stood, arms folded across his chest as he leaned against my desk. A grim expression on his face. He knew the truth about me now; his eyes, violet eyes, said it all. I quickly looked away from him, focusing my gaze on Drabek.I had only met the nightcrawler a few times before, but we hit off quickly. His snake-like eyes were always watching, calculating. He was always overly alert, as if preparing for an attack that could happen at any given moment. His visits were rare, but he made the most of them.He stayed for a week after my mother died, and just like the others, we clicked. Even though he mostly spent his time with Apollo, Nesrin, and the others. The five of them discussed things that had happened in the dark and fae realm. Things that even I still knew nothing about, but I understood that they went through something together,

Chapter 14 - MindgamesDamonWe stepped through the portal into the human realm. A guard greeted us as we entered. One of the wolves from the Bloodstone pack sat patiently beside him, waiting, only moving to stand as the last of us stepped through the portal. "They're expecting us," Lir stated, taking in the brown wolf before us. "It would appear so," Balthazar mused. "Balor must have informed them," I said."Which means we are heading towards some direction. Whether it's the right one or not is still up for debate." Apollo let out a laugh earning a glare from me. He shrugged his shoulders. "What? It's Balor. There is really no telling with him."He wasn't wrong. I turned my attention to the wolf in front of me, not bothering to give Apollo an answer. "We are here to see Balor," I said through the Link. "The Alpha isn't here, Prince Damon. But he has given us orders to get you ready before sending you to his headquarters in Vancouver." I let out an annoyed sigh. The others looked

Chapter 15 - CorneredAloraI let out a heavy sigh as the door closed behind Damon. Balor was still sitting in his chair, his eyes still focused on the door, but I could tell his mind was elsewhere. I turned from the screen, looking at Helga and Reyna. We had all remained silent, watching the screen, listening as Balor told his Damon snippets about what he knew. I couldn't figure out why Balor had been so quick to betray his brother, and the thought of that made doubt bloom in my chest. Balor lied so easily, so what was to say he hadn't done the same to me. Maybe Reyna wasn't even his mate, and it was all a setup to trap me. He already knew my name and who I was, so maybe he figured out what I was too. The whirlwind of thoughts shot sent a shiver down my spine as I eyed Reyna carefully. She smelt like him, but because of her dress, I couldn't see a mate mark, and he didn't have one because she was human. I swallowed hard, my mind reeling with all the possibilities of what could ha

Chapter 17 - Bargain DamonSomething in me snapped. Call it fear for my kingdom, fear of losing someone close to me again because of a stupid encounter, but I snapped. All I saw was read as I charged for Alora. She tried to move away from my grasp, but she was too slow. My hand wrapped around her throat, and in the next movement, she was pinned against a bookshelf. "Alora," The pixie screamed in horror. But I didn't pay her any mind as I turned all my focus to the pirate beneath my palm."I'm tired of your games. Tell me where the ring is, or so help me, I'll-" I snarled. Alora cut me off. Her chest pressed against mine, our breaths matching each other. Heavy and fast. A moment of panic filled her starlight eyes before she caught it."You'll what? Kill me. Lock me away in a tower and throw away the key." She scoffed, forcing a smile. The stars in her eyes seemed to twinkle pulling me in closer. She licked her lips, and my eyes fell to them for a moment—the overwhelming need to taste
