Orian's povI had the loveliest of dreams.One in which Amara loved me and I let her love me.I didn't want to force my eyes open as I was enwrapped in the blissful reverie of the dream, the state in which I was presently was one of unattained bliss as the images of what had happened tainted my memories.I moved against the bed, my hand reaching out instinctively to draw the person next to me closer, and as bare skin met soft bare skin igniting a fire of remembrance against us, I noticed that I was naked, we were naked with what felt like a single blanket covering us up.I opened my eyes to look down so as I confirm what I felt and it was true.We were bare, entangled together within the sheets and the most beautiful and most noticeable contrast that I had ever seen came to play before my eyes. Amara's skin, so translucent and ever appealing was illuminated by the glow of the moonlight reminding me of why I had picked her nickname for her, lunny svet.moy malen'kiy

Amara's pov I remember everything.These words rang through my brain as I snapped my eyes open, willing myself to pull away from the terrifying nightmare that had me in its claws pining me away from reality.I lifted myself from the bed, sitting upright with my fingers holding at my throat as I tried to steady my breathing and I instantly noticed that I was alone.Orian wasn't beside me.I tried to call out his name but my voice felt hoarse and I was too weakened from the aftermath of the dream to muster the strength to call out for him knowing that he'd be around somewhere.I instinctively reached for the bottle of water by the bedside and grabbed at it, popping open the cover before turning it over and taking big terrifying gulps to soothe the thirst in my throat after that, I got to the strawberries, eating them greedily with my heart warming at how thoughtful Orian was to place them there for me and as I sat there eating, I remembered it all, my dream, my forgotten reality.

Orian's pov There was an unwavering eerie feeling that settled within me the moment I entered Avalon, this hunch was something I could say emanated from the air of gloom settling above the kingdom ridding it of its light just as it had rid me of the glee I felt when I was on my way here.Something was wrong.I just knew it.And I had begun to imagine that the message Nexus had passed across about me returning home soon had very little thing to do with Amara and my family missing me and everything to do with a tragedy that I couldn't quite figure out what it could be. I didn't give much thought to it, I clutched onto my bag, and my other hand held another package that bore gifts for Amara.I couldn't go on a journey without picking up everything that I saw would fit her and as I walked my way towards the castle, I focused on the glee of my journey being successful and not on the in-depth feeling of dread settling in my belly. The journey had

Orian's pov"Your majesty." A hand shook my shoulder with much force as the voice called out and I jerked raising my head to see Emery standing before me with a look of worry in her eyes, "Ah, I was worried when you weren't replying for a while...""Emery." I got up from the floor and brushed my hands on my pants, "Is Amara well? Is she alright?"She gave me a sad look and took in a deep sigh before taking the seat next to us. Her hands cradled her head as she looked like she was in deep thought, "You should never have brought her here, your majesty.""You think I do not know that ma?" I whispered sitting next to her expecting the worst with the emotions she relayed, "Please tell me my wife is well?"She turned her head looking at me with her eyes glossy with tears and I blinked keeping mine back bracing myself for what was to come, "It worked." As I heard those two words, relief that I had never known washed through me and I let out a great sigh Falling back agai

Amara's povHome is near...I could feel it the instant I stepped foot in our territory and nostalgia hit me, overwhelming my senses at the fact that I was finally near home.I looked above to see the tall walls of our royal territory in view with the snowflakes gathering dusting it and the moon casting on it, its glow.I had missed the view for a while.Ro and Mila, the two soldiers with me were also stricken with awe as we approached and I was glad that we got to my territory safely unnoticed as they were vampires because if we had been noticed while passing through other wolve packs to get to ours, it wouldn't have been pretty.I pulled down the hood of my cape and stroked my fingers on my scalp, a bitter feeling lodging in my throat at my lost hair and even though I knew that I could grow it back, I still missed it.I wanted to be recognizable the moment we approached the borders so the wolves on patrol wouldn't have to interrogate us and with my signal, we continued on our journe

Amara's povIt was a chilly winter morning with the sun barely out and Cora decided that it was perfect for a run after pleading with our parents they let us go ahead knowing that I had been waiting for a while to feel Cora again and she came right the next day after the night that I had broken the news of what had transpired while I was with Orian.It took a while for me to able to shift and after a few more days, the healer pronounced us fit enough.My wounds had healed up more and I could feel very tiny strands of hair whenever I brushed my hand over my head and being werewolves meant that we'd grow at a triple rate, way faster than humans.I smiled in contentment as Cora trodded along the banks of the frozen lake, she yelped happily as her paws met with the soft cold feel of the snow and she asked if it didn't feel so wonderful to be back home and we both agreed despite us knowing that we yearned for Orian.He will be alright right? I asked Cora as she sat at the banks and stared

Orian's pov It was no surprise that the rumors of Amara being missing from prison went around Avalon because the soldiers knew that I never brought her back and while grieving the sudden death of Penelope-Iris, I nursed how I felt regarding my wife being far away, dealt with the blow of Ares's death and tried to find Hector.While all these went on, protests began, the people showed up daily that I give justice to Ares and my excuses weren't cutting it anymore and Nexus briefed me on what was happening with the soldiers.The Kingdom had divided in half.Most of the vampires and gryphons were obviously on Hector's side as I knew that he must have been doing underground work of poisoning their minds even before our issues blew up and the rest vampires, demons, and the entirety of the Gorgons due to Octavia's loyalty were on my side.And fingers pointed at me regarding the death of the elders and I took that to mean that I'd wake up someday to find that my head was w

Orian's povSeventeen letters.Four words.A question causing turmoil,And my world came crashing down.I closed my eyes willing the imagery before me to float away but that incessant laughter and scent were all too prominent showing me that she was here and it was all real.I knew Hector was evil, evil enough to do anything that would get him powers but this was beyond me.I could hear the distant shouts of the soldiers as well as the laughter, these sounds clashing together in my head and vibrating through my hearing as my heart beat faster and blood rushed in my ears,Nothing would have prepared me for this moment.Amara...My peace, she was the only person I could think of right now and she wasn't here. She wasn't here to calm me from Helena and it made me realize that I had never really healed.I was foolish to think that I had a chance at healing, seeing her here made me know that I was far from that as my eyes were still closed and I crouched on the ground trembling in fear.It

Orian's povI broke off my reverie with a fatal blow landing to my head creating a dense pounding feel and a hook tearing across my neck worsening my already prolonged bleeding."Wake up and fight!" Hector groaned above me, his tone was harsh and commanding "Fucking weakling!""Leave him to me!" Helena came wanting to intervene but a disgruntled groan came from Hector at her words, "I need his heart.""No." Hector disagreed, "You robbed me of the chance of killing Akanther, I get to honor of killing this one."Amara' was right...Blood pounded in my ears and Hector dragged me to my feet again with my hands weakly clutching at my sword as I processed his words.I had an inkling that my whole life had been a lie but having it confirmed at the point of death was much much worse."Shocked?" He laughed out loud and I summoned strength gripping harder at my sword, "The weakling was on my way to the throne and now you are..."I didn't say a word, my response was me raising my sword against h

Orian's pov Hector writhed on the ground, rubbing against the snow, he groaned loud in pain from being hit against the rocks with his palms rubbing across the affected areas of his body as he struggled to get to his feet.I crossed my arm around me, pulling out the knives carefully, wincing as the blade sliced against my flesh as I pulled them out.And by the time I was done, Hector was already advancing towards me and I got to my feet ready to attack.I looked around for any possible thing that could assist me as I had lost my sword and I saw that it had been dropped next to me earlier on and I picked it up.It was useless trying to stall in fighting and not going in to kill him immediately.He had made me realize that my whole life was a lie and he confessed his atrocities which only fueled my anger and what I wanted desperately was to see his head rolling beneath my feet."Give up, you can't fight in this bloodied state!" Hector yelled at me as I weilded my swor
