Darius' POV The fire in the study burned low, casting a restless orange glow across the shelves. I leaned back in my chair, the weight of what I was about to do heavy on my shoulders, and heavier still with the silence pressing between the three of us. As I took in the guests I'd invited today, I couldn't help but feel my stomach churn. I didn't want to admit it, but the thought that I was making a big mistake kept on echoing loudly in my head. It tore at my sides and at every bit of my reasoning that I was making the wrong decision, but I couldnt back out now. Not when everything had already been out into place and all that was needed was to act on it. Rhian stood rigid by the window, his jaw tight, and his eyes fixed on the dark beyond the glass as though he could anchor himself to it. Kael on the other hand, lounged across from me, one leg folded over the other, his expression calm, even pleasant, too pleasant if you asked me. “Darius.” Rhian was the first to speak, as expec

Darius' POV I sat in my study longer than I should have, the candle burning low, its flame dancing against the glass of wine I hadn’t touched. To anyone else, I looked calm, occupied with the last of my notes before leaving for the supposed trip. But inside, my chest was a storm, tearing to rip me apart if I didn't do anything to calm the fuck down. Rhian’s words hadn’t left me. His vow, I’ll catch him, had gnawed at me like a splinter under the skin. And Kael’s hand brushing over Kiara’s as if he had a right to her, that image kept rising behind my eyes. I hated to admit it, but Rhian's anger did one thing to me. I genuinely felt like I wasn't doing enough, or probably, there was something else I just couldn't see and it hurt because this was Kiara we were talking about here. .She meant a lot to me, so why couldn't I see what the fuck rhian was seeing? The question plagued me for far longer than I would have liked that was my I came up with the idea that I did. I lied. There w

Darius' POV The room was a storm, and that was me being fucking gentle with my description. For the next couple of seconds, or minutes, I wasn't sure I could hear anything else past the doctor's last words. They echoed all around me, so much I felt they would be imprinted into my brain by now, but that did nothing to lessen the blow the words had on me. She's dying. She's dying. She's dying. I couldn't believe it. My ears had caught on to it alright, but my brain, my mind and my soul was yet to believe it. I couldn't believe it. No, scratch that, I didn't want to. I'd rather believe that the moon goddess was only a myth, rather than believe that Kiara was slowly leaving this world. The sharp smell of iron and antiseptic clashed with the acrid burn of the bad news had brought. It was probably just me exaggerating, but it still clung to my clothes. From the corner of my eyes, I caught Kiara’s body convulsing against the sheets. Her skin was clammy,her lips pale, and my eyes alm

Darius' POV The scent of blood clung to me, but this time, I didn't bother try to get rid of it. It smelled too much of Iron and finality, and I couldn't help but feel like that meant anything. The stench of blood was coming from me though, whether or not it was mine. My hands were still streaked with it, and no matter how tightly I flexed them at my sides, I couldn’t escape the memory of Kael’s last breath.A small part of me had thought it would be fulfilling to end the life of the man who'd almost killed Kiara, but it was sub par at best. This was probably crazy, but best believe that if I had the chance to bring Kael back to life again, just so I could kill him over and over, then best believe I would do it, without even blinking or feeling the least bit remorseful.I pressed my eyes shut for a little while, a d my brain must have taken that as a sign to replay the events that led to this moment. I wasn't complaining though. I needed a little breather myself. I wasn't sure whic

Darius' POV A small part of me had thought that the movement we'd heard earlier would stop once we'd gotten to the top, but apparently, I couldn't be any more wrong. If anything, the whispers seemed to have increased, and I just knew that the servants scurrying around and about, weren't doing that because they had urgent work to attend to. They were scared, and scared subjects weren't exactly the best to deal with. “What the hell is going on here?” It was more of a whisper, but apparently, as good number of the restless servants heard it, because they froze. It didn't last too long though, because they tried to pretend like they were going on with their normal day to day activities afterwards. “You said it yourself.” Alric let up beside me. He didn't seem the least bit fazed about it, like he was expecting it, and almost happy about it. “Rumors spread.’ “Great.” The word had barely slid past my lips before a guard rushed up to me. “Alpha Darius.” He was panting, and he bowed
