IRIS.“If a female dark fae loves you, they glow when your seed enters their body. Brigetta claims she likes you, and I wonder if you’re finally the one who would make her glow. That fae falls in love as many times as if she’s just picking up wild flowers…”Meridian was still talking, but my mind was stuck on the part where she talked about the glow. I felt my face burn as Draco looked at me. I shouldn’t be embarrassed, as before this, I was very vocal about how I felt for him. But without his memory and him remembering he was with Felicity, I suddenly felt it—taking me back to the time when he brought me home. I thought Felicity was still living in his home, and yet I couldn’t help falling and lusting for him. “Princess Diallica?” Meridian’s voice snapped me from my thoughts, and my head snapped up to look at her. “Hail to the Imperial Faes! You are beautiful. Much more beautiful than your mother!” She exclaimed.“My name is Iris…” I said as I met her gaze, ignoring the part where

DRACO. I held Iris’ hand as we walked down the stairs to the basement of Meridian’s house. I was preparing myself for the worst, but after a few minutes of staying there and with her busy scanning a book while talking with Iris, my chest began to calm down. But I still kept my guard up. I listened as Meridian taught her about manas and energies and where she could channel them. Then, she began the crash course on chants and magic. While Iris listened and watched intently as Meridian performed simple magic before her, I grabbed the piece of paper and pen that I saw nearby and wrote down what I heard and observed.I didn’t say Iris was dumb or that she wouldn’t remember what Meridian was teaching her, but with the surprised expression on her face, I wasn’t even sure if everything had sunk in. So I wanted to have a list of the chants and the movements Meridian was making, in case Iris needed them later. This was actually how I learned things. While my father kept telling me I should

DRACO.Iris nodded at me, her eyes full of worry and I knew she wanted us to hurry. I ignored the pain shooting in my arm as I pushed my body off the ground. I grabbed her hand and placed her behind me as we walked further, following the direction that Meridian gave us until we saw the old double oak door.That was the entrance to the Dark Fae’s palace. Iris walked ahead of me without removing her hand from my hold. Together, we reached the door that bore a symbol that looked like a leaf with five points pointing upward.Iris placed her hand on it and it didn’t take long before it glowed, and the door opened. It was dark, and ice-like smoke was coming out from the inside. Meridian had told us about this, so I knew it was useless to try to see what was inside, since nothing could really be seen. So instead, I snaked an arm around Iris’ waist and reminded her that we would step inside at the same time.“On three,” I said. After she nodded, I began counting. “One, two… three.”We steppe

Continuation of KING LEORIC’S POV from the Orebrus.I had no idea how long I fought them alongside my Raiders and my faes. I had no idea how many of my species had died trying to save our home. All I knew was that this was the end of it. With my aura dwindling and the forest covering my power and my body as I slumped on the earth, the Guardians were not able to track me this time. I could no longer feel them. They had left the Wicker Forest—burning and on the brink of destruction.And it was only a matter of time before my soul left my body. I was dying, but I didn’t want to use any power. The little that was left of me, I was saving so I could perform the last thing I needed to do. But I had no idea how long I could hold on. A sparkle came out before Eox appeared in front of me. “King Leoric.”“Where is she?” I asked, holding on to my consciousness, with one hand stopping the blood oozing from my heart. “They took her in…”“When she gives birth, take her and Princess Diallica ba

FLASHBACK—3 YEARS AGOIRIS’ MEMORY shown to Draco. Any paragraph that begins with ** is Draco's personal POV as he witnessed Iris memory.---------The wind sent a chill down my spine, so I gripped my hand-me-down coat tighter around my body. Walking on a cold night in thin fabric wasn't how I planned to celebrate my eighteenth birthday, but, as always, I didn’t have a choice. “Can you walk faster? I’m not the one who’s supposed to wait for you…” Felicity snapped at me as she walked with big strides. She wanted to attend the festival because her favorite musicians would be playing, and there would be big names in attendance. She was hoping one of them would notice her. She was supposed to attend with her mother, who was my stepmother. But Chriselda slipped and ended up with a swollen ankle, so I was a last-minute replacement.“Felicity, I’m cold,” I mumbled. I didn’t have gloves, and the beanie I wore was too small and couldn’t cover my ears. “Then tell your wolf to warm you up.” S
