CHAPTER 171

CHAPTER 171NARRATOR The heavy door to the royal chamber finally opened on the morning of the fourth day.Dante stepped out first. His eyes were sharp and cold, the exhaustion from before completely gone. Behind him came Lucien, then Kade, and finally Rowan. All four of them moved with a new kind of power in their steps. Alastair was waiting in the corridor with Elara. The moment he saw them, he straightened.“You are out,” Alastair said. “Thank the gods. The capital is tearing itself apart.”Dante did not waste time with greetings.“Tell us everything,” he said. “Now.”Elara stepped forward. Her face was pale from lack of sleep.“Seraph unleashed a living nightmare across the entire capital. People are clawing out their own eyes because they see you three as monsters. They see you tearing their families apart. The guards are turning on each other. The lower districts have completely fallen into chaos. We have already lost too many people.”Lucien’s jaw tightened.She looked at Dant

CHAPTER 172

CHAPTER 172 LUCIEN The fields outside the capital were already soaked in blood by the time I arrived with my men. Seraph’s dark magic had torn open the old mass graves from the Lunar Accord Ball. Bodies that should have stayed buried were now walking again. Their skin was gray and rotting. Black veins crawled across their faces and arms. Some still wore the clothes they died in. Others had nothing left but bone and shadow. I raised my sword and shouted over the noise. “Form up! Do not let them reach the city walls! If they break through, everyone inside dies!” My elite guard moved into position around me. These were the best men I had. Men I had trained myself. Men who had fought beside me for years. The first wave hit us like a storm. The dead did not feel pain. They did not slow down when we cut off their arms or legs. They just kept coming. I drove my blade through the chest of one and ripped it upward, splitting the body in half. Another grabbed my arm. I smashed th

CHAPTER 173

CHAPTER 173ROWANThe next night, the attack came without warning.One moment the palace was quiet. The next, maids started collapsing in the corridors. Soldiers on the walls dropped where they stood. People who lived and worked on the palace grounds were falling like someone had cut their strings. Their eyes rolled back, and black veins spread across their skin in seconds.I was in the royal wing when it started. I felt it before I saw it — that same rotting, wrong feeling I had sensed before. Only this time it was everywhere.“Something is wrong,” I said out loud to the empty room. My voice sounded strange even to me. “This is not normal. This is him.”I ran into the hallway. Two maids were on the floor, twitching. One of them looked up at me with completely black eyes.“They are coming for you,” she rasped in a voice that was not hers. “The kings cannot protect you. They will watch you die.”I stepped back. My heart was hammering.“Get out of her,” I said. “Whatever you are, leave

CHAPTER 174

CHAPTER 174DANTEThe final assault came at dusk.Seraph did not send his cultists this time. He came by himself.He walked through the front gates of the palace like he owned them, cloaked in a twisted version of Rowan’s golden light. But where Rowan’s power burned clean and bright, Seraph’s version was corrupted, black fire wrapped in false gold. It moved like living shadows around his body, and every step he took left scorched footprints on the stone.I met him on the grand staircase.Lucien and Kade were already fighting below with what remained of our forces. Rowan stood a few steps behind me, his own golden wings flickering in and out as he tried to hold the line. I could feel the strain on our bond. Seraph’s magic was pressing against it, trying to tear the connection between the four of us apart.Seraph stopped halfway up the stairs and smiled at me.“King Dante,” he said, voice layered with too many tones at once. “You finally came out to play. I was beginning to think you wo

CHAPTER 175

CHAPTER 175KADEAfter what Seraph said, I ran immediately.“Evacuate the children,” I told the guards standing in front of me. “Every single one. The ones from the orphan houses, the servant quarters. Get them out through the eastern tunnels. Now.”He nodded once and ran.I stayed behind with whatever men I could spare. It was not enough. I moved through the chaos with my sword in hand, cutting down anything that moved with black veins. My men followed close behind me.“Hold this corridor!” I shouted. A young guard beside me was breathing hard.Another guard came running from the opposite direction, covered in blood.“King Kade! The eastern tunnel is clear! The first group of children has already gone through!”I nodded, wiping sweat from my eyes.“Good. Keep sending them. Do not stop until every last one is out.”The guard hesitated.“Your Majesty, you are bleeding.”“I am aware,” I said. “Keep moving.”I turned back to the fight. The air was thick with the smell of blood and burn

CHAPTER 176

CHAPTER 176LUCIENSeraph had disappeared during fighting and I had found him first before Dante.The throne room was a fucking slaughterhouse.Blood covered the floor in thick, dark pools. Bodies of loyal guards and servants were scattered everywhere. Some were still twitching as the last of Seraph’s magic tried to claim them. The air smelled like death and burnt shadow.Seraph stood in front of the throne like he already owned it. That twisted black-gold fire still clung to his body, but it was flickering now. He looked tired. Good. I wanted him exhausted when I killed him.I stepped over a dead guard and walked straight toward him, both blades drawn.“Seraph.”He turned slowly, that same smug smile on his face.“Lucien.”I didn’t waste time with more words.I attacked.Our blades met in a shower of sparks. The sound echoed through the empty throne room. Seraph was fast, but I was faster. I drove him back with brutal, heavy strikes, forcing him away from the throne.“You should have

CHAPTER 177

CHAPTER 177NARRATOR Rowan stood in the corridor outside the throne room, staring at Lucien’s ruined face. Blood still poured from the empty socket where his eye had been. The rage that had been simmering inside Rowan for days finally snapped.He stepped forward without a word and placed both hands on either side of Lucien’s face. Golden light flared from his palms, bright and warm. Lucien sucked in a sharp breath as the wound began to close. Flesh knit together. The bleeding stopped. Within seconds, the injury was gone, and the eye returned.“Rowan…”Rowan’s eyes were glowing brighter than they ever had before. When he spoke, his voice carried an ancient weight.“He doesn’t get to take anything else from us.”He turned and walked away from the throne room. The golden wings of light that had appeared earlier now burned steadily at his back. Every step he took left faint glowing footprints on the stone floor.He could feel Seraph’s essence. It was fleeing toward the old ruins outside

EPILOGUE

EPILOGUEThe sun was warm on the garden that afternoon. Two boys, seven and five, ran in circles around the old oak tree, laughing so loudly that the birds flew away in protest. Their names were Elias and Theo, and they had inherited their fathers’ stubbornness and their mother’s golden eyes.Rowan sat on the stone bench beneath the tree, one hand resting on the gentle swell of his stomach. He was pregnant again — their third child. This one had been a surprise, but a welcome one. He watched his sons play with a small, tired smile on his face.“Elias! Theo!” Rowan called out, his voice carrying across the garden. “Do not climb that high! Your fathers will have a heart attack if you fall.”Elias paused halfway up the lowest branch, looking guilty. “But Papa, I can reach the big branch! Theo cannot because he is smaller!”Theo puffed up his chest. “I can too! Watch me!”Rowan sighed, rubbing his belly. “Both of you, down. Now. I mean it.”Dante stood a few feet away, arms crossed, watch

AUTHOR'S NOTE

HIS BODYGUARD (BOOK TWO)CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONEI slammed the car door harder than I needed to the second we pulled up to the estate. The event had drained every last drop of patience I had left. Cameras, fake smiles, people who used to talk shit about me now pretending we were old friends — I was over it.All I wanted was a shower, a drink, and to be left the fuck alone.Rafael, of course, was right on my heels like always.“Slow down,” he said, voice low and steady in that irritating way of his. “You’re making yourself an easy target.”I spun around on the gravel, heat already crawling up my neck.“What the fuck, bro? I’m not a child. Stop acting like I’m going to trip and break my neck.”Rafael didn’t even flinch. He just stepped in closer, his broad body cutting off my path to the door. The man was built like he was carved from stone, and right now he was using every inch of that size to box me in.“You’re not a child,” he said quietly. His eyes dragged over my face, slow and
