Can You Help Him?

Traci’s POV I stood in the center of the arena with my hands still raised, every muscle in my body trembling from the power that had poured through me. The weight of it hadn’t disappeared when I lowered my arms. It still buzzed beneath my skin, racing through my veins. Slowly, I let my hands fall to my sides. Nothing changed. Thousands of enemies remained exactly where they were. Every single one of them was still on their knees. Not one dared to stand. Not one even attempted to fight whatever invisible force held them in place. A grin tugged at my lips despite the exhaustion pulling at me. “I told you it would work,” Aurora said proudly before laughing. “Bow down, big boys.” A snort escaped me. “You’ve been waiting to say that, haven’t you?” “For centuries,” she replied without the slightest bit of shame. She wasn’t wrong. When the first wave of enemies poured into the arena, I honestly believed we were finished. They came from every direction until I couldn’t even see the ar

Raiden’s POV The moment Kael sucked in that first desperate breath, relief crashed through me so hard my knees nearly gave out. He was alive. Against every law of nature any of us had ever known, Traci had reached into death itself and pulled him back. That miracle came with a dangerous price. The three of us were still glowing. Silver light pulsed beneath our skin, weaving between us like invisible threads only magic could create. Our life-bond marks burned against our necks, each pulse perfectly synchronized with the others. We no longer looked like three people standing together. We looked like one source of living power. Every eye inside the arena remained fixed on us. Friends. Enemies. Guests. Warriors. No one looked away. They had just watched Traci force an entire army onto its knees before bringing Kael back to life. If word spread, and there wasn’t a chance it wouldn’t, everything had changed. We couldn’t stay here much longer. “Hey, Bright Eyes.” I stepped beside her an

Another Plan?

Maddox’s POV The laptop slammed into the stone wall hard enough to shatter the screen. Plastic exploded across the office. The monitor split down the center before crashing onto the floor in a smoking pile of broken pieces. I stood there breathing slowly through my nose, my hands curled into fists so tightly my fingernails dug into my palms. Every carefully laid plan had collapsed right in front of me. For one glorious stretch of time, everything had gone exactly as intended. My men breached the outer defenses. Panic spread through the arena. Explosions distracted their warriors while confusion swept through the crowd. Their security had fractured, and for a few precious minutes the entire kingdom scrambled to regain control. Victory had been within reach. Then Traci stepped into that damn ring. Everything changed. The men assigned to seize her never even came close. Hell, they didn’t make it inside the ring before they either were flown into the air and fucking killed or were fo

Facing Many

Unknown POV I leaned back in the oversized leather chair and watched the security monitor with quiet amusement. The room remained dim except for the glow pouring from the wall of screens. Every camera fed into the same control center, giving us a view of nearly every location worth watching. Right now, only one screen mattered. Maddox. A slow smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. “Very entertaining, don’t you think?” My brother folded his arms across his chest before letting out a laugh. “I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting the laptop.” Neither was I. A chuckle escaped me. “I think that was my favorite part.” The image replayed in my mind as the expensive computer slammed into the wall before exploding into a pile of broken plastic and shattered glass. “He really committed to that tantrum.” My brother laughed harder. “I almost feel sorry for whoever has to clean that mess up.” “Almost.” The amusement lingered as I looked down. Darci rested comfortably against my chest with a blan
