"Victor..." Caelum choked out, his voice laced with rare, uncharacteristic horror. His grip on Victor’s collar loosened for a fraction of a second. "You... died in the fire at Peak Nine.""I survived!" Victor roared, his face contorting into a grotesque, manic sneer. "While Father hid you away in the Citadel and groomed you to be his precious heir, I was left to rot in the silver mines! I forged a pact with the Void Covenant to rebuild my broken body!"Victor didn't miss the opening. Caelum was stunned by the revelation. Victor raised his left hand, and a Hidden Void Dagger appeared, hidden under his sleeve.STAB!Victor plunged the dark, purple-glowing blade deep into Caelum’s shoulder!"Caelum!" Lyra screamed from the battlements.Caelum let out a roar of pain as the dark curse-energy erupted inside his wound, paralyzing his shoulder muscles and forcing him down onto one knee in the snow.Victor stood over his younger brother, laughing hysterically as dark void magic flared back to

The snow in the valley didn't melt—it turned to crimson slush beneath the crushing weight of Alpha Caelum Vance’s unleashed aura.Standing alone in the crater where Lyra had vanished, Caelum’s breathing came in slow, terrifying rasps. His shadow magic flared out in a sixty-foot radius, turning into writhing, black tentacles that snapped heavy siege ladders and crushed stone walls like dry twigs.Thirty yards away, Victor Vance pulled his broken body out of the snow, coughing up black blood. He clutched the shattered remnants of the Void Mirror of the Damned, a wicked, triumphant smirk on his charred face."She’s gone, little brother," Victor wheezed, his grey-gold eyes gleaming with sadistic delight. "The Void Realm has no bottom. Its shadowy dark mana will consume her divine solar core within the hour. You've lost your queen!"Caelum didn't speak. He didn't growl.He slowly turned his head toward Victor. His silver-and-gold eyes were gone—replaced entirely by a void-black, feral empt

Caelum closed the space between them in two long, earth-shattering strides.He grabbed Lyra by the waist, lifting her effortlessly off her feet and crushing her against his broad, armoured chest. His large, trembling hands cupped the back of her head, pulling her face into the crook of his neck as he buried his face in her hair, inhaling her sweet, cinnamon-and-honey scent like a dying man taking his first breath of oxygen."I have you," Caelum growled against her skin, his voice vibrating deep inside her chest. "I have you, my Queen... I'm never letting you out of my sight again."Lyra’s arms wrapped tightly around his neck, her face buried into his warm, blood-stained shoulder as soft tears of relief spilled onto his collar."You came for me," Lyra sobbed, laughing through her tears as his familiar, possessive Alpha heat washed away the freezing cold of the Void Realm. "You absolute idiot... you jumped into another dimension for me!""I would burn every dimension in existence to get

In the direction of the equatorial dead zone known as Gloomwater Bay, the black royal stealth gunship flew south at supersonic speeds through the clouds that were tormented by storms. Twenty elite Obsidian Ridge shocktroopers were examining their shadow-forged weapons in the darkened troop bay as red tactical lights flooded over them. There was a heavy hush in the room. Within the cabin, Caelum was located in the front, behind Lyra. As they gazed out the reinforced viewscreen at the churning black ocean below, his massive chest was pressed against her back, and his large warm hands were placed on her waist. He was possessive. In the past thirty-six hours, you have not slept at all. His thumb made soothing, rhythmic circles across her hip bone as Caelum gently rumbled into the crook of her neck. These circles were comforting and rhythmic. His odour, which was dark and masculine and consisted of cedar, storm-ozone, and leather, encircled her like an impenetrable wall.While Lyra's fi

Before Lyra or Caelum could move, the subterranean cavern shook violently!CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!Massive titanium gates slammed shut over every aqueduct exit, locking them in the underground dungeon.The thousands of crimson runes on the cavern walls detonated with violent dark magic! Four massive pillars of blood-red energy shot out from the stone, wrapping tightly around Caelum’s chest, arms, and legs.BOOM!The impact drove the towering Alpha King down onto one knee, the stone floor shattering beneath his boots under the immense gravitational pressure."Caelum!" Lyra cried out, reaching for him."Stay back, Lyra!" Caelum growled through gritted teeth. His muscles bulged against the crimson light-chains as his shadow aura fought furiously against the dark-silver suppression.Heavy, splashing footsteps echoed from the elevated shadow balcony above the pit.A nine-foot-tall, colossal warlord stepped into the dim torchlight. His skin was grey and scaled like a deep-sea leviathan, his sh
