All Chapters of MOONVEIL ACADEMY, HEIRESS OF THE FORGOTTEN SOULS KINGDOM: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Malacar’s POVKing Abrax stood his ground.Cardona had no choice but to postpone the trials and deal with his unhinged daughter.I rushed to Zaria’s side. What were you thinking? I took her in my arms. We will talk about this later. The king wants a word with you.We walked into my office as King Abrax was giving commands to the demons behind him.Zaria, Malacar, after the trials and exams are over, I understand it will be a vacation? I nodded. Good, you’ll be my guests then.Your Majesty, we are having difficulty in the academy…His hand slammed onto my desk. Zaria got startled. You will not defy me, Malacar.I don’t understand why that will be a problem? Zaria asked.Because our factions never attended the academy after the war…I sighed. Things changed…They will not dare to do anything. Besides, I’m meeting the council and getting my seat back at the table, he said.Now, both of you have lunch with me. I want to hear everything about you, Zaria. By the way, I knew you’d defeat her;

Zaria’s POVThe pain hit me first, then I saw them as the magic whip hit them and they turned to dust. I screamed.Nooooo. I opened the door and bolted outside. I fell to the floor; the surge of anger was rising inside me, and Sia was telling me to give her a command. Everything else blurred. I stood up and walked into the academy. I saw the students running away from me. I looked behind to see the three underworld beasts following me.I stopped at Astrid's door and pushed it open. She screamed when she saw me. I gestured, and one of the beasts got her throat.Now, I said, walking slowly towards her, one word from me and he’ll crush you, which would be fair since you killed the enslaved strigou and underworld beasts. Astrid shook her head, her eyes terrified.Speak, I shouted. The beast drooled black, slimy saliva that was dripping on her.I didn’t do it…Zaria…Zaria…someone was calling my name. I turned to see Malacar; he came closer.“ Look at me. Tell him to back off," he whispered

Zaria’s POVHurry up; he is coming downstairs any minute….Zaria, he called from upstairs, have you seen my tie the one with blue lines?Yes, come down. I have it, I shouted back. He thinks we’re going to dinner. I heard him descending the stairs and turned the corner. Stood there frozen as they screamed surprise.The large living room and dining room were decorated, not extravagant, just a little. He walked to me and kissed my forehead.My love, you really surprised me. Then he turned to all and thanked them for coming. Enjoy yourselves.The music started loud. And Valerian and Noctis came to my side.Master Malacar, Valerian teased him, may we ask how old?Ha, funny, Valerian, he leaned in. Between you and me, I see it as experience; you still have a lot to learn.Got it, he chuckled. Then he noticed the stone. You found the Goddess stone? He asked, shocked.No, Zaria did; it's her gift to me.They both looked at me. What?How long did it take you to find it? Noctis askedA month. I

Zaria’s POVRune walked back into the living room, and instinctively I reached for Malacar’s hand. He sat across from me.Zaria, I understand this is all new for you, and I’m a patient man. That feather is my mark.I touched it softly, and it started to glow as I felt the bond. Then I gasped.Even if you reject me, I will not leave you; I am your familiar. I want you to know that you have options. But as a mate, my bond with you makes us very powerful.Malacar was listening; he didn’t interrupt him or protest.He loves you too much, Rune said; that’s why he didn’t reject me. Yeah, he has a say-so.I don’t understand what you want…from me…Want from you? Nothing, I am your mate just like Malacar. I will protect you, satisfy you, whatever you ask of me.I felt my face burning. Malacar threw Rune an angry look.What? I told her the truth, nothing more, nothing less.How… is this … supposed to work? I have a mate…Now you have two, he said, chuckling. But first, I would like to spend more

Abrax’s POVZaria was an amazing student, strong like her mother. I think maybe stronger than her. I sat in my chair looking around the table at the faces that once betrayed me. Did I seek vengeance? No, I wanted the truth, and eventually, it will all surface. I have a feeling that will be soon.Cardona sat down. Let’s begin, he said. Yesterday, a student tried to assassinate another student. I think she should be expelled.I laughed loudly. Have you watched the trials, Cardona?No, I have not; I’ve been busy…Then how do you already expel her when she merely defended herself? I was there and watched the whole thing unravel. Please tell me, King Balvar, you’re there, Valkrie? Turning to themKing Abrax is right. The man from your faction attempted to kill Zaria.Ridiculous, Cardona said. What are his reasons?Let’s bring him inside, shouldn’t we? I demanded.The doors opened, and the warlock walked inside. State your name, someone asked.Waz Xavier.Now explain yourself. Why did you u
