Are we all in agreement that ghosts weren’t on today’s forecast?” No one answered. Because the arm kept rising. A shoulder emerged—clad in ancient armor, plates of bone-like metal stitched with dark seams that glowed faintly from within. Frost clung to its edges like dust from a tomb.

Women from the laundry quarters held their children by the hand, pointing toward the empty, silt-covered fountains with expressions of quiet awe. As Eryx and I ascended the wide marble stairs, the crowd began to press closer to the stone balustrades. I didn't wear the royal cloak of Nighthaven. I wore the same simple, dark training trousers and the boiled leather armor from the trial, the silver-steel reinforcements scratched and dull from the gravel of the peaks. I wanted them to see the girl who had bled on the stone. I wanted them to see that the Queen of Nighthaven didn't need gold trim to make the mountain listen.

“This is from the prisoners. One of them said they overheard Alpha Knight mention a ‘last card.’ We don’t know what it means, but if he’s holding back something even worse—” “Then I’ll face it head-on,” I said, taking the paper and tucking it into my belt. “Thank you.” I moved past her, stepping into my tent. The silence inside hit me like a wave. I stripped out of my heavier armour and changed into a fitted, dark outfit. I wore no metal and no reflective surfaces, because what I needed was speed, not protection—stealth, not dominance.I reached for the sheath at my bedside—but stopped. No. I couldn’t bring weapons.

You just point them at the enemy and hope they do enough damage before they drop. ​Five thousand wolves marched out of the courtyard. The only sound was the heavy, rhythmic crunch of combat boots packing down the frozen dirt, and the harsh, ragged breathing of terrified soldiers trying to keep their shit together. ​I was running on absolute fumes. ​I’d spent the last hour of the night strapping myself into my tactical armor, pulling the heavy boiled leather and steel plates as tight as they would go over that oversized wool sweater. I had to hide it. I couldn't let the Vanguard see the jagged, black veins of the King’s curse crawling up the sides of my neck.

Noah asked. "Oh, right. They are just small insects,” said Azura. Lux, Azura, and Noah started to attack the hordes of their enemies. The enemies attacked them with firearms, while they only used their bare hands. Their agility makes the enemies unable to hit them. After that, Team Blue Starlight completed their task successfully and cleared all of their enemies. "What is this? Has their leader run away?” confused Azura. He felt odd about all of this. After that, Azura and Noah took the children one by one with them on the helicopter. Finally, left someone a little girl, she will be brought together with Lux. Azura and Noah were back in the helicopter. They told Lux ​​to go up immediately.

Chapter 19 I groaned in horror when I opened my eyes and was attacked with a killer headache when morning arrived. I was alone in Gray's bed wearing only my bra and panties, although We didn't have any sex last night, the guit starts to creep in, I felt uncomfortable to be lying awake in Melissa's fiancee bed.

My first attempt at leaping through one of the many portals failed miserably. A tall, dark, and sneering Fae warrior cut across my path, a thick sword made from dark metal in his hands. The dark armor coating his chest and back was from the Night Court, but entirely different to what Ambrose's trusted men wore. There was no hesitation when he swung the sword, aiming for my neck. If I hadn't trained so hard, wearing myself ragged on those nights I couldn't sleep, my head would currently be rolling across the grass.

Aiden noted, dropping his tablet on the table while he put on his body armor. I spurned in the room until I had seen my jacket. I liked how it felt when I put it on, placing an only front body armor just in case of a sneak attack. “We will find out when we meet him on the battlefield,” I said as I stepped out to meet my men, who looked to have understood what was happening. They stood around me, bearing their Nightshade insignia with pride in front of them.

She said and walked towards the bed, she picked up the two long coats on it and walked back to Lily. “Here you go.” She muttered and handed one to Lily. “Where did you get them from?” Lily asked. “I brought them along.” Nora replied and she chuckled. “You came prepared.” “Yes.” Nora replied and put it on. “A quick question, why do we need coats?” Lily asked and Nora took hers from her and helped her put it on. “Axel would have instructed the guards to follow us to wherever we are going so we would lie about where we are heading to avoid the guards and also, our dresses are too revealing.” Nora explained and Lily nodded with a smile.

He stumbles and recovers fast. “Shit.” I don’t have any weapons or vanquishing potions. I’m going to have to blow this fucker up, and that means letting him get close. I dart away, moving under the bright energy ball. I steal a quick glance up and raise my hand, powering the ball until it’s so bright it’s almost blinding.
