Caelus X Blade Novels & Stories

Suddenly, a sharp pain jots my shoulder blade with hard aches, enough to string me back with a periodic moan, my gaze fixes in Caelum, biting on my shoulder blade. “Come for me,” he whispers. “Soak my fingers little Vixen.” That sends actual shivers to my body, my core tightens unplanned around his fingers. He groans, rubbing my clit, and that's it, I whimper, eyes rolling back and I clamp his fingers, waiting until he takes them out. Caelum slips his fingers into my mouth. “That wasn't so hard, was it?” Yes it was, Caelum. You have no idea just how hard it was to do that just now but sure, as long as it pleases you. For now.

I would never back away from my destiny. I waited until he swooped in low and threw a bola around his leg-my aim true, my goal to kill him within my grasp. My landing on his back was perfect. I could feel his soft scales beneath me. That is until I thrust my blade as hard as I could between those scales. I forfeited my life to save my sisters in white. His damned scales hardened when my blade met his body and the blade slid off. Pain lanced through my arm and into my shoulder. I struck again in fury. No matter how many times I tried, he remained unscathed. No dragon's blood to carry into death.

I heard Deucalion’s voice ask from behind me. Just as I turned to answer him, all the torches, candle stands, and chandeliers in the hall went out leaving us in total darkness. I tried to navigate my way around the darkness for a few seconds but before I could make it to Valerian, I felt someone seize me by the neck. I screamed at the top of my lungs. “Illyria!!”

“They’ve never stopped.” ⸻ Across the battlefield… Caelan lifted his blade. Unlike the others… His movements were perfectly controlled. Too controlled. No hesitation. No trembling. The collar had consumed almost everything. Almost. As he looked toward his grandfather… One tear rolled silently down his cheek. Then he charged. ⸻ Steel collided with steel. Vaelor barely blocked the first strike. The force drove him several steps backward. Lucian’s eyes widened. “He’s that strong?” Orion answered quietly.

"Caelum, I know I was wrong. I know. But Lyra and I looked exactly the same. If you look at me, isn't it like seeing her—" Caelum stepped forward. His hand closed around her throat and lifted her off the bed. Selene's feet left the ground. She clawed at his wrist as he watched the blood drain from her face, the oxygen leaving her. "You don't get to say her name." His voice was very quiet and very cold. "And that face of yours doesn't deserve to keep looking like hers." He drew out a blade infused with the sealing power of the divine realm, and drew it once across her face.

"Alpha Kaelen, Luna Elara... the execution tribunal awaits your final administrative directive." Kaelen shifted his stance, his massive, broad shoulders throwing a long, terrifying shadow over the two chairs as he drew his tactical blade from his utility sleeve. The silver crescent crest on the hilt caught the spotlight, flashing like a cold star under the dark concrete ceiling. His burning blue eyes were dark with that raw, predatory focus that now governed the absolute borders of our territory.

Just stood there, tall, impossibly calm, as if he owned the dark road itself. And the moment my eyes locked onto him… I knew Knew without a doubt. He was the same man. The man who had hurt Alara. The man who had tried to kill her. Cairos Veylan.

I scooped up a fallen sword to my side, stepping into Caelrix’s blind spot and driving a powerful, double-handed slash towards his exposed shoulder. Caelrix didn't even look back to feel it as his muscles tensed up from behind. Then he spun on his heel with a fluid, terrifying speed, bringing his blade around to parry my strike with a loud clang sound that sent a bone shaking shockwave back up my arms. "You're too slow, Duskrael!" Caelrix barked, using the force from our locked blades to aim a brutal, backwards elbow that caught Kaelen squarely in the jaw as my Beta tried to close in from behind.

We did not need to. The next assassin lunged and Kael intercepted, blade meeting blade with controlled force as I pivoted, fire flaring just enough to disarm rather than destroy. Another came from the left and I felt Kael’s shoulder brush mine as he shifted, covering the opening without looking, trusting instinct and bond over sight. Back to back. The world narrowed.

he asked quietly. Her eyes finally met his. Yes, Daze take a good long look into those magnetic blue lasers, because it will be the last time you see them. “W-what?” “Here it is!” The blonde woman, Celia handed it to her and then stepped away. She stared at this man whom she had wronged so many times. I’m just not worth it. “I want you to take a deep breath, then answer a question for me,” he whispered to her.
