Destiny: The Taken King Oryx Novels & Stories

Behind them, a rival Alpha’s gaze burned with cruel ambition. The spirit’s whisper cut through the vision. “The attack will come beneath the Red Moon. Jeremy will fall, and you will be left to face the darkness alone. You must not falter, Abbey. You must lead. You must protect your kin.” My pulse thundered in my ears as the vision shifted again. Flames licked across the pack’s borders. Screams echoed. Blood stained the earth. And through it all, Jeremy’s body lay in the dirt, lifeless, while I stood above him with gold dripping from my palms like molten fire.

But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d seen this before — in that red desert, under the three moons. The devil had knocked. And now she wanted in.

“You are Destiny. The Queen of the Realm.” Below, the spear twisted through magma and soul-fire, feeding from the core of the world. It spun into a molten orb, gaining momentum, until— BOOM!

Orian pulled away from me and walked forward to them with a nod and they all bowed before him only getting into their standing position after he had acknowledged them one by one which I noticed he did with slight composure. He was slightly nervous, I could tell from the way he quickly called each by their name and moved to the next like he just wanted to get this over and done with. It was like he didn't feel comfortable in their presence. "Japheth." He addressed the one I knew was the ruler of the demons and I watched as he raised himself with a not-so-happy look on his face.
