Novel & Cerita Heirs Of Magic

"She will come to this castle. She will need guidance. She has the power to save both our packs from destruction." My hands trembled so hard the pages shook. Was she writing about me? Then I found a page that made my blood run cold. "My son doesn't understand the danger," Althea wrote. "He works with evil men. They seek the power of the symbols. They have forced a girl named Valerie to marry my grandsons Noah and Neal. They believe she carries the magic. But they are wrong and they will never get realize it because they would have been dead. The true heiress will come later from Moonshade. She is the one we have waited for."

I said, calm and steady, “is Selene truly the next heir?” The room went quiet. Selene froze and Magnus blinked, surprised. He answered firmly. “Yes,” he said, “she is the next heir.” I nodded slightly, pretending to consider it, and then asked the next question, keeping my voice calm but sharp. “Then tell me,” I said, “who are her parents, and why does the true heir control dark magic that wasn’t sent by the Moon Goddess?” The hall went completely silent. Every eye turned to Magnus, to me, to Selene. Selene’s hand hovered near the crown, her confidence slipping. Her mother’s expression stiffened, and Magnus’s jaw clenched.

The air grew thick, oppressive, charged with magic so dense Selene could barely breathe even though this was just a memory. “I curse your bloodline,” Moira intoned, her voice echoing with otherworldly power. “Every heir will be bound to a human woman fragile, mortal, temporary. She will carry your child, and that child will feed on her life force like a parasite. She will die in agony, and you will watch, helpless. And with each death, you will lose yourself—your humanity, your sanity, your soul—until there’s nothing left but the beast.” The first heir’s face paled. “You can’t-”

“Crane knows who you really are, Julian. He’s known for weeks. He’s just been waiting… watching… to see who else figures it out.” Julian’s stomach tightened. Aiden stared at him. “You mean…” Oliver nodded. “Yes. He knows you’re the heir.” Clarissa stepped forward, and said in a hard voice. “Then why hasn’t he done anything?” “Because,” Oliver said slowly, “he’s not the type to eliminate the heir. He’s the type to use him.” Julian’s breath caught. “He wants to control you, Julian. Put you in Harold’s place, clean up the mess, and make it look like VanDermere Global is being saved from within. You’ll be his puppet, his perfect distraction while he tightens his grip on the company.”

“Why?” A wry line carves itself on her face. “Children tend to vanish when they venture too far from home. I would hate for any of you to end up like the lost heirs,” she says, and I think she meant it as a joke because her dreary eyes shine with dark humour, but I also think it was a sincere warning. “The lost… heirs?” I repeat questioningly, hopefully a worthy prompt for an elucidation. A ghoulish glint sparks in Hilda’s dull eyes. “The lost heirs; twins that braved into the woods. Rumours speculate that it was to visit their favourite spot by the lake which they visited religiously, but one day… they never returned.”

Maven shrugged. "You must have not been listening in history class. Everus has been experiencing dwindling numbers in it's magic schools, they say magic is dying because our lands are cursed. But it you ask me, they're faring much better than us." He was right, Summer never took history seriously, in fact it was one of the subjects that she detested. "Enough about war and silly plagues. I want you so badly. I missed you so much" Maven begged with a need Summer could feel through the folds of her dress as he pressed her into him. She wanted him too, but she wanted him the right way.

I look at her. "Why?" "Magic." She says it like the answer should be obvious. "Girls tend to inherit the magical bloodline more consistently. Boys can inherit it, but it's much less common." She pauses. "So if your mother was part witch..." I stare at her. "Then having a girl first actually makes sense." I think about it. She's right. My parents had me first. And now I'm having a girl. "It's strange." "What is?" "That I've spent my entire life thinking there was something unusual about me..."

Leather, dust, faint hints of dried herbs still clinging to the pages. My fingers hovered just inches from the nearest row. I didn’t touch. Not yet. I only let my eyes move across the titles, slowly, reverently, the way one might read names on a gravestone or constellations in the sky. There were texts on magical theory, of course—advanced treatises on Bloodcraft, lineage studies, ancient House rituals—but nestled in between them were books that surprised me. Inheritance Beyond Bone: A Study of Blood Memory in the Sovereign Lines

If it hadn't been for the fact that his aptitude for magic had been discovered and that Count Rein had paid for him to study at the Mage's Guild, he would have ended up, at best, with a hereditary lord or a low-ranking priest, and, at worst, with a merchant or a professional. And Christine? Baron Stewart's only child at the moment. There are not many heirs to the Bloodline Warlocks, and if Baron and Baroness Stewart do not have a second child, she will be the future Baroness. If the second child is a boy, she will at least become a 5th-rank warlock with her bloodline talent, and she will receive the title of Field Lord, so she will not have to worry about her livelihood.

But his eyes went half-lidded, glowing only the tiniest bit. Cullen’s mother pressed a hand to his chest and forehead. Magic glowed softly across her fingers. “Is that helping?” I asked. She shook her head. “No. This drain isn’t a spell. It’s a bond. The Shadow Heir and this boy were created from the same core. Two guardians. One seal. When one wakes… the other feels the pull.” “So he’s dying,” Rowan said quietly. She nodded slowly. “Yes. If the Shadow Heir gets close enough.”
