The Hell Queen’s Game was more than seduction... it was merger.” Ryker knelt to inspect the rune. “It’s alive. Growing.” Nyra clenched her fist, the rune burning under her skin. “Then I must master it, or it will master me.” Without warning, the gates exploded inward in a cascade of splintered wood and shattered iron. Selira’s commanders strode through, banners dripping blood. Their eyes locked on Selene’s family.

Thorne had given them to me in the first year of our marriage, back when he still believed gestures could substitute for affection, back when I believed them too. Without a word, I placed them in the man’s palm. He looked down at the earrings, then at my face. His eyes flicked over my coat, my posture, the way I held myself too straight, but he didn’t ask where I was going. He didn’t ask why. After some minutes of silence, he jerked his head toward the last wagon in the line. “Keep quiet,” he said gruffly. “We don’t turn back for stragglers.”

Yet the entire forest seemed to tremble before it. The wind fell silent… Ancient trees groaned… Even the roaring flames hesitated, their fury diminishing beneath the overwhelming aura radiating from the God of War. Lucien regarded the incoming spells with complete indifference. Then... He swept those immense wings forward. BOOM!

They should be called chelate limbs—the chelate limbs of spiders. The blood-red compound eyes opened, and the consciousness of the human in the robot had been possessed, becoming cruel and chaotic. The price of increased strength was that reason was constantly eroded, eventually to the point where it was difficult to turn back. Spider Queen's speed was extremely fast in movement, which no human could achieve. It was now impossible to tell what exactly controlled the robot inside. Elijah looked at what happened with emotions in his eyes, and then turned to Carl and said, "Go, go, activate Champion, Thunderbolt, and Zapper."

Gina gave the woman a stormy narrow-eyed look that told her everything. She could appreciate her fascination with the mob enforcer, but she was not to touch. Without another glance Gina turned her gaze toward the man who was holding several garment bags. He made his way toward the walk-in closet and began hanging them one at a time. Gina automatically tried to follow him in, knowing the items in the bags were meant for her.

“I think there’s probably something there that the commander of these insects wants. Though I have no idea what.” “A Celestial Gear probably.” Rain said. “Pardon?” Matthew said in a way so that Rain would repeat himself. “The workers in the factory had told me about it too. In the past, a dwarven blacksmith created a collection of equipment meant to take down the Scarlett King and his elite soldiers. From history, a certain Hero was supposed to have all of them on him.

The members of the council, however, started rising one by one. “Elyria is unfit to rule this kingdom,” Lord Karth yelled, and the next thing I knew, General Darius came charging in with an army of soldiers, completely disrupting the peaceful atmosphere of the ceremony.

The war wasn’t coming. It was already inside the house.

I was surprised and even impressed, until I saw that Alpha Kai had entered the room. “You’re all behaving with dishonor.” Vera stole a glance at him out of the corner of her eye and continued to speak loudly. Well, that was a bit obvious, even for Vera, I thought, but I took the offered help easily enough. Unlike my pack, Vera’s pack was powerful and would remain so even if the current Queen weren’t a member of it.
