Luxa Gregor The Overlander Novels & Stories

“Nice choice.” He turned and walked out of the hall without another word, his boots sounding across the hallway. Zarek stood still for a moment, he didn’t say anything and then the door opened. It was Leila. “Who was that?” Leila asked silently, stepping inside. Her hair was slightly longer, like she’d just come from the showers. She’d been in all day, and her eyes searched his face for answers. “That’s Luca. My right-hand man,” Zarek said without hesitation. “He just got back from border territory. Delivered a message from the Lycan King.”

AZALEA'S POV In the air, Greier was floating, her eyes glowing. We could hear the screeches around us, and the Lycans of the Forgotten Lands had shifted. They looked ready for a fight, whichever way it was about to go. Ugar was nowhere to be seen, while King Brennus looked like he was in a trance. “Brennus!” my father shouted, bringing the man back. “What’s going on?” Clayton asked. “When the screeching took off, Greier confirmed that Eligor brought an army of them with him here. The people here have managed to not encounter the creatures all this time, but I suspect you killing their own awoke them,” King Brennus informed.

I rambled on. “You have the same auras but yours is brighter. Every ruler of the Underworld has to be an heir of the Light.” I understood nothing from what Mismaia told me. I know it’s probably a serious matter but I just can’t wrap my head around it. I was just cooking mini donuts and waffles like a second ago. I get minimum wage and she’s telling me I’m practically like royalty. “I wanna believe you. This is just not normal for me.” She held my hand. I swiped it away. “I’m sorry.”

“In the weeks I was stationed at Riverbank, under Alpha Koren’s orders… I saw things. He’s not just unhinged—he’s deranged. Whatever evil he was capable of before—it’s nothing compared to what he can accomplish now, with Queen Aster backing him.” I paused, turning to face him fully. Luca’s eyes were shadowed with fear. “They’re planning to overtake all of Keladia. And not just Keladia. He has maps—plans—outlining a path of conquest across every major territory. Witches, werewolves, vampires—he wants to enslave or destroy them all.” I clenched my jaw. But Luca wasn’t done. His voice dropped lower, more cautious. “And it’s the Queen Luna, he’s obsessed with. He’s turned her old bedroom into a

Greg demanded, his face crinkling in confusion. She shrugged. “I have no idea, my alpha. But they said it was urgent.” “you should really be taking their names,” he sighed as he looked at Lyra. “I’ll be back sweetie. Will you be okay on your own?” Lyra nodded. “I’ll be fine, just go.” Greg gave her a look before he turned around and started to walk in the direction of the palace entryway. When he was gone, she looked at Helga. “Isn’t this wonderful,” Helga laughed. “The future Luna of the Lycans.”

“Dirty or not, I have something you want and you're too stupid to find out on your own. I would not have thought that." Since Aurelia was already tapping the power of her monster, the fuse that should lead to the explosion was already dangerously short. With this remark the other Elevender lit her purposefully, Aurelia's anger increased, the insult hit her so unexpectedly that she lost her head completely atypically and a storm of hatred broke out inside her. Even though she knew he was just trying to provoke her, she couldn't stop herself. Her eyes narrowed on their own, her jaw began to grind. "For God's sake." Gregorowicz rolled his ridiculously large eyes. “How many more hints do you nee

The sun was about to set and the yellow lights were turned on in every cottage, making the whole town look beautiful. It was foggy at the peak of the mountain, but I could clearly see the Soare-Luna mountain, which was the tallest mountain in Jivan. Soare-Luna meant Sun-Moon mountains because it was said to be the land of both Sun worshippers – vampires – and Moon worshippers – werewolves. It was said to be the home of God Sol and Goddess Luna. And the Lycan river originated at the top of the mountain. But for some reason, no one had ever made it to the top. I imagined that if it was so beautiful here, it must be exquisite at the top where one would be able to see the entire island of Jiv.

He stopped halfway as he tried to remember my name like he had somehow heard about it from somewhere. “Natalia.” “Yes, Miss Natalia, what a lovely name for a lovely lady like you.” he said and attempted to kiss my hand but the groan from Seb stopped him and he settled for a shake whilst chuckling. “I see your man is very protective of you and he is also the jealous type.” “Yes Minister, I am very very protective of what’s mine.” He said and stylishly took my hand from the minister. “Hmm…I see. Well, moving on. This is Minister Don, he is the one in charge of all the regulating and sanctioning of businesses. Minister Don, you do remember Sebastian right? The son of the former Gamma we lost in

She refused to cry. Gregor stepped forward. His emotionless eyes shifted from Elda to me. “Your Majesty,” he said with reverent coldness, “you have no say in this. BloodHowl law is clear. Any attempt on the life of the Royal House is treason.” He looked down at Elda again, like she was a rag, then back at me. His voice fell like the final toll of a bell. “The punishment… is death.”

“Austin, you did the right thing, stepping aside. A man who knows when he’s beaten earns respect. I’ll take it from here.” Austin’s lips twitched into something between a smirk and a death sentence. “Enjoy your throne, Greg,” he said, his voice low, cutting. “Just remember, the higher you sit, the harder you break when you fall.” Greg chuckled, waving him off. “Empty threats. This is my empire now.” Lucy’s stomach knotted tighter. She wanted to scream, to tear the smugness off Greg’s face. But Austin’s hand brushed hers under the table, subtle, grounding. His whisper grazed her ear: “Watch. Just watch.”
