The Ruined Death Knight Novels & Stories

The fire cracked softly between us. No one spoke. Not me. Not Kael. Not even Lena, who now looked like she regretted saying anything at all. But it was too late. The words had already settled inside me like poison. The last Queen of Ruin didn’t die. She was reborn. I stared at the flames, trying to steady my breathing. “That’s impossible,” I said finally. Lena shifted awkwardly near the doorway. “It’s just a legend.”

Ruby’s world shatters the night she walks in on her boyfriend, Ethan, having sex with her best friend. Heartbroken and angry, she gets drunk at a bar and ends up sleeping with a handsome stranger, even leaving him $500 the next morning like she paid for the night. She thinks she’ll never see him again. Until she gets a job at Blackwood Holdings and walks into the CEO’s office — only to come face to face with the same man. Zane Blackwood. What Ruby doesn’t know is that after their night together, Zane’s assistant discovered she is the girl he has been searching for.

But if we lost again, not only would we lose so much, everyone would find out that the pack could not protect itself against those dead knights. “F*ck,” I said under my breath, my heart thumping in my chest. I placed the phone and the marble sink and proceeded to remove my clothes. I needed to shower and get ready as quickly as I could. I did not have time to waste. The Dead Knights were known to strike on the blood moon, and that would be in exacly a week. We had no time.

“Who do you think those late nights were with? Business trips, all of it.” I didn't want to believe him. My knees buckled at the confession. This was the same girl that kept telling me that I made a mistake marrying Cole. He suddenly grinned. “I'm sorry you have to die while realizing that everyone betrayed you, Danielle. I doubt you'd even be able to take revenge in your next life. You're way too fucking weak.” His eyes were fixed on mine, watching me. I gasped, feeling the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. Saliva was dripping down the sides of my mouth. My eyes darted to Ellie's body on the floor, and then to Cole again.

It raised its sword and a second after that, all the skeletons stopped moving. (Different from a death knight, this version is not only stronger but it can also use magic.) “What is that thing?” “I’ve never seen it before.” “A death knight? It looks different.” Mumbles from the people behind him were filled with their confusion. Of course they’ve never seen one. Death paladins were high ranked monsters after all. It was rare enough to meet a death knight. “That’s a death paladin. Be careful, it is strong.” A random Hunter spoke up. He was wearing a dark green cloak that covered his head, concealing a part of his face. On his chest was a Hunter tag. It was bronze, a Champion rank.

A knight handed me a robe that I draped around myself. I looked at the line of dead bodies of my warriors. “How many martyrs?” I asked. “We haven’t counted alpha, but as you can see…” Gamma Nash’s voice was low with respect for the ones who died. It was then my eyes went on Trent lying limp on the ground with a hole created in his chest. Tremors waved through my chest seeing him lifelessly lying on the ground. “Trent?” I mumbled, tensing my brows. “After you passed out, the fallen ultimas who looked like skeletons rose again. All of them aimed for luna and you. Knight Trent lost his life protecting luna. He fulfilled his duty as her knight,” gamma Nash said.

He smiled, "Now, Eat something. I don't want you to be sick and unable to see the dead bodies of your pack members and your dear mate." "This is what you can do, Knight. Ruin people's lives and consider yourself a victor but you in reality are a cheap pathetic being. You have no strength of yours, you are trying to reach the top by using the rouges; The same wolves who couldn't even be loyal to their packs," Venom dripped from my voice, "You should be ashamed of yourself, for your mate you even killed your mate, the one who was connected to your soul. There's no one else in the world who is as destroyed as you, you are ruined!"

The knight let out a furious roar and swung its machete at Nathaniel. Nathaniel shouted, "A level seven undead knight? Do you really think you can defeat me?!" He swung his sword once again and another beam of golden light followed. Being a peak level eight, dealing with such undead was like child's play for Nathaniel. With just one stroke, he decapitated the knight. The undead knight's attack halted instantly. It swayed for a moment before collapsing to the ground. "Phew! It's finally dead!" The people around sighed in relief.

« There was an attack of a big demon break in the castle; no one knew about where it came from. The knights managed to kill it, but it was too late, the king was already dead. After approximately two years, the war occurred. We won it, but we were weakened by it, we lost a lot of people. I don’t know what happened after since I died. » « Did you die a normal death? » « No, I was killed by William Ramezinat. He told me about the fact that he planned for your death. When I died, there were a lot of the dark guild mages. » « I see. Then what happened to the whole family? »

I said, unhooking my waist belt. I turned to face my pack. They were focused on rebuilding the walls that were destroyed during the last attack. I could see the disdain on their faces, the anger they felt over my last request. But they failed to see the truth, I'm the reason why the goddess's favour had rested upon us. “All of you,” I said, my gaze travelling across the courtyard. “I'm sure you all have heard the most recent news. Ronin, a former brother-in-arms, is dead. He was killed by the Blackthorne Alpha after he left our lands to negotiate our stand,” I said, moving a few paces forward.
