283. THE SECRET KINGDOM
NARRATORBeyond iron bars, powerful magic, seals, and chains—far past the Isle of the Selenias and the dark mist, beyond the storm clouds and spectral screams—an entire civilization had survived. One that was believed to be extinct.Baltazar, the Regent of the Realm, was deep in a meeting with his advisors when the grand doors of the hall burst open, and one of the guards stumbled in, his face pale with panic."I hope what you have to say is a matter of life and death," he said coldly, his sharp brown eyes locking onto the trembling man."Y-Your Lordship… we’ve received all kinds of reports from the kingdom’s borders," the man stammered. "T-The…""Speak, damn it!""The boundary mist is receding!" the guard blurted out in one breath, sweat dripping down his face.Baltazar immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.He bolted from his chair, storming onto the balcony and shoving the heavy doors open.His wise eyes scanned the sky—the thick, dark clouds that barely allowed any ligh
284. GAINING TIME
NARRATORAldric turned, watching as the dark mist began to stir violently.Whirlwinds formed within it, spiraling upward into the sky, stretching to cover everything above them.Daylight, suddenly, seemed to be swallowed by the darkness—only fear and shadow remained, seething with hatred and vengeance.The waters of the lake churned restlessly, blackening, as if veins spread across the surface, weaving a web of corruption.The lake began to harden, solidifying—it was the last barrier separating them from whatever was about to emerge from that prison."Azarot, we must give our pup as much time as possible."Standing atop the hill, Aldric’s storm-gray eyes flickered toward the rear ranks, away from the danger of the front lines, behind the army.There, the three Selenias were waiting for their moment.He and his army had to buy them time."And if she fails, Aldric? I won’t just stand by and watch her be in danger.""If she fails, we have no choice but to face the King of Specters. For a
285. FATHER-IN-LAW VS. SON-IN-LAW
NARRATORCeline watched the battle from a distance.Her role was to protect the three Selenias from any surprise attacks.Even though she knew her mate was incredibly powerful, that he had an army of fearless soldiers willing to die for him, she couldn’t help but worry."Mother, don’t overexert yourself!"Valeria’s shout snapped her out of her intense focus on the bloody battle unfolding beneath her feet."Grandmother!""Keep the incantation going! I can handle it! We’re at the critical point—come on, Valeria, fight for your daughter, take control!"Through the iridescent veil surrounding the Selenias, Celine heard Gabrielle’s urgent command.Blood stained the corners of her lips, yet her eyes shone vibrantly with the blue of her youth.Her sight had returned, and the scars on her face had faded as the power she had long lost surged back into her body.Valeria closed her eyes and took command of the spell. Her mother had already exhausted herself.Celine watched as raven wings began s
286. LIGHT VS. SHADOW
ALDRICI immediately sat up, slightly dazed by the jolt.On the grass and earth, stained with blood and sweat, death and dark shadows, I remained alert, watching what had just happened.A warrior clad in golden armor, enormous raven-like golden wings on her back, and two gleaming swords raised above her head, was holding off the attack aimed at my back.Her short hair moved wildly, her eyes locked onto her target—her mate. I could feel the intense emotions surging through her heart."Sigrid, I'll give you the chance you asked for, but if I see you in danger even once…""It won’t happen, Father. He will recognize me. Do not intervene, please… trust me." She assured me, and all I could do was place my trust in a love I didn’t even understand.That man who radiated pure evil and hatred… how could he be the owner of so much light?I roared, launching myself at the nearest specter, releasing my fury and helplessness.At least I had confirmed that my woman and my pups were safe, resting on
287. I REMEMBER YOU
NARRATORSigrid knew it even before it touched her skin—it was pure poison.She raised her hand, and hundreds of ravens flooded the dark shadows, piercing through the storm, merging into one another, hardening to form a giant shield that protected her people.But the shield was flawed—it had a gaping hole, right above her."Sigrid, what are you doing?!" Aldric roared, trying to rush to her aid, but his daughter completely blocked him with a barrier.From a distance, Valeria watched in panic as the power of the Selenias, the very power they had worked so hard to refine and gather, protected the army—but not her daughter."Sigrid, no, daughter, no, please," she began to cry, calling to her through their bond, but Sigrid didn't hear her. She only looked at the man above her."I am yours, and you are mine. You are not Umbros, nor Gray—you are Silas. Only my Silas," her lips trembled with the last syllables, whispered softly, but she knew he could hear her.The black droplets were falling
288. DADDY LYCAN JEALOUS
NARRATORThey laughed and cried; they looked like two crazed lovers who had missed each other for an eternity."I… this is my true form, I am… I am like this," Sigrid whispered against his lips, her cheeks flushed.She could no longer hide behind Electra’s body; now, she was completely herself, in body and soul."I know… I dreamed of you so many times, and none of them did you justice. Nothing does justice to your beauty. You are… simply perfect," Silas traced her full lower lip with his finger, swallowing hard as desire rekindled in his body.His eager eyes roamed her delicate features, her porcelain-like skin, her expressive, luminous eyes.His hands caressed her smooth back, gripped her narrow waist, pulling her against him, feeling her curves, aching to touch her skin beneath the armor.Their gazes locked, charged with passion, their breaths tangled.Sigrid felt slightly embarrassed; Silas, on the other hand, could only think about kissing her, about claiming her as his, never let
289. MY WIFE IS THE BOSS
NARRATORAldric knew very well that, despite his strength, he was no match to kill this man—someone even the Selenias feared. But he would never bow his head to anyone."Give me my woman, and you can keep your stupid realm. I have no interest in the rotten lands of supernatural beings."Sigrid nearly had a heart attack. She had forgotten how blunt Silas could be."YOUR WOMAN?! We’ll see about that! You haven’t even asked for her hand, and yet you dare to slobber all over her right in front of me!" Aldric’s claws gleamed as they suddenly extended.The dark fur of the lycan began reappearing over his human body, which was barely covered in rags."Everyone calm down, please, Dad…" Sigrid intervened, pressing against Aldric’s chest with all her strength.She looked like a small doll next to her father’s monstrous height and bulging muscles.This standoff wasn’t leading anywhere. No one was willing to back down.Meanwhile, Quinn rushed off to ensure the protection of the women, and Zarek,
290. ARE WE AT WAR OR NOT?
NARRATOREven though Silas knew she was his mate’s mother, that she wasn’t responsible for his suffering, every fiber of his being rebelled against showing even a shred of courtesy to another Selenia—anyone who wasn’t his Sigrid.A low growl rumbled behind Valeria.Aldric was barely restraining himself.How dare he show such disrespect to Valeria—the very woman who had brought his mate into this world?Sigrid also looked at him anxiously. More than anyone, she understood him, but that didn’t mean she liked his dismissive behavior toward her mother."Silas…""It’s fine, pup. He needs time. I understand his fears very well…"Valeria wasn’t offended in the slightest. She was about to lower her hand, which had been extended in the air for some time, but suddenly, a larger, colder one took it."Thank you for giving birth to her," Silas said, clumsily returning the greeting."I am the only one blessed by that," Valeria smiled, gazing affectionately at her daughter.Sigrid couldn’t help but
