Chapter 39
"Here, you should eat," I hand Jaxson a deers body. He leant against a tree, his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping – but I know he isn't. I can't help but admire him under the Moons glow.
He looks beautiful.
Slight stubble brushes against his razor-sharp jaw, a shadow casts over one side of his handsome features, an angry breeze sweeps past us, its cold touch curls around us, but Jaxson remains unmoving – calm.
He hasn't spoken to me much. We had to travel to the lost realm on foot, as we couldn't warp there because we didn't know where Selene's tomb lies. And, if Selene shows me the path, she won't reach us if we no longer existed on any plane.
Jaxson opens his eyes, pale eyes boring into m

I watch Fenrir, with a similar expression of 'awe' and 'shock.' I've never seen a wolf so large; he can crush another with a single paw.What the hell is he? A wolf that big isn't even considered a wolf.His eyes are dark mercury, boring into mine searching for something, what?My thoughts freeze when something wet and slimly drizzles onto my shoulder. A deep, heavy breath that sounds like slobbering echoes behind me. I almost vomit from the stench of its breath, my stomach curling uncomfortably.I can feel my nose hairs burning.Lifting my gaze slightly, I lock eyes with the yellow, menacing eyes of a large Goblin. Its wrists, neck, nose,

The moment Kyro is gone, Jaxson twirls me around forcefully. Before I can even register what had occurred, his lips slam down onto my own in a desperate heat of passion.Something is consuming about this one kiss, something that leaves me breathless as his tongue battles mine in a greedy crusade.As his fingers dig into my hips to pull me impossibly closer, a gentle sigh escapes my lips. As his one hand curls through the locks of my white hair, he deepens the kiss until I'm breathless.I'm shocked when he pulls away and settles his forehead against mine. We're breathing heavily for a moment, from the intensity of the kiss, the sparks that still trickle along my lips, "don't leave me, Nieve."I'm

I stay silent, refusing to give Freya a reaction. Maybe this is her idea of a joke. To find some way to break my defences, but I'm going to satisfy her.Her cold, menacing eyes cut through mine.This moment feels familiar.One creature against another.

"Are you sure this is wise, Brother?" Grayson sighs. Valerie, Sophia, Dylan, Jaxson, and even Theia rowed along a cerise ocean. The air rang with an eerie silence, and fog slithered across the sea in soft, concise strokes.Grayson's words break them from the silence hanging in the atmosphere for the better half of two hours. They'd have warped across the river, but none have been to the deadly island enough times to reach it. In Jaxson's long life, he has only ever visited once."No. But it is the only option," Jaxson grumbles, Theia's small body huddled between the two large males, her arms wound around Jaxson's leg as his body comforted her from the cold, harsh breeze stinging the air.They had no choice but to bring her, as she threatened to follow them some w

Loud, bird-like shrieks wailed from the skies. The harpies have smelt their new arrivals.It was impossible for them to not. The birds have never felt anything so consumed in sin before, until now. Their claws practically burned to tear the skin from their bodies.Once the group stood in the glittering black sand surrounding the Island, the Harpies began their descent. A Harpy landed with a loud thud, directly across from Jaxson, who

Moments feel like hours. Jaxson's body burns with anguish as both he and Fenrir feel the light she ignited wither away. "Valerie-… Just a little longer. Please!" Jaxson words fall into a desperate plea, refusing to believe this is it for her.But it's hard to accept that when her lips, skin, and hair are all frozen. Her body is still. Inert. Dead. She's dead."V-Valerie," Theia whispers. She falls to her knees beside her head. Neither acknowledges the flock of Harpies watching them.They're pleased to realise they didn't waste their sister's life, that they too feel the sting of losing a comrade. Their only regret is they hadn't been the ones to deliver the final blow. Oh well, as hard as it is for them to face, the Qusayr will always be superior.
