Chapter 42
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. We glare at each other with a powerful aura of submission thickening in the air around us.
Before I know it, we're in an intense power-struggle that breathes life into my soul, screaming to win. Only I wish I can say it's easy.
She's too powerful.
Unlike Kyro, this woman's gaze burns with only evil.

"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

Murdering them will only be a last resort. Also, we're next to indestructible, so I'll be your shield, Little human," Grayson smirks.Theia smiles gently, trying desperately to hide the fear captivating her eyes, as Grayson curls his arms around her tiny figure.Jaxson hides Valerie, and Sophia and Dylan curl their arms around each other. 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.

His action causes me to stop.It’s then, as my gaze burns through his, I see his honest feelings swirl tightly in his amber eyes, and I’m only able to say one thing. “I’m sorry.”He laughs, the sound humourless. “Sorry? I lost you once. I mourned you. You came back, and I was so fucking ecstatic. I thought it’d be like the old days. I-I thought we could be Charming and Wolfe. But while I would die for you, while I love you, I realise you don’t care about us - you never will.”“Of course, I do…” I try to defend myself, but he yells.“Don’t! Just don’t.
