Raina isn't in the servant's quarters when I go down to look for her.She isn't in the courtyard.She isn't in the kitchens.I don't know how I know where these places are but I do.It's like I'm working purely on memory and my memory is not failing me this time. Every corner of the fortress rings with the echoes of something lost and forgotten and it's something I lost.Something I forgot.When I finally find her, she's seated in the garden with another woman.A very beautiful woman with eyes the color of roses and hair a deep scarlett.Raina gets up the moment she sees me coming and that rigidness enters her spine yet again."Lady Adelaide."The other female with her frowns like she's slightly confused, and I just stand there, awkward.She never told me we had an expectant mother in the fortress.When the silence stretches on for too long I clear my throat and shift from foot to foot."There's.... Hi." The red haired female looks at me with an even more bewildered expression and I

Lysandra tells me all about how someone like me came to the fortress one day.She tells me of how she stood at the gates, waiting for a rendezvous with Rhys and then she saw me, bound, unconscious, being carried towards the compound as the unruly warriors looked between the folds of my skirt.She says she assumed I was trying to get trouble for myself right away because I wasn't wearing any underwear. "And who forgets to put on underwear when they're headed to the home of a Lycan King? I just assumed that it was either you wanted the attention, and the warriors were going to give it to you.""Right from the moment you came, weird things started happening. For one, Cain was hit twice in one day.""When she says his name it's like something in me sings with want."Lyros had you starved for seven days on end and on the eight, i heard you were almost assaulted again just after you were fed by the guard at your door. Cain saved you, took you to the healer, had you fed and healed, and in r

Hi lovelies. I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. I ran into a technical issue so i couldn't write at all, but good news. I should be back and functional by Tuesday this week. Anticipate the ending of this book and the possible beginning of a new one. Love you all ｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡ P.s i don't know why the website won't just let me post this in peace. I've posted shorter author notes before but they didn't hit a mandatory wordcount barrier. This is just me trying to fill in space and make up words. Almost there, ah, just right. Love y'all (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

“What happened!” Rafie is fuming and sunlight leaves little cracks on his skin. Alizadeh is wrapped in the energy of his sight and he’s lost in it. A Lycan King, lost in the thrall of his power. I feel something strange happen to me. Something that hasn’t happened to me in a while and it’s an emotion that comes to me in trickles. It’s fear. Something has gone wrong. Something has gone terribly wrong and I didn’t plan for it. “I asked what happened Lyros!’ “Do I look like I fucking know!” Those words leave my lips in a snarl and energy revolves around Rafie. Thick blinding rays of sunlight twist and he stares at me menacingly. The servant holding onto Alizadeh’s legs lets out a soul-shattering scream and drops to the ground, dead. The next one is sobbing so heavily and her grief is fully written on her face. She doesn’t want to die. None of them want to, but they aren’t Kings. The fate of a Kingdom doesn’t rest on their shoulders. They have to die to sustain him. And to sus

It’s noon when I feel the shift happen in this world.We’ve been trapped here for three months. In the span of three months we have discovered the kingdoms here.Become familiar with the people and their Kings.In three months I have become someone important myself, but my heart has not been able to stop thinking about her. I know Adelaide sent us here so we could be safe.I raged the first day we got here.I sent blasts of energy into the skies and altered the weather. I warped the landscape. I let out so much energy, that I attracted the attention of the Kings and their armies.I put Rhys and Safira in danger yet I didn’t stop. I was determined to get her back, determined to tear through the fabric of the world itself if it meant i’d see her again.I… was determined to get back to Adelaide. I let out a steady beam of magic until I almost burnt myself out.When i woke up after that, i waited. Safira and Rhys asked me not to kill myself trying to get us back there. They said Adelaide
