#Chapter251Alarix's POVWe arrived back at the castle a few hours ago. King Darius requested my presence in his chambers. I'm hoping to get some information about this whole King Alarix situation. As much as the thought of being king scared me, being here surrounded by vampires who are already treating me like their king has made me all the more excited despite the reasoning behind my becoming royal.Novak and Elias got to work pretty much as soon as we set foot back on the castle grounds. I saw a little of what Novak could do, and I was amazed. Lila and Levi decided they would train together... Lila is a warrior; she isn't liking not doing anything. With Levi being an alpha wolf, he gives Lila a run for her money. I couldn't watch Lila being thrown about, even though she gave as good as she got, so I was glad when King Darius sent for me.I've been in his chambers for the past ten minutes, and he hasn't uttered a word. He looks exhausted and like he's aged ten years since this

#Chapter253Elias' POVI hiked through the forest, keeping my eyes and hearing sharp for any noises. Levi is going to kill me when he finds out I've gone... if I'm not already dead, that is.I need to do this. I have so many questions, and I know that she's the only one that can answer them. Although I'm not banking on her telling the truth, a few answers would suffice.I halted as I felt the presence of magic. She was here somewhere. I glanced around, trying to figure out where she was. She told me to come alone, that we needed to have this conversation between mother and son, but I can tell by the movements around the trees she isn't alone."I'm surprised you came alone." My mum wandered out from behind a tree, smiling sickly at me."I said I would." I snapped as two more witches emerged from behind another tree and stood behind her, glaring at me."So, how is King Darius' castle? I've heard it's a lovely place." She chuckled. "I can't believe they have taken the offer of beco

#Chapter255Levi's POV.I held Elias's hand, stroking my thumbs back and forth over his knuckles. He was laid in our bed gazing at the ceiling. It was like he was completely oblivious to his surroundings. He was rigid, and I could hear him grinding his teeth together.I studied my eyes over his body. He had no physical injuries that I could see. Whatever had happened to him, it was more mental. Whoever he had met in the forest had said something to him... something bad enough for him to shut down.He was hurting. I could see it on his face and in his eyes. His eyes were red and puffy, and from the tear blotches on his cheeks, he'd been sobbing. My heart shattered knowing he was alone for so long crying in the forest.It took me one hour to find him... one whole fucking hour of running around in a craze searching for him. He had concealed his scent before leaving the castle grounds, so I couldn't even track him, but that also meant, whoever he was meeting, wouldn't have been able t

#Chapter257Lila's POVI was floored when I heard the prophecy and completely and utterly devasted for Levi and Elias. I can't begin to imagine what must be going through their heads. Finding out you weren't to be must be heartbreaking.I know it won't matter to them, though... they're mates regardless."Lila... do you think they will be ok? Elias and Levi?" Alarix asked, staring out into the forest. I could hear the worry in his voice. Warmth filled my body. I loved that he thought so much of them."They're going to be just fine." I chirped. "I have never seen two people more in love." I chuckled, staring up at the clouds.I could feel his eyes on me, so I peered over at him. He was leaning against the patio fence; amusement danced in his eyes as he stared at me. "Not even us?" He feigned hurt, holding his hand over his chest.I chuckled, sitting up on the sun lounger. "Drama king," I smirked. "My love for you is out of this world," I winked, earning a breathtaking smile from

#Chapter259Elias' POV.I snaked my hand around the back of him and pushed the door open. He moaned as he shoved his hand down the front of my jeans and gripped my cock in his hand.I moaned, thrusting my hips forward as I walked us both to the bath. I pulled myself away enough to put the plug in the bath and turn the taps on."Bath, huh?" He hummed.Before I could answer, Levi hooked his thumbs into the belt loops of my jeans and yanked them down, freeing my cock in one swift move.He dropped to his knees and made quick work of swallowing my cock down his throat. I moaned, gripping his hair as I thrust my hips back and forth frantically."Say you're mine," he moaned through the link."Fuck... I'm yours... I'm yours." I groaned through gritted teeth.He moaned deep in his throat, sending waves of pleasure through my cock. I wasn't going to last long if he carried on. The pressure was building. My balls were tightening as he cupped them gently, rolling them in his hand."Lev
