LAMIATime is measured by a watch, the sun, and the moon. The cycle of the realm turning. Time is honored by nature, which flourishes and grows under its revolving sky and elements.A life is reliant on time. Some have more than others and some die sooner than expected. We are all born with an expiration date, that expiration date just isn't filled out.Then you have these things called walkers. Neither human nor monster where time stood still for them. Their hearts do not beat, their minds do not think, their bodies move but for what I do not know. They simply exist with no purpose, no means, no thought, no goal.Guilt riddled me for what I was about to do, making me wonder where this guilt was when I wanted to massacre the Changelings.When I initially was prepared to slaughter the Changelings it festered from raw hate and retaliation of who they previously served. With these walkers, I felt sorry for them. They did not come to be like this of their own free will. They were people, m
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 18 – Until We Meet Again
LAMIAKellen sat holding Seneca, cradling her against his chest. I thought there might be some jealousy from Mathias: Another Alpha holding his daughter like she was his.To my surprise, relief, and joy there wasn’t a hint of jealousy between the two Alpha’s. However, I could see Mathias was itching to have his daughter back in his arms.Letting go of Mathias’s hand I stand, walk around the table, and reach for Seneca. Kellen pulls her back frowning as he does. “Just a little longer.” He says with a pleading voice. His ocean-blue eyes gave me a puppy dog look.“You’ll see her again.” Tala laughs and balances Connor on her lap and plucks Seni from her mate's arms much to his dismay, his scowl becoming deeper. Making the scare down his face look more menacing.“I haven't been away from her in three thousand years,” Kellen grumbles feeling the loss as Tala hands me my child.Before I can even hand Seneca to Mathias, Zane holds out his arms as I round the table again. “Can I hold her pleas
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 19 – Return to Cambiador
LAMIAKellen, Mike, Tala, Lyric, and the pups left at sunrise, heading back to New Moon. Where more weapons would be manufactured and shipped with Kellen and Mike when they left from the New Moon coast to Asiarian, Tyron, the royal delta, and Mike's father would be in charge of New Moon warriors.Finn left to go back to the Kodiak Kingdom, hoping to tie up some stuff and aid Alpha Xander before he too traveled to the second content with a team of warriors. Leaving the Kodiak kingdom in Alpha Xanders's capable hands and Abner Brooks as backup.Rhett and Leneve would follow us to the Werecat Kingdom a few days later, after securing MacTire and leaving Josiah and Oliver with instructions. A handful of changelings would stay behind due to the threat of Aodh’s army reaching our shores. Petra had been sent on a mission to scout the shores to see if the rumors were true that a fraction of the dark army would land on our borders any day.Hunji and Morgan decided to head back to Riocht for thre

TOBIASThe days were hot, but the nights weren’t much better. I had sworn I would never return to the desert on the second continent again, but here I am knee knee-deep in war, leading shifters from all backgrounds.I walk across the rocky terrain heading for my tent. We had set up makeshift tents on the border of Asiarian and moved citizens from Bhakhil further into the country and closer to the capital.Each day shifters and humans from surrounding small countries were coming to the border. Only a few Andorian’s had managed to escape the chaos and destruction Aodh’s army had brought and made their way here.Those who could fight stayed at the border with us, preparing for the dark army to reach our position. We had suffered great losses on all fronts. Bhakhil was lucky the city had managed to evacuate before they were taken over.Sources tell us the dark army lingers on the outskirts of Bhakhil and will reach the Asiarian border within two weeks. Just thinking about it makes my heart

KELLENMy days back at New Moon had been filled with meetings, organizing, paperwork, and lots of reading. In between that, addressing the kingdom and coordinating with the new council that included Mike’s father had taken up the majority of my time.I was unsettled on the inside, hiding my emotions once more as I navigated being so far from Seneca. I loved my son with all my heart and held him at every opportunity. I made time to tuck him, to tell him things a father should, but still, there was a longing in my heart for Seneca.I felt as if I had neglected her; neglected my promise to protect her. I constantly worried about her well-being even though she was with Lamia and Mathias who were not just her parents but more than capable of keeping her safe. Still, it didn’t give me any comfort to know she was without me. Our car pulled up to the docks, the trucks had already arrived, and I could see the crates of weapons being loaded onto the cargo ship.I climb out of the vehicle, exte
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 22 – Magic all around
MORGANThe city of Cambiador came into view. The pristine white of the buildings stood out against the heavy green foliage that surrounded the werecat capital.It was a beautiful city, a magnificent kingdom. I had been here several times with Hunji in the past few years and every time I was amazed by the enchanting scenery.I turn to look at my wolfman, his serious and concentrated face focused on the road ahead. He had withdrawn into himself even more since Lamia and Kellen had returned. Though, I had an inclining that his quietness had more to do with the vision I had been having lately than the upcoming battle we faced.Ascena had told me once that my visions were a possibility, the most likely outcome, and were never set in stone. She was right, I had learned that over the years and had come to understand my premonitions more and more.Having the gift of sight wasn’t always a great gift, and it was one you couldn’t trust. It was possibly my least favorite gift that had been bestowe
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 23 – The Journey Pt.2
LAMIAThe wind gently whips my dark hair across my face as I stand at the bow of the boat looking out into the dark abyss of the ocean. The stars above are vast and cast light onto the calm black waters.I inhale deeply, smelling the salty air and tasting it on the tip of my tongue. It was so peaceful, so quiet that the thoughts that had been plaguing me seemed to wash away with the ocean breeze. A calm settled over me and the images of battles from long ago when I was Inanna faded into the background.We had been on the boat for two days now and would arrive at the shores of Asiarian sometime tomorrow.I knew there would be no peace of mind once we reached Hunji’s homeland. From there on out it would be organized chaos as we prepared to take on a god and his dark army.Despite feeling peaceful, I felt empty and alone gazing at the stars.I had left Mathias, Hunji, Rhett, and Crimson to talk strategy. I knew everything I needed to know. The males on the other hand felt it imperative to
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 24 – Eririat
HUNJI The sounds and smells came rushing back to me, memories resurfacing. Except this time, they weren’t of a life I had left behind and was ashamed of, but of meeting Morgan and our time together on the second continent. Though the atmosphere was different. It held more of a foreboding than it ever had before. As we made our way to Eririat, the place where I grew up, I watched out the carriage window in silence as we passed through small villages that dotted the outskirts of the main city. Patrons stood outside their houses, not a smile to be seen, or a cheer for their king. Despite the hot sun shining down, it was gloomy and depressing. Something I never thought I would think of Asiarian. The further inland we traveled the more I realized how the presence and threat of the dark army had affected my once home. “What is wrong with everyone?” I finally asked my brother, still watching out the window trying to make sense of the surrounding melancholy of the citizens.
