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 He had withdrawn into himself even more since Lamia and Kellen had returned.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

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. Rostam clear

TRAVIS/JANUSI don’t even know why I packed a bag. It wasn’t as if I would need any of it. Still, I keep throwing the essentials and clothing into the large duffle bag. Shoving them in with annoyance.Annoyance, why should I be annoyed? Maybe because I knew this was the last time I would see MacTire. Perhaps.“Are you ready Alpha?” I look up to see Josiah my Beta standing at the opening of my suite. With regret and sadness, I bob my head. I would never be ready, but I had to be. This was my fate, and I couldn’t stay here. I had a job to do.I guess the bag was just for show. Only a handful of people suspected I wouldn’t be making it back after we had faced Aodh. Lamia of course knew and Oliver had his suspicions.What no one knew was the conversation I had with Lamia before she left for Cambiador. I’m not even sure she told Mathias. I was the ace up her sleeve - her and Kellen’s insurance policy.Rhett still had the dagger, but the plan was for me to use it, the way it was always meant
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 26 – Camp
KELLENThe camp had been split into three regiments, each one with a good mixture of warriors from each kingdom. The changelings and any other hybrids or hunters had been sectioned with their own teams. They were to purely concentrate on any monster that was present at the battle.An old man, frail-looking, but with quick steps entered the main tent as I went over the provided maps and strategy Tobias, Rogue, and King Rostam had put together.“King Kellen.” The old man announces, not asks, so I assume he knows who I am.“And you are?” I put down the pen and ruler to measure the distance on the map and gauge the old man who stands at the tent entrance waiting for permission to enter.“I am Chakor, a friend of Hunji’s.” He says with the dip of his head.“The Skinwalker,” I remember Hunji telling us about him. I also remember Tawny telling us he had come to visit her just before her cubs were born. Taking a closer look, I could see his yellow eyes and the telltale sign of crescent-shaped

MORGANIt was no Mint but the herbal supply room in Eririat’s place was well stocked. My fingers lightly ran over all the different herbs, plants, and roots that hung and lay around the large room, looking for specific ones.“You think you can find what you need, young Morgan?” Hunji’s father had led me down here, stating they still stock the herbal room even if it’s not used like it was back in the old days.The old days, meaning before the Lycan wars and the devastation of the human race. When the water supply was poisoned and almost wiped out all humans, that included alchemists, witches to some people.“You know I met your mother once, a long time ago. Before you and young Finnegan were even thought of. Before she met your father.” I turn with surprise and curiosity.I knew the former king had known my father, but I had no idea he had ever met my mother. “What was she like?” curious to know what my mother was like in her younger days.“Beautiful.” He says, his eyes lighting up as h
