Sitting across from Elder Adam, I am trying to convince myself why I should not kill him. At least, not yet.

Raven is pacing inside my head like a lion trapped in a cage. ‘Let me have him!’ he snarls.

‘Patience.’

Raven growls but retreats to the back of my mind.

Elder Adam takes a small sip from his coffee while his cold blue eyes are fixed on me. Since his arrival to the pack and demanding to talk to me, he has yet to utter a word to me. Instead, he has been studying me for the past hour. If not for Rain having to unpack our things, I would not mind Elder Adam’s mind games.

For the first time in years, his presence irritates me, but I concentrate on the thought that tonight I will sleep with my mate in my arms for the first time. In our house. In our bed.

Elder Adam finishes his coffee, and after putting the cup on the table, he finally decides to talk, “You are probably wondering why I am here.”

“Actually, I was wondering when you are leaving.”

“You are as rude as always,” he says.

    “What are your plans now?” Victor asks as I finish another glass of whiskey.Ever since I rejected Rain, my life has crumbled to pieces. Not only have I lost the only female I’ve ever loved and who was fated to me, but I also lost Kevin, who has been my best friend for as long as I can remember.

I understand his pain and anger.All I had to do was listen to Rain and look at the video on her phone. Instead, I hit her, marked her as a betrayer, and rejected her in front of the pack. Then, stupidly got Ruth pregnant.I refill my glass with more whiskey. “We will continue with the search for my father.” That motherfucker deserves to die for what he did to Rain.

    The worst headache in history wakes me up. My head is pounding so hard that I feel like someone is hitting it with a hammer. And my mouth is as dry as the Sahara Desert.The blinds are pulled down, casting shadows around the room, making me wonder what time it is and if Caleb returned home.I try to get out of bed when I realize that I am naked. Where are my clothes? For a moment, I panic, thinking that someone did something to me. That’s when I remember talking to Viki, Sarah, and Cosmina while drinking that special wine. And then… nothing. The question is, how did I go from talking to them to being naked in bed? I will probably have to ask the girls about it, but first, I have to do something about my headache. And I am not the only one with a headache, as I sense Safia having one as well. She retreats to the back of my mind, and I am grateful because, between her pain and mine, for a moment, I was on the verge of crying.The sound of the blinds being pulled up scare the heck out of

    Caleb rubs the back of his neck. “It’s complicated. The Vampire Castle is like a maze of hallways and rooms, and many vampires live there. After my attempt to be killed, the Queen kept me in her room,” he turns around and shows me a long scar on the back of his neck before facing me again, “collared and chained. For months, I was only allowed to get out of the room when I was to provide… entertainment to other vampires. I was not the only male in the Queen’s room. There was another one. Mircea. But he is a story for another time. As for Katherine, the duke was rather eccentric and lived in a mansion next to the castle. Katherine was taken there, and that’s when I lost track of her. When Tatiana got me out, I made myself a promise that I would save Katherine from the hands of the duke, no matter what. Somehow, she was able to escape, and she called me to let me know she is on her way to the pack. We are to meet her at the border.”I wrap my arms around him. “I am sorry for what the vam

    Katherine ignores what I said, takes a bottle from a backpack, and tries to give it to me, but all I can do is glare at her. If not for her and her stupid phone call—I bury my face in my palms and cry. Not even when Jordan rejected me did it hurt this much. It hurts so much, I can’t breathe. Without Caleb, I don’t want to keep breathing …to keep living. Safia is suffering as much as I am.Someone pets my hair, and I snap. “Don’t touch me!” Safia growls.Tristan puts his palm in the air, facing me. “Could you tell me what you saw?”“What do you mean? You were here! You saw how those… those things killed my mate!” I snarl, not being able to contain my anger.The child shifts her weight from one leg to the other. Katherine puts her left arm around her shoulder. “I have a power that can make people see their worst nightmare. My father called it myst. If people are inside it, they see what they fear the most. It can be very real.” She seems to be looking at Tristan. “Father says that my p

    Tristan folds his arms over his chest. “You should have opened a portal for me then, not have me board an airplane! And maybe give me a heads up on what is happening with the feral rogues and the black witches. But no! You had me travel from Siberia all the way to Romania with Sky! Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep her hidden? Safe? Did you know Sinn was waiting for us at the airport? He saw Sky! Not only that, but he also knows that Daphne is her mother. And I am pretty sure he figured out the truth. Do you know what this means?” Tatiana is silent for a few moments before letting out a loud huff. “If not for Sky and her power, I would not be here, and Rain would probably be dead! Or kidnapped as well! I don’t even want to know what would have happened if Sky would have been taken by Sinn!”Behind me, Sky lets out a small whimper. I stroke her arm, just like I saw Tristan do earlier. I never felt connected to pups before, but there is something about Sky that makes me want t

    Conon, Jeremy, Holgar, and Conrad are already inside, waiting for me.Conon is usually funny and cheerful when he talks, but not this time. This time, he sounds worried. “Tell us what happened.”And I do. I tell them everything that had happened. Once I am done, Jeremy and Conrad immediately take care of the security of the pack, while Conon says he will take care of the administrative part of the pack. I sit there on the sofa, looking at them as they plan how to protect the pack, wondering how in the world Caleb fell in love with me. Katherine is right, I am weak and pathetic. Just a stupid Omega that knows nothing about being a Luna or leading a pack.Once the guys finish planning everything, they stop and turn their attention to me.“We didn’t mean to underestimate your authority by not including you in the discussion, Sweet-Cheeks,” Conon says, “but we are still not used to having a Luna.”“It is fine. Even if you included me, I wouldn’t know what to say. I know nothing about this

    Sitting in my favorite armchair, I lazily pet my familiar as I wait for my plan to unfold. For a thousand years, I have waited to put my hands on the Weapons of the Gods. Soon they will belong to me. When that happens, I will conquer realm after realm, kingdom after kingdom, world after world, until I am the God of the Gods.My eyes fall on the man kneeling in front of me. He had spent the last two hours in the same position, waiting for me to acknowledge his presence. And I finally do. “Did you manage to get the Sword of Nightmares?”“Not yet. He is unwilling to pull it out of the stone.”“Torture him until he does what he is told. If that does not work, then threaten to kill his daughter!”He presses his lips into a thin line. “About that, she got away.”I smash my fist on the table next to me, making my familiar hiss before jumping down from my lap.Why is it that I am always surrounded by incompetent fools?“At least tell me you got your hands on the black wolf.”He shakes his head

    There is a reason why there is only one way to get to the Diamond Realm—the portal from the Crescent Moon Pack—a reason that I found out by mistake when I once heard Jordan’s parents talk about it. Being the King or Queen of the Diamond Realm is more of a curse than a blessing.Jordan shrugs and sits across from me. “Who knows? Rain….” He slides his hand across the cold surface of the desk, his fingers brushing against mine. I jerk my hand away and put it on my lap.“I think you should return to your pack,” I say as I open the laptop. “I have a Luna class to attend too, and you have a pregnant… companion waiting for you.”“I hate myself for rejecting you.” He sounds sad. “For not listening to you.”I don’t have the time or energy to wrap my head around Jordan’s feelings when I am trying hard to keep my composure. The box weighs heavily in my pocket, and I don’t know how to save Caleb.Tatiana will have to stop her search, and maybe then the feral rogues will set Caleb free, or at leas

    Ever since the feral rogues tricked us into believing Caleb was dead, grief like I’ve never felt before threatened to overpower me. Katherine is the only thing that kept me sane. Along with helping Conrad take care of the pack and keeping an eye on Rain and Sky, I was exhausted at the end of the day, and by the time my head hit the pillow, I would fall into a deep sleep, only to start again the next day.Being apart from Katherine added another level of pain to my grief, but her returning the same day Tatiana let everyone know Caleb was alive still has my heart dancing with joy inside my chest. Tatiana visited the pack while Katherine and I were preparing for our date and let everyone know what had happened to Caleb. Everyone wanted to come and see with their own eyes that Caleb was alive and well, but it wasn’t possible. My arm snakes around Katherine’s waist, her slender body molding after mine. Caleb’s joke didn’t sit well with her. It doesn’t really bother me since Caleb and I a

    I chuckle. “She did. I would be dead if not for my amazing soulmate.” I look around for Red. She is behind me. It’s wrong. She should be by my side, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, soul to soul, as my soulmate, as my Queen, as my everything. I take her hand into mine and guide her in front of me so that everyone will know that she is the most important person present. “Tristan, this is my soulmate, Rain. And the one clinging to you is my daughter, Sky, but I have a feeling you already know this.”Tristan looks at Sky, who glances up at him with silver eyes, similar to mine. “How could I not know when she carries part of your scent? Daphne told me everything. I see Sky as my flesh and blood, but I made sure she knew who her real parents were.” This is why Sky said she wanted me as her dad the moment we met because she suspected who I was to her? ‘How could she not know when she looks like you? Except for the hair color. That one she got from Daphne.’ Now, that Raven mentioned

    Being a slave for the Cosaci Vampires reduced me to a shell of my former self. I lost count of how many times I begged all the gods and goddesses out there to let me die. The only reply I’ve ever received is silence. Even the Moon Goddess deserted me as if I wasn’t worthy of her help. In the vampire castle, I was alone in my suffering. Most of the other slaves loved to taunt me, especially the Omegas, because it granted them favors with Sinn or his monster of a mother, Queen Lamia. Not all slaves wanted to be in Sinn’s good grace. Katherine was the only one who risked her life to take mine and set me free. Not all vampires took great pleasure in tormenting me. Daphne, despite being Sinn’s sister, was nothing like her brother or mother. She was more like her brother. Like Tristan. He has been my light in my darkest moments, my friend when I needed one, the brother I always wanted. When my adoptive father sold me to the vampires, Tristan was the only one who never tried to drink m

    I follow Esyn as I try to memorize the scents of those working here. It would be so much easier if I could see their faces, but there’s no cure for face blindness. The palace is so big it feels like a maze. The entire pack could live here, and there would still be empty rooms. Caleb and Conrad should consider it. The pack would follow Caleb anywhere. It takes us several minutes to get to the Royal Wardrobe. “This is…huge,” I say as I stand in the doorframe and look at clothes displayed on mannequins. “Queen Sera loved clothes. When the place was built, King Aris requested that an entire floor be turned into a wardrobe. He wanted to fill it with all sorts of gowns he designed especially for Queen Sera,” Esyn explains. “Their love must have been something special,” I say. “It was,” Esyn agrees. A long one-shoulder lavender tulle dress catches my eye. The soft tone should look good on me. Noticing the dress I’m looking at, Esyn says, “You will look very lovely dressed in it.” I

    I let out a sigh of relief. “That room just saved my life,” I say, making Caleb laugh softly. “There’s something I wanted to ask you. You mentioned a vampire, K. Do you think he is Kain?” Caleb falls silent while he thinks. “I think he is,” he finally replies. How could Kain have ended up as a slave in another realm? Wasn’t he going to find his mate, Elly? “Your friend, Voros, got Kain out, right?” I ask, concerned about Kain.Caleb’s scent changes again, this time to shock. “Voros. How could I have forgotten about him?” he wonders. “Yes. By now, Voros and Kain should be far from the Nether Realm.” “Good. Good,” murmurs slip past my lips. “We should find out what happened to them.” “If everything went according to plan, Voros and Kain are in the Ruby Realm, home to the Dacian Vampires.” My hands slide to Caleb’s chest, and I tap it with my right forefinger. “Unknowingly, you might have secured your friendship with the Dacian Vampires. You also count on the help of the Druid Witch

    Despite going through so much, Caleb’s endurance and resilience are beyond anything I’ve ever seen. He is not only the male fated to me and the one I trust completely, but he’s also my hero. Everything that had happened to him made him into who he is today.I’m determined to prove, not only to him but to myself as well, that we are meant to be together not because the Moon Goddess decided so or because of the love and friendship that binds our hearts together but because we are equals. There’s so much I need to learn about the Diamond Realm. As the future Queen of this nation, I must give my all. My stomach churns as I think of all the implications that come with such a title. I don’t know how Caleb can be calm about it. Safia suggests that maybe he had some time to get used to the idea.I chew my bottom lip before I reply to Caleb’s question. He won’t like my reply, but he deserves the truth. “The pack is fine. We had some problems a while ago, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Conr

    My hand stills on Red’s back as I reminisce about the past. When I fall silent as I remember my fight with the one trapped in the sword, my soulmate and love of my life says, “You won the right to use the Sword of Nightmares from the god trapped in the blade.” She has no idea how right she is about that.“Something along those lines.” It’s too complicated to explain what happened after I was absorbed in the sword. To be frank, I don’t think I understand everything myself, but Red is right, I was given the right to use it. “What happened after?” she asks. I drag the loofah sponge across her back, my gaze on her tattoo, wondering why it appeared on her skin, and say, “I think you already know. Not long after I pulled out the sword and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was the heir to the throne and a descendant of Queen Sera and King Aris, I saw you fighting with…” A crease forms between my brows as I fall silent, thinking of the day I first saw Red in the Diamond Realm. “My

    Each week, there’s a different test, each one harder than the next; more contestants fail them. Fortunately, just as the doctor predicted, I made a full recovery from the silver poisoning. My biggest opponent is the one with the green mask. So far, he’s the judges’ favorite. I prefer not to draw attention to myself, so I can sit in the back and observe all the contestants and learn their weaknesses and strengths. From what Elton told me, the last task involves fighting the remaining contestants, and the last male standing will be the regent. Elton slowly wins my trust and over time, we become friends. After six weeks of entering the Games, after a very difficult test, Elton approaches me. “Sir Colt, I was wondering about your wolf. What color is he?” His question takes me by surprise, and I reply with another question, “Why do you ask?” Elton looks right and left, making sure no one is listening to our conversation. When it’s more than clear that the only ones left in the arena a

    After entering the competition for the next Regent of the Diamond Realm, I spend my time either dreaming about the female with red hair, reading in the Royal Library, or roaming the palace, learning its secrets while I wait for the first task to begin. The tension in the air is high, as each person in the race to become the next regent thinks they deserve to win the Games. It will be fun to see them lose one by one.A week after the Games officially started, the first task takes place—the contestants are tested to see how much they know about the Diamond Realm. A good regent knows the history of this place so he won’t make the same mistakes as his predecessors. Passing the test is more challenging than I thought, testing my knowledge to the fullest. Spending most of my time in the library paid off as I answered most of the questions correctly. Out of fifty contestants, seven fail to answer the minimum number of questions and are sent home. The rest of us pass to the next phase of t
