Mircea snaps his finger, and the black witch uses her magic on me, making me feel excruciating pain. I clench my teeth and think of Red. It will be over soon. I just need to endure until Tatiana gets to me. Once I am reunited with Red, I will convince her to let me mark her. I am not sure why it is so important, but Tatiana once told me it is of utmost importance to do so. I wonder if it has something to do with my power. It mostly lay dormant. Until I met Red. I am still testing what I can do with it. For now, I learned it can take any shape I want.The pain intensifies with each passing moment. I claw the arms of the chair and bite the interior of my cheeks, the copper taste of my blood filling my mouth. Sweat runs down on either side of my face.My father puts an end to the torture. “Enough.”The witch continues her vicious attack for a few more minutes before stopping.My head falls forward, and I am catching my breath when my father asks, “Will you now do as I asked?”What the he

Bruises and dried blood cover my chest and other parts of my body. How did I get them?The woman, who is wearing a long dark robe, which reminds me of clothes worn by witches in bad movies, pulls out a vial with a strange liquid from one of her many pockets.“Here. Drink this.” She tries to give the vial to me, but there is something about her that makes me distrust her. “I am good,” I politely refuse to drink whatever she is giving me.She scoffs. “It’s a healing potion, not poison.” When I am still skeptical of her intentions, she adds, “It will accelerate your healing. And reduce your fatigue.”Well, it is a healing potion. It is supposed to do that. But how does she know that I am tired? In fact, I am so tired I feel like passing out at any moment.“Who are you?” “A witch.” I meant her name. I look at the vial in her hand. ‘Should we trust her?’ I ask my wolf.‘We should be wary. But if she is right about the potion, then we will be healed soon.’My ribs hurt like hell, and I

Tatiana, the Queen of the Druid Witches. She had been the enemy of Queen Lamia for years. My father puts his hand on top of my shoulder. He still looks angry, but his tone is calm again. “Once the Sword of Nightmares is in our hands, we can defeat Tatiana and everyone that stands in our way. So what do you say, son, will you do as I asked?”I would do anything for my father to show him how grateful I am for everything he has done for me. As for Queen Lamia—I would give my life for her. Although I don’t know why I hesitated when she asked me to pull the Sword of Nightmares from the rock. “I will.” “Good. Good.” My father sounds relieved. Did he think I would refuse?“But how will I get to the Diamond Realm?” I ask because I know that the only portal that connects the Human Realm to Avalon is in the Crescent Moon Pack, and they won’t let me use it just because I tell them I want to participate in the Games. “I will be the one to worry about that. Meanwhile, you will go to The Nether

Slowly, she rises to her feet. Noticing her clothes, or the lack of them—only a skirt of leaves around her waist, her long silver hair covering her chest—I give her some of my clothes. She accepts them. “You must be cold,” I say when she keeps staring at the sweater and pair of pants in her hands. The corners of her mouth twitch. “Since her lackeys conquered this land, you are the second kind person I’ve met.”“Who is her?” The girl looks at me, her white eyes studying me. “You already know. It will come back to you when you kiss the rain.” When I kiss the rain? She makes no sense. She puts her left hand on the tree bark. “When you see him, tell him to look behind the waterfall two nights from now.”Her body starts to blend with the tree.“What are you talking about?” “Who not what. The one that has been brought there against his will. A lie whispered in the guard’s ear made him the most hated person in the Nether Realm. You will find him in The Lastdenn.”The Lastdenn is probabl

I make a stop at the common bathroom before heading to the dining hall. The tables are almost entirely occupied by those who have been training during the day. While most of those who live in the Lastdenn are males, there are a few females as well. They sit together around two tables, eating and chatting. Between the two tables is a male on his knees, dressed in rags, his head low, his gaze fixed on the stone floor. He is so thin, I can see his bones. The ash wood collar around his neck not only tells me he is a slave but a vampire as well.I hate people who have slaves. Are there more, or is he the only one? Tomorrow, I will ask Anan about the slave.I grab my food—which looks like something one would feed the pigs—and search for an empty place to sit so I can eat. One of the males stands, and I take his place. Those around the table ask for my name and then introduce themselves. I barely register what they are saying as the females are laughing very loudly, making my head pound. Aft

“Colt, time to go hunting,” Voros wakes me before the break of dawn. The frigid air inside the house is even colder than the previous night, and the blanket Voros gave me offers minimal warmth. Spending five months in this location will undoubtedly feel like hell. Of all the places a knight can train, why did I have to be sent to this one? A lingering sense of unease settles deep inside me, making me think something is not right. That I might have done something to displease my father and Queen Lamia, but no specific incident comes to mind, no matter how deeply I contemplate it.Not wanting to make Voros wait, I kick the blanket to the side and get up. “If I had known I was being sent to Antarctica, I would have refused,” I vent my frustrations as I slip on my boots and coat.Voros casually takes a sip from his mug. His clothes match his pink hair with apparent intention. “It wasn’t always like this here.” I shoot him a puzzled look.“Don’t tell me it was worse.” Voros snickers. “A

We stop close to the kitchen. Voros scans the area around us, listening for sounds and sniffing the air. “You should not say that name here unless you want to get in trouble.”Anan told me Analise is evil, while Voros warns me not to say anything about her. Interesting. Regardless of who is right, as long as Analise doesn’t interfere with my training, I don’t have a reason to give her a second thought. “How did you meet her?” Voros wants to know. “I gave her some water yesterday, and she mentioned a person who is very hated here. Based on what you said, I think she referred to K, but she never mentioned his name.” “If Analise gave you a message for K, it is best to give it to him.” We quietly enter the kitchen. K is cleaning two big stoves, his back to us. “Need any help?” Voros asks suddenly, startling K.The vampire turns around, his gaze fixed on the floor. “I got this.”He sounds…defeated. Like the life has been sucked out of him.‘If Voros is right about K and him being her

Five months laterAfter breakfast, Anan and I step into the middle of the arena and take our fighting positions.After five months of daily training, I finally became skilled enough with a sword to think I might have a chance to defeat Anan in combat one day. It’s a great achievement, especially after spending the first two or three months covered in bruises since Anan would kick my ass every single time. That is basically our daily routine—meet on the training grounds, a few rounds of him sweeping the ground with me, making me always wonder if he is either very strong or if I lack basic training before he leaves while telling me to do better the next day.My improvement is all due to Voros, who offered to teach me the technique Anan uses. I also learned demons are stronger than werewolves, which explains why Anan can easily defeat me, making me want to prove not only to myself but to everyone else in the Lastdenn that I have what’s needed to win the Games and claim the Sword of Night

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
