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

    And now there is nothing.Just… silence.I close my eyes, hoping my mind can conjure up Raven like it always did when I needed him, but there is nothing… just heartache.After I stop shaking like a leaf because of the cold shower, I manage to fall asleep. I wish I didn’t, for nightmares of Caleb being hurt haunt my sleep, and I wake up screaming. My throat feels raw, and I wonder how long I have been screaming.The door opens, and Kevin and Holgar rush inside.“It was just a nightmare,” I say, as they search the room for possible threats. “I am sorry for worrying you.”Kevin nods. “Tatiana is waiting for you in Caleb’s office.”I jump out of bed, thinking she has news of Caleb, forgetting I only have a towel wrapped around me. Kevin turns his back to me, shielding my body from Holgar’s gaze. Not that they can see anything, the towel covering almost everything, but I appreciate them not being creeps.“You might want to put on some clothes first,” he says, as Holgar steps outside the ro

    After my mother is put to rest and everyone returns to their lives, I linger in the small pack cemetery, wanting to mourn in silence. From an early age, I was taught that Alphas never show their emotions in public. I already lost my cool the night I rejected Rain, but as the leader of the Crescent Moon Pack, I can’t let that happen again.Despite our differences, I loved my mother. She did her best to take care of me even when she was sick. My blood boils with anger when I think about how much my father has neglected her when she most needed him under the pretense that he was busy taking care of the pack. But now I know what he was actually doing—molesting my mate.I have sent word to all the packs in Romania about my father, but so far, no one saw him. I will not rest until he is found and punish him with my own hands for everything he did to Rain. She was the best thing that had happened to me, and he made me think the worst of her. I even called her a slut, when she was innocent of

    My footsteps tread quietly over fallen branches and dry leaves. When the portal that connects the Human Realm to the Diamond Realm was created with the help of the four races—dragons, werewolves, witches, and fays—spells were cast upon the Baciu Forest to keep it hidden from humans. During those times, humans hunted and killed paranormal beings under the pretense that they were enemies of the true faith. After many wars, a compromise was reached, and for the general public, we are a myth. But the portal is still being guarded. Not only because it leads to another world but because many other realms are connected to the Diamond Realm, and it would be so easy for those with evil intentions—or who had committed crimes—to disappear and never be found again.As I get closer to the portal, the absolute silence of the forest and the scent of vampires and rogue dragons tells me that something is utterly wrong.‘We are being attacked. The portal is in danger,’ I tell Victor before letting Tita

    Not sure if that will work, but Titan has always been good at strategies, so I trust that he will win this fight.Duncan, followed by Cadell, runs towards the dragons. I watch as the five beasts prepare to use their fire, but Duncan is fast. He is one of the fastest wolves I have seen. Cadell is following Duncan close by, and the two of them are upon the dragons before they can realize what is about to happen.The size of the dragons let me know they are not adults but rather teens, yet to be experienced in the art of fighting. Male werewolves that are in a position of leadership or that will be Enforcers learn about other races and how to defeat them. While Dan hadn’t had that opportunity, his love for his sister had him stay in the pack, he never misses a day of training. He is one of the fighters the pack has.Duncan reaches the dragons, which seem shocked by his boldness. Probably thinking that a wolf is no threat to them, they don’t hurry to kill—their mistake.

    “With what purpose?” To my frustration, Tatiana shrugs. “Without the keys, the portal won’t work.” It’s not like I am giving Tatiana any new information, as the witches helped with its creation.“Without a Luna, how safe are the keys?” she wants to know.“You have your secrets, I have mine. And I will have a Luna soon.” If things go as I want, by the end of the year, Rain will return home—to me.This time, it is Tatiana who frowns. “You are going to marry your baby’s mama?”Victor tries to hide his laughter behind a cough. Fucking asshole.Gritting my teeth in frustration, I say, “Ruth’s pup is not mine. And I won’t marry her. Rain is my mate.”Tatiana seems amused by my statement. “Rain is Caleb’s mate. They are destined to be together.” I stop myself from snorting at the last moment. “As for the pup, I guess you will once he is born.”The way she says it makes me believe that the pup is mine—more the reason to send Ruth away from here. And with the recent attack, coming up with an e

    Hours have passed since I received the second letter from the feral rogues. After showing it to Conon, I fell into a sort of numbness, feeling nothing except for that power inside my chest, and I focused on that. Tristan and Jeremy tried to talk to me, but I replied nothing as I stared at the package. When they finally leave me alone in the office, I cry.Hasn’t Caleb suffered enough at the hands of the vampires? Now he has to endure more torture. And fight for his life when he is missing an arm….What if he loses? I can’t bear the idea of never seeing him again. We were supposed to finally have our happy ending. To have a family. And now… everything is gone.I refuse to think he will never return to me. He has to win! He has too!I bury my face in my palms and silently cry, my heart aching. Safia tries to comfort me, but I can feel her pain. She must be worried sick for Raven, and on top of that, she has to lift my spirit.‘I am lucky to have you as my wolf,’ I tell her. She sends me

    Conon removes his boxing gloves. “When I first heard your name, I thought it sounded familiar. When Tristan finally confirmed the suspicions I had about you, I wanted to kick you out of the pack, but since I am not the one to make that call, I have no other option but to endure your presence. But that doesn’t mean that I like you. So no, I don’t want to box with you. Or even speak with you.”Conon and Caleb are very good friends, and I am sure Conon knows about what Katherine did. But according to Caleb, he was the one to ask Katherine to kill him. But she also took care of him, so it not fair to treat her so poorly.“Whatever,” Katherine says before turning her attention to me. She tries to act like Conon’s words have no effect on her, but her scent tells me otherwise. “What about you?”I am about to tell her that I never boxed before when Blade rushes inside the gym. Behind him are the pack’s children, including Sky. “Black witches and feral rogues are attacking us. They even took d

    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
