Chapter 24
The dragon’s voice thundered in her mind, and a shiver ran down her spine. When she opened her mouth to answer, the words caught in her throat. Its gaze engulfed her, and she couldn’t look away.
But then, a hand grasped her shoulder, pulling her back. Emory stumbled and turned to see Dante standing beside her, his face set in a scowl.
“Get back,” he growled at the stranger.
The stranger snarled, his eyes locked on Dante. “Watch yourself, little mouse,” he warned.
Dante didn’t back down. “Stay the fuck away from my mate!”
The stranger hesitated, his eyes flickering back to Emory and she eyed him wondering what had transpired to provoke such an exchange. She could feel something familiar in his eyes, something that made her believe he was Kain.
“Your mate?” he laughed slowly. “She is tethered to you now, yes, but I can assure you she isn’t yours.”

Hunter's Moon Rodyn
Angry and confused, Rodyn sat alone in the prison he knew too well.This hurt him a lot and he wanted retribution, however small. He was an unwitting pawn on a cosmic chessboard, a piece manipulated and moved by forces beyond his control.He got up from the stone table and paced the small room, his claws digging deeper into his palms with each step. The dragon inside him roared in anger, its flames licking at the edges of his consciousness. With a growl, he punched his fist against the wall and a spark of flame ignited briefly before sinking back into the depth of his soul. He wanted to roar, to let the fire out. But he closed his eyes and took a moment to calm himself down, pushing the dragon’s rage back into its cage.It was time to leave Kain’s lair. If the council was going after the Kedar pack, then his pack was next. As if dealing with the gods and their agendas wasn’t enough, he had to deal with Lycans too.They had to get out of

They landed on a cliff overlooking Eclin Tower through a silver portal. With the sky illuminated by a full moon, she could see the King’s Tower stretching into the sky. As Emory watched the city below, she realized it was barely past midnight.Goddess! It had only been hours since she mated with Dante, but it felt like forever.Now that she knew why Aworyn rushed their ceremony and blessed it herself, she was furious. She had drank that portion earlier because she trusted her completely: what a foolish thing to do. Aworyn had betrayed that trust, and Emory shared Rodyn’s desire to punish them.As Kain stepped to her side to watch the moonlight dance over the rolling hills of the city, Emory looked at him. The light cast a soft pale hue on his tanned skin, making it seem almost luminescent. It traced the sharp lines of his cheekbones and jawline, giving him this mysterious, almost ethereal quality.“What’s the plan?” she asked

Emory walked back to the edge of the cliff and sat with legs crossed, staring into the sky. They all had their fights and hers was here; confronting Aworyn or whatever god reared their ugly head. She needed answers and her memories returned. Emory knew it was perhaps a foolish thing to confront a god especially when her powers were still limited. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had to do something now. Dante… Rahl didn’t need her and neither did Rodyn nor Kain. As she sat there, her mind raced with all the possible outcomes of her actions. Would Aworyn even tell her the truth? Or would she let her ego, like every damn god, get in the way? She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, focusing all her energy and willpower on summoning Aworyn. At first, nothing happened. Emory sat there for what felt like hours, waiting for some Aworyn. But just as she was about to give up, she felt a powerful presence begin to stir around her. Slowly, Emory opened her eyes, and there in

“There's no way you weren’t trained by Kinshra.”Her mind jumped back to the present when Rahl said that. He should be with the council, not here.“What?” Her arm throbbed in pain, and her thoughts were jumbled, making it difficult to concentrate. “What are you doing back here?” she asked, an edge of suspicion in her voice.“I couldn’t leave you here. Especially after Kathleen summoned the king’s warriors. I had to make sure she didn’t do anything foolish.”“Oh.” She groaned.“You didn’t answer me,” he said. “It’s hard to believe someone with your skills wasn’t trained by Kinshra. Was that a lie to stop the tournament?”A sharp pain shot through her shoulder as she shook her head. “No, it’s not a lie,” she said, her voice strained. “Kinshra never trained me.”His eyes narrowed. &ld

Emory’s heart raced when his lips touched hers; they were fierce and demanding. It was impossible not to respond, her desire growing stronger with every passing minute. But she knew they had to focus on the many things at hand, even as she lost herself in the moment. She pulled away, her breathing ragged. “Wait,” she said. “We have a lot to do.” His expression was serious as he looked at her. “I know,” he said. “But if we’re being honest, this is top of the list.” Taking a cautious step away from him, she licked her lips and eyed him. “Rahl.” “Lady Chavére,” he said with a smile and stepped forward after her. “I’m not making you uncomfortable, am I?” “We both know you know the answer to that.” Emory eyed him, then turned towards the stairwell as she sensed Sabine closing in. Rahl followed her gaze, watching until Sabine came into view at the top of the stairs. Gasping, she bolted down to them. Sabine held her shoulders and looked at her. “Are you okay?” she asked. “I’m ok.”

Emory quickly turned off the shower and reached for a towel, wrapping it tightly around herself before stepping out. Aworyn stood in the corner of the bathroom, her tall, angelic figure spellbinding in the tiny space. Those green eyes stared into Emory’s. Although she couldn’t help but be enamoured by Aworyn’s beauty, Emory snapped out of her reverie quickly. “What do you want?” she asked in an icy tone. She stepped forward. “I know you have a lot of questions, doubts, and possibly even anger towards me. But please hear me out. There are things you need to know.” Emory’s grip on the towel tightened as conflicting emotions surged within her. A part of her yearned for answers, for closure about the mysteries surrounding her life. But a part of her, still haunted by past betrayals, wanted her to punish Aworyn. Aworyn had blocked out memories starting on her sixteenth birthday, and even though they were returned she couldn’t make sense of some of them. Aworyn’s plans had been in motio

Kain’s lips pressed against Emory’s neck, sending shivers up her spine. She leaned into his touch, her senses awakening to their electrifying connection.

Emory let out a deep sigh as Kain’s lips trailed down her collarbone, her breathing becoming more laboured with every passing second.His hands slipped under her robe to explore the contours of her body. They glided along her curves, leaving a trail of fire in their wake.

“From this day forward, you are Keeper of the Realms.”She watched as he put the crown on her head and stepped back with a bow before they all disappeared. Emory squeezed her eyes shut, her head throbbing from an unpleasant sensation.Are you alright?Rahl’s voice echoed through her mind and dispelled the unease within a split second. Nodding, she looked at him, fascinated by his ability to calm her heart no matter where she was.Is this over? I need to discuss something with you.He immediately got up and walked to her. After he helped her off the throne, he gave the council and officials a head bob that made them spread out.“The monarch and queen of the mighty Empire of Morrian will now lead the procession around Eleadoi,” the officiant announced, and the hall rose.At the bottom of the stairs, Crixus and his men lined up beside Sabine and the red flock; their attire matched Rahl’s. On their way down the aisle, Emory couldn’t help but glance at Rahl.As Rahl moved, the cream fabric
