[Sephora]

In the weeks that followed after Sephora and Ambrose returned from The Seer, both Joe and Ravyn had managed to recruit over 300 new soldiers for Ambrose's army. Sephora herself thought that was a lot of men, but according to both Ambrose and Joe - it wasn't a lot of men at all. Not when Vince's army, accompanied with Lord Daemon's, totaled up to over 35,000 soldiers. Whereas Ambrose had only 10,000, after the attacks on the veil-stones and the defense of Lord Silas' lands. They were grossly outnumbered, and the need for allies was paramount.

So the next time Ambrose and Sephora were in a council meeting - she had finally grasped how the politics and procedures of the court worked - Sephora came up with an idea that she finally brought to the table.

"The Assembly of Lord's is in two days correct?" She inquired, looking over to Ambrose across the wide circular table. Some of the ministers shuffled in their seats.

They were all very weary of Sephora now, especially since the la

    [Ravyn]Sephora and Ambrose had no idea how much it meant to Ravyn to have this particular day to herself. She hadn't been able to have this day to herself in a while, things had become so tense over the years, and Ambrose had needed her skills and information more than ever. But today... today she could take her time to do what she needed to do.It was Ravyn's birthday. Not that she'd ever tell anyone else that, nor did it really matter - Ravyn stopped aging the day she reached maturity at 21. And that had been over a century ago.No, Ravyn didn't care that it was her birthday - Ravyn marked it as the day of her mother's death. The day her mother stopped breathing after holding on long enough to give birth to her. No matter how many times everyone told her that it wasn't her fault, Ravyn knew that it was. Her mother had been perfectly healthy, only Ravyn had been too powerful for her mother to keep them both alive, and her mother's heart gave out before she could even lay eyes on her

  • My Alpha From Hell   The Second Assembly

    [Sephora]Once Ambrose and Sephora had finished their preparations for the Assembly, Ambrose decided to take Sephora down to his favourite pub that he'd drag Joe and Ravyn to most evenings. Only to find, that the General and Shadow had already beaten them to it, and we're helping themselves to a large mug of ale as Ambrose and Sephora entered the crowded room. Both Joe and Ravyn waved them over, to join them at their table with wide smiles, so Sephora and Ambrose advanced to meet them.They had almost made it to the table, meandering through couples and groups of dancing and drinking Ardanams, when Sephora noticed that Ravyn was no longer wearing her fighting leathers. Instead she was wearing a beautiful blue dress, with pink and white decorations down the front and along the edges of the skirts. Ravyn looked so stunning, that Sephora had to stop and blink a few moments before joining them at their booth. She wondered what the occasion was to merit such a gorgeous dress to be worn - S

    SephoraFire flickered and entwined around itself and around Sephora as she stood there before the dias. Everyone was cowering in fear, begging some ancient gods to save them from this flaming death that had come to claim them. But Sephora wasn't looking at them up on that dias, the only person that held her attention was smiling at her with so much love and pride it almost threatened to bring her to tears.Ambrose's pine green eyes glowed from the brilliance of her flames as he gaze down at her, and she gave him a slow wicked smile. Their plan had done it's work.Sephora had spent hours with Ambrose those past few days before the assembly. The minister's words had given Ambrose a brilliant idea of how they would prove she was the Pheonix. The Pheonix was a creature of fire, a magnificent bird that flew over the heads of their foes and reduced them to ashes and simmering embers. Sephora had to become that creature, that force of nature. And so, together in the fighting pit, they had s

    Ambrose bristled and ignored the Lord, the same time a familiar face could be seen descending the steps as well - Brigand. Ravyn's mate followed after his Lord. Joe actually waved at the white haired scout with a friendly smile, and Sephora could hardly believe her eyes. They must have settled their differences after all - no wonder things between Ravyn and Joe seemed better."You can trust him," Ravyn suddenly declared from where she stood beside Sephora, her blue eyes locked onto the teleporting Lord. "Lord Vagus' story lines up with everything I saw at Vince's court - it explains why I never saw him and Vince coercing together. Lord Daemon was a prisoner."Lady Valda still didn't look convinced, "Hmm." She narrowed her dark eyes at the Lord - a look that would send most people running in the other direction. But Lord Daemon gazed right back at her, his face almost forming a smirk."Not to worry, Lady," He goaded, "I'm sure you'll be keeping an eye on me to make sure I behave." His e

    Sephora smiled at the sea of faces, their eyes all filled with steel and hope. A bastion of flame before the darkness, that is what they would be. Together they had a chance to save her family back in the Mortal world. Overwhelming joy filled Sephora's heart, the same time Ambrose's hand slid into hers once again and he gave her a gorgeous smile. Sephora reciprocated it with a grin of her own, before together they descended the steps into the waiting crowd of people.The Lords and Ladies gathered before Ambrose and Sephora. Brigand with them, along with Joe and Ravyn and even Governor Hans stood, unsmiling, next to Lance and Megan. The latter still giving the Governor looks that could kill, and Lance smirking at the sight.Sephora bowed her head in greeting and thanks to all the Ardanams gathered before her. Without their support, they had no hope against Vince.Lady Valda gave Sephora a wicked smile in return and despite her original suspicions about the mysterious winged female, Sep

    Lady Valda smiled but it didn't reach her eyes, "As wonderful as that sounds, someone needs to lead our armies to keep Vince's forces away from the Veil-Stones." Her dark gaze bore into Sephora, "Some of us simply aren't strong enough to take Vince on. Even if we were the greatest team fate could have provided - which we are not," She pointed a glance toward Daemon, who smirked, "It wouldn't stop him from overpowering us one-by-one. I'm not here to commit suicide, Majesty, I'm here to win a war."Sephora nodded, "I appreciate that, Lady Valda." She paused, considering, taking in all the female had said. Then looked up again to speak, "Lady Valda, Lord Rhonan, Lord Silas - I suggest you lead the armies against Vince's forces."Lord Daemon straightened, looking slightly alarmed, until Sephora quickly added, "Lord Daemon, you will be needed for communication between us - we need to know what is happening and of any updates that occur during the battle."The Lord instantly relaxed his sho

  • My Alpha From Hell   tomorrow

    Ambrose shuffled uncomfortably under the Lady's gaze. And Sephora would have been happy to simply watch him squirm, but the male host of the Assembly had now taken to the stage, announcing that the Assembly was over and everyone should head home.Sephora's heart fell, they still had so much to plan and organise... But tomorrow was another day, and she had to remember that it was still a lot to take in for some people - so much had happened in just a few hours.Sephora said her goodbyes to Lance and Megan, wishing them well and hoping to see them again soon. Lord Rhonan and Victoria left without another word to either Sephora or Ambrose - they didn't take it personally, though Sephora was seriously questioning what Ambrose's definition of 'old friend' was from Lord Rhonan's behavior toward them. Lord Silas mumbled his farewell to Ambrose, and Sephora was finally formally introduced to Ravyn's mate, Brigand."I'm so happy that you two sorted everything out between you." Sephora said to

  • My Alpha From Hell   A Rude Awakening

    Sephora drifted in and out of sleep that night. Eventually waking blurry-eyed next to Ambrose, still sound asleep beside her - his large arms wrapped around her like a protective barrier against them and the world. Here was home, here it was safe and warm. She had never felt so content in all her life than in that moment with her mate's arms around her, sleeping softly, so peaceful.It was still dark outside and the birds seemed to be squawking up a racket outside, though Sephora was so disorientated from the lack of sleep that she couldn't decipher their songs at all. She slowly turned over in the bed to face the panel of windows, her eyes and ears finally adjusting - when the sights and sounds around her became terrifyingly clear.A mighty crack exploded from outside, from what might have been the sound of the earth being cleaved in two, followed by a deafening blow of thunder that shook the entire room.Sephora jerked upright in bed, Ambrose's arm still wrapped around her waist.

  • My Alpha From Hell   Epilogue

    The seven of them stood around the twin pyres in silence, watching the flames climb high into the sky, the wood splitting and crackling under the heat. The yellow of the flames reflected in each of their faces, sorrow and loss weighing down their steady gazes.Lady Valda's eyes were ringed with red once again, only this time the tears did not fall - she would never cry in the presence of Lord Rhonan, regardless of how she felt toward Lance and Megan. No, she had already cried in front of Sephora and Lord Daemon when she'd come out from seeing the healer, and that had been enough for the Winged Lady.There had been worry as to why her wing still hadn't healed 12 hours after she'd been hit by Vince's spear of darkness. Turns out he hadn't just shot through her bone in her wing, but through some vital arteries as well. Her accelerated healing had stopped her from bleeding out altogether, but in doing so had stopped the blood getting to the important muscles in her wing that helped her to

    AmbroseHis body trembled, his grazed and bloodied hands shaking. He wasn't entirely sure how he was still standing, not just from the exhaustion in his body, but from what he'd just witnessed - what his mate had just done.He'd been battling with Vince relentlessly, the sly devil had always been quick where he might have lacked power. But where Vince lacked power in his physical side - he'd more than made up for in his tactics and the strength of his Soulborn power. That hideous darkness had hit Ambrose again and again, obliterating several of his obsidian shields before Ambrose could even get close enough to scratch the dark Lord.And all the while, Ambrose had been bellowing for Sephora down their bond. Trying to warn her about the shard of veil-stone, that it would kill her, that he couldn't lose her again, not again. He could endure anything else but losing her.Because if Sephora died, there was nothing to stop this new side of Ambrose dying as well - the side that only his mate

    SephoraHer plan had worked. She had poured every ounce of fear and love and anger, every shred of her heart and soul into that shard of stone in her hands as she gave a mighty roar.The blast of her power being unleashed rippled across the crowds, people crying out and wailing in terror, just as that shimmering wave of atmosphere began to descend over the town. Only to be stopped by a blazing sheild of fire. The same sheild of fire she'd once used to stop Ambrose from falling to his death by the cove, Sephora now used it to sheild her family and her people from that toxic Igritann atmosphere.A small part of her trembled though, at the knowledge of what she was doing, at what she was sacrificing for her people. She knew she'd never be able to see her family again, but to loose Ambrose after all that had happened...Sephora's heart bled at the thought, but grit her teeth and continued to pour her soul into that stone. This was bigger than just herself and her mate, this was about the f

  • My Alpha From Hell   The Dawn

    Sephora let out a piercing scream of grief and rage as she watched that pink red Veil slowly ripple away like a wave drawing back into the sea. All sense and reason vanished from her mind as her knees buckled from beneath her and the world swayed from under her feet.She vaguely heard Ambrose roaring from behind her, followed by the clashing of steel. Lady Valda was crumpled in a heap on the bloodied ground, Lord Daemon's face was pale as he ran for her. Ravyn was still crouched over Joe, blood continuing to gurgle from the General's chest, his lips turning a feint shade of purple.But none of that mattered now.With tears streaming down her face, Sephora burst into a sprint with all her strength, toward the broken remains of the Veil-Stones.Massive, pale opal-like boulders and rocks lay scattered everywhere, armoured limbs left slightly exposed beneath them from where Ambrose's men had been too slow to get out of the way. Sephora ran

  • My Alpha From Hell   Darkest Hour

    [Ambrose]The Lord of mountains sprinted toward the dark Lord with a earth rumbling growl. Not even waiting for Sephora to give the order to attack, before Ambrose was summoning spears of diamond and obsidian to his hands and hurling them with all his immortal strength.Vince had barely enough time to respond, before his grey eyes went wide and he dodged, summoning shields of black mist to block the oncoming attacks. After 500 years of knowing each other, they both knew how each other moved, knew how powerful each other's Soulborn power was.So it was hardly a surprise to see the fear flickering behind the dark Lord's eyes, hidden carefully behind that serpentine grin of his. He knew what Ambrose was capable of doing, knew what kind of terrors he could achieve with his power.Ambrose was barely holding that side of him at bay. The mere sight of Vince, already stirring his rage into something dark and wild.Punches and cannon balls of flame shot past Ambrose, their heat and intensity en

  • My Alpha From Hell   The Final Stand

    [Ravyn]The Shadow of Queen Sephora Beltane and Lord Ambrose Stone, laughed as she thrust both her blades into the stomachs of Vince's soldiers, not even waiting for their corpses to fall, before she moved onto the next. She was a whirling mist of death and fury. Fighting for her freedom, her people, an entire race who had no idea just how much the Queen loved them. And now, they stood a chance at winning - now the odds didn't look so impossible.Reinforcements had come. They had finally come, and boy - did Lady Valda train her legion well.Winged warriors, male and female alike, dropped from the skies like fallen angels. Scooping up grown men into the air, taking off and dropping them like a stone, or barreling them into a group of dark soldiers. Their incredible feathered wings tucked in tight, as some of them wielded swords or spears, their movements swift and graceful, despite the weight on their backs. They were a force to be reckoned with.It fired up Ravyn's own spirits enough,

  • My Alpha From Hell   From All Sides

    [Sephora]The sky was still darkened with what seemed like a cloud of infinite smoke and death. The tidal wave of Vince's men continued to slam into Sephora and Ambrose's defenses. Though they were holding strong, a line of silver holding back the inky black darkness - the line was beginning to crumble and the men were starting to tire. They couldn't hold this up forever, something had to give.But they had no reinforcements. No reinforcements were coming to their aid.Over the sounds of battle cries and the screams of dying males and females, Sephora tried to wrap her mind around what that meant about the fate Veil-Stones. And more importantly, what it would mean for her family's fate, the fate of the Mortal world.Neither could she think of a solution. Those extra armies were all they had as a plan of defense, and now...Sephora's bloodied hands began shaking again, that familiar fear and hopelessness was beginning to paralyze her once again. New doubts began swimming around in her

    Because if that sheild was broken, there was nothing stopping Vince from getting to the stones, and all it took was for one stone to be destroyed and the Veil would come down."Tell me what you're thinking."Ravyn turned her head to find Joe's powerful dark eyes focused on her, his face open in question, but his brow evidently laced with worry and nerves.The Shadow had to fight to form words, since her tongue had become leaden with anxiety. "I'm worried for Sephora and Ambrose." She confessed, surprised that she'd chosen to be honest with the General for once.Even Joe seemed to be surprised, his eyebrows raising a little, before forcing a light smile, "And what about me - you're not worried about me?"Ravyn couldn't help but roll her eyes, "No, I'm definitely not worried about you."Joe chuckled, "So cold, even to the end." His mouth twitched with laughter, but his smile didn't quite reach his eyes. "And what if I was to die tragically, heroically killed in battle? Would you still n
