Thanks for reading, beasties.
[Kian]One by one, the rest of the inheritors in the Blank Space teleported into the throne room.There were a total of sixteen inheritors in the room now. Three parts of his soul were already in my body.“My other parts?” His eyes skimmed over the inheritors as he walked past them.“My lord…” Edith stepped forward timidly. “We have collected twenty universal designs. We found nineteen inheritors who manifested the fragment of your souls within themselves and we are yet to find the inheritor for you 20th universal design we have—”“Where…” He interrupted her, contemplating the inheritors. “Where is my heart? Who has manifested my heart?”Edith looked around, panicking slightly.“Did you find an inheritor for my heart?” He asked darkly.“W-we did, my lord,” she gulped hard, lowering her gaze. “It was difficult to find the heart inheritor. We thought we lost your heart forever. The heart design was destroyed twelve years ago by a wizard named Gilbert Drownlord. He killed himself and eve
[Carys] Aamna inhaled sharply, returning to life. Sharp, desperate gasps filled her lungs once again as she squirmed on the floor. Crawling closer to her, I turned her on her back and loosened her clothes. Panting, her eyes hovered in the air around me as though she failed to recognize me. Her face was pale, unconscious and her heartbeats weak, but her pulse had returned. She was gradually returning to consciousness. Covering my mouth with my hand, I watched her, dumbfounded for a few seconds, before I turned to Jackson. “Jackson…” I called out to him, my vision turning misty. Wincing, he looked at me with confused eyes, the same as Aamna. “Oh, goddess…” Just by looking at him, I could tell that even though his pulse had returned, if we didn’t take him to the hospital soon, he wouldn’t make it. I glanced at Kian’s mother on the throne. She was still unconscious and needed medical attention. She was hurt because of me. Scrubbing the tears off my eyes, I took a deep breath. I
[Carys]“Kian…”Icy panic struck every movement of my body as I tried to free myself from Christian’s grip, who held me back.It seemed as if I had teleported into a trance where it was just me and Kian in that throne room. Everything and everyone else had turned into a white blur. And the time seemed to have slowed down.Kian kept going farther and farther away from me. Before I could chase him, I tripped and fell on the ground.“Kian…”I jerked away Christian’s hands and sprinted towards Kian. I was probably screaming his name or crying, perhaps sobbing. I couldn’t tell. At that moment, I wasn’t aware of myself as much as I yearned to be aware of him. To read his soul, to know that he was still there.The chaos and the screams around me drowned in a ringing silence. It was a kind of silence where I failed to hear my own voice.“Carys!” Christian seized my wrist and yanked me roughly against himself. He enclosed me from behind, his arms locking around me in an urgent attempt to stop
[Carys]Mizkeal’s fangs merely scraped my skin, a sharp sting and pulsating heat lingering on my neck before he withdrew.Blood trickled down to my collarbone, his tongue tracing the path as he planted a reluctant kiss on the cut.Stripping Kian’s jacket off my body, he leisurely trailed his fingers down from my ear to my neck. He wrapped his hand around my throat, pressing gently over the throbbing vein and my windpipe. With deliberate slowness, he glided his searing finger over the curve of my neck, my skin streaked with cold sweat. Goosebumps shot down my entire body, caging all my breaths in my lungs with my relentless heartbeats.A shuddering gasp emerged in the back of my throat when he slid the string of my white dress down my shoulder.His tongue trailed along my neck, the cool air brushing against my exposed skin, sending a shiver down my spine. Knitting my brows, I struggled against the brand’s control, but my mind was delirious.I kept looking for Kian somewhere in his war
[Carys]I kept defending us from Mizkeal, channeling Bond’s power through Christian and Morana.Controlling the Bond, I concentrated on channeling it directly towards Morana, but Christian attracted most of Bond’s energy like a magnet.I narrowed my eyes, analyzing the pattern.Why was Christian attracting the energy better?Could it be that I was directly bonded to him in some way?If so then…I looked towards Illumi, Nulzar and Edith and veered a portion of Bond’s energy towards all of them. Nulzar’s body glowed brighter than Edith’s and Illumi.I widened my eyes, the realization sinking in like shards of glass in my chest. My heart pounded faster against my ribs as I snapped my head towards Mizkeal.I stopped channeling the energy towards Nulzar and directed it back towards Christian. Morana was able to harvest Bond’s powers better through Christian.It looked as though I could use the Bond without losing control over it or risking the lives of everyone around me, after all. But fo
[Carys]“W-what happened!?”I tried to wrench myself out of Christian’s grip, but he just tightened it even more, stopping me from sprinting towards the other passages that hadn’t closed yet.“Kian! What did they do to him? Let go of me, Christian!” I growled, glaring at him.“He’s not Kian! Kian would never hurt you!”“He is Kian!” I yelled, boring my gaze into him and, with determination, jerked his hands off my shoulders.I hadn’t even taken a step closer to the passage that was about to close when Christian grabbed my wrist, yanking me away from it until it fully disappeared.“What the hell!” Turning around, I slapped Christian across his face.Christian clenched his jaws, his grip still unyielding.“He is not Kian…” he said in a strangely calm tone. “You should not go back in there. He is going to kill you. And if Kian was here, he would want me to stop you, and that’s what I’ll do.”I clenched my fists.“Don’t talk as if Kian is dead,” I grunted through my gritted teeth. Tears b
[Carys]Before I could counter him, Alpha King was teleported to the hospital right after his declaration of war.I couldn’t sit still and wait for them to kill Kian.I entered the AAC dungeons where AAC imprisoned Illumi and Edith under heavy magical security. The dragon officials had taken back Nulzar to the land of dragons. The Guild from Xafran had taken the wizards, witches, elves, and the others who were involved in the incident.And the number of people being imprisoned was constantly increasing.Everything had happened overnight. ACC invaded Blank Space, opening portals all over the place and capturing everyone they found in there. Special forces were planted all around the floating pyramid and Kian to monitor him and the lunar seal.The team keeping an eye on Kian sent Liam hourly reports on the condition of the seal, and the preparations for the war were quickening just as fast. The meaning was clear: the lunar seal was weakening faster than they anticipated.Meanwhile, I wa
[Carys]“Obviously. So? You are gonna play difficult or make deals or trade. What do you want?” I asked.Illumi chuckled.“Nothing, honestly,” he shrugged.“You don’t wanna get out of here?” I asked.“This prison has good food and a warm floor. What more do you want from life?”I frowned as he peered at me with a smile.“I need to know the end of this. I need to know everything you know!” I stepped closer to the bars of his cell.“You are a Zeke, miss Elffire. You already know everything you need to know to reach the end of all this. You already have all the answers, everything you need to stop the fae lord.”I knit my brows, squinting my eyes.“What do you mean?” I asked plainly.“Have you heard about karma, miss Elffire?”“Yes.”“No one in this universe can escape karma. Not even your moon goddess. She can delay her trial, but she cannot escape it. Her karma would find a way to her. It has found a way to her through us. Us who are mere puppets of the universe.”“What are you playing

[Carys]“At the conclusion of this meeting, this is my final verdict in compliance with the vote of other alphas — the Autumn pack will not be dissolved. As proposed by the Gamma Mic of Autumn pack, the Autumn pack will be run under emergency conditions with the gamma assuming the beta’s position and upholding the pack. The rank of the alpha of the Autumn pack will remain empty until Alpha Joshua’s child is born. AAC will assist the Autumn pack at every stage of recovery.” I didn’t attend the meeting, but turns out Verity had other ways to have a peek into everything that happened in the conference hall. “Edith Percy Nightfall’s punishment will be postponed until and after the heir of the Autumn pack reaches the age of five. She will be convicted like everyone else who was responsible for the Blank Space incident. Until then, she’ll remain under AAC’s surveillance.” I let out a sigh. “As per Alpha Dominic’s request, the Spring pack will monitor and take care of Edith Percy Nightfal
[Carys]Hoot!Snow White perched herself on Kian’s chest.“Kian’s soul has sustained severe injuries, Carys,” Moratia said. “It will take years for him to recover. The Bond that remains in his soul will help in his recovery. Keep Snow White close to him. She’ll help feed him the spiritual energy he needs through this mist. We are taking Mizkeal’s soul with us.”She looked at Death. Death turned his face towards Moratia and gave a slight nod.I lifted my gaze and looked at Moratia. The Ravens and crows that ripped Mizkeal’s soul away from Kian had long disappeared into the dark portal with his soul. The portal revolved behind Death’s divine yet haunting figure. His face was covered with a skull mask.He turned towards the portal and stretched out his hand towards Moratia. She glanced at me and smiled.“Thank you for everything, Carys,” she said before she turned around and looked into his eyes before placing her hand in his. They walked into the dark portal. Once their figures were e
[Carys]Moratia slowly looked around to see Alpha King and Liam standing near the borders with their army. After all the destruction Mizkeal caused, it was only logical for him to take things in his hand.Levi stood beside them, staring at us. I could tell by the look on his face that he tried his best to hold Alpha King back, but couldn’t. The same look was on Verity’s face.Verity tried to run towards us when Alpha King ordered one of his soldiers to take her away from the battlefield.Nox stood with the other members of the SW, looking frantically around the battlefield. He was clearly looking for Morana.Morana and Christian had fallen into the mist together, but I hadn’t seen them after that. I could only hope that they were ok.Dominic and Ash walked through the crowd of soldiers to the front-lines, taking in the situation.Of course, all of them felt the horror of Mizkeal’s wrath.“Brother!” My eyelids fluttered towards Aamna as she tried to cross the borders and come to our si
[Carys]I could feel everything Moratia felt.All the centuries of life, love and death flashed in her soul.Her soul was elated to see Mizkeal again, and the way he recognized her again filled her with hope, but it didn’t take long to shatter. Somewhere in him, she yearned to find the man she fell in love with. The prince who taught her how to live.But neither was Mizkeal the same, nor was his love for her. The pure love that a fae price once had for her had turned into a madness of a fae lord. He loved her, yes. But in a constant fear of losing her and that kind of love leads to desperation. And that desperation had blinded Mizkeal.I could actually understand the reason behind his desperation because I was desperate, too. I was desperate to save Kian, bring him back, and I was ready to do anything that could make that possible.Marrying him or not marrying him would depend on Moratia. And I knew whatever she chose would affect me significantly, so I had to brace myself for whateve
[Mizkeal]I didn’t care what happened inside me. I used every ounce of my soul for this last attack.The world could end at its own accord, but…I shifted my glare at Carys.To end her was my right.Peering at me, she got to her feet. Holding my gaze, she stood calmly amidst the exploding ground around her. She licked her lips before taking a deep breath.She smiled gently and shut her eyes, allowing the tears welled in her eyes to trail down her beautiful face.I landed on the ground. Dust and debris of the ground blasted all around us as I strutted towards her.I grabbed her wrist and yanked her closer, barely holding back my rage.The chimes of her crown jingled louder than the exploding earth, sending goosebumps all over my body.“Open your eyes…” I commanded in a slightly shivering tone.I grabbed her upper arms tighter.“Open your eyes!” I snarled at her.She shook her head, her lips trembling as she took in a shuddering breath through her tears.“Carys!”“You know my name, my p
[Mizkeal]Christian held back his groan, gritting his teeth as he glared at me with bloodshot eyes.“Why is everyone so stubborn here?” I sighed. “Well, pain is a choice, and you chose not to show it. I respect that.”“Shove that respect up your ancient ass and get out of my best friend’s body,” he growled, glaring right into my eyes.I chuckled wryly. “You have a strange sense of humor. How does it feel to be in that head of yours, to have a tongue sharper than your claws? There is no real damage you can do to me.”Christian laughed obnoxiously. “That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.”“Oh! Have you ever heard yourself?” I taunted back.Morana let out a titter with a smirk spread across her lips.I shifted my gaze to Morana, whose calculative eyes analyzed me.She was the one important to me, but I was still not sure if I could absorb my heart and Bond without damaging them both in the process.I couldn’t risk absorbing Bond while she had my heart because then… it could damage
[Mizkeal]As I soared towards the sky, a wave of raging adrenaline pumped through my veins, pounding in my ears.Carys Elffire was playing a dangerous game.She split the Bond in two parts! How the hell did she split it apart?But what I failed to understand was how she got a hold on Bond so quickly. A day ago, she couldn’t even keep its power in control and now she had split it in two?But what I wanted to know was how far she had decoded Bond and its abilities.Bond was far more powerful than before. New elements were added into Bond and I hadn’t had enough time to decipher all of them, either. So, it was important for me to know how much she had deciphered it or altered it.With a swift blow of my mana, I created a squall that tore the mist apart for a few seconds. It gave me enough time to escape.The mist swirled around me, playing with my head, bringing out the memories that were impossible for me to resist or ignore. Despite my efforts, echoes of Moratia’s voice haunted me, blu
[Carys]Parting from Mizkeal, I held his hands in mine.His calculative silver eyes narrowed on our hands before he looked into my eyes, as though he could see my soul.“I know what you are thinking. But I am not here for you,” I said, holding his gaze. “I’m here for Kian because I cannot lose him.”He smirked faintly, his eyes calling me out for being delusional.“If Kian lives on in you, as you… then I agree to that fate,” I said, looking into his eyes. “If his soul is merged in yours, then I’ll love his torn soul through you. If you go beyond that border, Alpha King will do everything in his power to stop you. He will kill my Kian and… I can’t let that happen. So, I’ve stopped them. I lied to them. I told them I can… stop you. But I know I can’t.”Mizkeal narrowed his eyes.“You’ve been madly in love, Mizkeal, with a woman. So, I know you understand my desperation, and this might be the stupidest decision I make for this world, but keeping you safe is the only way I can ensure Kian
