[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] “I have made it impossible for him to teleport within the borders of the Neutral Zone, so it is going to be a battle beyond the borders. Our army is ready on the borders and if he tries to break through, we will attack him with all intention of neutralizing him, Carys,” said Alpha King. “This was something Alpha Kian saw coming a long time ago.” “He sure did,” I mumbled, keeping my head low. “I understand what you are going through right now—” “No, you don’t,” I said, peering at my fingers. “No one can understand how I feel. I don’t understand myself either.” Alpha King let out a sigh. “Look, if you can stop him beyond the borders. Like you keep insisting, if you can bring Kian back in that duration, only then can I think of changing my decision,” he said. “But until then… my decision is final.” I nodded. “Let’s be real. You won’t be able to do it alone and there is no way I am sending you out there by yourself. First, I can’t let him take Bond and allow him to get str
[Carys] I glanced at the drone video being broadcasted live from around the borders. Liam had given the army tablet on Alpha King’s order. The gray light of the dawn had sprawled over the dark sky. I examined the rising and falling green and yellow rectangular lines situated in the lower right corner of the tablet. These lines were connected to the mana detectors placed beyond the borders, designed to pick up on the abrupt surge in mana that happens when the passage to the Blank Space opens. So far, the calm within the borders was clashing with the peace beyond the borders of the Neutral Zone. I filled my lungs with a frigid breath, shutting my eyes. We had come to an agreement that as long as Mizkeal didn’t attack, Alpha King wouldn’t attack him either. But I had a strong feeling that after breaking the seal, he would directly come for his land to regain his power and kill the Alpha King. Even I knew it would be stupid to not have an army ready beyond the borders to hold him bac
[Emrys Mizkeal] I stepped away from the ground that had turned into lava. All credits to these giant lizards who exhale fire like some kind of living furnace. The dragons, with their riders, who were hovering over my head, landed beyond the lava close to the border of my land. The five dragons roared in unison. Eras changed, but they were still the prime source of noise pollution. Huh, useless creatures. Their wings spread out like giant walls, creating a tempest of wind and fury as their scaly claws struck the land, creating a subtle tremor in the land. “You shall not pass!” A rider yelled and before he could completely fill his lungs with enough air to compensate for the shouting, with a swift motion of my hand, I slit his throat. He fell off his dragon, who opened its massive jaws, unleashing a thunderous roar in my direction. Slipping out my one hand from my pocket, I picked my ear. “In case you can’t sense, I am super pissed off, overgrown snake…” Before I could complete wh
[Mizkeal’s POV] My palms illuminated by the strong concentration of mana. I squinted my eyes to get a clearer view, but the mist was too dense. What kind of mist is this? Except for the sound of tinkling chimes and a very faint ringing of bells in the background, all I could hear in that blinding mist were my own breaths and my roaring heartbeats. I placed my hand over my chest, feeling the erratic heartbeats. I knew she was close, and I also knew all of this was some kind of trap she had set. I didn’t know what she wanted to do, but I couldn’t let her succeed. I looked towards the sky. “What in the fucking hell…” there was no sky, as far as my eyes could go there was just the mist. Gritting my teeth, I tried to fly out of it. I soared higher and higher into the mist, trying to find an end to it, but it stretched out endlessly. “Mizkeal…” A voice brushed past my ear like a warm caress. I spun around abruptly, my eyes widening in a frantic search for the source of that sound
[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
[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
[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

[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.
