Rise of the Bloodstone King Reborn
Chapter 38 - Reborn AloraWhat happens after death? Most believe that you enter the Veil, your lost loved ones all waiting to greet you on the other side. But what happens for those who are made, not born or a true life force?What happens when they die?Do they just disappear and become nothing but matter in time and space? Is there an afterlife for them too?If that were true, then when would it happen? When would I feel myself fade away and become whatever it was I would become?"You ask a lot of questions for someone who is supposedly dead." A female voice echoed from somewhere in the distance. It was harmonious, her words stringing together like a song. My eyes shot open; bright white light filled the space, but despite being lost in the dark for so long, it didn't burn my eyes. Nothing existed around me—no floor or ceiling. No grass or even a sky, just an empty white room except for the throne that sat a female and her Onyx colours wolf, I noticed as I sat myself up. I could

Chapter 39 - Memories DamonI left Alora with Nova and Nesrin, going against everything I wanted because the council requested my presence. The last place I wanted to be right now was in that stuffy room dealing with insolent fae who disregarded my words at every turn, but I knew it was inevitable. Everyone saw us, saw her. There would be questions I would have to answer, questions I didn't want to answer right now, questions I didn't even know the answers to myself. All I wanted was to be with Alora and forget the world. She sacrificed herself to save mine and Helga's lives to save the Kingdom. Then, she was gone; I felt her die; I felt her magic leave her body. But out of some strange miracle, she was here now, and I was gifted a second-chance mate. I only knew of one other mated couple who was given such a thing: Rachel and Drake. I didn't know what to do with the newfound knowledge. I immediately wanted to claim her as mine, but my past made me second-guess it. Would she even

Chapter 40 - Scared AloraThe smell of citrus and cedar filled my nose, and the warmth of a body against my back started to pull me back further into the sweet bliss of sleep that still clung to me. I found myself never wanting to wake up from this dream. I liked the feel of the heavy arm draped across my waist. I found myself snuggling closer to the source of warmth. Why did this dream feel so real? Like a moth to a flame, images rushed forward, first of my mother being engulfed in flames before my very eyes, then of Athena Bloodstone placing a kiss on my forehead, followed by the cry of a bird before the morning sky was filled with golden flames of Phoenix. Then, finally, the last memory came forward, Damon catching me before I hit the ground.Suddenly something else flashed through my mind. Naked, I had been naked. Immediately I was all too aware of my surroundings. I shot up from the bed. My eyes were wide as I frantically looked around the unfamiliar room. How did I get here?

Chapter 41- Evasive Damon I stared at Balor, waiting for him to go into further detail. If he knew someone who could help Alora discover more about her Pheonix powers, then I was all ears. I wasn't the only one, either. The whole table seemed to go silent, waiting for Balor to tell us what he knew. Balor flashed a smile, moving to take a seat at the end of the table. Always with the long pauses and the dramatics. Balthazar was rubbing off on him; I knew I should be more concerned about that, but right now, I didn't particularly care. "You aren't going to like it. Frankly, I think it's fate's way of mocking us." He mused, resting his elbows on the table, his tattooed hands clasping together, showing off the rings that cover every finger. "Spit it out, Balor." Nesrin sighed. He placed a hand on his chest, feigning insult. "Not even a hello, these days. You all really are living up to the Jinx stories. Second class, scum who have no etiquette and are an insult to the fae Kingdom. T

Chapter 42 - Full CircleAloraIt's funny how even after you have overcome your deepest fears that they can still creep up on you. That was how it felt right now, anyways, as we arrived at the Dream realm. It was a ghost town, everyone seeming to either vanish with my mother's magic or flee as soon as they were freed from their promise to her. The streets were quiet, the ports empty, and the palace looked haunted. The golden paint was already losing its shine and fading with the faded magic. The windows were dark and unwelcoming as we approached the not-so-gilded gate. It was now that I felt the fear of my mother creep up on me. The well of my fears bubbled in the pit of my stomach. For decades I walked through these gates and made my way to my mother's throne room to report my findings and give her the things she requested I steal. The motions all felt so familiar, but with Damon by my side, they also felt different. I knew he could sense my hesitation as we approached the giant w

Chapter 43 - WarningDamonI sat at the dais, my legs hanging over the edge as I waited for Cedric to arrive with the artifacts Alora and I asked for. Balor was right when he said the Jinx family would bargain for their priceless information. The smug look on their faces was wiped away and replaced with wide gaping mouths as they stared at the amulet in shock.Diana had muttered a curse under her breath. One I was sure she wanted me to hear because she said it so close to me. But I bit my tongue as I handed over the amulet, not wanting to risk them being stingy with their end of the deal.Alora was waiting in the Library, looking over whatever other books Audra had found for her. Now that Alora had her dream magic again, she was more determined than ever to find out what else she was capable of doing. I couldn't help but admire her for her devotion and eagerness. I was still reeling in from the mind-blowing realization that not only was Alora a rare Pheonix shifter, but she was also

Chapter 44 - Worship AloraI flipped through the pages of the phoenix book the jinx family had kept for generations. There was so much to process, like what abilities I now possessed because of what I was. It made my head hurt; there was so much to learn, so much to figure out. I was now different than normal fae; I was now a shifter. But, unlike most shifting fae, my order didn't communicate with me. Instead, it was a part of me; we were one and the same. I would still live an immortal life, only having one enemy that could stop me from ever being reborn, permanently ending my life. A Basilisk. A venous snake shifter that, like me, was rare, most believed them to be extinct. But now that I existed, one would be born, if not already—the universe now having to find balance in all forms. It was mindblowing the things I had already read about. For example, I could enchant items with my flames, similar to everlasting fire. But unlike everlasting fire, I couldn't break wards or spells w

Chapter 45 - Long Live The Queen Damon "Again," I commanded as Alora worked to keep the wings she had summoned to remain on her back. She had learned quickly how to handle the phoenix flames since she had already worked with the fire element. But now came the hard part, only half shifting. I did it all the time, especially in battle, morphing my nails into claws and elongating my canines. But nothing about that was easy; it came with time and practice, but Alora wanted to have it mastered. With the coronation and our mate ceremony happening tomorrow, she wanted to be better at it. Not only to prove to the council and our people that she was a worthy Queen but also to herself. I didn't want to be the one to tell her to slow down, not after she had spent so much of her life ruled under someone else thumb. But I had warned her of the risks of exhaustion and told her that when I saw fit, we would end the training for the evening.Alora begrudgingly accepted my condition, and I kept tr

Rise of the Bloodstone King Epilogue
Epilogue Three weeks later Damon The pressure of the crown was building as Alora and I settled into our new roles. My father was no longer here to keep the council at bay with their demands. But despite it all, I had found that I enjoyed this new life I had been given. The new responsibilities allowed me even more control over the Kingdom than the Captain of the guards ever could. All be it; I did miss the battle prep and daily training. But I still found holes in my busy schedule to take Alora out to the training fields at least once a week. I knew that eventually, our routine would become steady, and we would have more time to relax, but new rulers came with change and to have change, you needed to vote on old and new laws to pass. Alora and I had already made some big changes, like incorporating technology from the human realm into our daily lives to allow us easier communication with other realms. But there were still a lot of issues with the old ways of running our Kingdom
Rise of the Bloodstone King To Love and Cherish
Chapter 49 - To Love and Cherish ErikPeace was something that was talked about constantly. During wars, it was what we fought for. While ruling a Kingdom, it was what we strived to maintain. But I had never truly known peace until now. The thought of finally being ridden of this pain inside of me, knowing that soon I would be with my love once again, was freeing. The final night with my family started out slow, but it eventually picked up and ran right into the night. There was laughter and tears exchanged around the table as we shared stories of my past and everyone got a chance to say goodbye, getting the closer they needed.And as everyone turned in for the night, I found myself alone again; unable to sleep, I found myself outside. I stayed up looking out at the stars waiting for the sun to rise. I closed my eyes, letting the warm breeze brush across my skin, engraving it into my mind. "So you really are going to spend your last moments alive, sitting in a field of flowers like
Rise of the Bloodstone King Goodbyes
Chapter 48 - GoodbyesErikI watched as the sun set beyond the forest, the oranges and pinks of the sky blending together as the sun bid it farewell. It had been a long time since I had nothing to do, no responsibilities with the crown or of the guards. I thought it might help me move on from the hell that the last year had been without Athena, but now I realize that was a stupid notion. It was lonely, and the weight of losing my mate weighed heavier on my heart now than it did while I still ruled.I kept as busy as a retired King could, helping Damon when he needed to seek council or helping Apollo if he needed a hand with training recruits, but I knew that they both didn't really need my help. They just didn't want me to feel left out. Apollo was a natural at his role, and so was Damon. Despite what Damon said when he first discovered he would be the next in line to inherit the throne. He took to it as a bird took to the sky. He was a born leader and shined when he was in control o
Rise of the Bloodstone King Home
Chapter 47 - Home Alora It had been a month since I had been crowned Queen of Gardenia, the days seeming to slip away as the kingdom welcomed the summer solstice and our ruling.I was busy learning my new role, Damon's father and Grandfather helping ease us both into the important roles we both now held. However, it was easier having Helga by my side. I was happy to have her as my royal advisor, and Rachel had said she was a natural already. I knew she would be, though; she always loved to take control and never gave up the opportunity to tell someone off. It was also working in my favour because Lord folic was so busy fighting with her that he always missed out on voting for new laws or changes to existing rulings. Damon loved it, and it made the council meetings less gruelling. It was absurd how many times we had to have a council meeting. At least once a day, and most of the things brought up were trivial problems. By the end of the day, I was just happy to get some alone time
Rise of the Bloodstone King The Crown
Chapter 46 - The CrownDamon It felt like an eternity had passed as I waited in the royal chambers with my father. It felt even longer when we exchanged goodbyes at the throne room, and I waited at the dais while he sat on his throne. Melody stood in front of my father, a smile stretched across her face, glowing brightly. The room was full of people, some from the council, others from royal families, friends, family, and people from our Kingdom. All watching and waiting for the ceremony to begin.I was in a black royal jacket that was made with silver threading, and our family crest stitched into my left breast pocket. The wolves were placed proudly amongst the roses and the sword that separated them as they howled at the moon. My silver crown was placed on my head, but that would be changed once mine and Alora's vows were complete and only after the mothers accepted us as the new King and Queen to signal the dawn of a new era. Drake stood to the right of me, his mate, my mother's
