LAIKA When I opened my eyes again, I couldn’t see anything out of my right eye. It was swollen shut, matted with blood, and throbbing. I was still tied up, and a piece of cloth was tied around my mouth. The ropes were gnawing into my bones, and I hoped to the moon goddess that my pup was okay. So
“But one thing. You need him to kill Karim. They could kill themselves and save you all that stress.” “You are right, mama.” “One more thing. Morpheus did not come here alone last night. Someone else was here, so I think they know your hiding place now.” “What? But he said he poisoned them all
ALPHA KARIM "What do you see?" I asked Daka, one of my men, as he came down the hill. We were camped in the woods; we followed a different route than Sekani followed last night because we might walk into a trap going back to that route. "There is indeed a cave, but there was no one in
ALPHA KARIM We split up and entered the cave. I kept Sekani near me, but the other men went away on their own. I could still perceive Laika's scent in the cave. We followed the scent and went in further until we got to a cell. The cell was empty; no prisoners were there, but I saw ropes on the flo
ALPHA KARIM “I will help you on one condition,” the witch said. I knew she wanted something. These evildoers never help without a condition. But I’d rather take my chances than let her prowl in my helplessness. I moved over to her, standing inches away from her. “If you are trying to get me to
LAIKA I knew everything going on around me, but I could not even lift a limb. Madam Theresa and Erika carried me into a place I do not know, but it looked like some kind of temple. Joy could not even reply to me anymore because she was so weak, and it was only a matter of time before she sto
ALPHA KARIM The battle was fierce, and we were outnumbered, but we fought. Erika's army of the dead was appearing more and more. I fought with all my strength while the witch was beside me, clearing the path. She was doing some kind of magic that made the skeletons break into pieces and disap
She quickly hid in the shadows, thinking of what to do. Erika did not stop her incantations; she spoke louder, screaming her incantations. A sudden, heavy wind began to blow in the room, tossing things around. Karim was tossed away; his sword was yanked out of his hands, but he held on to a pillar.

"Oh, that's excellent. I should get ready then." Morpheus headed for the bath but paused, turning to Mildred with a cocky grin. "Do you want to scrub my back?" Mildred eagerly agreed, starting to remove her dress. She was always enthusiastic to be with Morpheus. When they were both nude, he lifted
THREE FULL MOONS LATER... "My queen," the guard announced from the doorway, startling Mildred, who had been wrestling with nerves. It has been going on for several days. "What is it?" she inquired. "The royal visitors have arrived the planes of the kingdom." Mildred sprang from
"Penelope, come out," I urged. No response. "I need to talk to you." When silence persisted, I requested a flame torch, which was handed to me by a guard. Holding it up, I peered into the cell and found her lifeless body sprawled on the floor. The metallic scent of blood hung in the air. My heart
"Are you going to lie here all day admiring my perfection, or are you going to claim your crown?" he muttered and opened his eyes. Leaning in, he planted a lazy kiss on my lips. My heart fluttered as I remembered my inauguration ceremony today, and I was supposed to be getting dressed by the ladi
His eyes didn't intimidate me; I knew what it meant when they darkened. He buried his face between my legs, and when his tongue flicked over my throbbing wetness, a quick shiver ran into my blood; my thoughts became misty, and my leg wobbled, but he gripped my hips, holding me in place. "Mo
MILDRED I found myself torn between conflicting emotions regarding Morpheus for two days, so I distanced myself from him during that time. The choice between forgiving him and letting him go out of my life forever weighed heavily on my mind. He had made me cry the most since I met him, but the
"Of course, I want that," I replied earnestly. It was all I had ever yearned for. I longed to belong to someone so profoundly that I had wreaked havoc in Karim and Laika's lives. "I desire a family, someone to return to after the day's challenges, someone to share my thoughts with. I crave everlasti
MORPHEUS I moved silently down the dimly lit corridor of the palace, as quietly as I could, striving to avoid drawing attention or causing any disturbance with my unannounced departure. Everyone would discover my absence when they awoke. The palace remained hushed, although distant echoes of joyfu
