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.
AUTHOR'S POV. Morpheus withdrew his sword from Madam Theresa, who crashed to the ground with a thud. When Erika saw that her mother was dead and her incantation was broken, she stood up in the center and spoke a magic word that made the army of the dead pour out of the temple, and she escaped
LAIKA "Take charge of your destiny," I muttered, looking around me. Erika was walking ahead of us and was not paying attention to what was happening. I shut my eyes and tried to convince myself that I was strong and could wield my powers. Erika was still enchanting, and I still felt weak, b
"So much for a fair fight, Erika," I said. She smirked sinisterly. "Sorry, I do not fight fairly." She came at me, swinging the sword at my head again. This time I leaned backward, and the sword missed my face by inches. I went for her hand immediately. If I pry out that sword from her, we would
ALPHA KARIM Morpheus and I were getting tired of fighting Erika's army of the dead. They were pouring out in thousands and would not stop unless Erika was dead. We were outnumbered, but Morpheus and I kept fighting our way toward Laika. We had wounds on us now—stabs and cuts from the army—but
Remembering my mother now, I think she was so afraid of my father. She was a quiet woman who only spoke when spoken to. I was so trained out of emotions that I barely stored any events in my head, and I had forgotten most of my childhood memories. But one thing was clear to me now. My father never l

"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
