Raina isn't in the servant's quarters when I go down to look for her.She isn't in the courtyard.She isn't in the kitchens.I don't know how I know where these places are but I do.It's like I'm working purely on memory and my memory is not failing me this time. Every corner of the fortress rings with the echoes of something lost and forgotten and it's something I lost.Something I forgot.When I finally find her, she's seated in the garden with another woman.A very beautiful woman with eyes the color of roses and hair a deep scarlett.Raina gets up the moment she sees me coming and that rigidness enters her spine yet again."Lady Adelaide."The other female with her frowns like she's slightly confused, and I just stand there, awkward.She never told me we had an expectant mother in the fortress.When the silence stretches on for too long I clear my throat and shift from foot to foot."There's.... Hi." The red haired female looks at me with an even more bewildered expression and I

The air in Raleigh is hotter today and Rafie doesn't look too pleased. He casts lazy eyes on me. "So what you're saying is that you want to draw another spell circle, on castle grounds, the biggest yet so you can break into another world with two moons?"Rafie looks at me like I might be running mad yet I do not avert my gaze from his."That is what I have to do if you want us to find Cain. "Rafie chuckles and scoffs."I thought you said that we don't need them. I thought you said they're irrelevant as long as we have Adelaide, and we do have Adelaide, don't we? You have her, her coronation is in the next few days. I already have underground workshops being built and spies reporting in from the other Kingdoms. What you want to do in my kingdom, is madness Lyros. I won't stand for it."I chuckle because Rafie seems to forget that I am not one to be refused.I do not take rejection lightly and I'm not doing this for myself alone."I won't then. I'll just sit back and wait for nature t

Lysandra tells me all about how someone like me came to the fortress one day.She tells me of how she stood at the gates, waiting for a rendezvous with Rhys and then she saw me, bound, unconscious, being carried towards the compound as the unruly warriors looked between the folds of my skirt.She says she assumed I was trying to get trouble for myself right away because I wasn't wearing any underwear. "And who forgets to put on underwear when they're headed to the home of a Lycan King? I just assumed that it was either you wanted the attention, and the warriors were going to give it to you.""Right from the moment you came, weird things started happening. For one, Cain was hit twice in one day.""When she says his name it's like something in me sings with want."Lyros had you starved for seven days on end and on the eight, i heard you were almost assaulted again just after you were fed by the guard at your door. Cain saved you, took you to the healer, had you fed and healed, and in r

Raina and I pack a fruit basket.I don't care that the guards have never let me out of here, I'll go out.They should know how much I mean to their boss and if that doesn't work,... Well, I'll find a way to make it work.I won't stay here for one minute longer." Lyros won't be happy when he arrives and doesn't find you here Adelaide."The whisper against my ear is that of a female and I know it's Raina's without even looking. She's scared."Isn't it better to stay and beg for his forgiveness when he comes back than to incur his wrath by running away?"I shake my head immediately because it isn't.Just the thought of what I've been doing with Lyros for the past three months in my memories makes my skin crawl now.If he comes back, he'll want more of that from me. More of the intimacy we share when he knows he's never done anything to earn that intimacy from me.He's.... ruined me. I don't know how to put it but I've always known something was wrong. I've always known something just wa

Hi lovelies. I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. I ran into a technical issue so i couldn't write at all, but good news. I should be back and functional by Tuesday this week. Anticipate the ending of this book and the possible beginning of a new one. Love you all ｡◕‿◕｡ P.s i don't know why the website won't just let me post this in peace. I've posted shorter author notes before but they didn't hit a mandatory wordcount barrier. This is just me trying to fill in space and make up words. Almost there, ah, just right. Love y'all (◕ᴗ◕✿)

Raina and I go into the forest to look for wood and food when night falls and Lysandra tells us where to step and where not to step so we can avoid detection from the warriors. The child in her belly grows even as we walk and I find myself being increasingly curious about the father. Who is this Rhys? My mind brings forth answers in little glimpses and I reach for them. For once, they cling to me and they remain where I want them to. I see the mental images of me and him laughing, him training me, him being sexy as hell and me being receptive to that. “Did we have an affair?” I barely say the words but a voice responds all the same. “No. I don’t think you did.” I turn to see Lysandra behind me and the moon casts a soft light on us as we tread through the forest. Raina says the warriors never visit the forest except when in their lycan wolf forms, and they can’t track us in their lycan forms because we grabbed something more than fruits as we exited the manor. We barely have s

“What happened!” Rafie is fuming and sunlight leaves little cracks on his skin. Alizadeh is wrapped in the energy of his sight and he’s lost in it. A Lycan King, lost in the thrall of his power. I feel something strange happen to me. Something that hasn’t happened to me in a while and it’s an emotion that comes to me in trickles. It’s fear. Something has gone wrong. Something has gone terribly wrong and I didn’t plan for it. “I asked what happened Lyros!’ “Do I look like I fucking know!” Those words leave my lips in a snarl and energy revolves around Rafie. Thick blinding rays of sunlight twist and he stares at me menacingly. The servant holding onto Alizadeh’s legs lets out a soul-shattering scream and drops to the ground, dead. The next one is sobbing so heavily and her grief is fully written on her face. She doesn’t want to die. None of them want to, but they aren’t Kings. The fate of a Kingdom doesn’t rest on their shoulders. They have to die to sustain him. And to sus

I feel my ears tingle and a chill races down my spine. The feeling overtakes me before I can stop it and it comes all at once. I find words tumbling from my mouth before I can stop them.“He knows.” Raina stops and Lysandra cocks her eyebrows up at me. My voice shakes as I repeat myself “He knows. Lyros knows I’m gone. He knows I opened the door to Cain’s room….. He knows I’ve regained the power of the flame.”Raina frowns, “Are you two connected somehow?”My mind revolts at the idea. My skin prickles with revulsion just at the thought of it and I shake my head firmly. “No, of course not…. It’s, only his magic that’s alerted him to my absence. He knows the spell has been broken.”I touch the fang necklace still on my neck and the power of the flame revolves in my heart again. My resolve firms. I can do this.Lyros isn’t a threat to me. Not when I have the power of the Lycan’s flame at my beck and call. My memories have come back fully now, but in breaking the spell, Diane’s shown m

Cain grabs onto my waist and kisses me, hauling me up and plastering me against him. His voice is a rough husk in my ear as he whispers “You did it, Adelaide.” Tears run down my eyes and he hugs me, holding my body to his as I sob into his chest. I don’t think I'd believe what just happened if someone told me it would a few months ago. All I wanted was to be free and run off to hell knows where, but I'm glad for what I did. Now I know I have parents, parents who loved me and a mother who would have done anything for me. I’m not just the pack omega destined to be maltreated and beaten for all of her life. The suffering I went through changed me. It gave me tougher skin and with the power of my heritage… I've just won back my kingdom. Freedom is mine if I want it. Freedom, and power, and love, if I want any of it, and all of it, and I do. I really do. I kiss Cain again, just to cement the fact that we are a thing now. We’re more than a thing. I’m wearing his ring. He’s as much

Lyros is no longer the all-powerful Lycan lording his majesty over the weak populace. We are powerful in our own right now.And in the face of real power, the Lycan king can only do one thing, cower, like a coward.Lyros attempts to run but almost like he knows it’s futile there’s no spirit in it. Lycan speed might have given him a chance, but running was just one final way of making a dash for his life.I flash and slam Lyros with my sword, the blade slapping the side of his face and drawing blood as he tumbles to the ground. I lean down and whisper close to his ear,“I don’t intend to kill you Lord Lyros.”I feel his heartbeat intensify as my words graze his ears but I continue confidently, “I intend to make you pay for all you’ve done. For the young girls you plucked from weak werewolf packs, only to kill them after torturing them, their dreams ended and hopes cut short because of your wickedness. I intend to make you pay for the cities you’ve attacked, the people you have killed,

I rip through the fabric of space as I burn.I feel the Lycan’s flame coursing through my being and it sets me on fire with the force of a supernova. I feel the strength of a thousand stars in me. The flames lick at my dress, burning it short and tattered, turning me into a version these men see, but which they don’t see at all.I wonder how many times Lyros has looked at me and seen nothing but skin. Nothing but clothes in pieces, flesh for the taking, a body to be claimed, and a mind to have fun with.I wonder how many times he’s seen skin and ignored the fire that rages in my heart. Ignored the love I have for the simple things. Ignored the fact that I am more than just skin and flesh, that I am heart and brains and emotion. That I am not his plaything.I am a Queen, and this Kingdom is mine.I kill the King beyond the border first. The battle with him takes less than an hour.In my hand is a sword hot as flame and solid as diamond. Rafie attacks me next so I slay him too.Raymel

We all stand in wait for her.Me, Rafie, Alizadeh, and Galan, all four Lycan kings, we wait for a weak omega female and something hollow rings in my chest. It was stupid to think I could find love.Even before the truth of Elara’s betrayal was revealed to me, I already knew. I already knew something was wrong with my heart and that I couldn't love properly anymore.I should have left it out of the cards, left love to those foolish enough to crave it but instead, I had to go ahead and try to keep her. Adelaide made me imagine something hot and exciting between us, something fiery and passionate, but at the end of the day, she’s expendable.She’s always been. Only I matter.A kingdom rests on my shoulders.“Is she on her way?”Rafie’s voice grates against my nerves but I nod. I’m not angry at him anymore. He’s doing what I didn't have the strength to do.Galan chortles where he stands and I feel my hands clench. I should kill him for using his trickster magic on me, but he saved my life

“How sweet.”Cain’s hand stops immediately and my foggy brain can’t even make sense of what’s happening. Has Cain taken me to the point of release this morning? Yes.I’m worried I might be a horndog.I turn to see Safira leaning on the doorframe. Her dress is so pretty, it drapes over her body like liquid and damn, I almost forgot how pretty she was.She smirks as her eyes meet mine, “Should I leave?” Cain answers sweetly before I can and his reply makes me chuckle. He goes “Yes please.”Safira’s hand twitches and a pillow launches itself at the back of Cain’s head. I let it hit and burst into subdued chuckles when he lets out a slight “oof.”Safirs sighs and shakes her head “You have a meeting in like six minutes. Will you be down?”Cain smirks lazily and shrugs. Safira’s gaze darts to me and she fixes me with an inquisitive stare, “Will he be down?”I nod because despite how much I want him to stay with me and kiss me silly, he’s already explained to me how things are here.He has

Diane visits me one last time in my dreams. She smiles at me and though my heart breaks, I smile back at her.I know this is the end. This is the last time I will see her, and as we stand on the sandy beach, our eyes locked on each other and the resemblance undeniable, I let her embrace me as a mother would her child, and I cry so bad my heart feels like it’s going to break.Diane kisses my forehead and wipes my tears, “You’re stronger than your pain my love. You know that right?”I want to nod. I desperately want to nod. The moment I saw Cain, the reality of what had happened to me seemed to come crashing down on me. The moment I saw Lyros instead of him, saw flashes of me and him behind my closed eyes each time I blinked….. How do I live with that?How do I live with the knowledge of all the things I did with the man I hate? A man who used me?I wish I could forget.“This is fire Adelaide,” I clutch Diane closer as she pats my hair down, tears still streaming down my cheeks “Like g

Anger makes my teeth crack as Adelaide asks me a question. She looks up at me, uncertainty in her eyes, her expression scared and bleak.“Would you still love me, if I showed you what Lyros and I have been doing these past few months?”Something threatens to snap in me but I know what this is.I’ve seen this before. I’ve done this once.I nod and Adelaide’s shoulders shudder. I can see how fervently she’s trying to control herself. How ferociously she’s attacking the emotions that are surging forth.Something’s happened, and when I ask her, she tells me everything.Trapped in a memory chain of the Lycan King’s making for three months, her magic being the thing he used to fuel that spell, Lyros turned her magic into her trap, and then she tells me what the memories were about. Entire years' worth of memories of her waiting for him patiently in the fortress.Memories of how he saved her from her pack and brought her to a better life in his care, Memories of how she became his personal p

Cain and Safira comfort me and tell me it’s okay. I can feel Cain’s concern for me like eyes at the back of my head.He’s always staring at me. He looks at me with such intensity that I feel all the things in my stomach churn and my thoughts go filthy. Memories flash past my eyes each time I close them.Memories of me and him in this world.Memories of me and him in a cave, happy sated smiles on our faces and our bodies totally unclad. We’re nude, and we’re comfortable.I see memories of deep and easy loving. Love that took me to the peak of pleasure, and threw me off the edge of my climax, again, and again, and again.My body begins to warm and Safira hits me on the arm, “For skies’ sake, Focus Adelaide. Are you sure you’re okay?”I turn to her and at the sight of familiar deeply tan skin and obsidian black eyes, a smile lights up my face. “I haven’t spent a day here and I’m already being mothered.”Safira grins and chuckles at that, and I feel light in my heart.She and Cain give

My heart melts with each passing moment i listen to Cain’s words and I almost can’t believe this is happening.My mind tells me if I blink he’ll go away, so I keep my eyes wide open, and I stare at him. I know it’s real when he stares at me in that same way.The lines of Cain’s face look new to me now. His warmth feels so familiar yet so alien. There’s an air around him that I can’t place, but I love every bit of it.I love it the way I love him, and when he leans in to kiss me again, I can feel the desperation in his touch. He’s as scared of me leaving as I am of him not being real in this moment. Finding him shouldn’t be this easy.It shouldn’t have been this easy, yet it was and I can’t seem to believe that.A sudden scream makes me cling to him like a frightened puppy until my brain realizes i know that voice.I know the texture of that squeall. I’ve heard that feminine tilt before.Safira’s scent invades my senses immediately and a warm body plasters itself to mine. She’s sobbing
