The floodgate of tears spilled over, bathing her red cheeks.

“It grew stronger, and stronger, what were you thinking!?” His fists clenched at his sides as he paced the room. “If I had known who you were, we would have never gotten together. I would have avoided this by all means. I would damn well never have touched you during your heat.”

Emeriel recoiled as if he had slapped her.

But all Daemonikai saw was the reality of their situation. It crashed into him like an avalanche.

He would have to mate again. The wide hole in his heart where his family used to be still gaped open, growing wider with every passing day. And now, he would have to do it all over again?

Despair turned his stomach. "I cannot do this." The very idea of risking his heart once again sickened him. "I will not do this.”

EMERIEL

One would think that after hurting so much, for so long, over the same reason, Emeriel would have developed some kind of immunity to this pain in particular. But one would be wrong.

Tears.... After tears... My heart... Crying for her

I wish Emeriel has her own magical powers to help her. Surely, the Moon Goddess or whoever they called as their Gods should have something given Emeriel something to help her in times of danger not just relying on the King Darmonikai to reacue her.

    Emeriel wept.She lost awareness of everything, her problems, her surroundings, even who she was with. Surrendering to the pain once more, Emeriel mourned everything she had wanted and all that would never be hers. She mourned the horrible, horrible life she lived."I wish they had never hidden who I was when I was born. I wish I never had to live like this. So what if I lived female? Being sold to the breeding houses would have been better." Emeriel had never been one for regrets, but in that moment, regret was all she felt. "What's so wrong about becoming a harlot? It's an awful life, but then there'd be no deceit, no crushing secrets... no Urai. I wouldn't have to live like this. We would have never met. I wish my parents never tried to protect me."A hand rested on her shoulder.She flinched from that touch before her mind registered it as… safe. It took her a moment to come back to herself, to remember where she was and whom she was with . She gazed up at King Daemonikai.All the

    GRAND LORD VLADYASince Grand Lord Vladya had promised Daemonikai he would fight his madness, he had taken up running to release pent-up energy, to find some semblance of relaxation.The voices in his head were quieter, as they had been for the past few days. Less distracting, his thoughts remained clearer.The librarian had even brought every book, every record on feral conditions into his chambers, and Vladya had poured over them, garnering knowledge he might not already possess.At dawn, after a long run through the woods, his body felt refreshed as he made his way to his chambers, only to pause at the familiar scent lingering in the air. If Yaz hadn't alerted him to Daemonikai's presence, the smell of his friend would have.Daemonikai was already in his study, sitting at Vladya's desk, his head bowed, fingers drumming rhythmically against the wood."Come on in, make yourself at home," Vladya said sarcastically as he stepped inside.Daemonikai did not respond. Not that Vladya expec

    He took a deep breath, trying to release the tight feeling constricting his chest. "Aekeira deserves to be with her sister. I can’t keep her here when there’s nothing for her.""Since everything with Gali—Emeriel—came to light, it's got me thinking." His friend moved closer, green eyes searching Vladya’s face. "Have you stopped to think that maybe—just maybe—Aekeira might be yours? Maybe your lost soul cannot recognize her, so there’s no trigger for her Syren traits. It might be why they are dormant. Have you ever thought of that?"A bitter smile twisted Vladya’s lips. "I have.""And?""And it’s just wishful thinking. Nonsensical assumptions," he deadpanned. "What are the chances of two Soulbonds appearing at the same time when there hasn’t been one in millennia? Two sisters for two best friends?" Vladya let out another empty chuckle. "None, Daemon. Absolutely none."Daemonikai looked away, his expression tightening. "She might still be a compatible soul. A bondmate.""I’ve gone throu

    "No thanks. I already have my Monah," Gaff said, shaking his head. "I cannot imagine her dead, let alone being replaced by someone else. I would kill the person myself, human or Urekai.""Well, let’s not forget who saved your beloved Monah’s life on the eclipse moon night," Belzebob grunted, casting Gaff a pointed look.Gaff deflated like a festival balloon. "Every morning, I pray to Urai to bless King Daemonikai. I'm sure millions of us offer the same prayers.” He downed his drink. “I just wish he could be happy again.""Their bond must have a very strong pull for him to spend her heat with her," Jakal added thoughtfully, his brow furrowed. "Left to me, I’d say the girl should stay. Maybe she’s exactly what he needs to heal. If I found a compatible soul, I don’t care if she were human or witch, I wouldn’t let her go."Belzebob chuckled, casting a sidelong glance at Jakal. "Hard to believe you have grown tired of bachelorhood, Jakal. A hundred years ago, you were as determined to stay

    But if Aekeira saw something worth loving in Lord Vladya, Emeriel would support her every step of the way."Hey, it's going to be alright, Keira."Aekeira gave a small smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I think it’s okay if you want to dress in female garments now, Em. Your secret is out in the open.”“And everyone wants to kill me for it,” Emeriel replied wryly. “I don’t think it’s wise to flaunt it when they still haven’t adjusted. Plus, it just makes me uncomfortable.”"I understand." Aekeira finished securing the chest-bind and stepped back. "There. All done.""Thanks." Emeriel dressed in her usual breeches and tunic.“You have a visitor,” a soldier's voice announced, making them both glance at the door. Emeriel wondered who it could be. “Are you dressed to receive?”“Yes, please.”The door opened and—“Lord Herod!” Emeriel was already moving toward him. He smiled, opening his arms, and she barreled into them.“It’s so good to see you, little one.” He patted her hair

    She looked at her hands. “He attacked me twice during heat."Lord Herod's smile faded, replaced by concern."I used to think his beast really liked me, even if the male… well, didn’t. But now, I’m not so sure. His eyes glowed yellow both times. Even the night he confronted me.”The high lord looked sad. “As much as it seems like our beast is a separate entity that lives within us, we are still one with our beasts, Emeriel.” The high lord looked sad. “You and the beast got along so well because he was mindless. Back then, it followed instincts alone, loving and protecting you as its mate. But now, awareness has returned, and some instincts overshadow others. Like the ingrained need to kill humans."Emeriel looked up from her hands, to stare at him."The grand king is one with his beast. Whatever he feels, his beast feels too. They both lost their family, young one. That pain... it runs deep. It’s not just him lashing out, it’s both of them."That made sense. “I guess I understand bette

    AEKERIAThe next morning, Aekeira was beside herself with worry as she stepped into the grand court alongside Emeriel. They had tried to be brave when they received the summons, dressing in their slave uniforms with unsteady hands. But now, standing before the imposing double doors of the court, her heart repeated somersaults. As the doors creaked open, Em’s hand grabbed hers, her anxious eyes reflecting the same fear that gripped Aekeira.Linking their fingers, Aekeria mouthed. “It’s going to be fine.”They stood at the center of the court, surrounded by lords, high-ranking officials, and nobles, their eyes heavy and assessing. Aekeira’s gaze immediately found Grand Lord Vladya, seated at the right of the king. He was as stoic as ever, his attention solely on the parchment he was writing on, never once sparing her a glance.Contrary to what Emeriel had said, Aekeira knew he had been avoiding her all week. She had felt it—the deliberate absence, the cold distance. And it hurt.Aeke

    LAST CHAPTER OF PART 2.Both Aekeira and Emeriel paused, glancing toward the source. A female Urekai hurried toward them, and the troop parted to allow her through.Aekeira raised an eyebrow. The soldiers had been ordered to block anyone from approaching them—friends or foes. She had seen them turn away Amie, Madam Livia, and others, but now they stepped aside with ease. The woman must be someone of importance.A mistress or a lady of considerable rank, judging by her attire and the presence of soldiers behind her. She was a bit on the thick side, her face strikingly pretty, with an air of confidence that demanded attention. Aekeira hadn’t seen her before. "Emeriel?" The woman glanced at Aekeira before her gaze settled on Emeriel.Em stepped forward. "I am Emeriel."The woman’s eyes lingered on Emeriel for a moment, studying her intently before she said. "I am Lady Morina."Morina. Where had Aekeira heard that name before?"The fourth ruler's bondmate." The female added.Ah. Aekeira

    “Lord Jakal is correct,” Lord Belzebob added, rising to his feet, his chair scraping harshly against the stone floor. “We understand she is your destined mate, Your Grace, but this will truly be difficult for our people to accept. Humans are our sworn enemies. Their treachery has cost us dearly. Should we not be focused on eradicating their kind rather than elevating one to a position of power over us?” He bowed deeply, his head nearly touching the table before him. “Please reconsider, Your Grace.”“Please reconsider, Your Grace!” came the shouted chorus from others in the room, their collective voices tinged with desperation and unease as they bowed.An oppressive silence followed.“I have served as the Grand King of Urai for five millennia,” Daemonikai began, his voice resonating authority and sorrow. “I have always placed my people first—above myself, above all else. There are none here who can claim otherwise. I love my people dearly.”Heads nodded around the room. Some murmured i

    PRINCESS EMERIELGasps rippled through the court, stunned silence following. Jaws dropped. The high lords and the grand lords.Only Grand Lord Vladya seemed unaffected, one brow arching to his hairline as he leaned back in his chair.Grand King Daemonikai extended his hands toward her, his emerald eyes softening as they locked onto hers. “Come to me, dearest.”Emeriel moved automatically, her feet carrying her forward before her mind could catch up. She felt dazed, her body acting on instinct as if pulled by an invisible tether.Reaching him, she placed her trembling hands atop his, her gaze never leaving his.“Her name is Emeriel Galilea Evenstone,” Daemonikai announced, his voice unwavering. “Ukrea has blessed me with the gift of her, and today, I officially show her to you so she will be accorded the respect and honor she deserves—as my woman, and as my Soulbond.” A pin could have dropped and been heard. Not a single breath, not a whisper.Or maybe it was just the ringing in Emer

    "Come, let's go home," he said, his voice regaining its usual strength. "Hydra Lake has seen enough of us for one day."Raising his voice slightly, he added, "And Ottai has heard enough for today."Lord Ottai was listening? Emeriel pulled back, her eyes widening in surprise. She glanced around, searching for the grand lord.From behind a distant tree, the grand lord stepped out, a sheepish look on his face. He waved at them, awkwardly."How dare you listen in to my conversation, Ottai?" the king growled, his eyes still on Emeriel."I tried not to, Your Grace," he shouted from where he stood, his voice defensive. "But no matter how hard I turned my ears off, they managed to catch a word or two." He paused, looking even more guilty. "Or ten.""Ottai," Daemonikai drawled in warning."I apologize, Your Grace," Ottai said, his tone far too earnest for it to be genuine.The Grand King snorted, shaking his head before turning to Emeriel. “Let’s go home.”She nodded, taking a few steps forwar

    "Two years ago, I didn't know how to move forward after losing everything,” he said, his voice low and husky, “I didn't want to move forward. I thought the pain and misery I felt could not get any worse, that I had hit the bottom of the abyss "His eyes, filled with a deep sadness, holding hers captive as he brushed away a stray tear from her cheek. "But then I lost you, and the worst truly came."Emeriel’s breath hitched, tears spilling down her cheeks faster."I tried to forget you, but it was impossible. I didn't realize that you were the thread holding me together all along. Keeping me from falling apart. And when that thread was cut… I had no anchor." His hand gently cupped her neck. "Do you know how many times I wanted to come to you? How many times I had to talk myself out of coming for you?""Really?" she breathed, her voice catching in her throat."I should have chosen you over the damn guilt," he confessed, his voice laced with regret. "And when I went to the great mountains

    “But that wall has long since crumbled.” Lord Ottai took her trembling hand away from her face, holding it. “It’s gone, Emeriel. It hasn’t been there for a long time. Your feelings for him returned, no matter how hard you tried to fight them. And while you were with him again, those feelings only grew stronger. You’re hurting now because you’re trying to run from what you already know to be true.”“I haven’t even crossed the m-mountain yet, and I al-already miss him so much.” She turned, tracing the path they had walked. “It hasn’t even been a full day s-since I saw him, and all I want is to go to him. To b-be in his presence for the rest of the day.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “How do I live without him, Lord Ottai?”“No one can answer that question but you, dear child,” He gave her hand a comforting squeeze. “I don’t want to live without him. I don’t want to go back to the hell of living without him again.” A choked, shaky laugh broke from her lips as she swiped at her eyes. “

    The resolve in Vladya's eyes was the kind Daemonikai hadn’t seen in him in far too long.“I gave this a lot of thought, and do you know the conclusion I came to?” Vladya's lips twitched into a sad smile. “I still want to perform the ritual anyway.”Vladya was willing to try, to fight, to hope, even when the road ahead looked impossible.“You know what? Fuck it. Go for it.” Daemonikai smiled softly, pulling Vladya into a hug, gripping his back with both hands. “Congratulations, brat.”“Thanks, ancient one.” Vladya’s tone was light, but the fierceness with which he returned the hug betrayed his emotions.The soldiers in the middle of drills glanced their way, curiosity quickly masked behind respectful bows. “That girl is so good for you,” Daemonikai said as they pulled apart. “I only watched your interactions briefly, but it told me everything I needed to know. She’s changing you in all the right ways. I wish for you to be genuinely happy, Vladya.”“Right back at you.” Vladya cleared h

    GRAND KING DAEMONIKAI“Someone is feeling quite cheerful this evening,” Vladya remarked as he approached.Grand King Daemonikai turned, a smile tugging at his lips, one he couldn’t suppress no matter how hard he tried. “I don’t know about you, Vladya, but I am having such a beautiful day.”Vladya arched a brow as he dipped his head in a polite bow. “Your Grace.”“Spare me the bullcrap.” Daemonikai waved a dismissive hand resuming his pace, hands clasped behind his back.“He whistles too,” Vladya noted, his voice carrying a teasing lilt.Daemonikai stopped, the faint melody in the air ceasing as well. He blinked, surprised. Was that me? He hadn’t even realized he’d been whistling.“You know, you’re fortunate Aekeira doesn’t have our hearing,” Vladya said, moving beside him. “She would have come storming in last night, hearing her sister scream like that all through the night.”“Why are you suddenly all over my business, brat?” Daemonikai smirked, giving Vladya a sidelong glance. “Come

    PRINCESS EMERIELShe screamed when Grand King Daemonikai breached her body. Arching beneath him, Emeriel tried to escape the harsh pain tearing through her, but there was nowhere to run. Her fingers scratched his to let go, pushing, struggling. "It really hurts," came out broken and shaky.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” he said guiltily, kissing away the tears trailing down her cheek.He pull out, just held himself still above her, tensed with restraint. “I’m all in now. It will stop hurting soon.”It was the kind of pain that came from driving a burning knife into an open wound. But gradually, it began to fade. She felt his tension, the effort it took him not to move, to give her time to adjust.“Move. I’m okay now,” she croaked.He rolled his hips slowly, careful not to hurt her further. Subtle moves to test her readiness. Opening her eyes, Emeriel looked up at him, couldn’t stop watching him. The passion in his expression, the care he took with her. She was greedy for the sight of him

    LADY ADISSAHe stepped out of the chamber, letting the door close behind him with a quiet thud, leaning his head against it.“How is he?” Lady Adissa asked as she approached. She tried to keep her panic at bay, but the tremor in her tone betrayed her. “Is he doing any better?”Razarr shook his head gravely. “He’s waiting for you inside.”Lady Adissa’s stomach churned. “But… has he eaten anything at all?”“Not since yesterday,” the head soldier replied, his tone grim.Her heart sank. Grand Lord Zaiper is in the blackest of his moods.Oh, heavens. She gripped her gown so tight her knuckles turned white under the strain.No one knew what had caused his dark mood, though speculation circled around the Grand King’s visit to Greyrock the night his Soulbond was attacked. Since that night, her master had fallen into one of those depressing, aggressive ways that rarely came, but when it did, was downright terrifying.And since then, Lady Adissa had known no peace.“Please go inside,” Razarr
