The fourth ruler shook his head. "It's not dead, but there's no such hope. Only dark magic can bring it back, and even then, the cost is too great. To make such an exchange, one would have to give up something of immense value. Like a life."He turned back to the window, his gaze distant. "Then, there's the part where Hav'zie de Baah might 'take' but never ‘give.’"Aekeira's shoulders slumped. Her hope disappeared. She'd forgotten that crucial part."So, the grand king... might die?" she asked."He will die, when the symptoms complete. Which is why we are here." The grand Lord released a deep breath. "We need Emeriel close to him. We need her to save his life.""Em saved it once before. She did, and all she got in return was pain." Aekeira shot back. "More pain than anyone should bear. Hate from everyone around her. A heartbreak that almost killed her."The three men averted their eyes, guilt written all over their faces."I'm sorry for—" Lord Ottai began. "Save the apology, Your Maj

No suitor had dared before. Emeriel would have deflected with a well-placed shove, a swift punch or a biting retort. But tonight, she felt raw, her defenses frayed.The kiss was agony.It was like a thousand tiny needles pricking her skin from every angle, her stomach churning with nausea.Memories of another's lips, another's touch, flooded her. King Daemonikai's deep kisses, the feel of his tongue against hers. The recall assaulted Emeriel’s whole being.Longing rose, clawing its way up from the pit of her stomach...No, no, no.She tore her lips from his, stumbling back so fast she lost her footing, and fell hard onto the ground."Are you alright?" Daviel reached for her, but she scrambled to her feet, moving backward to put as much distance between them as she could."I’m fine," she gasped, dusting off her garments with trembling hands, trying to keep the despair rising inside her at bay. "Let’s call it a night, Prince Daviel.""But, Emeriel—""Good night." She turned and walked

MISTRESS SINAISinai had always wanted two things in life. To be rich and to be Grand Queen. The first would come, sooner or later, but the second… the second was always slipping just out of her reach. Some obstacle, always in her way.It infuriated her beyond reason.Daemonikai was as stubborn as a mule, but as long as he was alive, he belonged to her.Still, it wouldn’t hurt to spread her wings a little. To secure her future elsewhere. Zaiper. He was ambitious and dangerous.No one outlived the repercussions of a dead soul, and If Daemonikai died, Sinai would ensure her place at the side of the next grand king.She let the thought simmer, a slow smile curling her lips as she imagined Gaille’s reaction. Oh, how delicious it would be.But no. She couldn’t act on it yet.Daemonikai had beaten feral once before, what if he fought through being soulless, too?He was unpredictable, and Sinai wasn’t foolish enough to gamble her future before she knew which way the wind would blow.She wou

PRINCESS EMERIELEmeriel was speechless, and it showed.Every part of her arms was taken, held by Urekai hands, yet none of them made any move to harm her.Two years ago, these same people placed bets on who would be quick enough to kill her. Now, their touch was gentle, as if she were made of delicate glass they feared might shatter beneath their fingers.These proud beings, who held themselves superior to humans and all other species, were now begging her, imploring her for help.Tension bled from Emeriel, replaced by something far more unsettling. Fear. For the first time in a long, long while, it crawled up her spine, chilling her blood. How gravely ill was her beloved?No, no, no. Don’t do that. He’s no longer your beloved. He was never yours. Think of him only as their grand king.How ill was their grand king, for them to cast aside their hatred for humans and beg for her help? Emeriel had spent years blocking their bond, fighting against it. And when it had gone completely si

GRAND LORD OTTAIHe stood by the door, staring at Daemonikai’s unmoving body sprawled across the bed. The grand king looked almost lifeless, his pallor stark against the dark sheets.The only sign of life was the faint, barely perceptible rise and fall of his chest. So subtle that one would have to get close to see it. His breathing had slowed even more over the past few weeks, each breath coming longer between the last. Shallower than what was normal for any living being.The Urekai guard on duty, offered a respectful greeting, while Livia, who had been tending to Daemonikai with cold compresses to regulate his burning fever, rose and bowed deeply."How is he?" Ottai asked, moving further into the room. "Still refusing food, your highness. No sign of waking in the past four days." The head maid replied.The longest stretch yet. A week without sustenance, and four days without opening his eyes. Typically, he would awaken every other day, staying conscious for a brief thirty minutes

PRINCESS AEKEIRAShe stood in front of the cave, dawn breaking around her. She stared into the yawning black. "Are you sure he’s in there?"Yaz gave a solemn nod. "He’s been here for months. It’s unlikely he left during my absence.""You said you have never been inside? Not even once?""Yes. He forbade it. Threatened to rip apart anyone who dared," A muscle ticked in his jaw. "Lord Vladya doesn't want to be seen like this. He came here to die, your highness."Aekeira flushed. "Why do you call me that?""That's what you are, is it not?""It is." She glanced back at the cave entrance. "But you always called me ‘Slave.’ Hearing you address me differently now feels… strange. Please, call me Aekeira.”Yaz seemed to consider this as she ventured into the cave. Jagged rocks jutted from the ground and walls, the deeper she went, the narrower the path became. Aekeira glanced down at her extravagant attire, wishing she had worn something simpler for this. The few clothes she possessed were all

PRINCESS AEKEIRAHe recognized me.Relief crashed into Aekeira. Tears burned her eyes."Who e-else would it be?" she choked out.She felt the brush of his nose against her neck, and tilted her head to the side, giving him better access. A long, slow inhale."This feels like a dream," he growled."It’s not. I’m here, in Urai." Unable to hold back any longer, she spun around, and threw her arms around his neck, pulling him close. "I’m here."He stilled.Then, he was hugging her back. His arms encircling her waist, crushing her to him. One was a hand, the other a large, furred paw with sharp, elongated claws.Aekeira didn’t flinch. She didn’t care. All that mattered was that he was here…and he remembered her."Aekeira…" He breathed. She had never heard so many emotions wrapped into a single word. "My Aekeira."That sob tore from her throat. She clung to him tighter, burying her face in his neck. His scent, clean and familiar, filled her senses.And for the first time in years, she fe

PRINCESS AEKEIRAEverything hurt. Seeing him again hurt, like tearing open an old wound. Seeing his incredibly handsome face, reliving the past, remembering the pain, it was excruciating.Knowing she was still going to lose him again soon, that she would have to go through that same pain all over again... was ten times excruciating. She was already losing him, bit by bit.One of his hands was now a paw, and Aekeira dreaded to imagine where the shift ended beneath his robes. I can’t do this again. She had thought she could handle it. She had thought she was ready to face the past again. But now, standing before him, she realized how unprepared she was.She wasn't ready. Lord Vladya rose too. “Don’t leave, Aekeira.” He took a step towards her.Aekeira shook her head, "Please don't."She had to leave, because even though she wasn’t ready to face this all over again, she still wanted him. Pathetic, isn't it?She still craved to see his face.Yearned to be in his arms again.Listen t

“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
