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

Emeriel’s breathing quickened in the silent room as her eyes drank him in. Ravenously devouring every detail of him.Control yourself, Emeriel. There was no bond to blame now. This is all you. Have some restraint.Easier said than done.She was grateful to be alone with him. No one could see how hard she struggled. How difficult it was to be in the same room with him again.The effort it took not to rush across the room and collapse on top of him, just to feel his body against hers one more time.The memories were the hardest.Those stolen nights in his arms, tucked away at the cottage, making love after love. The fog of heat and the passage of time had blurred the memories, and she had survived by blocking them. But now, here in this room with him, the years shrunk and disappeared, and it felt like yesterday.The memories that had once been hazy were suddenly vivid, flashing very clearly.Emeriel’s whole body shook.She stumbled back out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Daemonikai’s heart clenched. He shoved down the feelings stirring inside him.The emotions he thought he had buried long ago."I don’t like it. Reality has no place here." he said. "I want to stay here with you." "No, you don’t.” Evie stopped walking, turning to face him fully again. “Guilt is a cruel companion, it tarnishes even the most beautiful things.""This is the second time you are saying that," Daemonikai noted, a frown creasing his brow."Guilt drives you, dearest. Not because of our deaths, but because you care for her." Evie raised a hand when he opened his mouth to protest. "Let me finish, please. You believe you dishonor me by acknowledging these feelings. You would rather remain here, not because you truly want to be here, but because reality is more tempting. You're not sure how much longer you can fight what you feel. And fight you think you should... because if you don't, you feel guilty for replacing us. Replacing me."That was as preposterous as it was untrue. Dae

"When she left, she took all the color with her, drowning my world in black and white. I never realized how brightly she lit up my life, from the first day I met her as Galilea, until she was gone." Daemonikai admitted.Admitting it aloud for the first time was like shedding twelve heavy cloaks Daemonikai hadn't known he was wearing."Oh...dearest, I know." Evie gave a kind, watery smile. Taking his hand, they walked along the shore, the waves lapping gently at their feet. "I know you better than you know yourself, Daemon.He breathed deeply, the air suddenly feeling lighter, fresher. He could finally say it without drowning in sorrow, without the rain of guilt.It was exhilarating. "I don’t know what I ever did to deserve a woman like you, Evie." Daemonikai said sincerely."I was the lucky one." she exhaled a slow breath."Always have been.""Galilea made me feel strange things. But I was okay with it, for it distracted me from my misery. That was, until I found out why she made me

Daemonikai absorbed her words, letting them wash over him. A profound silence settled between them, broken only by the rhythmic crash of the waves."Do you know why your soul is dying, beloved?" Evie asked.Yes, he did.Daemonikai had always told himself it was because of his grief. That was the story he had clung to when the symptoms first showed.But deep down inside, where the sun never touched, barricaded by walls and locked with an iron key, he knew the truth. Of course, he did.It was because of Emeriel.She was his greatest loss. And that, had sent his guilt into overdrive.Evie nodded, his silence confirmation enough. "Now, will you go to your Soulbond and reconcile with her? I hope you make things right with her. When the time is right, your spirit will return here, not because your soul is dying, but to say goodbye. And then, your sons will be ready."Daemonikai came to a stop, turning to look at her once more. It had always been easy to talk to Evie. While others saw him

PRINCESS AEKEIRAGrand Lord Vladya kissed Aekeira again.All her resistance melted away like wax under a flame, pooling at her feet. Pressing her body against his, she met his tongue with hers, kissing him back hungrily even as her tears kept running free.Light-gods, she has missed him so much.Just like the first time, their kiss went on forever. Aekeira forgot to breathe entirely, losing track of everything yet again.By the time he broke the kiss, she was gasping for air. No longer pinned against the wall, she found herself lying on a thick, blanket-like covering, Lord Vladya half atop her.Through a hole in the cave’s roof, the afternoon sunlight streamed in, casting golden rays across them. Where had the morning gone?Eyes heavy-lidded, body humming with desire, Aekeira could barely think straight.“I want you,” she confessed in a whisper, greedily drinking in the sight of him.Lord Vladya stared at her mouth. "I want you too, Aekeira, so much," he growled, but then, to her surp

"With everything in me. Some days, resisting was as hard as chewing rocks. I have never felt so deprived…until I wanted you but couldn’t go and get you. I could only hope that one day you would return to me."Aekeira's eyes watered. Her heart sang."But I’m terrified to hope." Lord Vladya admitted as he stepped closer, and inhaled her scent. "What if I let myself hope you were mine, and you turn out not to be, like the others…"It would break him beyond repair. Aekeira knew it. She could hear it in his voice.And it terrified her too.Aekeira wanted to be his. Had dreamt of it for years. But dreams were one thing; reality was another. Emeriel was the Syren… and the truth was, Aekeira was not like Em.So what if there was an obvious, irresistible attraction between them? What if his very being craved hers so deeply that his basic instincts went dormant in her absence? So what if she loved this male more than life itself, and he was now staring at her as if his entire world revolved aro

Emeriel cleared her throat. “Tell me about you and Lord Vladya. How is his… health?”Aekeira brushed her hair, the bristles gliding in gentle strokes from root to tip. “It’s gotten much better. There are still days when things are hard—when his episodes are really bad. The voices in his head grow stronger, and his beast becomes ruthless. But we have learned to navigate those days together, better than before.”Her strokes faltered, the brush pausing mid-air as the light in her eyes dimmed. “Even so, those days, though rare, remind me of the inevitable… that he won’t always be here.”Emeriel balled her hands into fists in her lap. She wanted to rise, to wrap her sister in the kind of hug that could chase away the pain in her voice. But hesitation rooted her in place. I haven’t hugged her to comfort her in over two years. How do I start now?Aekeira took a deep breath, her eyes clearing, the heavy misery leaving her. “But we won’t let days like that rule our lives—or his."The sadness

“Starving yourself is not the solution,” Vladya added quietly.“She tried to kill Emeriel. My bloodhost—the one person whose existence is tied to keeping me alive—poisoned and almost killed my Soulbond, the one person in existence who is my life.” The words came out in a suppressed fury, vibrating through the room.His hand gripped the edge of the table until his knuckles turned white. “I knew Sinai was hard—vicious, even—but this? This is vile. This makes me question what else she’s done. What other horrors she has hidden.”“You need her,” Vladya said calmly, even as understanding gleamed in his silver-gray eyes. “Bloodhosts aren’t just anyone, Daemon. You don’t have another, nor does anyone else. They are exceedingly rare, you know this. For another to emerge, the current one must die, and even then, it could take years. Many of our kind do not survive the waiting period." “You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know.”“I wonder about that, you need a reminder, evidently,"

Complete silence.Only the soft rustle of Emeriel's gown and the quiet echo of her last words hung in the air.A single pair of hands began to clap, Vladya's. His eyes shining with a newfound respect. Soon, Ottai joined in, his clap enthusiastic and booming.Then a high lord from the roundtable. And another.One by one, others around the roundtable joined the applause, the sound swelling and reverberating through the grand hall. It was not just polite; it was genuine. Carrying with it an undercurrent of approval.Many high lords nodded, some even wore smiles that were rarely seen in the cold austerity of court.Daemonikai’s chest swelled with pride. It rushed through him, warming him like a draught of fine wine. He had expected a long, tiring resistance. A slow, uphill battle to win over the court.But here she was, his woman, making impressive progress. Already she was bridging the gap with her sincerity and strength.Emeriel raised her head, tears falling from her eyes. She gave

“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
