~ ENRIQUE ~It’s a while later, and the annoying Solaris King has not left my side. It’s been thirty minutes since the jet asked for clearance to land. I’m waiting for Elena or anyone to tell me that the Queen Luna has succeeded. It’s taken too long… it shouldn’t take this long.How will I even face her when I was the one who hurt her daughter?“Where are we headed?” Royce asks.I cock a brow. “Who said we are headed anywhere? I’m headed somewhere. Alone.” I correct him.He smirks. “I’ve decided to come with you,” he states.I scoff. “Isn’t your woman’s mother here? You should go show some respect and visit her,” I say sarcastically.“Yeah? She’s also your woman’s mother, remember? And you’re the alpha of this pack, so really you should go visit the hospital to welcome her. Not to mention it’s Kataleya, your woman, who is in the hospital.”“Yeah, because of me. Remember?”“Not you, you weren’t yourself. That thing had taken you over,” he says quietly.Yeah, I heard… but no matter what
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 32. Trying
~ ENRIQUE ~When we reach the hospital, everyone is there; Liam, Ahren, two other men I’m certain I saw with Leo Rossi at the summit, including Marie, Carlos, the two alphas who flew in, and a few others, like this is a fucking party.And I’m not about to go in there with them all standing around. So, I headed to the packhouse and showered first. Ordering the kitchen staff to serve food for the guests and the house staff to have accommodations in place for the new guests. I then return to the hospital, dressed in a pair of grey sweats and a white T-shirt.“Accommodations are prepared for the additional guests at the packhouse. And the guests who stayed at the Villa, you have also been relocated to the packhouse as Hugo is missing, and I’m not sure how safe the Villa is,” I say clearly. “Food has been prepared, so you should all head there. I’ll stay with Kataleya for the night.”My eyes flicking across the group, daring even one of them to defy me.“We are hungry,” Savio, the dumb dat
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 33. The Reason To Live
~ KATALEYA ~“You are my fucking life, Mi Amor, so please wake up so I can breathe again.”The whisper of the man I love with every particle of my body and soul. Enrique needs me. I fight through the haze that has been lifting steadily, grappling to wake up.I feel a teardrop on my cheek, one that feels like a drop of refreshing coolness in this place. And just like a pleasant breeze, the fog is pushed away. I open my eyes, seeing him turn his head away.Kiké…I reach up with one hand; the pain is pretty much gone, but I feel so exhausted.I gently touch his cheek. He tenses, turning back sharply to me, his heart racing, his eyes full of raw emotion.“Enrique…” I whisper.“You’re awake. Fuck, you’re awake.”He slides off the bed and drops to his knees beside the bed, cupping my head as he kisses my cheeks and forehead before pulling me into his chest.“I’m ok,” I say softly, unable to stop my own tears as I clutch onto his shirt. Reaching up, I cup his face. “Are you?”“Now I am,” he r
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 34. Mine
~ KATALEYA ~My eyes flutter open, and I wonder what woke me as the sun has barely risen and I feel so comfortable in his arms. I inhale my Enrique’s scent and smile happily. There is another knock on the door and I internally pout. I don’t want to get up.“It’s the doctor,” Enrique says, his voice thick and so sexy as he kisses the top of my head before he sits up. Leaning over me, he brushes my hair off my face. “How are you feeling?”“Tired, but good,” I reply, smiling softly.“You can go back to sleep once she’s checked you over,” he replies, kissing my lips softly before reluctantly pulling away. “Enter.”I blush when he gets off the bed, and the tent in his pants is very obvious.“Enrique!” I whisper, motioning with my eyes to the front of his pants as the door opens. He glances down before shamelessly smirking.“And?” he asks cockily, making my cheeks heat up.I don’t reply as the doctor looks me over. “Luna Kataleya, I am Doctor Elena. I will just check your vitals.”“Umm, I’m
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 35. Teasing
~ ENRIQUE ~Her heart thunders before her eyes well up as she stares at the mark that is imprinted on my neck. I want to see it too. Wanting to know how it looks, to see her claim upon me.We enter the bathroom, and I kiss her lips softly before placing her on the floor. I switch the shower on, and unlike the packhouse, there is warm water here. I will need to make sure we have warm water everywhere since My Diosa loves a hot bath, even if I believe cold showers are better.I turn to the sink, looking at the mirror above it and tilt my head to look at my mark. It’s perfection. A mark that clearly personifies her.There’s a white moon, with a crown and sword in front of it, a cherry blossom branch goes across the top past the hilt of the sword. There are scattered cherry blossom petals behind it. A faint hint of pink glow emits from behind the moon and there’s a white long double hexagon shape surrounding the branch, crown, and sword.My heart races as I stare at it.The realisation tha
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 36. Discord
~ KATALEYA ~Oh no, he’s serious! I give him my best doe-eyed pleading expression, but he simply smirks, not falling for my poor cutesy face.“I’m an Alpha King. I’m not going to leave through a fucking window like a pathetic loser. A real man does nothing he’s ashamed of, and I for one feel nothing but satisfied with what we’ve done, Mi Amor.”His words make my heart skip a beat, but no no no! There can’t be excitement when everyone is out there!I decide to change tactics and muster up my most angry face, but he simply chuckles as he switches the shower off, taking hold of my chin and kissing my lips before he grabs a towel and a bathrobe, passing me the bathrobe before he towels my hair for me.I slowly put on the bathrobe, blushing as I admire him as he takes care of my hair.He then dries himself roughly and I can’t help but check him out fully. It’s so naughty of me, but I like seeing him naked… He has a very nice bottom, too.He chuckles slightly. “As much as I don’t mind you en
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 37. My Beliefs
~ KATALEYA ~I swallow slowly, needing a moment to gather my opinion. I want to be fair, and I won’t compromise my beliefs, but at the same time I feel like I understand all of their points of views.I place my spoon down, tugging my bathrobe a little tighter around me, although there’s not much fabric to cover my boobs properly. I sigh softly as I look at everyone in this room.“May I speak until I’ve said everything I need to? With no interruptions?” I ask.Before anyone can reply, Enrique speaks. “I’d like to see who fucking denies you that. You’re in charge, Mi Amor, remember that.”I blush, feeling all eyes on me as Mama smiles.My Papi is so sweet. I glance up at him, our eyes meeting and I try not to hide my face, instead let my hair curtain my face for a second before I stand up.“I’m going to start at the beginning, so be patient with me. We have been struggling for answers. The fear of not knowing what might happen to Enrique has made not only me worried, but all those who lo
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 38. Moving Forward
~ KATALEYA ~“Necromancy is one of the deadliest abilities one can possess. One that no one on this earth should ever have been given access to. It doesn’t just raise the dead. It twists the very basis of reality. It callously tears at the veil between life and death. Those who practice it aren’t just summoning spirits. They, like Mama said, rip the spirits from eternal rest, warping their very essence into something vile and inhumane. The dead do not return as they were, but as hollow, tormented shadows, bound by the twisted will of the necromancer.”His eyes seem to darken as he speaks, making the room suddenly feel colder. His voice sounding deeper… “And with each stolen soul, a price must be paid, with blood, sanity, or worse, with your own soul. The magic itself festers like a sickness, corrupting all it touches, and dragging its wielder deeper into madness. It is said that the more one commands death, the closer one comes to becoming part of it. Until they, too, are enslaved by f

~ KATALEYA ~I wake with a gasp, my lungs clawing for air, it feels like I’m drowning. I suck in a breath, clutching my throat. My heart is thudding but it’s as if the sound of it is coming from all around me, reverberating through the chilling darkness. It’s too silent.This place… it’s similar to Azarakh’s crypt, but not quite.It holds the same evil. Feeling something move, I look down and realise something cold and slimy is clinging to my legs, black tendrils - slithering as though alive.I gasp as I scramble to my feet or try to. The stench of rotting meat and damp earth so thick it feels like it’s inside of my mouth. Shuddering, I try to get up quickly, flinching as pain rushes up my waist and I touch it; there’s no wound, but the pain remains.How did I even get here?I frown slightly, trying to remember what happened.That woman! Her face was so warm and innocent. Was she a part of this? I touch my head. It hurts too.Dragging myself to my feet from the tar-like slime that cove
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 71. The Pain Before Me
~ SKYLA ~Rayhan…I won’t forget this moment, and it won’t be one of those good, happy memories. This one is devastating. The heartbroken Delsanra who has always rushed to help others despite the risk to her own life. Ray…. Ri…Despite everything, they always were there for us, but in their time of need, where the fuck were we?Fuck! Why them?Raihana now wraps her arms around Delsanra as both women kneel on the ground, their grief so strong, their pain so sharp it could carve away flesh from bone.There has to be something we can do!Enrique is examining the symbols, his power swirling around him subtly.I look up at Royce, “Let’s try to open the portal, maybe he’s ok. Royce, Dante, you both saw the symbols-”“It’s too late for that. Kiara said Ahren felt the shift in power. He is now the Alpha of the Black Storm Pack,” Dad says brokenly.“How can he be Alpha?! He doesn’t even have his wolf!” I shout. This can’t be happening!“Love…” Royce wraps his arms around me tightly.“We have to

~ DELSANRA ~“Rayhan…”Something isn’t right, I know it.I know I shouldn’t leave my spot, but the worst is sorted. I warn a few of the warriors I’m moving, and I rush to the crack where Rayhan and the others disappeared. I jump in, creating a barrier around me to protect myself from the crawlers that are still trickling out from the ground.They’re coming in smaller doses now, but they are still resilient.“Does anyone know if they managed to find the opening?” I ask worriedly.“No, not yet. We lost contact ” Liam replies, worry clear in his voice.He’s currently manning the break in the packhouse wall, making sure no crawlers get inside to the people.“We need to get down there!” I hear Sky shout from somewhere above.“What happened?” I ask.“I don’t know. Royce called for help!”My heart thuds as I keep going, moving as fast as possible.I can sense both her and Raihana not far behind me, the urgency and fear within me growing. I suddenly stop as a powerful pulsating that comes from
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 69. A Difficult Choice
~ ROYCE ~We kept going down, and the deeper we go, the more I feel a power that is fucking immense and there’s only one other aura I’ve felt with this much power and that was Apophis’.“Do you guys feel it?” I ask, my voice low, but even then, it feels too loud in this darkness. Occasionally, a crawler or two will hiss and claw at us as they come from somewhere beneath us. A confirmation that we are headed in the right direction.“The aura?” Dante mutters. “Yeah, and I have no idea who it belongs to.”His unease is obvious, and I remain on alert. My royal mark is glowing, and I am not the one who is summoning it forth. Almost as if it too is warning me of the dangers ahead.“Don’t worry I won’t let anything happen to you both.” Rayhan jokes, although we’re both stronger than him.“Don’t fuck around,” Dante’s harsh reply comes.Rayhan turns to him, a flicker of concern on his face. “Dante, do you want to turn back?” he asks.“All three of us?” Dante replies.“I speak for myself. You tw

~ ENRIQUE ~Magic fills the air, strong and powerful and I know it’s Raihana’s. I can feel Delsanra’s reinforcing the barriers, her magic feels different, and there are parts that are not like ours – not from Hecate.Raihana is working on blocking out the moonlight, in a huge attempt to completely stop the crawlers from coming out of whatever shithole they are coming from. Jose quickly filled me in, and I sent more power to both witches, giving them the strength to continue.They are two witches alone and they are doing a lot. Royce, Rayhan and Dante have gone down to find the exact location. ‘Send some warriors to handle the crawlers so they are not burdened.’ I command Jose.It doesn’t even make sense that so many crawlers are able to get in. It’s not a fissure in the veil, but that’s something that’s been obvious from the start. The crawlers have appeared everywhere at any time, not from one point like the chupacabras. They had a different way to get through. Another means that we n
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 67. His Wrath
~ KATALEYA ~My eyes widen as I turn sharply and stare into Enrique’s molten gold eyes.“Enrique!”‘No!’ Azarakh shrieks, the earsplitting sound hammering into my head causing me to flinch.“I’m sorry it took a while,” Enrique murmurs in his deep, beautiful voice that makes my stomach flutter. I shake my head before looking back towards the spot where Dad had fallen. I can’t see him! I can’t sense a heartbeat amongst the storm of crawlers.“How did you break free?” I ask softly, torn between running to Dad and keeping my hold on Azarakh.I know Enrique is in control for now. I can sense his presence, his aura strong and free from darkness.“You needed me,” he answers softly as he stands tall. “You’re my strength, Mi Amor.” My heart surges with so much emotion as we gaze into one another’s eyes, pink and gold, perfectly complimenting each other.Azarakh’s form has solidified as he fights to keep a grasp on Enrique, but he’s failing.His unearthly shrieks are all that he has left as Enr
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 66. Not This Time
~ KATALEYA ~Azarakh’s mouth twists into a snarl as he lifts his claws, aiming for my heart. I can see the glint of triumph as he lunges at me, but I hold my ground, letting him think he’s got me. But the moment his claws dig into my waist, slicing through fabric and skin, the smell of the hot rush of blood, and the sharp sting of agony makes me cry out. I suck in a gasp, gritting my teeth as I clamp my hand around his wrist, ignoring the searing pain at the contact.In a single motion, I call forth every ounce of power I have, letting it surge forward in a blinding wave. A scream leaves me as I put everything into it. My blinding pink aura swirls around him in a flash, engulfing him completely. Azarakh recoils, his shrieks cutting through the night like metal scraping against metal. He claws at his prison of light, his form writhing, his shadowy form twisting in agony as he tries to escape and get away from my aura.But not this time. My aura is like an iron cage holding firm, shackli

~ KATALEYA ~‘We can share! I told you together we could have had it all. Yet you declined!’ Azarakh hisses, but he’s still only clinging to Enrique. The shadow form still surrounds him, but he hasn’t possessed him yet. Or perhaps he can’t.I fuel my power forward, trying to reach through our half-formed bond.“I would never choose you,” I say, my voice quiet yet firm. “Never.”‘You served your purpose, and you will continue to do so. That is why you were chosen, whether you wished for it or not.’ He chuckles darkly.What does he mean?“How do you have a hold on, Enrique? He is not evil,” I ask as our powers continue to slam against one another, attacking, hammering against one another. Light against dark.‘We were created from the blood of the same goddess. One could say we are brethren.’ I shudder at the very thought as his evil eyes now burn into me. His sharp teeth stained with blood. ‘The Goddess Hecate created us for another goddess, yet she betrayed my goddess by creating someon
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 64. Into the Darkness
~ RAYHAN ~“Alright, let’s do this,” I say, looking at Royce and Dante the moment the three of us are within reach of one another.“We’ll have your back and cover you from behind,” Royce says.“I’m assuming you can’t mask the moon, Magic Fingers?”“I wish I could, but with that tornado thing going on, it would need a lot of power without being sure of the results.”“And you would call every single crawler to you,” Dante adds.“Not necessarily a bad thing, really. I could be the decoy,” Royce answers as they both cut through the crawlers and I asses the area.“I don’t think so,” Skyla says through the earpiece.“Don’t worry, Love, I’ll return to you in one piece. But call me back if you need my help, Raihana, I’ll be there.”“Thanks, I’ll let you know,” she replies.“It’s intriguing how our auras attract the crawlers but somehow Kataleya’s is the only one who isn’t attracting crawlers with her aura. Instead, hers is deflecting them,” I murmur as I look through the storm of crawlers, aur
