CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE

Exhaustion is an old companion. So is grief.It’s been two weeks since the battle.Two weeks since Damien was shot by an arrow which should have killed but didn’t. Two weeks since I have heard his voice.“Caleb,” I murmur, tiredly, and he doesn’t look up.This time my voice is a bit louder, “Caleb.”His head jerks up and I see the bags under his eyes, “Sorry. I was lost in thought.”I place a cup of tea before him, “Yeah, I figured. You haven’t had anything to eat since morning so I asked Marty to make you something. Here’s some tea in the meantime.”Caleb sits back, his golden eyes unseeing, “Thank you.”I hand him a warm shawl that I brought with me. He takes it, grateful, “Is it always so cold here?”“No,” comes Fera’s weary voice from behind them. “The entire demon realm has become unstable because of Damien.”I look over at Fera as she joins us at the table, “Have you eaten? You’ve been awake for a while.”With Damien struggling with life and death, Fera has been the

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO

Fera stares at me stunned, “You know?”“We’ve not had time to talk about what happened when I was captured by the elves but Balin revealed a lot to me, Fera. I even –” I hesitate, “I think some of the past Righs managed to communicate with me.”She looks pale and I try to reassure her, “You don’t have to walk on eggshells around me anymore. The moonshine is long out of my system. And with Damien in the state he is, we need to find a way to save him, no matter what it takes.” When she falls silent, I look at Caleb, “Why did you ask me about that?”Caleb looks reluctant for some reason, “I – It’s very rare for a Righ to not be already mated to her protector, which is the demon lord. I was under the assumption that perhaps your situation was different-”“I was captured by the elves like I told you,” I tell him, tightly. “Well, at first, they had me convinced of some twisted version of the truth-” which she still didn’t know as yet – “and when they got me to their village, they fed m

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE

“Is that even safe?!” Fera bursts out.“As safe as can be,” Caleb assures her. “I will have to put her into a trance-like state but she will not be harmed. Unfortunately, there is one thing that might be a hindrance.”“What?”He look at me, “I can only put you in the trance for a week. It’s going to put a lot of mental strain on you. A week is the limit.”“If it doesn’t work the first time-“You can’t go back in,” Caleb shakes his head. “With the moonshine having been in your system in such copious amounts, we can’t take the risk.”“So what do we do then?”“You’re willing?” he asks.“Of course!” I need to do something!Seeing Damien so still and lifeless is killing me. I’m still staying in our room, just not on the bed. I spend my nights, talking to him, stroking his hair, trying to get him to respond. I spend my days napping where I can.“We’ll do it tonight then,” Caleb says, firmly.Just then Marty barges in with food and the conversation comes to a halt. But my mind is s

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR

“What is happening outside?!” Fera strides towards me when I enter the castle, dazed. “There’s such a commoti-” Her words die down when she sees the large group following me, “Uh, what is going on, Isabel?”“I –” My mouth is dry. “They swore fealty to me.”I look over my shoulder at the massive group. Not all of them followed me but a majority did.“You had the creatures of the demon realm swear fealty to you?” Fera gapes at me.“I – I’m sorry?” I feel just as confused. “I swear I didn’t mean to.”“I’m not – I’m not asking you to apologize. But how is this possible? The creatures of this land respect the Righ but they’ve never sworn fealty to her before.”“Maybe it’s because of Damien’s situation,” I murmur. But Fera isn’t paying any attention to me, her lips moving and it takes me a moment to realize that she is counting. Finally, she says, slowly, “Except for the Rhoder Tribe, you’ve got one member of each family of creatures. Guards, it seems. Or representatives? What di

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE

I wake up in a gloomy place which makes me frown. It’s dark and damp and I sit up, trying to get my eyes adjust to what is before me.A forest of some sort.I get to my feet and take a few steps forward before realizing that I am alone. My wolf isn’t here with me.It’s an unsettling feeling.Wetting my dry mouth, I call out, “Damien?”Nothing.I really don’t like the look of this forest for some reason. It’s creepy. “Damien!” I shout out now. “Are you here?”I hear a giggling sound and I freeze in fear.Oh, God! Don’t let his Arush be some horror movie scene! I can’t handle psycho knife waving freaks!Another giggle and then a head pops up from a bush. It’s a child. A child with dark curls and amber eyes, “Hi!”He really seems like he’s in the wrong place.“Are you – Are you lost, kid?” I ask, weakly. “Maybe you’re supposed to be in someone else’s Arush.”He grins, “Who’re you?”“I-Isabel,” I watch him climb out of the bush. He looks to be around five.“I’m looking

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX

I stare at him, “What?”He shrugs, pulling me along with him, “Come on! The end is nearly there!”“Where?”I look forward and suddenly where there had only been darkness, I see something that I can only describe as sunlight.I blink.“Am I seeing things?”The child giggles, “You’re funny.”We keep walking-running till we reach the edge of the forest. I step outside into the light only to feel the boy release my hand. I look over my shoulder to see him standing there, in the shadows of the forest, “Well? Aren’t you coming?”He shakes his head, “I can’t.”“What do you mean?” My brows furrow together.“I can’t go beyond the forest,” he smiles at me. “But you’ll be fine now.”Something about the way he looks at me, makes my heart ache. I step towards him and then crouch down, kissing him softly on the cheek, “Okay then. You be careful now.”He smiles at me before taking a few steps back. I keep standing there till I can no longer see him and I feel an odd sensation in my chest.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN

I stare at Damien, taken aback by the shift in his tone It’s less cold fury and more of a mild annoyance.“What? Do you know him?”He mutters something under his breath.“What was that?”“Never mind,” he studies me. “So Caleb is out there With you.”I frown, “What’s going on in your head? I just told you he’s not-”“I’ll decide that,” he says, abruptly, adding something nasty under his breath, aimed at the monk.“You know for someone who is thousands of years old, you sure don’t act like it,” I tell him before looking around. “So what is this place?”He shrugs, tucking his hands in his pockets, “I just woke up here. It’s oddly peaceful.”“Well, snap out of it,” I scowl. “You can’t stay here.”“Has anyone ever told you that you have a terrible bedside manner?” He shakes his head at me.“Well, I’m a little short on time.”“Why?” He grins. “Have places to be?”I stare at him, “The demon realm is fracturing, Damien. Fera is trying to manage everything. She is barely eating. Th

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT

I jolt in shock at his words, “What?”Damien’s eyes are glued on what’s happening around us, “When the elves realized that everything they had done was for naught, in their fury, they used a necromancer to curse the Righ and all that came after her. That’s why I once told you that the Righ’s life is never easy. There are too many hardships.”“But the Gods! Couldn’t they do something?” I feel anger simmering within me. “They sent the Righ in the first place and they’re all powerful-”“They could but they didn’t,” Damien’s voice is ruthless in his own anger. “As long as their purpose was fulfilled, they didn’t care. But they also did not like that the elves interfered in their decision. Especially when the elves found another use for the Righ. That’s why they shunned the elves to the Forest of Shadows. They wanted an entire realm? Now they have to live in a forest. Since the Others now cohabit in the human realm, the elves were forced into a small corner. They did attempt an uprising

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE

I stare at him, “Why do you have to make it sound like that?”“Like what?” Damien raises a brow.“Like you’re doing me a favor!”He grins, “You’re overthinking this-”“Then why are you laughing?!”He wraps his arm around my shoulder, “Maybe because I like watching you get all worked up.”“Sadist.”“I’m the demon king for a reason,” he whispers before pressing his lips against my temple in a surprisingly affectionate gesture. I push him away before wrapping my arms around my knees, “I’m serious, Damien.”“I know,” his voice is unexpectedly quiet. I sneak a look at him and he’s wearing a distant expression on his face. “Love can’t be forced, little wolf, and neither can bonds. I know that from personal experience.”Dismay is like a punch in the gut, “But how do I-”“That monk is wrong,” Damien murmurs. “The Arush will heal me itself. He always was an idiot. Just because you are desperate to save me doesn’t mean the mating bond with form for you. It has never formed so quickly

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY

“What?”Damien stares at me, seemingly stunned, “What?”His anger drains from him almost instantly, “What are you talking about?”I study him, “Your children were killed. She was unable to protect them. She couldn’t face you when you finally came for her.”Damien’s face is pale, “How do you know that?” “That day,” I flinch at the memory, “when I was taken by the elves, I think the Righs helped me survive the torture.”Damien’s jaw tightens at the mention of the whipping.“Sila was there and I saw –” I feel weird talking about what I saw, almost like someone peeking through a window. “I saw what happened, the whole thing. I saw her kill herself, and I felt her guilt, her own trauma.”Damien’s expression closes off and he turns away from me but I grab his arm, “Damien, they broke her. You would never have gotten your Sila back. She was a shell of that woman you loved.”My voice is steady and I don’t know why it’s so easy to talk about a woman Damien loved. Maybe it’s because my
