|ORION|Hurrying through the corridors of the palace, my steps quickened as I made my way to the East wing.Her wing.The tension from the recent council visits lingered in the air, keeping me on edge. My fists clenched involuntarily as I braced myself for whatever awaited me behind Astraea's door."Greetings, Sire," the guards acknowledged as I approached, their expressions grave. Ignoring their formalities, I pushed open the door without hesitation."Star, I—" My words faltered as I took in the sight before me.Astraea stood before me, in the midst of dressing herself. But what caught my attention wasn't her attire—it was the bandages that covered her body, like a second skin. It dawned on me then why she had been wearing long sleeves and high-necked dresses ever since we returned from Toron.“Orion, I'm dressing,” she stated calmly, her eyes meeting mine with a mixture of weariness and determination.My anger surged within me like a raging inferno. "Who... who did this to you, Star

|ASTRAEA|"Princess Astraea," one of the council members spoke, his tone dripping with condescension. "We are pleased that you could join us."Inside the building, a hushed atmosphere greeted me, the air heavy with anticipation and tension. The grand chamber was adorned with intricate tapestries and ornate furnishings, a stark contrast to the solemn faces that awaited me within.I straightened my spine, refusing to be intimidated by their condescending airs. “So you are the council, the ones who make Orion come back from every meeting fuming with anger. Tch.” I said as their eyes widened at my words.“Excuse me?” One of them, a blonde haired celestial being glared at me as her fists rested clenched on the table.“You're quite excused, there's the door.” I said, pointing at the doors and they murmured, the blonde haired woman looked like she had all the life in her body drained out.Two taps on the table and the whole table went quiet. To think they hadn't even offered me a seat yet.

|ASTRAEA|“Hello Astraea.” I gasped looking around the room to see striking blue eyes staring at me as he walked out of the shadows.“Miss me?” I trembled as I stumbled on my feet, landing on the soft carpet of my room.“A-alan….w-what are you doing here?” Fear gripped me as his slender finger grabbed my chin drawing blood.“I am here to claim my betrothed, did you think you could run away from me?” I gasped as I crawled hurriedly to the door but I felt pull on my hair.His slender fingers were wrapped around my ponytail, fisting it as he pulled me backwards. “Try better next time.”“Help!” I screamed as he pulled me by the hair, dragging me outside the room and towards the hallway.The echo of my scream reverberated through the empty halls, my voice filled with desperation and fear as I struggled against Alan's iron grip. Each step he took felt like a step closer to my doom, my heart pounding in my chest as panic threatened to consume me.But just as I feared the worst, a familiar f

|ASTRAEA|The sound of metal against metal echoed throughout the training grounds as the swords collided. We sparred fiercely, Terielle and I moving with fluid precision and countering each other's strikes quickly.I concentrated on my gait, adjusting deftly to sidestep Terielle's blows while sustaining a constant offensive of my own. The fierceness of the duel strengthened my resolve and inspired me to go above and beyond my comfort zone.My veins pounded with adrenaline with every swiss of our blades, enhancing my senses and focusing my attention. Every action turned into a calculated risk, a calculated move meant to give us the advantage in our never-ending struggle.Terielle showed herself to be a very tough opponent; she was precisely as skilled and agile as I was. However, I resisted giving in and met her blows with unwavering determination, using every ounce of strength and resolve I had.In that moment, nothing else mattered except the exhilarating rush of combat, the thrill of

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE|ASTRAEA|“Very funny,Kallias.”“Do I look like I'm joking?” I stared at him breathless, his azure eyes entrancing me. “I-”“You owe me, little wolf.”I swallowed hard, feeling a knot form in my stomach at his words. "What do you mean?"Kallias stepped closer, his presence overwhelming as he towered over me. "You promised, remember?" His voice was low, sending shivers down my spine.My mind raced as I tried to recall any such promise, but all I could remember was the vague sense of indebtedness I felt towards him. "I... I don't..."He leaned in closer, his breath warm against my ear. "Don't play coy, Astraea. You owe me a favor, and now it's time to repay it.""I thought you didn't want me around, so why now?" I questioned, trying to make sense of his sudden change in behavior.Kallias's expression softened slightly, his eyes reflecting a hint of regret. "I didn't get my share of time with you, now..."Before I could fully process his response, he covered my eyes w

|ORION|Feets clacked on the crystal floor as I fumed, trying to rein it all in.I could smell his scent all over her.He touched her, took her and she tried to protect him by hiding it from me.How dare he.“It's not like he abducted her, Orion.”Rehema sighed trying to talk me out of what I planned to do. “You are taking it too far, Brother.”Smoke surrounded the room and a pair of azure eyes met with my obsidian ones. Rehema tried to reason with me, her voice tinged with concern, but I couldn't hear her over the roaring fury coursing through my veins. Kallias stood before me, his expression a mix of surprise and defiance as I advanced towards him, my anger boiling over.Before he could react, my fist connected with his jaw, the impact echoing through the room. He stumbled back, caught off guard by the sudden assault.“How dare you touch my mate!” I seethed, my voice a low growl as I loomed over him, my fists clenched at my sides.Kallias recovered quickly, his own anger flaring as h

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN|ORION|I was back here, in his territory.The flames heated up, hot enough to make my blood boil, to mess with my head but not enough to burn me.Screams echoed as the Onyx eyes appeared crouching beside me, his shirt still stained of blood. It was the ceremonial coronation outfit that gods wore when they were about to be crowned as rulers of their realm.I had never said his name since the last time I saw him, the look of horror in his eyes as his blood splashed on his dark hair was still etched on my mind.“Arien.”He blinked, then burst into laughter, his pearly white teeth stained with blood as he wiped tears from his eyes.“I kept telling myself you were possessed, that you would never raise a sword to me, but…” He paused, staring at his bloody chest.The flames flickered and danced around us, casting eerie shadows that seemed to dance with malevolent intent. I remained rooted to the spot, my gaze locked with Arien's, the memories of our violent confrontatio

|ASTRAEA|“You'll be living with the moon goddess for now,” Rehema had said earlier before dropping us off at the moon goddess’ palace.I had not seen Orion since the day I waved to him from the training grounds.He didn't even say goodbye.As Rehema bid us farewell and departed, leaving Eloise, Terielle, and me alone in the grand halls of the moon goddess's palace, the soft echo of a maid's footsteps filled the air. A gentle voice broke the silence, welcoming us to our new temporary home."We are honored to have you here," the maid said, her voice warm and comforting. "Please, follow me. I will show you to your chambers, where you can rest after your long journey."I exchanged glances with Eloise and Terielle, a mixture of exhaustion and anticipation reflected in their eyes. Together, we followed the maid through the labyrinthine corridors of the palace, marveling at the opulence surrounding us.Eventually, we arrived at our separate chambers, each one adorned with luxurious furnishi

|ASTRAEA|She offered me a warm smile in return, her presence a comforting presence in the midst of uncertainty. "You are welcome, Princess Astraea," she replied. "Rest assured, you are in good hands here."Some guards rushed into the dining hall as they started at the Moon goddess, communicating with their minds."I have to cut our dinner short here, you all can continue without me." We all rose up as she exited the dining hall, before sitting down again.As the moon goddess left the dining hall, there was a sense of calm that settled over us. We exchanged glances, reassured by the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded us."Well, that was unexpected," Eloise remarked, breaking the silence with a chuckle. "I wonder what urgent matter she had to attend to."Terielle nodded in agreement, her expression relaxed. "It must be something important," she mused, reaching for another serving of food. "But I'm sure everything will be fine."Saoirse smiled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "It's n

|ORION|"Welcome back, sire." Lotar's voice rang through my ears as my eyes snapped open, the ache in my head not going unnoticed."Lotar," I acknowledged, my voice hoarse as I struggled to sit up, the events of the previous day still fresh in my mind. "How many days has it been?""It's been three days, Sire. Longer than before." Isighed,rubbing my temple."What's the situation?""We've received reports of increased activity in the borderlands," Lotar replied, his tone grave. "It seems the enemy forces are preparing for another assault."I grimaced, the weight of responsibility pressing down on me like a heavy burden. "Gather the troops," I instructed, my mind already racing with plans and strategies. "We must be ready to defend our territory at all costs."Lotar nodded, his expression serious. "At once, sire."As Lotar hurried off to carry out my orders, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach. The looming threat of war hung over us like a dark c
