Chapter 41 – The Deathly Gifts

RHETTAs we navigated through the opening our warriors created, weaving and striking at the few dark soldiers that managed to get by our fighters, I looked ahead. A second unit of soldiers descended from the horizon, blocking us from our intended goal.They seemed in no rush, quickly moving towards the battle but with nowhere near as much gumption as the first wave.The beast inside me itched to fight. To jump from the dirt bike and join the ranks in massacring the evil bastards. I kept a hold of my inner beast, reminding myself we had a greater goal.I had never laid eyes on Aodh, but from the descriptions I had heard he was bigger than life, with eyes that glowed red, armor that was darker than a starless sky, and a staff that seemed to be the center of his magic or power.Tales were told of the helmet he wore, that adorned horns and spikes, his skin black and cracked. Some tales even told his blood was like lava that you could see move under his skin and through the cracks that cove

Chapter 42 – Regis Rock

All The Queens Kings - Book 8/Jwgstout

LAMIAI knew they had it in them. When Morgan first conjured the idea, I was skeptical. One because it was a last-minute change, but then again, the second wave of the dark army was a surprise. This didn’t happen before, in our past lives. But also, I wasn’t sure it would work, combining their gifts to make the echo’s effective weapons.They proved me wrong and I’m glad I showed faith in Morgan and Leneve. Only a few handfuls of the dark army remained between us and our target.The goal we had in mind was now a reality and possibility again thanks to them.I sheathed my swords again, finding the bike I had leapt off, determined to wipe out as many as possible and allow Morgan and Leneve to work their magic. I kick the bike into gear, but the damn thing doesn’t start, “Shit, I growl.”Looking up I see the top of the crest that leads down into the valley where Aodh sits and waits, at Regis Rock.Regis rock was an ancient ground, used by spiritualists and Alchemists. Where once upon a tim

All The Queens Kings - Book 8/Jwgstout

The last update I posted, I was having back issues. Unfortunately a couple of days after posting my mother has been in & out of hospital. This is all I am willing to say at the moment. I know many are patiently waiting for the final chapters of All the Queens Kings, as well as Renegade Wolves to carry on. I have NOT abandoned the books but it has been a challenge to find my writing groove and sit in front of the computer with so much going on in my personal life. I hope to be able to deliver the final chapters of All the Queens Kings to my wonderful readers very soon ❤️ xx

Chapter 43 – Reanimated

All The Queens Kings - Book 8/Jwgstout

LAMIATightening the grip on my swords, my fingers curl around the handles, claws extending from my nails and cutting into my palms.Very few times have I felt the inner power of my gifts or needed to use them but today I recall the first time. The first time Inanna whispered in my head to use my blades; the first time I was told the blades I hold would channel my strengths.The blood from my palms seeped into the handles, and the sharp cool steel began to glow with my essence, coming alive once more, and that authoritative energy that scared even me began to claim my body.I felt energy rise up, vibrating and zinging inside me. My anger at the current situation and the god that has killed my people mercilessly, drove me to feel unhinged.Like a blazing volcano hate and intolerance rose to the surface. My eyes glowed brilliantly green, so fierce that I could feel their heat like a burning fire.Through the rain and flashes of light, my hair dripping and plastered to my face, I peered t

Chapter 44 – The Power of a God

All The Queens Kings - Book 8/Jwgstout

MATHIASFinn and I emerge from the rock formation at the right time, seeing Aodh point his staff toward Lamia and Kellen.A heavy pulse emanated from the glow of the jewel that sat atop the blackened scepter. One so powerful that it pushed back against Lamia’s knights, almost holding them in place.I felt this power before when I faced Aodh, yet this time it didn’t immobilize me. Maybe because I wasn’t the focus of his attention or maybe because Arcas and I were stronger. Whole.Mike’s gift sparks to light, pushing back against the cosmic magic. Morgan and Leneve were desperately trying to counter Yggdrasil’s spell as Tobias and Crimson fought the dead that kept coming.Through the pouring rain magic lay heavy in the air. Kellen needed to distract Aodh now if I was to have a chance at snatching his staff. I open a link to the King of Werewolves *Now!* I command him, *Do it now Kellen!* I yell hoping to seize the opportunity.The ashy taste of betrayal fills my mouth as I watch Kellen k

Chapter 45 – The Darkness From Within

All The Queens Kings - Book 8/Jwgstout

LENEVEMy eyes flick open when I feel the soft and delicate hand of Morgan slip from mine. The concentration I held, trying to counter Yggdrasil's spell, breaks as Morgan falls to the ground.Her hands dug into the softening dirt. Sandy mud splashes and covers her white dress as her body tenses, and she lets out a cry akin to a wounded deer sending shivers down my spine as I feel her despair.Stooping down to grab Morgan, loudly I cry out “Help me!” I don’t know who is near, and I don’t look as my sister witch painfully cries her mate's name.“Kian.” She sobs, pushing her fingers deeper into the softening mud. She gasps and grits her teeth, “Finn, Matt…”My heart plummets hearing her call to her brothers. Knowing Finn was just launched across the rocky terrain and King Mathias was laid out still gripping the broken staff. She didn’t know if they were alive or dead. The most important people in the realm to her were injured.I could only assume she could feel their demise. Mostly her ma
