“That’s a goddamn order, my king.”
“Do the angry words of the day, sir!” Seth cried as he bounced up and down in his seat. “It’s not the same without the angry words of the day.”
Hes so me
For one, it was mine, and secondly, it had a very small circle of students who I was determined to educate to the best of my ability with every spare hour we could find.
Caleb and Tory had taken charge of the last few supply runs and now everyone in our group was dressed like fucking kings and queens.
I glanced through my notes for today’s class. I was teaching them everything I knew, ensuring none of them missed out on their education while we were stuck down
Hes such a good man
“So hot,” Darcy said under her breath as she watched me, shifting in her seat as desire filled her eyes. “Miss Vega, if you keep looking at me like that, I will bring you up here, bend you over my desk and spank you in front of everyone. Is that what you want?” I demanded, trying to ignore the way my cock was twitching for her. She considered that for a second then glanced at her sister and shook her head, her cheeks pinking as she sat back in her seat and withdrew the pencil from her lips.
few notes on auras as chatter broke out among everyone. My heart sank into the depths of my chest because I couldn’t help but feel like I was letting Blue and her sister down, and worst of all, it made me fear I really was as useless as the world now believed I was.
My babyy
It was about this girl who owned my heart and the future she wouldn’t get to live out with me. About my brother and the Heirs and Lance and the pain my loss would cause them. That
I’d given my life for hers and her sister’s because I knew that they were far more deserving of life than I was anyway.
So why does h refuse tto aaccept that the will rule
But this girl in my arms was so much more than that. Worth so much more than me.
Every night we fucked like animals then fell into each other’s arms panting and grinning and telling each other stories about every little thing we could think of. I wanted to know all there was to know about her and the places she’d grown up in, the bond between her and her sister and everything she’d been through, and she was just as interested in getting to know me.
And when she explained about the way she’d lived, how she’d learned to steal to ensure the survival of her and her sister, I didn’t show her any pity either. Only pride in the strength and fortitude she’d found to survive and rise up through the shitty fate they’d been dealt to become the powerful woman she was now.
They’d simply made her harder, stronger and more like the Fae queen she’d been born to be.
knew even if I had an entire lifetime of loving her, it would never be enough.
Perhaps I should have wanted her to find love when I was gone. But I wasn’t a man built to be selfless and the mere thought of it sent a wild kind of fury burning through my limbs alongside a hungry desire to spend this year claiming her so thoroughly that I knew no other man would ever be able to live up to the memory of me. Selfish? Yeah. But fuck it. She was mine.
“Mine,” I snarled in her ear as she fought to push back against me, the curve of her ass feeling so good as I drove into her that I couldn’t help but push a hand between us and press my fingers against her other opening. “Jesus,” she gasped which I’d long since figured out meant ‘hell yes’ in her language and I grinned as I pushed my fingers into her ass and fucked her pussy even harder with my solid cock.
“I get possessive sometimes.” I shrugged, gripping her ass in one hand and tugging her closer so that I could kiss those full lips and taste her some more.
“What was it this time?" she teased. “Did you see me smiling at some other guy again?” I scoffed like that was ridiculous even though I had kinda gone all Alpha on her and dragged her into a side tunnel to fuck her against a wall after I’d seen her laughing with that rebel asshole with the dimples last week. But that wasn’t the point.
And you, Roxanya Vega, are more important to me than all the gold and jewels in the entire world combined. I’d go without them for the rest of my days if it meant I got to steal a moment in your arms with you looking at me the way you are right now. There is nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you safe and to make sure you stay mine. I want to possess you with all the greed and wrath of the monster in me and I want to own you with the desire of a thousand Dragons guarding a priceless treasure, but more than all of that, I just want to love you like this. Endlessly and brutally and possessively. Now

“Darcy,” Roxy gasped even though it hadn’t sounded at all like her sister screaming. But after Cal and Seth had discovered those dead guards weeks ago, we’d all been worried about the people we loved down here.
Roxy called out in relief as we spotted her sister’s blue hair in the group ahead of us. Lance was with her and he caught her arm, tugging her to a halt so that we could catch up to them. Roxy hurried forward and grabbed Darcy’s hand, the two of them exchanging relieved looks and muttered reassurances as I moved to stand beside them.
felt in my soul. If someone was somehow striking at the rebels down here, then it was more than clear to both of us who their real targets would be and the girls standing between us were it.
Dragon fire flickered through me at the thought of anyone trying to hurt the twins and I placed an arm around Roxy’s shoulders, tugging her close to my side as I narrowed my eyes at the people swarming past us. “We should go see who it was,” Darcy said urgently, taking Roxy’s hand and tugging her into a jog as she slipped out of my grip instantly. “Tory too, huh?”
“Darcy refuses to let me protect her as much as I want to.” “That’s because they’re stubborn as all hell,” I grumbled, smirking as Roxy heard me and flipped me off over her shoulder.
"Yeah. Remind me why we’re with them again,” Lance teased but as the two of us continued to jog along behind them like a pair of whipped little guard dogs while blatantly checking them out, the answer to that question seemed kind of pointless.
when we went to Wasted Mountain, Lance? Barney Von something?” “Oh yeah,” he agreed as he moved closer to get a look. “That guy was a dick.” Geraldine gasped as
Hes so mme
“We need to have a word,” he said firmly before turning and grinning in Roxy’s direction just before she twisted around to look back for me. He gave her a friendly little wave, making her smile brightly in return like she thought the two of us were doing some cute brother and boyfriend bonding thing or some shit before she turned away again, and he fixed a glare on me once more. “Did you just bullshit my girl?” I asked him and he leaned closer to me, still giving me a death glare. “Maybe you shouldn’t be throwing stones from your glass house, Darius,” he hissed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Damn
I wanted to punch him in his stupid face. I never had liked this prick. He was always giggling with Lance over their little private jokes or acting so self-assured because he had the damn Sight.
LNAOO
The reality of him having seen that hit me like a punch to the gut. Yeah, I’d known it was coming. I wasn’t a fucking idiot.
It had been eight weeks already, but it didn’t feel like that. It felt like a blink of an eye and barely a taste of everything I’d always dreamed I might be able to claim for myself. A year was never going to be enough, but now I could see that it was going to be so brief that it broke me. I turned back to Gabriel, pain tearing into my chest as I forced myself to face the truth and own up to this. “They were going to die,” I told him, my voice cracking a little
The words fell from my lips in a rush which left me aching with grief as they escaped me. Because I may have been terrified to lose Roxy when I’d made that deal, I may have been more than willing to trade my life for hers because of how strongly I felt for her. But I hadn’t yet experienced what truly getting to love her and be loved by her would feel like. And this bliss which I had stolen for us was rushing to an inevitable end that would only cause her more pain. The one thing I’d sworn never to do again. “I traded my life for theirs.
“This will destroy her,” he breathed, the pain in his eyes on behalf of the girl I loved enough to crack something inside me.
And me too
“I’m weak. I know I should have stayed away from her. I should have spent this year trying to make her fall out of love with me so that it would hurt less when the time came but I…I’m nothing without her, Gabriel. She’s the only girl who ever looked at me and saw the man worth loving within my skin. She didn’t see my position or my power or my wealth. She saw me and she made me become a better man for her. She’s every fantasy I’ve ever had and every dream I ever dared give thought to, but she’s even better than that because she’s real. I can’t give her up. I might as well drive a blade through

The power of the stars had been so immense in that place that I knew there was no denying them in this. I’d made my bargain with them. There was no changing the price. “I’m sorry, Darius…I can’t see any other future for you…”
“I had to do it,” I muttered. “I couldn’t let her die.” Gabriel nodded hopelessly before stepping forward and pulling me into a tight embrace.
“I don’t know anymore. I was born to rule but now I’m fated to
Darius plummeted from the clouds, sending a stream of fire towards our father which lit up the whole world in a deep red glow. He forced Father away from us, giving us another chance to run as I made it to the herd.
“You had so much potential, Darius,” he called bitterly. “You could have been magnificent. But you have your mother’s weak heart in you.” “The only weaknesses I possess were gifted to me by you,” I growled, bracing against his strike again.
My father’s eyes widened in alarm as he fought to hold his shield up against me and I slammed my weight down on top of it,
from Orion’s cupboard. “Highspell made me burn them in preparation for the ‘new age’,” she spat bitterly. “She had me burn the ones on Phoenixes first.”
I hate he
My heart tugged, knowing how Orion treasured his books
I had no fucking idea what he’d just risked his neck for
“Fuck, you’re so powerful,” he gasped, staring at me in surprise as he felt the full weight of my magic. “Not as powerful as me,” Darius muttered, unable to help himself even while he was bleeding out on the ground. “True,” I admitted because of course that was the first thing our father had checked when my magic had been Awakened and he was right. I wasn’t as powerful as my older brother as far as power levels went. “But I have three Elements,” I taunted and Darius chuckled, though it turned into a curse of pain.
“You know you’d be fine without me, right?” he said and a whinny of pain escaped me as I shook my head. “No, I wouldn’t,” I said. “How can you say that? I’d be lost without you, Darius.”
“You’re stronger than that,” he pushed, gripping the back of my neck and pulling me forward so our foreheads rested together. “You’re the good Acrux. Father didn’t corrupt you.”
“What’s in the bag?” I asked curiously as I walked with him after the Pegasus herd. “I grabbed Orion’s dark magic equipment and I owe the twins some stuff they left in the mortal realm,” he said, his brows pulling together, then he jerked his chin at the satchel hanging at my side.
“Darius!” Orion’s voice carried to us, a whoosh of air and a blur of movement signalling his arrival a second before he crashed into my brother and the two of them went sprawling over the ground. “Where the hell did you go?” Darius started explaining as Orion checked him over for wounds, frowning at the bloody injury on his side and pressing his hand to it with a snarl of frustration, muttering something about him not feeling it before they exchanged a look which ended in them laughing.
Their friendshio is EVERYTHIBG
“No clothes for us?” I grumbled and Orion threw me an apologetic look, carving a hand down the back of his neck. “Sorry, it was an old Guardian bond habit,” he muttered. “I can go get some…”
“Oh my stars,” he gasped, grabbing the bag from me and rifling through the books with a youthful smile on his face. I snorted a laugh as Darius gave me a pointed look, realising I’d just lost myself fifty auras, but the look on Orion’s face was definitely worth it. “I’m afraid Highspell had some of your other ones burned,” I said with a frown and I immediately regretted saying that as Orion looked like I’d just told him I’d murdered his puppy. “Burned them?” he rasped and I nodded, offering him an apologetic look as he hugged the bag of books to his chest like he didn’t want them to hear what
