A SPY IN THE DARK THANE ( The sorcerer who accompanied Darius , the Vampire General ) I had never made such a precise decision in my life .

I never liked Darius extreme methods , but I could only follow his orders .

He was the one in charge , so I forced even more of his life force into that pups already weakened body , fully aware that he wouldnt survive such an aggressive invasion I heard the entire translation of the Altar from the lips of that strange woman because my magic acted as the mediator within the boys body .

When the fighting began , I stayed in the crypt to maintain the portal spell , the one through which General Dariuss men had entered to fight .

Everything went to shit in a heartbeat .

Even though I wasnt physically present , 1 still trembled in fear , watching everything through my shadow magic .

My mind was racing The General was dead , and no one had survived .

Who the hell was that woman ? I didnt know exactly , but I quickly understood one thing the Vampire King would be very interested in knowing what happened here .

And there was now a vacancy for General … one I could possibly fill I stood at the last passage , hidden in a comer they hadnt noticed .

Both women were weak , and the greatest threat was unconscious .

I could strike now .

But then I saw them beginning to flee .

The she wolf was carrying the other one , as if trying to protect her from something or someone .

Escaping from what ? Or from whom ? A deafening roar echoed from somewhere in the distance , making me shudder in fear .

I didnt hesitate another second That woman who had killed the General was important not just because of her powerful transformation but because she could read the Altars .

If the Lycan King found her , he would kill her .

I had to erase the evidence of what happened here .

If she survived , she could still be captured later .

Taking the risk , Lstepped through the portal into the basement and , within seconds , opened my small satchel , pulling out the enchanted flame beetles .

They devoured the bodies , reducing them to ashes as they self- destructed in the process .

I left the childs body untouched some small attempt to soothe my conscience .

Then , I ran back toward the shadow filled passage and threw myself into it , sealing it forever behind me .

Sweating and trembling with fear , I knew it if I had hesitated even a second longer , Aldric Thorne would have 1/3 +25 BONUS A SPY IN THE DARK grabbed my legs and torn nie to pieces .

I must escape these damned lands .

Ive drained too much of my magic .

I need to reach His Majesty and deliver the good news … no matter what .

CELINE This was complete nadness , and I knew it all too well .

I had always been the one to analyze risks and benefits , yet I had acted purely on impulse .

The reckless , foolish decision was taking its toll I couldn surface .

I hadnt imagined the waters force would be so brutal .

Being wounded and clutching Valeria as if my life depended on it didnt help either in fact , it was slipping away .

My lungs burned .

The oxygen was running out , and for a moment , I even thought of letting her go she would drown with me anyway .

Bubbles of air burst from my mouth as my body struck a massive submerged rock .

The current was growing stronger , pulling us toward another drop , one that would truly be our grave .

Valerias black hair floated before my eyes in the few moments I managed to open them .

Darkness crept into my senses .

I stopped fighting .

And just when I thought I couldnt hold on any longer , a powerful body seized her and dragged me along too through the icy waters .

Cough , cough , cough .

I rolled onto the riverbank where I was thrown , struggling to pull air into my lungs , coughing up water violently .

My entire body was weak , aching , and wounded … but I was alive .

And right beside me , I saw him Aldric , in his human form , crouched over Valeria , who lay unconscious on the grass .

My blood ran cold .

I hadnt expected him to reach us so quickly .

For a brief second , I had hoped it would be my brother .

Had Valeria returned to normal ? I clutched my chest , trying to steady my breath , thinking of the consequences , believing that any moment now , he would rise in fury and rip her head off .

But that wasnt what happened .

Baby , please … wake up .

Valeria , come on , love … dont do this to me again .

Wake up , little one … His voice broke in a way I had never heard before .

I shifted slightly , watching him handle her so carefully , and I exhaled in relief as I noticed the changes she had returned to her normal form .

It was obvious to anyone that the King favored his maiden .

I could even smell it on her like theyd had sex .

But that wasnt the shocking part , A SPY IN THE DARK +25 BONUS What caught me off guard was watching Aldric clutching her desperately , pressing her to his chest , slicing open .

his palm to feed her , whispering words of love as he begged her to return .

Wait , Your Majesty ! Your blood is toxic for her ! I blurted out , realizing the danger too late .

No.

Valeria can drink it .

Dont tell anyone , he replied coldly , not breaking his gaze from her as he continued feeding her .

The Kings maiden began to stir , swallowing the powerful lycan blood he offered .

At this point , nothing about Valeria shocked me anymore .

How much did the King really know about his lovers … peculiarities ? I watched them from the corner of my eye , tearing down some vines to cover my nakedness while Aldric leaned closer , kissing her forehead and whispering something against her ear .

The cold , cruel Lycan King had clearly fallen under the spell of this dark , powerful woman .

Now that I reflect on everything that happened , a growing sense of dread grips me .

I immediately mind link my brother , scanning my surroundings .

A sudden gust of wind made me tense , barely giving me time to react before I was pinned by the neck against a tree .
