1. For Those We Loved

MORGANA

We had won!

A trumpet sounded, along with the howling of wolves ringing in the air. I knew for miles around it would be heard, resounding our victory. The fae seemed to realise what had happened and began t o fall back. Kian shifted back, motioning for our men who were chasing the fae to stop. Yet his eyes didn’t leave mine.

My heart thumped seeing him, completely fine… alive… We had made it.

I knew he was probably angry at the reckless move I had pulled but when Reuban had pulled me from the thick of the battle, I had shouted at him that I needed to go back. That was until I saw Kian’s wolf in the midst of the fire. I rode on his back until I came to where Kian was fighting the final of the four commanders. The idea had come suddenly to me, and seeing the opportunity I had gone for it.

“That was fucking crazy.” He growled, his eyes flashing, as my stomach fluttered. “But…”

I blushed faintly, realising he was completely naked as he pulled me into his arms.

“But..?” I asked, my heart pounding as I held on to him tightly.

“But fucking incredible. Just don’t fucking do that again.” He said huskily before his lips crashed against mine, sending rivets of pleasure coursing through me. I locked my arms around his neck, not caring that we were both covered in dirt and blood. The pain that I knew we were both feeling at the loss of our friends, family and people remained, but right now, all I needed was his touch to tell me it was all ok…

“We have won.” He whispered against my lips. I smiled softly, moving back as I stared into his eyes.

“We have.”

He pulled away, looking around at our people. Vampires, elves and werewolves were gathering. I saw the two captains of the vampire armies, Orrian, Ajax and Reuban. Where was Luca? I looked at Kian questioningly as one of his men gave him some pants, and he shook his head, my heart clenched.

We lost him…

“As one… We defeated this enemy… In the process, we lost a king… a beta… and many more. Each loss was not without cause. From this day forth, I promise that our kingdoms will always unite with yours. The Kingdom of Elandorr and The Sanguine Empire will always have Clair De Lune by their side, in hardship and when in need, we will be there for you. Today, victory was ours, yet it cost us greatly. Bury our dead and burn the enemy!” He said. I turned to the sun that was now in the sky, putting the burning fire around us to shame.

We had done it.

Two weeks had passed since that day. We had lost many, including Luca, Corbin, and to my surprise, even Sage. I knew Kian would always feel guilty for her end and I understood that. She truly loved him… and she had died for him…

And Azrael? I had gone to break the news to Anastasia… I will never forget the way she fell to her knees, crying for the loss of her beloved. I remained there by her side for two nights, promising to take care of my nephew and to always be there for him.

Azrael had died to save me. Despite his wrongs in life and his attitude, in the end, he had somewhat redeemed himself and did what was right. I would make sure Remiel became a king that both his father and mine would be proud of.

Anastasia would remain queen and run the kingdom alongside the royal advisors, until Remiel was old enough. I made sure to let Anastasia know that I would always be there for them when they needed me.
