She could only imagine Katie had already reached her limit. Sandra was far from the platform housing the two royals and knew she couldn’t make it. Calling out to her best friend had not done much to change her fate.

The rogue was still going to reach her. Everything seemed to be moving slowly as more divine energy filtered through her system, boosting her body to its peak performance. The girl let her Prometheus gift run loose and dashed for the girl even when she knew she was already too late.

Her mentor was just about to be attacked. Cole’s attention tore away from his mate’s frighteningly bright blue eyes and to the wolf that came out of nowhere. Reacting fast, he pulled his mate away from the wolf as fast as he could, putting himself in between the two. She wasn’t as indestructible as he was. The newly crowned king held on to his mate and waited for an attack that never came.

Instead, a growl filled the room and two creatures crashed next to the thrones in a nasty tangle. Cole looked back and was even more stunned to see a large lion wrestling wolf that had just attacked his mate. The whole room was petrified by the sight and watched the king of beasts dominate the fight against a very disoriented werewolf.

The wolf tried slashing and biting at his new attacker, but the lion was faster and much stronger than him. The lion tripped the wolf and clamped its jaw down on the wolf’s neck. “Don’t kill him,” Katie’s voice broke through the silence. The lion froze at the command and let go of the wolf. However, the lion placed both of its forelegs on opposite sides of the wolf, pinning it to the ground.

The girl’s knees finally gave out. Sensing his mate’s weakness, Cole caught her and lifted her into his arms, “This is the second time you’re having to carry me like this. I hope you don’t think it will be a habit.”

“I will do it even when you’re not weak. That’s a promise. So you hurry up and get better,” the king replied to her.

“Katie, are you okay?” Lina appeared before them, startling them with her sudden appearance. Cole looked between the place the Sirius family had been occupying and the girl that had just reached them and shook off the obnoxious speed she was capable of.

“Yeah, not a scratch on me,” the Luna forced a smile.

“No, Katie, that’s not what I mean and you know it. Look at you. Your eyes won’t stop glowing,” the girl argued.

“My eyes are always glowing. It shows that I’m a...”

“No, Katie... Damn it, would you stop playing dumb with me?” the girl screamed at her.

Katie froze at her sister’s tone. Lina was genuinely worried and unlike her mother, she reached her limit of tolerance much faster, “I will be fine, Lina. You shouldn’t worry like that. I will get better and put an end to this war like I’ve always said I would.”

Thorrin made it to the girl in time to interrupt the sisters’ first conversation in weeks, “Those bright eyes are not a good sign. Katie, I would like you to stop pushing yourself,” the man replied.

“No, not yet. The animals that helped...”

“They will go back to the wild where they belong. You don’t have to worry about them,” the man responded, “I’ll make sure of it. This, I promise. Now rest... Before we have more to worry about than we might be able to fix.”

Heeding the man’s plea, Katie turned her face to stare once more at her loving mate. Cole’s expression was almost unreadable at first, but the bond they shared spoke volumes about the man’s emotions and laid them bare for her to notice.

It was as though his world was beginning to crumble all over again. After losing his mother and father, Katie was all he had left who mattered to him on levels no one could replace, “Promise me you will be fine,” the Luna whispered. With her energy already at its limit, it was a miracle she was still conscious. That’s what her blue eyes were showing. The last reserves of divine energy she had were keeping her conscious, but that couldn’t last long.

In her current state, she found herself unable to convince Cole that she would be getting better. They still didn’t know of a cure for what was affecting her. Her worries, not surprisingly, were not for her own safety. Cole didn’t have a scratch on him and was currently carrying her with next to no effort and yet she worried more about him than herself. ‘I wish there was another way I could ease his pain,’ the girl thought to herself as her mind descended into the dark abyss of her empty consciousness.

This time she didn’t dream like she normally did. Everything simply went dark and silent. In the far background, the receding sounds of the voices from those that cared about her faded more and more.

She could swear she heard a lion’s growl amidst the chaos that surrounded her, but alas, that was all it had been... a growl. It wasn’t like she could understand what the creature had been trying to convey to her.

With barely any divine energy left, her ability to discern the meaning behind that growl wouldn’t come to her. ‘Darla...’ she thought to herself. The pigeon was no longer perching on her shoulder.

Watching everything from the confines of the moon palace was the goddess of the moon. Her fists were clenched, and her face locked in a pained expression as she watched everything happen outside of her scope of control.

Seth found that for once, he couldn’t do anything to ease her nerves. Ever since they’d been visited by the god of the skies, she’d been watching her interruptions more and couldn’t risk breaking the rules or bending them like she used to lest she risked attracting his attention.

There was one thing he could say to her though, “You chose a special one.”

The goddess lifted her head to face him, a warm memory running through her mind, “I always do, don’t I?”

The man chuckled and pulled his wife into a warm hug, “My time is long gone... but she still has time.”
