로그인Mila’s POVI stared at them. Every face I had spent a year missing stood before me smiling and real. I was Free.The room was bright with morning sunlight, a warm breeze drifting through the open windows.For the first time in so long I wasn’t surrounded by black marble halls or crimson skies.I wasn’t trapped in the underworld.“How is this real?” I whispered.Hansel squeezed my hand. “You’ve been asleep for so long.”I shook my head.“No… no, that’s impossible, I was in the demon realm.”Everyone exchanged confused glances.“The what?” Conrad asked.“The demon realm!”I sat up straighter despite the weakness in my body. “The King… Bastian… Supreme… Vaelor…”I looked from one face to another. “You have to listen to me.”“There are demons and they’re trying to escape.”“The King needs my blood to complete his ritual—”“Mila.” Marcus’ voice was gentle. “You don’t have to force yourself.”“I’m not forcing anything!”I looked desperately toward Hansel.“You know me.”“You know I wouldn
Mila’s POVThe arena remained silent for several long seconds after my hand connected with Elle’s face.She got up form the ground and her red eyes burned with fury. “You slapped me.”I blinked innocently. “Did I?”“You know you did!”“I…” I genuinely didn’t know what to say.Rina coughed inside my mind.“You are absolutely not blaming this on me.”“I wasn’t going to.”“You were thinking it.”“Maybe.”Elle took a furious step forward.“You—”“Enough.”The King’s voice rolled across the arena like thunder.Every conversation stopped instantly. Elle clenched her jaw but bowed.“My King.”His eyes settled on her. “You fired an arrow during an official trial.”Her expression stiffened.“I merely wanted to make it more fun”“You endangered the King’s entertainment.”She immediately lowered her head. “My apologies.”The King waved a careless hand. “The first trial is over.”“Continue.”Clearly, he cared far more about the competition than about fairness.Typical.The judges quickly gathere
Mila’s POVThe world turned upside down.One second I was racing toward the finish line.The next I was falling to my death.The Infernal Beast let out a deafening roar of pain as the arrow buried itself deep into her shoulder, her massive body lurched violently beneath me.“No!”My fingers slipped from her scales. I reached desperately for one of her huge horns and missed.I can’t believe this was how I was going to die.Time seemed to slow down as the crowd disappeared around me, even the cheers vanished.There was only the terrifying feeling of weightlessness as I tumbled through the air.This is it.I’m going to hit the ground.The black stone arena rushed toward me.I squeezed my eyes shut.“Brace yourself!” Rina shouted inside my mind.I couldn’t, I was so scared and I had no time.Then instead of crashing into solid stone i felt sonething enormous wrapped around me.It was warm and silky and very gentle.I blinked as darkness surrounded me.“What?”A low rumble vibrated bene
Mila’s POV“My Lady.”The arena official motioned me forward.“It’s your turn.”Every eye in the arena followed me as I walked toward the second Infernal Beast.The cheers from Elle’s successful ride still echoed around the stadium. She had already crossed the finish line to thunderous applause and now stood near the judges’ platform with a smug smile on her face.She folded her arms as I approached. “Try not to die.”I smiled sweetly. “I’ll do my best to disappoint you.”A few demons laughed and Elle rolled her eyes.The laughter vanished the moment I stood before the beast.It was enormous.Its black scales shimmered like polished obsidian.Two massive horns curled backward from its skull.Golden eyes stared directly into mine.It snorted and hot smoke blasted across my face.Wow I could really get scorched.“Hello.” I said sweetly The beast growled. The sound vibrated through my chest.The handler standing nearby frowned. “Strange indeed”“What?”“It doesn’t like you.”“I noticed.
Mila’s POVThe roar of thousands of voices echoed through the demon palace.I stood at the entrance of the arena, my fingers tightening around the strap of my sword. Beyond the enormous iron gates, I could hear drums pounding in a steady rhythm that shook the ground beneath my feet.Boom.Boom.Boom.Each beat made my heart race a little faster.A demon servant bowed before me. “My Lady.”“They’re ready.”I swallowed. “So am I.”That was a lie.The servant pushed the gates open. Sunlight didn’t exist in the underworld, yet the red glow from the blood-red sky illuminated everything before me.The arena was enormous. Black stone seats rose in perfect circles around a wide field of dark sand.Thousands of demons filled every seat.Some cheered while others booed but many of them simply stared. The noise was deafening.I had never seen so many demons gathered in one place.In the center of the highest platform sat the Demon King himself.nHis throne overlooked the entire arena.His red eye
Mila’s POVThe only thing I saw was a shadow, It stood near the window, perfectly still, its outline swallowed by the darkness of my room.I didn’t hesitate. Months of training took over before fear could hold me down.I rolled off the bed just as something flashed through the air.It was a knife.It buried itself deep into the wooden headboard where my head had been seconds earlier.My pulse thundered.Someone was trying to kill me. I grabbed the dagger hidden beneath my pillow and sprang to my feet.The figure rushed me and I clashed my dagger with his and it reverberated with a sharp clang that echoed through the room.The force of the impact sent vibrations up my arm.The attacker was strong and they wore black from head to toe, their face hidden beneath a hoodie.Not a single feature was visible only glowing golden eyes. The stranger swung again, I barely ducked.The blade sliced through the air above my head before crashing into a nearby table, wood splintered everywhere.I ki
Knox's POV….“This is ridiculous.”Conrad’s voice echoed across the training yard, sharp and irritated.I barely heard him.My mind was still stuck on the conversation from moments ago, replaying every word I had said about Mila.And the worst part?A small, ugly voice inside my head told me I had
Mila's pov…Kreda was draining and annoying, I almost punched her in the face.I reached the palace gates and pushed it open everywhere was dark already except for the torches of fires lining the place. Guards stood at their usual posts, but none of them stopped me as I walked inside.Some nodded
Knox Mercer……. I didn’t want a Luna. That was the truth no one seemed willing to accept. The council chamber was quiet, and I sat in my chair while Conrad and Caleb watched me. Generations of Alphas were carved into the walls, staring down at me like judges waiting for me to fail or slip up.
7years later…..Mila's pov…The car was silent, as I sat at the back of Gamma Rodney's car, the car hummed along the highway, and every flickering streetlight that passed outside made my heart beat faster. My stomach twisted, and my hands were fisted so tightly that my nails dug into my palm, almo
