CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: Coup De Tat in Valeria

  ~In Valeria~

  The moon shone brilliantly in the wee hours’ sky, a striking contrast of a white crescent against the dark blue hue. The milky orb cast its light down on the land below and to a particular castle that stood lofty.

  The sound of running feet slapping against the cobblestoned ground inside the gates of the palace could be heard from a distance.

  “You have to go!” Beta Arian ordered his wife and mate, Beta Luna Sian where they stood in their bedroom, arguing.

  She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, “I am not going anywhere without you or my pup. I want to stay here in Valeria and fight along with you.”

  Arian in frustration, swept a hand over his head and roughly grabbed his mate’s arm, “Woman, can’t you be sensible for a goddamned second! If we all stay here and that stupid omega gets here, then we would be doomed, all of us will die! You need to get to Ancientrova to get our king Conroy.”
