Filed To Story: Absent Luna of the Lycan King Novel (Ivy & Kyson)
Azalea POV
She was gone, and I watched in horror as Gannon stole her from me, clutching her to his ch*st, and I felt dead. Like I took my last breath when she did, all life left me. She died for me and I felt completely and utterly numb until I heard his voice slice through the air as it mocked me. His slow methodical clap made me see red as I lifted my head to see I was circled by the Landeena and Valkyrie Guard, shielding me instead of fighting.
My eyes scanned the destruction to find Kyson getting to his feet not far from me. The sight of my mate made my heart beat when Crux’s voice brought me back to my surroundings.
He took Abbie from me. He wouldn‘t take my mate too. “I have waited for this day since I learned of your birth,” Crux laughed. My blood boiled, sizzled and my skin warmed with tage.
“The almighty Landeenas finally fall. The Landeena Kingdom should have been mine. He promised it to
I took down my own mother‘s Kingdom for it!” he yelled as everyone halted under his voice. The
hunter‘s guns trained on us. They knew we were cornered and thought there was no way out for us.
That f**king name. That f**king name everyone was obsessed with. The Landeena name meant nothing to me anymore. I know the sins that name carried; the heartache bestowed upon the Kingdoms from it, and the reign of terror it has caused.
I could feel the blood of that name burn through me along with my mothers, feel it in my toes as they tingled along with my rage. Yet I wasn‘t just Landeena. My father‘s name brought shame to me. I no longer wanted it. Crux could have it. That name took more from me than anything else.
Yet as I watched Gannon clutch my sister‘s dead body in his arms as Liam tried to pry Abbie free of him, it angered me more. Gannon fights him, trying to draw her nearer, when Liam punches him and knocks him back, his hands replacing Gannon‘s as he brings his hand down on her ch*st, pumping her heart as if he could save her and bring her back to us. Turning my head and seeing my mate on his knees made pure rage slivers white–hot through me. The ground vibrated beneath me, and I could feel its energy, breathe life into me like it was part of me.
“Your Father Whitakered to me, then took Tatiana as his Queen. His enemy he took as his Queen and birthed her spawn. It was never yours, Azalea. Your father promised it to me. The Landeena name was to be mine!” Crux roared in anger.
“You can have the f**king name!” I screamed in anger as I rose to my feet. My guard tensed and took protective stances encircling me, but I wanted to see the face of the man who thought he would be our downfall, see the life drain from his eyes when I took it from him.
“Stand down!” I scream at my guard when I see them move to protect me. My command rings out loud, my people drop to their knees, and Crux laughs, clapping his hands slowly as he strolls closer. Kyson‘s fear bleeds into me, and I could feel his eyes on me, his heart beating in his ch*st in sync with mine as
I stared down Crux, who smiled sadistically.
“Landeena‘s used to be gods. The Landeena‘s were feared among the Lycania Kingdoms, and your father brought shame to the name, but not anymore. His reign ends here today with you, just like the
Azures. You‘re all that‘s left,” Crux called out to me.
He was right because I could feel their blood singing in my veins, feel the power that had awoken and now writhed through me, strong like a flexing muscle, he was right. I am Landeena and Azure by blood, but that is not all.
“You‘re wrong. The Landeena‘s and Azures may be dead,” I tell him.
“Almost,” Crux said, pointing to me. I laugh, the sound wicked as the ground beneath my feet begins to shake, my aura p**ssing out, and I feel its strength as it wr*ps around my people like a shield.
“But I am not a Landeena or Azure. I am Valkyrie! And you shall not take my Kingdom!”
Kyson POV
I couldn‘t move as the power of her command rolled over everyone forcing us to our knees as she stood off, glaring daggers at Crux. Her eyes, emblazoned with her anger, glowed like beacons in the night.
“But I am not a Landeena or Azure. I am Valkyrie! And you shall not take my Kingdom!”
Azalea roared when I felt her anger erupt like lava spewing from a mountainous volcano. The hunter‘s fear burned the air with a thick stench. I wanted to gag at the scent as their guns started going off as they unleashed, their bullets whizzing through the sky yet stopping on a shield she created around us, bouncing off its walls as she lifted her hands.
The ground split, creating a crater dividing us from them as vines shot from the ground, wr*pping around the hunters like tentacles and ripping them into the earth as the violence from her rage fueled her guards‘ angry roars. Fire lit up the sky as her anger scorched the air around us and burned everything it touched, turning the grass black as it seared the earth, yet locked under the safety of her aura‘s shield. It did not touch us.
Crux‘s eyes widen as the sky darkens, and he realizes he didn‘t beat her. He awoke her. A kingdom shall fall but in its place, the Emp**ss of Lycania rises.
Her power turned the place dark as night, the clouds rolled across the sky angrily; furious as the skies screamed down just as hell reigns down on earth when her powers awakened coming forth. Lightning streaked the sky and hit the ground, burning caverns into the earth as the volts plunged into our castle, obliterating everything in its path.
Rocks and mortar exploded from my castle as it crumbled and broke, sending the debris hurtling toward us. Yet they couldn‘t break past the barrier which she created. I gasped at the power, feeling it writhing through the bond and healing every inch of me.
As she raised her arms, her shield shuddered as the wind whipped and howled around us when her scream of anguish from everyone she had lost, the ghosts of everything that tainted and haunted her, exploded in a war cry of command.
I now understood what the history books spoke of: the Landeena and Azure power. They were indeed gods as I watched the air ripple with screams as her soul erupted from her like a shock wave, and it flattened everything in its path as it burst free of her.
The forest was flattened to the earth, our home, our Kingdom was reduced to r*bble as if a hurricane of her anger wiped everything out. Only leaving us as the bodies of our enemies as they exploded with her anger and blood rained from the skies, their blood staining us and bleeding back into the earth.
Just as fast as it erupted, it stopped, the silence so deafening I wasn‘t sure we survived it as her shield dropped, and I was able to move to her. Her sadness split her heart down the middle and tore her apart as I grabbed her. I clutch her tightly, hanging on to my lifeline, which is her.
