Chapter 83

I had no clue who or what I was looking at. A small, delicate person? Or something more like a fairy? The figure was small, no taller than a child, but it radiated an otherworldly power that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Delicate, translucent wings fluttered behind her, her skin as white as ivory. She wore a white, shimmering gown that flowed around. her. Her face was impossibly beautiful, with high cheekbones and almond–shaped eyes that seemed to glow with an inner fire. But it was her expression that truly captivated me.

I had no clue who or what I was looking at. A small, delicate person? Or something more like a fairy? The figure was small, no taller than a child, but it radiated an otherworldly power that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

birthright, but I haven’t decided which gift it is. Instead, I will give you the empty blessing and it will develop on its own, since you are a blessed lycan queen.”

“Time out. A celestial fairy is giving a lycan a blessing? Isn’t this supposed to come from the moon goddess?”

“This is from the moon goddess. Like Gujin, I am a messenger of the gods. I am to help you with your trials ahead by giving you an appropriate gift.”

Trials ahead? I did not like the sounds of that. “What kind of

trials?”

“Challenging ones. The kind that can break you, if you allow them. Things are about to get very rough for you and how you handle it will define your future. Being blessed doesn’t mean your are shielded from the pain or from the challenge. It just means you have everything you need inside of you to make it through.”

“Listen here, Tinkerbell,” I snarled, taking a step closer. “I am not interested in playing a game of trials for the gods.”

“The moon goddess doesn’t ‘play‘ at anything. She sees in you a strength that even you have yet to fully comprehend.”

I scoffed, crossing my arms. “Right, and I’m supposed to just take your word for it?”

“No,” Fury replied, her voice taking on a gravity that belied her diminutive size. “You’re meant to prove it.”

Trials that could break me… my mind immediately went to Darren. “These trials, will they involve Darren? Because I swear, if anything happens to him-”

“You’ll what? Fight the gods?”

“If need be, I wouldn’t hesitate.”

Fury’s expression remained impassive, but I swore I saw a flicker of amusement in her eyes. “Such fire,” she murmured. “Perhaps you are worthy after all.”

Her words only fueled my irritation. Worthy? Of what? I opened my mouth to demand answers, but Fury continued, her tone maddeningly neutral.

“Your concern for your mate is admirable.”

“You didn’t answer my question. Will Darren be in danger?” I was angry and my tone reflected my irritation.

The fairy’s expression turned serious. “The trials are unavoidable, Allissa. They are woven into the fabric of your destiny. Both you and Darren will be tested, but in different ways. I can see that you are trying to formulate a plan… but I assure you, no matter what you do, it’s too late. You can’t avoid what’s going to happen. Even if you summoned Darren or if you went to his side … what will happen cannot be changed.”

My heart clenched. “I won’t let anything happen to him. I can’t.” The words came out as a fierce whisper.

“Your strength will be put to the test, Allissa,” Fury continued as if it was a rehearsed speech. “Physical and mental tests that have to come, for your future.”

I lifted my chin, meeting Fury’s ethereal gaze with unwavering determination. Fine, I might have been chosen, but I wasn’t some pawn for the gods to move around as they pleased. My destiny was my own to shape.

“I’ve faced betrayal, loss, and more challenges than I can count. Each time I’ve come out stronger. Whatever trials lie ahead, I’ll face them on my terms.”

A flicker of something–approval? Amusement?-crossed Fury’s delicate features. “Your spirit is admirable, Allissa. It’s precisely why you were chosen.”

I scoffed, pacing across the stone floor of the castle chamber. “Chosen or not, I’m no one’s puppet.”

Fury’s lips curved into a smile. “Your defiance, your determination… these are the qualities of a great ruler. And it’s not just you they’re interested in.” Fury’s gaze dropped to my abdomen, where my unborn pup grew. “The child you carry… it has a significant role to play in the future of your kind.”

My hand instinctively moved to my stomach, a protective gesture. “My baby? What does my child have to do with any of this?”

Fury’s eyes gleamed and I wanted to deck her. “More than you can imagine, Allissa. Your pup’s destiny is the one the gods are
