Chapter 99: Hozier - Take Me To Church
Kyllian growled low in his throat, and Damien instinctively rolled his eyes, already bracing himself for a standoff.
Morvakar ignored them both. His eyes landed on Luna, gleaming. He smiled. "Look at you, my perfect creation."
Luna arched a brow and took one dramatic step forward. "You call screwing up my life perfect?"
"Careful, Princess. Gratitude looks good on a queen," he said, teeth flashing. "I gave you a worthy mate."
Luna scoffed hard enough to nearly sprain her throat.
"Scoff louder. I didn’t hear you that time," Damien drawled from behind, arms folded.
"Trouble in paradise, I see," Morvakar grinned, dragging a chair to the center of the room and plopping into it.
Damien stepped forward, business returning to his tone. "We need you to break the bond between them." He gestured between Luna and Kyllian as though introducing an awkward couple on the brink of a very public divorce.
Morvakar raised a brow. "You marked her, didn’t you?" he asked Damien. "The bond should be broken."
"Well, it isn’t," Kyllian said, his body still humming with the stubborn pull of Luna’s magic in his veins.
Morvakar frowned slightly, intrigued, as if someone had rearranged the puzzle pieces on a game he thought he mastered. "Hmmm...I never did account for the mutt in this equation."
"That’s what happens when you mess with the law of nature, Morvakar," Damien said, unamused. "Don’t look so surprised." He sank into an empty chair nearby and added with a dismissive flick of his wrist, "Just work your magic and do your thing."
