A smug smile appeared on her step sister's lips when she finally revealed she was actually pregnant with her mate's child. Her father's futile attempt to apologize, for ignoring her all this time, because he had his own reasons and asked her to understand. A plea of forgiveness from her mate as he begged her not to reject him, claiming it was just a stupid mistake that he shouldn't have made. And to top it off, a cursed alpha from the north, to whom her step sister was actually promised, is here to collect his debt, so she has to take her place as the sacrifice now. Darn!
"Do you think it is alright to let Zaya absorb the dark magic? Do you think it will work?" Pyro asked, he didn't really understand what Lyra and Dawn were doing, he was there to guard this place from the monster, but he felt agitated because he couldn't do anything, but standing there, watching them doing something he didn't have any knowledge of.
He could be out there and help, he could advise Zaya of what to do and how to absorb black magic, even though he was not sure how it worked, since nobody had ever been able to do so, aside from the previous queen.
However, Pyro knew how dangerous it was and Dawn said it herself that she saw Zaya was dying and that was the last thing the royal beta wanted to happen.
"I don't know, Pyro, but that's something Zaya has to do." Dawn kept her focus on the material in front of her. "Can you call for all the knights and the shifters to gather here?"
"What do you want with them?"
