Onyx Eclipse (The Raven Queen's Harem Book 5)(39)
The soldiers move quickly, surrounding and unarming me. “What if I’m not?” I ask.
The Morrigan shrugs and waves Anita to join her. “It doesn’t really matter one way or the other. You’re here. You’re unprotected. Your world is crumbling as we speak.” She steps toward me, so close I can see the faintest cracks beneath the surface. A piece of gray hair. The thinnest of wrinkles. She smiles, linking one arm with Anita and one with my own. I fight the urge to recoil at her touch. “This way will be a lot more fun.”
Chapter 35
Morgan
The room is similar to my other one, but up in the highest floors of the castle along the same corridor as the queen. Just before I enter the room, Anita slips into her own chambers, adjacent to mine. I pause, noting that a soldier remains outside her door. I have no doubt mine will be guarded as well.
This one, unlike the other, has an arched window. I walk over and take a look out. The barren landscape of the Otherside sprawls for miles. Nothing but death and decay exists where the eye can see. I lean out, smelling the sulfur and rot, and know this is what the Morrigan wants to do with my world. Trash it with hatred and bitterness. Little does she know that miles underground, life and love and happiness flourishes.
She’s not as powerful as she thinks she is.
I flick my wrist, extending my nails. But that’s not all. The black mists that the Morrigan controls slither from my hands and around my ankles. With the strength of my men rolling through my veins and the conviction of an entire realm at my back, all I have to do is hold her off, keep her appeased until my Raven Guard can return with an army.
Then, we will be prepared to take this world back and stop her reign of terror, once and for all.

Dear Lovely Readers!
Thank you for coming on this journey with me! It’s been a fast ride and I can’t believe we’re nearing the end (TBH, if you know me, there’s no such thing a real end. Just a new ride to enjoy!) I know our heroine and her heroes are still in dire straights! I’m hopeful they can solve their problems, save the world and keep their love together as their trials continue.
It’s late where I am and I’m desperately trying to get this book submitted so let me do a quick thank you! To AngstyG for the fantastic cover. To VCedits for her tireless work fixing my millions of errors. To Jennifer and her beta help—keeping me straight and in line! To the Chat Group With Pep! For indulging my ranmblings about Riverdale, book teasers and harrassments about ARCs. And to all the fantastic friends in The Raven Queen’s Harem Facebook group (click that link to find us!) you make my social media days a little bit brighter! Thank you for all your support!
