Chapter: Chapter 056RHYDAR "Hold on, she'll be here soon," Nova tells me, tucking the blanket tighter around my shoulders. My body is trembling hard, and every inch of my skin is on fire. It feels like I'm dying. Still, judging from the number of times I've felt like this, it's a surprise that I've survived this long.Nova is fussing over me so cutely, I want to pinch her cheeks. I barely even remember coming home. All I remember is her calling Dora.Everything else is a blur."This really isn't fair," Nova croaks, running her fingers through my hair."Don't feel bad for me, sweetheart. I probably deserve this." My voice is so weak I barely recognize it.Blaze keeps pacing inside of me, restless. He seems to be sensing a threat of some kind."How can you say that?" Nova croaks but before I can respond, there's a frantic knock on the door.Nova startles, her hand slipping from my hair as she hurries towards the door.Relief surges inside of me, but Blaze only grows wilder, thrashing like he's tryi

Chapter: Chapter 055NOVA My breath catches in my throat, a whimper nearly escaping my lips. Suddenly, I'm overcome by a crippling fear. Not because I'm terrified of Rhydar. But because I'm afraid of losing him.Slowly, he brings a hand to his collarbone. He must've read my thoughts.He stares at me for a moment. Then he gathers me in his arms, holding me to himself."It's okay, don't be scared," he whispers, and I swallow hard, squeezing my eyes shut.How can I not be scared?Uriel's sigil was initially two before it became three. What if the same thing happens to him?No.I can't jinx it.Rhydar will be safe. I desperately hope so.A little while later, Rhydar sits on the edge of the bed, shirtless, his shoulders hunched forward.My stomach knots at the sight of the angry welts on his back, each one still a little raw and red from the silver whip.The sight makes my chest ache, but I force my hands steady as I dab gently with a damp cloth."How was the food?" I ask softly, needing the distraction

But you're frustrating me. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm really not hiding—""If you aren't, you won't threaten or gaslight me! That's exactly what you're doing now," I cry out, tears blurring my vision.He shakes his head, sliding down the door to sit on the floor with a devastated look on his face."That's not true. No, I didn't—"A tear slides down my cheek, and his face instantly contorts with pain. "Nova, please. Don't cry," his voice trembles.I clench my fists, anger burning in my chest. What the heck is wrong with him?I can't believe I was willing to let him in. I can't believe I was so stupid.Rhydar must've heard my thoughts, blood instantly drains from his face. He rises to his feet shakily, moving towards me in a way that implies that he's about to keel over.Before I can process what is ha

He's sitting beside me in the car, his head resting on my shoulder.It's been ten minutes since we left the academy grounds, but he still hasn't mentioned anything about the phone call.I'd heard Zeke's voice crystal clear, loud enough that my heart had plummeted into my guts from the dread flooding my veins.Is Rhydar trying to sweep it under the rug? Does he think doing that would make it disappear? Or perhaps, this is just another manipulation of his.'Breathe, little mouse. Your messy thoughts are making my head pound.'His voice slides through my mind, faint and strained, and I grimace.I keep forgetting he can hear me."I can't help it," I mumble, and he groans softly."I'm not ignoring the obvious, I promise. Can we talk about it when we get to our destination?" His voice is thick when he speaks."Are you still feeling unwell?" I whisper. He grunts."I'm trying n

Every beat of my heart drags it deeper into my veins.I should move, but Nova's hand is on my back.She lifts the back of my shirt, and the air hits my flesh. She lets out a terrified gasp."Shit..." Her voice cracks. "Those bastards."I almost laugh, but it would hurt too much. She's trembling. Nova doesn't break easy, so I know exactly what she's seeing back there. The welts, the blood still sluggishly seeping, the way the silver burns black around the edges.The mattress dips slightly as she kneels closer. Then comes the sting of disinfectant. It's hell. White-hot hell. My jaw clenches so hard I swear I'll crack a tooth. But I don't move. I don't open my eyes. If she thinks I'm asleep, I get to hear the way she cares without her walls up.The cotton gently dabs against a welt. I barely stop the hiss that threatens to slip between my te

His voice trails off, and a sick feeling washes over me."I honestly have no idea what you two are talking about right now," Theo says, and I wince. I'm not sure if I should trust him and spill. Even so, what if I'll be putting him in danger by telling him about the situation?Theo releases a sigh. "Am I that unworthy?"I shake my head quickly. "That's not it, I promise. I just...I don't want to put you in harm's way."His eyes go wide slightly. Then he lowers his gaze, fiddling with the hem of his hoodie."If that's the case. Fine, I'll accept your protection," he mutters, the corner of his lips curling slightly. Strange. He almost seems too pleased.I revert my gaze back to Uriel, grimacing when I see that he seems to be worsening."We have to do something, or it's going to kill you.

Chapter: Epilogue RAELYNN It was snowing tonight, although not as much as it did during Christmas Eve which was a couple of days ago. Glancing at the light blue sky, I bit my lower lip. A smile tugged at my lips at the sound of the giggles of my youngest child, a new addition to my family. I could hear Rai's deep voice all the way from the sitting room. Together with the sound of the twins' laughter, these sounds had become my favourite. When the sounds ceased, I listened closely for the sound of approaching footsteps. The door opened and I turned around to find Rai standing there with little Aiden in his arms. His amber eyes warmed when they met mine. "Hey," I said and he made his way towards me, pulling me into a hug. I brought my hand to the nape of his neck, letting my fingers drift through the strands of his hair. Rai had ditched his long hair for a shorter hair and a clean undercut. "What's on your mind?" He asked and I beamed at him, running my fingers over his handsome face. "I'm j

Chapter: Ninety Two RAI Her wedding dress was perfect. Watching her walk towards me with her father made my heart flutter wildly against my rib cage. This wasn't our first wedding. Even so, this day felt like something out of a daydream. When she got to me, she held out a gloved hand to me, which I accepted right away. Steering her towards me, I took a deep breath. "Rai," I heard her whisper. The mere sound of her calling my name sent a wave of heat coursing through my veins. Her gaze met mine and I smiled, a wave of relief washing over me. I'd spent years yearning for her. Still, I'd lied to myself. I'd refused to accept how much I wanted her. I'd been foolish. It didn't help that I'd been struck by an overwhelming guilt when I'd learnt of her 'death'.Fate had given me a new chance to love her properly. "Rai Vidal, do you take Raelynn Norman as your wife and partner, to love and to hold for the rest of your life?" I heard the priest say. "I do," I said, linking my fingers with Raelynn's. She h

I eyed her with annoyance. Was everything she'd just displayed merely an act? If it was, it made a lot of sense. She was a part of the witch council. There was no way she was truly afraid of me. Was there something I was missing? As I thought about this, she straightened and cracked a manic smile at me, her eyes glowing with what appeared to be a murderous intent. "You're going to pay for everything you've done," she drawled and I clenched my fists. I didn't understand what she meant. As far as I could tell, I had never encountered her before. Therefore, there was no way I could've offended her unless..."You're the one who invited me here, aren't you? You planned this from the start," I said and she chuckled dryly. "I guess you aren't dumb," she commented, folding her arms across her chest.I obse

It's been nearly ten minutes, you know?" Rai said, his gaze unwavering.Austin cleared his throat, leaning back on his seat."My bad," he mumbled and I raised a brow at him. "Alright, try not to freak out--" he started to say, and Rai's expression darkened."Are you kidding me, Austin? Spit it out already," Rai hissed, his impatience written all over his face. "The witch council wishes to have a meeting with Raelynn," Austin stated and my frown deepened."And how's that supposed to be bad news?" I asked and he winced."They must have gotten wind of your involvement with the red tulip cult. They also learnt of the fact that you got rid of the plague," he added. Rai heaved a sigh, running his fingers through his hair."That's not good," he mumbled."I still don't understand. Am I too dull for this?" I said and Rai reached acr

Chapter: Eighty NineRAELYNN Rose must've thought that she was doing a good job at blurring the line between the truth and the lie. Nonetheless, I'd figured it out. The spell was linked to the fact that I was mated to Rai. "Raelynn..." Rai rasped, his breathing strained. My heart ached for him. It was obvious at this point. Our destinies were ill-fated. We were bound to hurt each other as long as we were bound by our bonds. I'd forgiven him for hurting me and I didn't want him to suffer because of me anymore. With this thought, I came to a conclusion that the only way to save him was to lose him. "It's alright. I'll set you free," I whispered and he smiled weakly. The lights in his eyes grew dim as he gasped for air. I swallowed hard, fresh tears filling my eyes."I, Raelynn Norman, reject you, Rai Vidal..."His eyes bulged in their sockets, terror written all over his face."No...." His voice was laced with desperation when he spoke again.I knew he would refuse to reject me. Even s

Chapter: Eighty EightRAI At first, I felt as though I was trapped in an empty space. I couldn't feel my body and I didn't know where I was. By the time I snapped back to reality, I felt as though I was watching myself from afar. And, when I saw the mortifying scene unfolding before my eyes, I went ballistic. "So this is it. This is what it feels like to be in Alpha Rai's body," I heard myself say. It took me a moment to realize what was really good on. Kyan was inside my body. But how?How did things escalate to this aggravating point?It didn't help that I couldn't recall much. When Kyan attempted to kiss my woman, a dam of fury was unlocked inside of me. Therefore, my will to recover my body waxed stronger. Raelynn attempted to push my body away from her and when it didn't work, she jammed her elbow into my guts and I doubled over. I was relieved to know that she'd managed to free herself from Kyan. "Why are you running? Play with me a little longer, will you?" Kyan screamed as he chased afte

His Bride By Force
"You should be scared," I whispered, brushing my fingertips along her spine, slow and teasing, then down over the swell of her ass. My palm lingered, gripping one cheek possessively. "Because you've just given yourself to the devil."
I leaned down, my lips brushing her ear.
“And the devil? He doesn’t believe in mercy."
....
I should have known better than to sign his contract.
My new husband was never meant to be real. He was supposed to be a name on paper, a shield against the vultures circling my late husband's empire. An arrangement with an expiration date.
But Killian Cross doesn't let go.
He's ruthless, obsessive, and dangerously possessive. The kind of man who doesn't just own his empire. He owns everything in his grasp. And now, that includes me.
I thought I could play his game and walk away unscathed.
I was wrong.
Because my contract husband has made one thing clear. I belong to him now.
But what happens when the shadows surrounding him become my prison? What if love isn’t enough for the hell awaiting us? Will I be able to save him when he needs me? Or will we both drown in the raging tempest?

The priest shifted nervously.Finally, one of his father's men approached with a grim look on his face. In his hand was a sealed envelope.Giovanni snatched it, tearing it open with trembling fingers.

His voice was soft but terrifying."Remind me. What happens to a man who steals another Don's mistress and then has the audacity to get her pregnant?"The girl whimpered. Gio, the cocky little idiot, only smirked wider."Relax, Dad. She's not a mistress anymore. She's mine."Killian blinked. His jaw flexed.

Mum's voice was soft but steady as she stepped into the sitting room, holding a tray with two steaming mugs. Her eyes widened the moment she saw Annabell with her gun still raised, tension crackling in the air. "Whoa! What's going on here?" I exhaled slowly, the weight of the moment still heavy on my chest. "Mom, this is Annabell." Mum's gaze softened as she looked between us. "Annabell. It's... good to finally meet you." Annabell lowered the gun fully but kept her guard up. "You have no idea what you're getting into." Mum gave her a small, knowing smile. "Maybe not. But Zion's no stranger to complicated." She set the tray down and poured the drinks.

I stood near the window, both hands wrapped around a steaming mug of chocolate. Clarissa made it earlier. She said it was tradition. It tasted so good. The warmth from the cup soaked into my palms, and I stared down at it as if it held answers. Stefan was gone. The Hollow King was defeated. Zion... my son—gods, my son—was finally safe. We were free in every way we never thought we could be. And still, I didn't know what to do with the quiet. I didn’t know how to let go of the war in my chest.
