Chapter: Seventy-EightROMAN. I don’t know what kind of magic happens, but every time we do conduct the Ritual, the sun sets fast and darkness comes quickly. It’s true for tonight, as me and the men camp out in the darkness. Some of them have lit fires, while some of us—like the camp I have with August and Janus—don’t even bother. They have released twelve golden does, and we’re still supposed to capture them alive. I know that seeing the fire would drive them away. But I do notice August looking at the roaring bonfires with a hint of jealousy. “You know, it would be nice to have those. It is getting cold.” “If you call this cold, you’re going to die in the north,” Janus jokes with him, earning a smack on the arm. “Seriously, though. We don’t need fire. If I’m being honest I want to just start the hunt so we don’t need to worry about it in the morning. They’re all chilling in here, so we might as well get a headstart.” Unfortunately, he’s right about that. I know this Ritual is supposed to be for me

Chapter: Seventy-SevenMONICA.“Tonight?” I splutter, stepping back from Roman in shock. “What? Why did no one tell me? Yara said it wasn’t going to be for a few days at least!”“Did she?” Roman frowns. “Because I know for sure that our hunting thing is going to be tonight. Either way, I think you need to prepare.”I shake my head. “Are you just saying this to get rid of me?”“No!” He laughs a little, squeezing my face and kissing my nose. It’s sweet how he can go from completely dominating in sex to being such a cuddly, affectionate man. It makes my heart flutter, but right now I’m just nervous. “I’m not trying to get rid of you. But well, you do need to go now. They might call all of you to gather at the courtyard.”“I have nothing to prepare for!” I complain, wrapping my arms around him. “Why do we need to do this?”“It’s tradition.” He starts to look a little more stern. “Also, yes, you do have to prepare for it. The ladies get… competitive when it comes to these things, or so I heard. I’ve never seen i

Chapter: Seventy-SixMONICA.Roman's walls are slowly starting to crumble. He turns his gaze towards mine, his jaw set as he fights himself and his own enjoyment."Monica," he says, in a low voice laced with warning and restraint. "You're making this very hard.”I can't help but giggle. "I can see that. I can feel that. I'm holding the evidence right now and I want it inside me.”His hands clench, and seeing the veins standing out from his skin brings a rush of heat between my legs. His cock swells even bigger, and I lick my lips. God, he's so fucking big, and feeling his warm length just makes me think about all the times he slipped it inside me.I just can't get enough.I'm not the kind of woman who initiates like this, especially not with him. I've grown to love how he takes control, how he pushes me to my limits and takes me places no other lover has taken me.This time, however, it's just fun to be the one torturing him for a change. It's thrilling to know that I have him pay for agreeing to be separ

Chapter: Seventy-FiveMONICA.Ever since Roman and I went home from that little trip in the cave, something changed.And for the first time ever, it was a good change.It felt like the world looked down at me and decided to bless me for once. I was lighter, happier, knowing that all the bad things were behind me and the man behind all of that suffering was finally gone.We watched it burn down, the corpse. And when we were done, Roman just took the amulet and kept it, saying, "So that no one could find it and hold it against you."And that was amazing.My connection to the Disciple was finally severed, and I really am free. For the first time in my life.Days passed after that. The days rolled into a week.The new Elder Chief, Yara, announced that the main focus now would be the wedding, as it was already delayed for nearly a month. It was good to focus on something beautiful, something that I was actually looking forward to.I have asked Roman to look into where Jackie was too. Afraid to go back to the Hu

Chapter: Seventy-FourROMAN.“Let’s hope he’s not,” I mumble.Monica looks at me, frowning. But a small smile is spreading on her face. “Only you can make a joke out of this situation.”“I’m not joking.” I cup her face and kiss her. “I really hope there’s no more danger waiting for us. But even if there is… I’m ready to fight.”She nods, resting her head against my chest for a couple moments before glancing at the hole again. “This is it. Maybe it’s going to end here. He’s there, I can sense it.”With that confirmation, I anchor my rope around a tree and drop it into the opening. I hold out my hand and pull Monica close to me.“Let’s do this together.”I wrap my arm around Monica, and she puts her weight on me as I pull us down, scaling my feet against the cave wall. The place is dark, with a strong musty smell that seems to burn through my nose.There’s a different scent in here: the stench of rot.We land, and I can’t help but note the disgust on Monica’s face. She touches the wall and find a rusted chai

Chapter: Seventy-ThreeMONICA.Tears flow down my cheeks, and I hastily wipe them."No, that can't be real," I whisper to myself, hoping that if I repeat it enough, it's going to come true.My denial is still strong. It's not that I don't want to be alive, it's just that I completely hate the thought that the poison is living inside me. A monster waiting to rear its ugly head.I would rather know that I wasn't poisoned instead.I jump to my feet, reaching across the table to find a knife that hasn't been touched by the poisoned food or the spills. I test the end of it against the edge of my finger, and when I'm finally sure that it's sharp, I start to slice the skin along my hand, where the needle poked through.With bated breath, I wait for the poison to trickle out. I wait for my body to expel it. Maybe if I'm really immune, I can get rid of it this way and never worry about it ever again.But the only thing that comes out of me is my own blood, bright red and thick, free of any traces of the poison."No,
