Aether's Obsession Chapter 76
Vaelor’s POVI carried Zafer straight to my private chambers, not stopping for anyone. The moment the heavy crystal doors sealed behind us, the noise of the celebration vanished. Only silence remained, broken by the soft sound of his breathing against my chest.He had fallen asleep somewhere during the walk, exhausted from the emotional storm. I laid him gently on my massive bed, the dark silken sheets contrasting beautifully with his silvery ceremonial attire.I stood there for a long moment, just staring.I was enraged and wanted nothing more than to tear the scum in the hallway into pieces, but something about seeing Zafer in that terrified state took me out of my blood rage.He looked ethereal. The white-silver turtleneck clung to his long, slender torso, the diamond laces sparkling faintly in the low blue light of the room. The sheer panels on his thighs revealed smooth skin, and his voluminous silver hair fanned out across the pillow like liquid moonlight. Even now, bigger in
Aether's Obsession Chapter 75
Zafer's POVI walked back into the grand hall with my chin up and the warmth in my chest pulling me forward like a current I had finally stopped swimming against.I had taken perhaps twenty steps when a hand closed around my wrist.He had followed me. Of course, he had followed me. I heard his footsteps a second before I felt the contact, fast and deliberate, the stride of someone who had made a decision in that corridor and hadn't finished with it yet."Zafer." His voice was low. The plea from moments ago had hardened back into something with edges."We are leaving."I stopped walking. Around us, the celebration continued its oblivious warmth — music, lantern light, the drift of aurora color through the high windows. Nobody had noticed us yet. We were at the edge of it all, in the narrow space between the hall's entrance and the main floor."Guat," I said quietly. "Let go of my wrist."His grip tightened instead.Something in me went very still and then very clear, the way the desert
Aether's Obsession Chapter 74
Zafer's POVThe music followed us into the corridor in diminishing waves, muffled by crystal walls and distance, until it was more of a memory than a sound.Guat's hand was around my wrist, not cruel, but absolute, the grip of someone who had made a decision and wasn't entertaining a review. His stride was long and purposeful, and I was mostly keeping up rather than being dragged, which I told myself was a meaningful distinction."Guat," I said, "the celebration is still—""I am aware of where the celebration is.""Then why are we walking away from it?"He didn't answer. His jaw was set in the way it got when he had already built the entire argument and was simply waiting for a quieter location to deliver it. I looked back over my shoulder. Through the grand hall's open doors, I could still see the Sovereign, standing exactly where Guat had left him motionless, enormous, watching us leave with eyes that could have cut crystal.The warmth in my chest pulled taut like a rope going in t
Aether's Obsession Chapter 73
Zafer's POVThe grand hall was too bright and too loud and too full of people looking at me.I had known, abstractly, that Mara's outfit would draw attention. I had not fully accounted for what this much attention would feel like in practice — the silvery material catching every light source it could find, the diamond laces flashing with each step, the sheer panels doing exactly what sheer panels are designed to do. I could feel eyes tracking me from the moment Draven and I stepped through the doors, and my tail had started its anxious flicking before I had even fully registered the room.I did not like being looked at by strangers.I especially did not like what I found when I located the Sovereign.He was standing at the far end of the hall near the grand windows, exactly where I had expected him to be — imposing and still, the aurora light moving behind him in slow color. The female Zephyrian beside him was speaking with the animated energy of someone making an important point.Vae
Aether's Obsession Chapter 72
Zafer's POVGuat entered my sleeping chamber the way he always did — without knocking, with the energy of someone who had decided long ago that doors were a suggestion extended to other people.He stopped dead in his tracks.I was standing in front of the tall crystal mirror, feeling simultaneously ridiculous and unable to look away from my own reflection. Mara stood beside me, or rather under me, with the satisfied expression of someone who has just finished a piece of work they are proud of and wants witnesses.The outfit she had chosen was — I was still processing it.The top was a fitted turtleneck in a silvery white material that caught the light differently every time I breathed, clinging to my long torso with an attention to detail I found slightly alarming. Down both sides, diamond-shaped laces ran from just below my arms to my hips, flashing open in small, geometric windows that showed the pearl-toned skin beneath every time I moved. The pants were looser at the waist, but fr

Aether's Obsession Chapter 29
Third-Person POVThe journey to the sanctuary swallowed three days. They wound through mist-drowned valleys and over ridges threaded with aurora light, riding the Thal'vyr into the kind of silence that only exists above the world. Vaelor guided the massive creature with unhurried certainty, his eig

Lirian's POV The Vyrkath cavern entrances were in the sub-levels, beneath the oldest wing, the part of the citadel that predated the throne itself, where the stonework was rough, and the Aether ran in open channels along the floor like shallow rivers of light. I'd mapped this section in my second

Vaelor’s POVI should have stayed away.I told myself the assignment was duty, nothing more. The Sovereign wanted the Terran xenobiologist protected in Hydralis waters; I was the only one with Vyrkath blood strong enough to navigate the depths and survive any current that turned murderous. Logi
