Cassian’s POV

I was beginning to hate the silence of Ashcroft Manor.

Not because I had never experienced it before, but because I knew exactly what it meant.

Damien had returned to being the man he was before Elara arrived in our lives. Cold, distant, and determined to shut everyone out. His study had practically become his bedroom, and getting more than three words out of him had become an impossible task.

It was almost amusing.

A few weeks ago, I had been the one sulking in corners, avoiding

  • Between Thirst and Love    Epilogue.

    Damien's POVI had never imagined I would stand beside my brother on his wedding day feeling as though a part of me were missing.Cassian stood before the mirror, adjusting his cuffs for what had to be the tenth time. His usual playful expression had been replaced by nervous anticipation, and I found myself almost smiling at the sight.Almost.'If you keep staring at yourself like that, Eveline might change her mind before she reaches the altar,' I remarked.He turned toward me, narrowing his eyes.'I'm beginning to regret asking you to be my best man.''And I'm beginning to understand why you needed one.'Cassian laughed, but the sound softened when he looked at me.'Thank you for coming.'I straightened his collar.'You're my brother. Where else would I be?'He studied me for a moment, as though he wanted to say something more, but eventually nodded.The ceremony was beautiful.Eveline looked radiant as she walked toward him, her expression bright with happiness. Cassian watched her

  • Between Thirst and Love    Chapter 88-- The Man Left Behind.

    Damien's POV.Steven had hauled a carriage saying he didn't have the energy to teleport them to the Ashcroft Manor.I couldn't remember the journey back to Ashcroft Manor.I remembered the carriage moving beneath me. I remembered Steven sitting opposite me, occasionally glancing in my direction as though he wanted to say something. I remembered the darkness outside the windows.But none of it felt real.Nothing did.Elara was gone.The thought repeated itself in my mind, yet I couldn't bring myself to understand it. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her lying in my arms, her beautiful face growing still as I begged her to stay.I had held her.I had begged her.And she had left me anyway.'We're here,' Steven said quietly.I stared through the window at Ashcroft Manor.Home.Once, this place had been filled with Elara's laughter. She had walked through its halls with her curious eyes and endless questions, making herself a part of every corner she touched.Now, I couldn't imagine ent

  • Between Thirst and Love    Chapter 87-- Don't Leave Me.

    Damien's POVFor a moment, I couldn't move.Elara lay on the floor before me, her brown hair spilling across the wooden boards, her eyes wide with shock. The dagger protruding from her back seemed impossibly small compared to the damage it had caused.No.No, no, no.This couldn't be happening.Not to her.Not after everything we'd survived to get here.'Elara?'Her name escaped my lips, barely more than a whisper.She didn't answer.Something inside me snapped.I dropped to my knees, ready to reach for her, when movement caught my attention from the corner of my eye.The hunter who had thrown the dagger was running toward the exit.He thought he could escape.He thought he could stab my wife and walk away.A low growl tore from my throat.I rose so quickly that the air shifted around me. Before he could reach the door, I caught him by the back of his neck and slammed him against the wall.He struggled, clawing at my arm.'Please—'I didn't want to hear it.I thought of Elara's fright

  • Between Thirst and Love    Chapter 86-- The Price of Coming Home.

    Damien's POVThe first thing I did after returning to the lake house was check the letters.It had become a habit over the past few weeks, especially with everything happening around us. News from Cassian was always welcome, even when it carried trouble. I needed to know whether the hunters had finally retreated from Ashcroft Manor and whether my brother was safe.I settled at the desk and reached for the stack of letters the servants had delivered before our departure.Most were unimportant. Requests for meetings, reports concerning the estate, and a few messages I had already read.Then I found Cassian's handwriting.I unfolded the letter and began reading.Damien,The hunters are gone, but I wouldn't call that good news.Ashcroft Manor is in shambles. There were too many casualties, and the damage is worse than we initially thought. I'm currently managing the affairs of the mansion and trying to ensure everything is taken care of.I hope you and Elara are safe wherever you are. I w

  • Between Thirst and Love    Chapter 85-- A Quiet Return.

    I lay with my head resting against Damien's chest, listening to the steady sound of his voice as he spoke about something I had already forgotten.Honestly, I was more interested in the warmth of his arms around me than whatever he was saying.His fingers moved lazily through my hair, occasionally brushing against my cheek. I had one arm wrapped around his waist, my leg tangled with his beneath the sheets, and for the first time in what felt like forever, my mind was quiet.No questions about my past. No fear of what awaited us. No worrying about the secrets that seemed determined to follow me everywhere.Just Damien.I tilted my head to look at him.'I've missed this'His fingers paused in my hair. 'Miss what?''This.' I gestured vaguely between us. 'Being with you. Holding you like this. Talking to you without wanting to strangle you every five minutes.'He let out a quiet laugh.'I'm sure you've wanted to strangle me more than five minutes at a time.''Don't tempt me.'His familiar

  • Between Thirst and Love    Chapter 84-- Kisses till Midnight.

    Elara's pov.The carriage slowed to a stop just as the last traces of daylight disappeared behind the mountains.I lifted my head from the window, glancing at Damien, who was pulling the curtain aside.'We won't be going any farther tonight,' he said.'Why?''The road ahead is dangerous after dark. We'll find an inn and continue our journey in the morning.'I nodded, too exhausted to argue.After everything that had happened, a few hours of rest sounded like a blessing.Damien stepped out first and offered me his hand. I hesitated before accepting it, ignoring the flicker of disappointment that crossed his face when I quickly released him.Inside the inn, we discovered that only one room remained available.And, naturally, it had only one bed.I stared at the innkeeper, wondering whether the universe had developed a personal grudge against me.'We can find another inn if you'd prefer,' Damien offered.I glanced outside at the darkening sky.'This will do.'He collected the key, and we
