Chain My Heart Too, Gamma 068
KaelThe cold air outside the council hall hits my face the moment I step out, and it feels almost grounding after everything that just happened inside. My head still pulses from the noise, all the shouting and the way the elders kept standing and sitting like they couldn’t decide whose side they were pretending to be on. I just want a second to breathe, so I head straight for my car. My hand is already curling around the door handle when I hear my name behind me.“Kael.”The sound of her voice—shaky, runs right down my spine. It stops me in a way nothing else can. My fingers freeze on the handle. I swallow, because I already know if I turn around and she’s crying or looking at me broken in a way I've never seen before, I might forget why I walked out of that hall in the first place.I turn slowly, and there she is, walking toward me. Her steps are careful, like she isn’t sure she’s allowed to even move freely. That ridiculous gown they put her in makes her look like something Josen p

LalaCold air hits the back of my legs the second the blanket is yanked off me, and I jerk upright with a confused gasp because my body wasn’t ready to leave sleep so violently. The mattress dips under me as I pull my knees close, trying to blink the stubborn heaviness out of my eyes while the maid stands there like she’s been waiting her whole life to do that. She doesn’t hide the irritation on her face either, her lips pressed so tight together they look like they’re trying to disappear.“So dramatic,” I mumble, rubbing my arm where she touched earlier, even though it doesn’t hurt, I just need something to complain about. My voice is thick with sleep. “You could have, you know, tapped me gently.”She ignores me completely, which she’s very good at, and drops a folded gown onto my lap. The gown is too smooth and too soft to be something I should be wearing in captivity, but Josen likes showing off, so of course he wants me looking like a well-decorated hostage.“Wear that,” she mutte

KaelThat night, I was so drunk I managed to get myself to my room, because even listening to them didn't help. I can’t even tell if the room is spinning or if it’s actually just my head doing its own useless dance. I sit on the floor because the bed looks too far away and standing feels like too much work. My elbows dig into my knees and the smell of spilled alcohol sticks to my skin like something that refuses to wash off. My eyes burn, my mouth tastes like fire and metal, and everything around me looks a little too foggy, like someone smeared my vision with dirty fingers.Melinda shows up again. I don’t even hear the door open, I just feel her presence, the soft creak of the floorboard when she steps closer, and then the cool touch of a glass pressing against my arm. She crouches slowly, her hair falling over her shoulder as she tries to get me to focus.“Kael, drink some water,” she says, her voice softer than usual, almost gentle in a way that makes me suspicious because nothing

KaelI slam my door open, and the moment it closes behind me something just snaps. It’s not even a clean snap, more like this ugly twist inside my chest that makes my breath come out harsh. The image of Lala in Josen’s room, in his space, in his reach, and I can’t do a damn thing about it, it coils through my stomach so tightly I feel like I might throw up. The air in my room feels too tight, too warm, like the walls are shrinking in just to watch me fall apart, and I don’t even try to stop the anger spreading through me. I grab the nearest chair and shove it aside, and it hits the wall with a loud crack that does absolutely nothing to calm the fire crawling under my skin.I move to the cabinet, pull it open too fast, bottles clattering because my hands won’t stop shaking. I snatch one, twist it open, drink straight from it like water, even though the taste burns down my throat. I don’t care. I need the burn. I need something sharper than the thought of her choosing him. I take anoth

LalaThe guards walk me out of the pack hall, Kael's voice still ringing in my head, and the sound of their boots hitting the stone floor stays loud enough that it feels like someone is pressing it right up against my ears. I keep my eyes forward because it’s easier than looking back at the place I’ve been stuck in for days.The shift from the cold, damp walls to the warm corridor almost stings my skin, and for a moment I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel about being taken somewhere else. I’m not being freed. I know that. This is just another type of cage, and the guards’ hands on my arms remind me of it every second as they lead me up the stairs and through the hallway that smells too clean to be true.When they finally open the door to the room, I have to blink a few times. Everything in here looks like it belongs to someone who has choices. The bed is too soft-looking, the sheets too bright compared to the dark stone I’ve been staring at down below. There’s a table by the window

KaelThe pack hall feels tighter than usual, like the walls are somehow listening more closely today, and I keep shifting in my seat because everything about this meeting irritates me. The elders are bickering over security patrols and border rotations, and normally I would be right there, arguing about tactical weaknesses and which areas need extra reinforcement, but today my head just refuses to stay in one place. Every time someone raises a point, my mind drifts back to the dungeon, to the thought of her sitting there alone. I try to look like I’m paying attention, nodding at the right moments, but my jaw keeps clenching on its own. I’m too aware of Josen sitting a few seats away, too aware of the smug stillness in his expression, like he already knows something the rest of us don’t.I force myself to listen as Elder Hurin goes on and on about how the patrols caught another rogue trying to sneak through the northern ridge. People murmur, others give their opinions, and I try to fo
