Mae’s smile lit something in Riven, something deep and rare. And the fact that she didn’t flinch, didn’t pull away, that she smiled at him after their first kiss? That was everything. He didn’t wait this time. Riven leaned in again, this time slower, deeper, his hands gently cupping her face as he kissed her like he’d been holding that need back for years instead of days. The kind of kiss that wasn’t rushed, but meant. Mae didn’t hesitate.

Her breath hitched softly as she leaned into him, her hands rising to grip his arms, pulling him closer. She could feel the warmth of his skin through the sleeves of his shirt, the strength in the way he held her, but not tightly, not possessively. Safely. Intimately. Like she mattered. There was something different in this second kiss.

Something deeper than heat. Something ancient. Like a thread had been pulled taut between them, and was now twining. Mae felt it in her chest, a soft pulling sensation, not painful, but not mild, either. A connectio

  • Claimed by the Fallen Five   Threads of the Eternal

    The three of them stood in silence, the weight of Sethis’s question still lingering in the air. Mae’s heart thudded in her chest, uncertain whether it was from the sudden shift in the conversation or from Lucien’s nearness. Sethis’s gaze lingered on her for a moment longer, unreadable, then a sly smile tugged at his lips. He winked at her, a flicker of mischief in his eyes that did not quite hide the ache behind it, and with a casual turn he walked away, leaving them in the quiet that suddenly felt too heavy.Mae exhaled slowly, only then realizing how tightly she had been holding her breath. Her eyes darted towards Lucien, but he did not move at first. He simply watched her, his silence more potent than words. She felt his presence coil around her like smoke, dark and magnetic, impossible to escape.When he finally stepped closer, Mae’s body reacted before her mind did, heat rushing through her veins at the way his gaze locked on hers. His hand lifted, slowly and deliberately, brushi

  • Claimed by the Fallen Five   A Dangerous Yes

    The ship was restless with preparation, voices low but sharp as the Fallen planned their next steps. Mae barely heard them. Her mind was fixed on something else, something that gnawed at the edges of her thoughts and refused to loosen its grip.The chains.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw them, bright violet threads lacing beneath her skin, answering to Lucien’s like a reflection in water. The others didn’t see it, not fully, not the way he did. And she knew, somehow, that whatever this was, it belonged to the two of them alone.So when the moment came, when the others were distracted, Mae touched Lucien’s arm and nodded toward the corridor. He didn’t question, didn’t speak, just followed her into the silence of the ship’s lower deck.It was dark there, lit only by the hum of the vessel’s core, shadows wrapping around them like a cloak. Mae turned to him, her heartbeat thundering in her chest.“I need to understand it,” she said, her voice low, urgent. “The chains. My power. Wh

  • Claimed by the Fallen Five   The Union of Light and Chains

    The air between them was molten, every breath charged with unspoken promises. Mae’s skin still tingled where Lucien’s hands had touched, and though no words passed between them, she felt the weight of everything unsaid pressing closer than his body.Lucien’s lips brushed hers again, slower this time, deliberate, as if he wanted her to feel each second stretch. His touch was both grounding and consuming, tethering her to something solid even as the world seemed to unravel.Mae’s fingers traced the lines of his chest, memorizing the shape of him beneath her hands, each curve sparking a wave of heat. His strength was undeniable, but what struck her most was his restraint, the way he trembled slightly under her touch, as though holding back more than she could fathom.Her breath caught as his hand slid to the small of her back, drawing her closer. “You are not afraid of me,” he murmured, almost a question, almost a confession.Mae shook her head, her lips brushing his jaw. “I never was, n

  • Claimed by the Fallen Five   The Weight of a New Us

    The planet beneath them felt alive, the air heavy with the scent of something ancient, something that had been waiting. Mae stepped off the ship first, her boots crunching against the soft, foreign soil. Her heart was still racing from the journey, but there was something else, something simmering just beneath the surface.Lucien followed behind her, his footsteps silent, but there was an undeniable tension between them now. The planet stretched out before them, the landscape foreign and alien, but Mae couldn’t shake the feeling that everything had changed.It wasn’t just the world around her. It was him.The way his presence seemed to wrap around her, the weight of his gaze always lingering just out of reach. Mae hadn’t realized how much it affected her until now, how much she needed to close that gap between them, to feel the distance shrink.“Are we just going to stand here?” Mae asked, her voice louder than she meant as she turned back toward him. Her breath uneven, betraying the

  • Claimed by the Fallen Five   Whispers Before the Storm

    The hum of the ship was a constant beneath Mae’s feet, a soft vibration that seemed to seep into her bones as they ascended into the cold expanse of space. The stars outside twinkled like distant memories, and for a moment, she allowed herself to be lost in their beauty, the same beauty that had once filled her with wonder. Now, it was just another reminder of how far she had fallen, how much had changed.She could feel the distance between herself and the others, the silence in the air thickening as they left the planet behind. Lucien, Riven, Ashar, and Sethis were all somewhere in the ship, preparing for what was to come. But Mae remained on the edge, a quiet observer, struggling to push past the ache in her chest.She wanted to believe the promises they had made. She wanted to believe that they would find Kaine, that they would get the babies back. But the uncertainty gnawed at her, making it hard to trust even the calm voices of those around her.A quiet knock on the door pulled M

  • Claimed by the Fallen Five   Shadows of the Coming War

    The silence in the room was unbearable, a suffocating weight that pressed against every heart. Mae could still feel the ghost of the void’s presence, a lingering cold that gnawed at the edges of her mind. The others stood scattered around her, their expressions a mix of fear, disbelief, and rage, but it was Lucien who drew her gaze.He stood a few feet away, still as stone, his eyes locked on nothing. A single tear slipped down his cheek, catching in the low light before disappearing into the shadow that clung to him. It was not weakness that made him cry, Mae realized, but something deeper, something far older than any of them could comprehend.The air around them shifted, a tremor running through the floor, subtle yet unmistakable. The universe itself seemed to lean in, holding its breath. Mae’s pulse quickened. She felt the change before she could name it, an instinct screaming that nothing would ever be the same again.Riven’s wings twitched, feathers shivering as if they too sens
