Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 117: Shame
Lake's POV The sound of Lux's palm striking Alec's cheek echoed throughout the room, jerking me upright in bed. I stared, perplexed, attempting to catch up with what was happening. Alec stood there, face flushed and equally as shocked.Lux trembled in front of him, her eyes filled with betrayal before she spoke, accusing Alec of trying to hurt her by telling Reed about them. My eyes widened, not only from what he did, but also from Lux's genuine surprise. Didn’t she realize how this looked? Alec was Reed’s friend.Sleeping with him behind Reed's back was not only wrong but also reckless. And now it was unravelling. Alec spoke, stating that he was not sorry. "I told Reed because I wanted him to break up with you."A sob ripped from Lux, and she staggered back, like his words were physical blows. “Why?” she cried, voice trembling. “What did I ever do to you? Why would you do this to me?” Alec stepped toward her. "Don't!" she exclaimed, backing away, her arm jerking up like a shield. “D

Kairos's POV“What? What are you talking about?” Mom asked, looking at me like she didn’t know me and I repeated what I said, that I didn’t love Mira. She asked me when I realized this before asking who I loved, land maidens. “I don’t understand. Help me understand where this is coming from."I explained to her where it was coming from. I never pursued Mira; they chose her for me and expected me to love her. She cut me off, saying they never expected me to simply love her.She explained that they knew it would take some time to get to know each other, but that love would eventually come, as it had for them and my grandparents and great-grandparents before them.Mom reminded me that this had always been the case; the next king's queen was chosen by his parents to ensure suitability. She let out a long, quiet breath before taking my hand again, this time more firmly.“Kairos, you have the heart of a king and I know it’s not easy,” she continued. “I know what it means to carry the burden
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 115: Drifting
Lake's POV The door flew open, and Lux and Alec rushed in first, their faces filled with relief and concern. Reed followed behind them, but he lingered at the doorway, keeping his distance as Lux and Alec approached the bed. Lux was the first to reach me; she climbed onto the bed and wrapped her arms around me. I hugged her back."How are you feeling?" she asked, drawing back to look at me, but spoke again before I could respond, brushing hair away from my face. "Why are all these awful things happening to you?""I'm fine now," I said with a small smile, unable to respond to her second question and tell her that this time I had done this to myself.Alec took the next step forward, sitting on the bed and pulling me in for a brief, strong hug. "What did the doctors say?" he asked, and I informed them of their findings, which are consistent with Reed's. I also mentioned that they were running some blood tests to confirm.Reed spoke up from the doorway right at that moment. "I'm heading
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 114: A Coincidence
Lake's POV Kairos finally settled down beside me, still buzzing with excitement about my new abilities, and I must admit that he made me somewhat enthusiastic as well. I’d be even more so if I weren’t worried about whether I’d be able to act normal in front of people and not have any slip ups.That made me think of Reed and wonder what his strengths were. But Kairos needed to ask him before telling me. My mate noticed my thoughtful expression and inquired as to what I was thinking.I told him I was thinking about Reed and his strengths, and that I was still waiting for him to ask Reed about telling me. I also mentioned that I had strengths now, something to lose, so perhaps he would be okay with Kairos telling me.I didn’t even finish. Kairos sat next to me and told me Reed possessed the same strengths as I did. He had super hearing, probably the same speed as I did, and could breathe underwater. My eyes widened.“Is he mer?” I asked before stopping myself and telling him I understoo
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 113: A Buzzing Vitality
Third Party POV“What is going on with Kairos?” The question hung in the air, and Darian's lips moved before stopping again, without saying anything. What exactly was he supposed to say? Yes, Kairos had said to say whatever, but he knew he didn’t mean that.Furthermore, even if he meant it, he would never be the one to shatter their mother and Mira's world. This was Kairos's business to deal with. “Darian? What are you and your brother not telling me?” she asked, and only then did Darian find his words.He apologized, but said it was not his place to say what was going on with Kairos, and his response made his mother even more concerned. "Kairos can explain himself when he gets home," he added, before asking his mother to excuse him and telling her he needed to check on Mira.His mother's expression was beyond worried now, but she excused Darian, who made his way to the door without missing a beat.But he paused once he was out of his mother's sight, considering the answer he gave and
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 112: Worried
Lux's POVI drove like a mad woman as I tore through the roads, weaving past slower cars with my heart hammering in my chest. Kairos sat beside me in complete silence, his body rigid, his eyes trained out the window like he wasn’t even seeing anything.The only thing he’d said when he climbed into the car was a soft “thank you,” and that was it.I didn’t expect small talk, though. The worry on his face was enough, and I was as worried as he was. I glanced at him again as I turned down another road, and at that moment, his phone rang.He answered instantly, his voice low and not in any language I recognized. My brows knitted as I listened, trying to place it, but it was unlike anything I’d ever heard. It wasn't French, or Spanish, or German. It was too layered, which made it sound heavy.I wanted to ask what it was, but I held back, glancing at Kairos again and wondering if Reed spoke it too. Despite being cousins, they differed greatly from him. Reed could be intense, but Kairos and D
