MAERWYNN POV

I can’t make out the words—just the muffled hum of voices behind the door. But I know it’s hard. For both of them. Father and Edina.

My hands knot together as I lean against a pillar, trying to stay still, trying to keep the pounding in my chest from echoing down the corridor. I squeeze my eyes shut, but I can still hear her words like a blade to the gut.

She said she doesn’t have it in her to care anymore.

Not even for me.

I brush a tear from my cheek and exhale. At least she still carries something in her heart—Lorcan. That memory, that grief, it’s something. A small piece to anchor her. And maybe, just maybe, a sliver of Father still lingers inside her too.

The doors creak open and I straighten.

Adrian stands there.

His eyes hold no warmth. Just steel and bitterness.

“Your boyfriend must be thrilled,” he says flatly. “One of ours—turned fae.”

I scoff, stepping forward. “You think anyone wanted this? Valen tried harder than anyone to stop it.”

“Oh, sure. The High Lord d

  • Court Of Sins And Twilight   Chapter 51- Cool to the touch

    EDINA POVI could barely see another soul in this place.It was too quiet—almost sacred in its stillness. A few steps down the corridor, the sound of my own footfalls against the polished marble felt like an intrusion. Every now and then, I caught a flicker of movement—pixies, tall and lithe with skin like deep midnight, wings transparent as glass. They moved silently, dusting ornate frames, trimming glowing vines, adjusting candle sconces with the precision of ritual.No more than three of them had appeared so far. In a house this large, it was unnerving.Valen’s palace had been teeming—ten people at every corner, always someone watching, whispering, judging. That place had been all light and echoing footsteps and the weight of court expectations.This?This felt like shadow and stone and the kind of quiet you could sink into and never come back out of.I turned another corner, pausing beneath a towering arch. The hallway was carved of pale, veined stone, smooth as silk, almost cryst

  • Court Of Sins And Twilight   Chapter 50- Everywhere else

    EDINA POVIn the blink of an eye, I was standing somewhere else.Gone was the wedding. Gone were the eyes on me, the altar, the spilled goblet of wine soaking into stone.Instead—I stood beneath a massive, ancient oak whose branches stretched like arms across the sky, woven through with hanging moss and strands of star-lanterns that glowed faintly with blue-green fire. Dozens—maybe hundreds—of candles floated midair in a gentle spiral around us, casting golden light against the surrounding stone.Baelorin's estate.Built into the side of a cliff and tree-rooted ravine, it rose like something out of a forgotten fairytale—vaulted arches, ivy-drenched balconies, and twisted ironwork railings. Moss blanketed the walls, softening every sharp corner. Crystal-clear water ran beneath the bridges and footpaths, shimmering under the candlelight like liquid sapphire.It was beautiful.And I hated it.Because it meant I was really here. That this had happened.And worse—he was behind me.Close. C

  • Court Of Sins And Twilight   Chapter 49- Time to go, Sweetling

    EDINA POVI don't know if I was imagining it, but Baelorin stood at the end of the aisle now, shadowed in the garden's dim gold and silver light, his face drawn taut with—rage, hurt, possession. The moment our eyes locked, my steps faltered.The golden goblet slipped from my hand with a loud clatter, tumbling end over end before hitting the path. Wine spilled across the stone, a dark crimson arc that soaked into the edge of my silver gown like a wound.Gasps rippled through the gathering.Guards appeared in the hallway, hands resting on the hilts of their weapons, their movements stiff and hesitant. Mumbles rose, low and confused, and I wasn’t sure if they were gasping at Baelorin's audacity or my reaction to seeing him.Valen was the first to move. He stepped down from the raised platform, every inch the High Lord now—shoulders squared, jaw tight. "Baelorin," he said, voice like tempered steel.Baelorin tilted his head slightly. "Valen. How high of you to try to play me. To go back o

  • Court Of Sins And Twilight   Chapter 48- Wedding of Gossamers

    EDINA POVGrand flower domes had been erected in the garden. I could see them clearly from the window of my room, glowing softly under twilight’s veil—blush roses, night-blooming lilies, and starlace vines woven into sweeping arches that crowned the aisle like a blooming cathedral.I stood there in silence, my heart pounding like war drums in my chest. One beat for every question that looped through my head. One for every doubt I tried to swallow.And for a fleeting, terrible moment—I wondered if I’d made a mistake.What have I done?Did I like Rhaenan? Yes.He was kind. Gentle. Steady in a world that had spun too wildly out of control. He made me feel safe, and that was more than most had ever given me. He made me laugh sometimes, when I forgot how.But love?Love was something else entirely. Something deeper. Wilder. Something with claws and fire.And yet—just to escape the threat of a man with green eyes like a weapon, I had agreed to this.A pact. A bond. A wedding that felt more

  • Court Of Sins And Twilight   Chapter 47- Redemption archs

    MAERWYNN POV“And if I do this… what changes?”“You’ll be stronger,” Caelora said. “Connected. The Aether won’t just react to you—it’ll answer you. And it won’t split you apart every time you reach for it. Or dissapoint.”“It’ll be yours,” Lira added, more quietly. “Fully. Finally.”I nodded once, unsure if the tremble in my hands was fear… or clarity.Because I’d been asking for this—something. A way to stop being caught in the middle. A way to stop feeling like a spark that could burn me alive at any second.But I didn’t know it would come with a choice like this.A choice to die.I swallowed hard. “What are the redemption rights? To be in the Cidron’s good graces, I mean.”Caelora hesitated. “Well... you’re the Aether. That’s a plus.”“Yeah,” I said bitterly. “I’m the Aether because my kin stole it and fused it into our blood. That’s a crime, not a credential. I don’t think she’ll see that as a charming backstory.”Lira nodded, arms crossed. “Fair point.”“Well,” Caelora said, half

  • Court Of Sins And Twilight   Chapter 46- Reckoning of unity

    MAERWYNN POVI’ve never attended a faerie wedding.Honestly, I never thought I ever would—at least not in this lifetime. But then again, I never thought I’d be dragged into Lyria either. And yet, here I am. Standing in the middle of a garden that feels more like a dream than a place, watching a wedding take shape right before my eyes.Pixies flitted through the air, carrying ropes of flowers and weaving them into sweeping arches along the edge of Valen’s garden. The blooms shimmered softly, shifting colors with the light—lavender, ivory, moonstone blue. It was a blend I’d never seen before, delicate but wild, elegant but untamed. Just like the court itself.The aisles curved in lazy, organic spirals rather than strict rows, and the benches—crafted from twisted silverwood and leaf-carved ends—floated a few inches above the ground as if the earth itself had given them permission to hover.Firelights drifted lazily through the air, glowing like warm stars suspended in the golden dusk, wh
