Echoes of Hate Chapter 88
ARIA.My eyes shot open, but there was nothing. Nothing but a suffocating wall of darkness pressing in from every angle. It was the kind of black that seemed to eat the air itself, swallowing me whole. My chest heaved as panic set in, but each breath felt shallow, constricted, as though invisible hands were squeezing the life out of me. My heart pounded so violently against my ribs it hurt.Something was wrapped around me, tight and unyielding. I couldn’t move my arms, couldn’t kick my legs.The more I struggled, the more I became aware of the biting cold that was seeping into my skin and down to my bones. It was a paralyzing kind of chill that felt like icy fingers crawling over my body. I wasn’t sure if I was shaking from the cold or from fear.Fear slithered through me like smoke, curling around my thoughts until all I could feel was its crushing weight. My throat tightened, and I tried to call out, but the sound never came. My ears strained for anything that might explain where I

[Trigger Warning: There will be details of whipping. I will place markers before it.]ADAM. I felt the weight of the moment before I saw the gloves. My mate passed them to me with a look that said she trusted me to do what needed to be done.Thick leather, reinforced at the palms. I slid my hands into them as if I was putting on armor. The crowd watched with varying reactions. Some were apprehensive. Others shifted on their feet, restless, like they were caught between wanting justice and not quite wanting to watch it carried out.Then there was the Pro-Kelly crowd who didn’t see anything wrong with what she’d done. Her family, especially, were just as delusional as she was. Apparently, she had made them believe that Dane had a thing going on with her that they were keeping on the down-low.That was a laughable thought.Dane was at the edge of my vision, coiled with tension, but he couldn’t step in. Aria sat a breath from him, somehow steady despite how fucked-up everything was righ

DANE. I felt the weight of hundreds of stares, sharp and unyielding, slicing into me from every angle. Aria’s hand was in mine and the only thing that kept me from feeling like I was about to suffocate underneath it all.I had seen my parents eye me the same way when we walked onto the stage minutes ago. Their faces had given nothing away, but I knew damn well they were measuring me too. They were trying to figure out how I could’ve treated Aria the way that I did. They weren’t alone in that because I often questioned myself about it as well.Had my mate been anyone else, I doubted that I’d be standing next to them right now with a solidified mate-bond.The Goddess really did give me the most fucking incredible mate. Someone that I’d never deserve but would spend each and every damn day proving myself to her. She’d never again question her place in my life, which was right beside me.There was a storm of judgment and uncertainty that thickened the air as the pack looked at me. They w

ARIA.The bond flared with his emotions rushing through me in a dizzying wave—shame, guilt, fierce love, and unshakable resolve.My throat tightened upon feeling it all, especially the love part. We hadn’t expressed it to each other yet. But feeling it made me realize that I felt that way about him as well. Many people would question how in the hell I could love someone who had hurt me so damn much. It was something that even I questioned, but it was because he’d made it a point to show me who the true Dane was. I hadn’t expected him to say all of that so plainly, not in front of everyone, not with the weight of his mistakes laid bare. But he didn’t flinch. He didn’t hide. He stood there, ready to shoulder the judgment, as long as I stayed behind him where he could protect me.Bex’s gaze darted between us, wide with shock. Gambit muttered a curse under her breath, while Adam just sat back, arms folded, studying Dane like he was trying to decide if this was the same man who had once

ARIA.Tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them. I felt his lips brush them away, and the tenderness of it only made me cry harder. Not from pain, not anymore, but from the overwhelming ache in my chest that came from finally being seen.The bond thrummed inside of me like a second heartbeat tethered to his. It was warm and steady, filling me with more than just sensation. I could feel him. And I could feel the way that he had meant every single word that he whispered to me.And Goddess, how badly I’d needed that.For so long, I’d carried the belief that I wasn’t enough. That I was wanted only for what I could do for others or pitied because of what I’d endured. Now with him still inside of me, and the mark on my neck throbbing in time with our bond, I finally understood what it felt like to be wanted for me.Just for being Aria.“You make me feel… safe,” I admitted softly.His answering kiss was slow, reverent, his lips brushing mine like a promise. Then he lowered his mo

DANE. My hands slid to the hem of her dress, the silky fabric pooling between my fingers. I looked at her, needing to be sure, needing that unspoken permission. And Goddess, when her eyes met mine, steady and burning with trust, I knew I had it.That trust undid me more than any kiss ever could.I lifted the dress slowly, deliberately, revealing inch after inch of her flawless skin. My lips followed the rise, the curve of her waist, teasing her ribs, until the fabric was gone and she was sitting before me in the most breathtaking sight I’d ever seen.A matching bra and panty set—sinful and elegant all at once. Black lace against her pale skin, clinging to her curves like it had been made just for her. My mouth went dry, and a groan escaped before I could stop it.“Fuck, Aria…” My voice was hoarse, reverent. “You’re perfect.”She shifted under my gaze, a soft blush staining her cheeks, but the way she bit her lip and arched toward me told me she loved the way I was looking at her.
