Chapter 27 - Mates
Balthazar’s POV
I couldn’t get the way she felt against me as she slept out of my head. Every thought seemed to circle back to her head, resting on my chest. The sigh of relief she gave when I held her tight made my heart race, the warmth of her body matching mine. When I finally pushed the thoughts of her away. It was as if Terra was taunting me herself. The breeze would shift, and the smell of vanilla and chocolate would find a way to me, bringing them all back.
The ride through the forest was only a temporary distraction. Once we made camp, I had nothing to keep my mind or hands busy. My thoughts kept pushing me to be near her. Talk to her, do anything to get her attention. I felt like a kid trying to earn the love of a pet. No, a pet wasn't a good comparison or was it. I don’t know an

Chapter 28 - InfectionThe familiar sparks were what continued to bring me back to consciousness as we raced through the fields. I could hear the shouts of everyone around me but was too out of it to understand anything they were saying. The constant sound of a beating heart was the only thing that really confirmed I was still here. I began to have lucid dreams, my body overheating as it fought whatever infection was trying to take hold. I felt my body shiver as blackness pulled me under once again.“Imelda.” A voice whispered.“Just a little longer.” I groaned, my voice not sounding the same as it usually did. The voice who called for me becoming clearer as they laughed.“My sweet girl. If you sleep too long, you will miss the falling stars. You don’t want to miss the
Everlasting Fire Lost
Chapter 29 - Lost Imelda’s POV Everything hurt. I felt as though I was the dummy used for sparring classes. Just breathing causes a great deal of discomfort. But the heat, the unbearable heat, was gone. I no longer felt like my skin was on fire. My body felt like it was made of lead, and it ached like I was the focus of target practice, but that all meant one thing. One thing that allowed me a chance to endure the aches and the heaviness. It meant I was alive and that eventually, I would be able to continue on with what I had set out to do. I could hear a soft snore beside me and the shuffling of footsteps on a wooden floor that sounded far away. My senses slowly began to come back to me. A new realization setting in, one I wasn’t sure I wanted to see. There wasn’t the sound of a fire burning or the sound of the trees swaying in the breeze. Instead, the ground beneat
Everlasting Fire A Promise
Chapter 30 - A PromiseTwo weeks have passed since we were attacked. Two weeks had passed since we thought we lost Balthazar. It had been two long weeks since I experienced the most breathtaking kiss of my life and walked away. I have had many dreams of it since then. They would start differently but always end the same. Me turning my back on him, too afraid to see his face.When we returned, everyone was angry with him, but he was back to his usual self—laughing at the hatred and making his opinions on this travel known. The only difference now was how distant he was with me, how he would avert his gaze from me. Make sure to never speak to me directly.I thought I wouldn’t care, but I was so wrong. I couldignore how he made me feel, forget how good his skin felt on mine, but I couldn’t. It haunted my
Everlasting Fire Everlasting fire
Chapter 31 - Everlasting FireThe hours of the night ticked by slowly. I couldn’t get his words out of my head. ‘I feel nothing for you. You were just a piece to a game I am no longer interested in playing.’ Lies, that’s what his eyes told me. All he was speaking were lies, trying to push me away. I stared up at the night sky until the black of night mixed with the oranges of the morning sun.As if the sun itself had summoned him there, Balthazar was standing by his horse checking the saddlebags, not even sending a glance my way. At that moment, I decided I wasn’t going to let this silence between us last any longer. Since he could break the deal with me being forced to follow him into the underworld, I would break the deal we made together, stopping him from being forced to lead us to Ryuu.I grabbed my blanket and rolled it up quickly, not c
Everlasting Fire My King
Chapter 32 - My King “Careful, love. Making promises like that will get you into all sorts of predicaments.” Balthazar warned in a husky voice. The way he changed from ignoring me to taunting me made my head grow dizzy. But as of right now, I didn’t care. Everything about him called to me. My body, mind, and soul craved him in every way it could. “It’s worth the risk.” I drawled. My eyes were roaming his face taking in how dark his eyes were with hunger, how his grin pulled up just enough to reveal the tips of his teeth. The way his lips glistened and how the water droplets clung to his sharp cheekbones, and how it dripped from his almost white hair. A low growl of approval rumbled in his chest as he moved closer. I wanted so badly to run my fingers through his hair. Run them down his perfectly sculpted chest. I wanted to touch every inch of his body and then taste it. But I held back, wai
Everlasting Fire Trust
Chapter 33 - TrustWhen I got out of the springs, I was alone. I quickly got dressed and hurried back to our post so Garren could have a chance tobathe. My head was spinning as I rushed back. My skin tingled where ever Balthazar had touched me. My lips were bruised from how hard we kissed. I could still taste him, which only made me ache for him all over again. I still couldn’t believe how much he had told me. I couldn’t believe that everything, negative and evil, about him, started because of a lie. He was kind, but over time he got lost, broken, and I was the one who needed to help put all the pieces back together. I was the one who was meant to help him rebuild his future, rebuild his dreams.He was the one who saved me from the darkness just as I was the one to cast new light into his life. We were beacons for one another calling each other home. The bond had opened my eyes, but his truths had opened my heart. And now t
Everlasting Fire Kolgrim
Chapter 34 - KolgrimBalthazar POVI felt like the whole world suddenly halted—the words I never expected to hear coming out of Imelda's mouth made me freeze. I wanted to pinch myself to confirm this wasn’t a dream. I felt like the only thing holding me in this new reality was her hand in mine. Gravity only worked because of our pull to one another. I feared that once she let go, this moment would shatter, and I would be sitting out here alone once again.This woman in front of me, with her beautiful waves of onyx hair and emerald eyes that could cast anyone into a trance. She was the only person who could destroy me, could kill me. Because a world without her in it was a world I never wanted to experience again, it set a whole new emotion through me. Fear, who would have thought I would ever get to feel this aga
