LOGIN***CASSIAN***
“How could you do this to me?” I muttered under my breath as I stared at the text I sent to her, hand curling tightly around the phone.
This was supposed to be my way up the food chain. But now, I'm just a fucking joke. I leaned back against my chair and a heavy sigh tore from my chest as I hoped earnestly that Aurora would come back to me. I turned my phone's screen on one more time and as I was about to dial Aurora’s number, the door to the room opened and Celeste stepped in.
A bright smile spread across her face as she walked towards me in slow steps. “What are you up to? You've been locked in here for hours now.”
I forced a smile as she leaned closer to me and sat on my lap, cupping my face. “I know right… I'm just trying to close some business deals.”
She chuckled slowly, running a finger across my jawline. “You don't lie to me, Cassian. I can clearly see that you're still very worried about Aurora getting married to your Godfather.”
The way she read me so easily filled me with frustration, but it also made me decide to vent to her.
“Can you imagine…” the words rushed out before I could curb them. “Why exactly did Ronan agree to marry that twerp?”
“You know, it really hurts me to see you being so bothered about her…” she confessed, her gaze locked onto mine. “This is supposed to be our honeymoon, but we haven't even spent any time together.”
If only she could read my mind, then she'd understand how crazy her situation was with me. I never loved her—the main reason why I ditched Aurora for her was that I had used Aurora to step up, and marrying Celeste would make me more relevant in the court.
“I'm sorry,” I lied, grabbing her hands, and planting a soft kiss on her lips. “I promise to do better from now on.”
Her face brightened up instantly, and she pulled me closer to herself, pressing her body against mine tightly. A small smirk tugged at my lips as I thought about her fate when I'm finally done using her family’s influence.
I tried standing up from my chair, but she pushed me back so suddenly that my heart skipped a beat.
“What's that for?” I asked in a firm tone, despite the shock that had just struck me.
“You still haven't done your duties to me as my husband,” she responded, planting a wet kiss against my lips.
I scoffed, holding her chin up, then I stuck my tongue into her mouth. She moaned softly as we kissed, sinking her nails into my back. We kept going, and all I could think of at that moment was Aurora.
“You're getting hard already,” she jested, running her hand against my cock through my pants.
“Hmmm, hmmm…” I responded, grabbing her boobs and groping them mercilessly.
At that moment, my cock was so hard that I could feel a lot of pain in my pants, so I unzipped my belt, while still kissing her, and my cock sprang out.
“What the fuck…” She muttered in awe, as she paused and just kept staring at my cock. “Didn't think you were this big.”
“Are you scared now?” I asked, grabbing her hair, and sticking my tongue in her mouth.
She pushed my back, and a smile tugged at her lips. “Of course not… I'm actually excited."
I sighed heavily at her response, then I pushed her hard against the bed and she gasped. Her gaze fixed on me as I slowly unbuttoned my shirt and threw it off. Then I knelt close to her, undressing her slowly.
When I finally pulled off her panties, my breath caught at the scene unfolding before me—her pussy was slimming wet, and I couldn't help but gobble her up instantly. I clasped my lips against her pussy, and she moaned loudly, pulling my head closer to herself. I kept going, sticking my tongue into her walls, and making sure that I licked every last ounce of juice in her.
After a few more minutes, her legs started shaking, and I knew she was about to cum, so I stopped and straightened.
“Why did you stop?” She muttered under her breath, her hands clutching the sheets tightly.
“I'm not letting you have all the enjoyment when I haven't even climaxed yet,” I responded, gesturing for her to come closer.
She straightened weakly, eyes fixed on me. “So… what next?”
“Go on your knees and suck me,” I instructed, my cock pulsing so hard that I couldn't help but stroke it gently.
“But…” she stuttered. “You know I've never done this before, right?”
“Well, you can learn now.”
Her eyes lingered on me for a moment, then she went on her knees, clasping her wet lips around my cock. Her mouth only wrapped around the cap, so I pushed more into her mouth and she choked.
I scoffed, enjoying the sight, then I pulled her up and pushed her against the bed. Slowly, I moved towards her, still stroking my dick. I spread her legs wide and stuck two fingers in her swiftly, breaking her hymen.
“Hmm…” she groaned, eyes shut. But I ignored it.
I climbed over her, and I rammed my cock into her. It went in easier than I thought, but she screamed out loud, nails stuck in my arms. I slowly removed her hand, and I locked my fingers into her and kissed her passionately.
When she was finally calm, I started moving to and fro in small movements, allowing her to adjust to my massive length. And within just a few moments the sex started, I could see in her body movements that she was starting to enjoy it.
“Hmm… you feel so good,” she bit her lower lip, eyes shut.
I took that as a sign. I stopped being gentle, and I started ramming myself into her as fast as I could. Finally, I felt myself coming near, and as I sprayed my seeds into her wet pussy, her legs started shaking and I knew she came too.
I crashed on the bed right beside her as soon as I was done, and a loud laugh burst out of Celeste’s mouth.
“That was… crazy.”
“Yeah,” I responded, glancing at her. “You did well.”
Then I stood up and started walking towards the bathroom, but Celeste’s voice pulled me back.
“Where are you going… aren't we supposed to be cuddling right now?”
“I just need to clean up,” I responded, forcing a smile. “I'll be back in a minute.”
I entered the bathroom and shut the door behind me. A muffled laughter tore out of me as I stared at my reflection, then I dropped my head to the basin.
“YOU, AURORA, AND EVEN THE BLACKTHORNE'S INFLUENCE… EVERYTHING WILL BE MINE SOON.”
FINN'S POV“Evelyn, he's not the one who came back with you!”My mother's scream was followed by a loud cracking sound, and the mirror went completely dark.I turned towards Adrian, who was still standing a few feet away from us. He hadn't moved, but the smile on his face had disappeared.“What did she mean?” I demanded.He looked at me without answering.“There are two of you,” I continued. “The man behind my mother has your face, but she says you're not the one who came back with me. Who is he?”Adrian slowly adjusted his coat.“Your mother has always had a talent for making things more complicated than they need to be.”Ryan raised his sword. “Answer her.”Adrian glanced at him. “You should be more concerned about your brother, Your Majesty. You have spent years trying to understand why your father favoured him, but you have never asked yourself why he erased his memories.”Dylan stepped forward.“Stop talking about me and tell us what happened.”Adrian smiled faintly. “You really
FINN'S POV“Mom!”I took a step towards the mirror, but Ryan immediately caught my arm and pulled me back.“Don't move closer.”I struggled against his grip. “That's my mother!”“I know, but we don't know what he's doing.”The man with the scar chuckled as he watched us. He seemed completely unconcerned about the soldiers surrounding him, and the way he stood in front of the mirror made it clear that he had been expecting us.“Still as impatient as ever, Elara,” he said. “I suppose eleven years haven't changed everything.”“Let her go,” my mother suddenly said from behind the mirror.My entire body went still.Her voice was exactly as I remembered it. I had spent so many nights wondering whether I would ever hear it again, and now that she was standing in front of me, I could barely believe what I was seeing.“Mom, what happened to you?”She pressed her hands against the mirror.“Evelyn, listen to me. You need to leave this place.”The man laughed.“That's not what you told her eleven
FINN'S POV“Then who is he coming for?” Ryan asked.The girl behind the iron door looked at Liora.“The guardian.”Liora's fingers tightened around the pendant, and for a moment, she looked as though she wanted to deny it. However, she said nothing, which only made the situation more confusing.Ryan turned towards her. “You told us the girl inside was the guardian.”“I told you what I remembered.”“And now?”Liora glanced at the girl. “Now I know Varyn has found the first mirror.”Dylan stepped closer. “You're avoiding the question. If the girl is the guardian, why would Varyn be coming for you?”“Because there are two versions of the guardian's mark. One belongs to the child who entered the first crossing, and the other belongs to the child who remained outside it.”I looked between them. “Are you saying both of you are guardians?”“No,” Liora replied. “I'm saying the records were incomplete. The guardian was never meant to be a single person. One child carried the memory, while the
FINN'S POVI stared at Liora, trying to understand what she had just told me.“What do you mean she's not my sister?”Liora glanced towards the iron door again. “I mean exactly what I said. The girl inside that chamber is not the person you think she is.”“But she knows me. She called me Elara, and she remembers what happened eleven years ago.”“So do I.”I took a step towards her. “Then tell me what happened.”Ryan moved closer, his expression guarded. “You will explain everything, Liora. But first, tell us how you escaped.”“I didn't escape from anywhere.”“Your records say you died.”A faint smile crossed her face, although there was no amusement in it. “Your father's records say many things that aren't true.”Dylan folded his arms. “You were found near the northern river when you were six years old. You were brought into the palace, and your memories were sealed. Are you denying that?”“No. I'm saying that the person who brought me there knew exactly who I was.”“Who brought you?”
EVELYN'S POV“Don't let Liora tell you what happened.”I stared at the iron door, trying to understand why the girl behind it would say something like that. She had called me Elara as though she knew me, and the way she spoke made it clear that whatever happened between us was something she remembered very well.I turned towards Dylan. “You said Liora was inside this chamber. Is that the girl you're talking about?”Dylan shook his head slightly. “I didn't see her face. Varyn's men had locked me in another room, but I heard someone speaking to them. They kept asking her about the guardian and the key. She refused to answer.”“Then how do you know it was Liora?”“Because one of the soldiers called her by that name.”I looked back at the door. “But this girl is telling me not to trust her.”Ryan moved closer, studying the lock. “We shouldn't assume the person behind that door is telling us the truth. Varyn could have placed her here deliberately to make us doubt Liora.”“Why would he do
EVELYN'S POVI read the message again, hoping there was some mistake in the words, but nothing changed.Bring Elara to the northern river before sunrise. If you refuse, I will let the guardian remember everything, including why she killed her own sister.I slowly lowered the letter.“Ryan, what sister is he talking about?”He took the message from my hand, his expression darkening as he read it again.“I don't know.”“You said your father was involved in the experiment. You said my mother came to Drakoria eleven years ago. Now Varyn is claiming I killed someone. How much more is there that nobody has told me?”Ryan remained silent.I stepped closer to him.“I need you to tell me everything you know about my mother.”“I have already told you what I found in my father's records.”“No, you haven't. You just told me she was involved in opening the boundary, something you conveniently forgot to mention until now.”He looked towards Seraphina before returning his attention to me.“My father
