CHAPTER 38

By the time morning came, Dorian was dressed and downstairs like nothing had happened.

His face was composed, his hair slicked back as usual, his expression unreadable as he joined Lucian and Elias in the living room. Elias was curled into the corner of the couch with a book, Lucian was by the window, nursing a cup of coffee.

Lucian looked up. “Did Kai wake up?”

Dorian sipped from the mug in his hand. “He was fine.”

Right on cue, Kai strode in, shirt half-unbuttoned, that familiar cocky smirk tugging at his lips.

“Well, good morning to you too,” he drawled, stretching dramatically. “Did you all sleep as well as I did?”

Lucian was on him in an instant. “You look pale. Sit. What happened last night? You weren’t healing properly—”

Kai waved a hand. “I’m fine now, sweetheart. Just needed some rest and a bit of attention.” He shot a look at Dorian, but Dorian didn’t even blink. Just sipped his drink and walked past him like he didn’t exist.

Kai’s brows furrowed slightly. “Wow. C

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 97

    CHAPTER 97"You're frowning again," Kairis said flatly. She didn't look up from the tome she was unbinding, her pale fingers sliding over the cracked leather cover like she was petting something dead.Lucian barely glanced up. "Because everything here is useless. Pages ripped. Names redacted. It's like they want us blind.""They do." Kairis finally looked at him, her expression as bored as ever. "Knowledge is dangerous. Especially knowledge about beings older than angels."Lucian let out a breath and shoved a useless scroll aside. "You don’t sound surprised.""I’m not." Kairis cracked open the book with a low creak. "I grew up in the archives, remember? Most of the really old texts are sealed for a reason. Names that burn your tongue when you speak them. Truths that don't like being remembered."Lucian walked to her side, scanning the page. It was filled with ancient script—Faerian, but distorted. Bent like it had been carved in pain."What is this?""The Song of the Beforeborn," she

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 96

    CHAPTER 96The mirror stuttered.Isadora narrowed her eyes at the pulse of dark smoke swirling across the glass. Her fingertips grazed the edge of the spell, blood still fresh on her skin from the sacrifice it demanded. She tilted her head slightly, watching the reflection warp—until, finally, it cleared.The battlefield. The awakening. Elias.Golden light spilled from his chest, spiraling into divine geometry."Valarieth," she whispered, her voice full of venom and wonder.Her nephew.Her blood.A god hidden beneath all that weakness.She watched as the others surrounded him—Lucian, the faeblooded boy, the traitorous celestial bitch. And Elias stood among them, barely grasping what he was. Barely knowing the storm he’d just called down.Isadora’s nails dug into her palm.The mirror rippled again—another figure storming from the edge of the vision.Tristan.His face twisted with rage. His hand blackened with magic that wasn’t his. The dark power inside him pulsed like a second heartbe

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 95

    CHAPTER 95The sanctum was silent.Far below the earth, where no sunlight dared to crawl and no wind stirred the stale air, Tristan Everstone sat in a cradle of darkness.His back pressed to cold, damp stone. His hands trembled where they rested in his lap, fingers twitching at nothing. His once-pristine shirt was stiff with dried blood, torn open at the chest, revealing the black veins that pulsed and twisted like living vines beneath his skin.There were no torches in this place.Only the faint, bioluminescent hum of glyphs etched across the curved walls—pale purple, like bruises. They pulsed softly, alive in a rhythm that did not match his heartbeat. As though the chamber itself was breathing.Tristan had not spoken in hours.Not since he’d come here.Not since the thing in his arm had gone silent again.He curled his fingers into a fist. The blackened corruption spread all the way to his shoulder now. It hurt—but the pain was comforting. A tether to the last part of himself that s

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 94

    CHAPTER 94The first thing Elias noticed was the quiet.No pain. No pressure. Just silence and the soft hum of nature.His eyes cracked open, and he found himself staring at the ceiling of a room he didn’t recognize. The linens beneath him were crisp. Clean. It smelled like citrus and old paper.He pushed himself upright with a groan. Every limb ached like he’d run through fire and ice. His throat was dry, his mouth parched. His entire body screamed of overexertion, but it was his mind that felt heaviest. Like something enormous had been unlocked.Memories he couldn’t name buzzed beneath his skin.He stumbled from the bed, bare feet cold against marble tiles. He didn’t know where he was going, only that he needed air. Movement. Grounding. Answers.When he stepped out into the garden, the light hit him hard.And they were there.Lucian. Dorian. Kai. Kairis.They all looked up at once."Elias!" Lucian was the first to move, eyes wide. "You're awake. Are you—"But Elias’ gaze flicked str

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 93

    CHAPTER 93The Hall of Ascendancy was silent.The kind of silence that choked the throat and tightened the chest. Starlight filtered through the arched skylights above, and the massive, obsidian table in the center shimmered with faint ethereal runes pulsing to the rhythm of the gods’ unease.“He’s remembered,” Seraphiel said at last, voice barely above a whisper. “Elias has awakened… Valarieth walks again.”Gasps rippled. Even the oldest among them paled.“And you’re sure?” Samael asked, voice tense. “It’s not a partial awakening? No fragment, no bleed-through—this is… total?”Amaria, seated at the head, nodded solemnly. “Complete. The moment he struck down Erethar, the seals shattered. There was no hesitation. That was no longer a mortal boy wielding borrowed magic. That was Valarieth, sovereign of raw celestial force.”“He didn’t even falter,” Zevran muttered, fingers drumming nervously. “He subdued an entity older than time itself and expelled it without a conduit or ritual. That’

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 92

    CHAPTER 92A figure emerged from the swirling shadow of the ruin’s heart—tall, slow, deliberate.Lucian took one step forward, brows furrowed. “No,” he whispered. “No, that’s—”He stopped breathing.Elias’s eyes widened. “Wait… that’s—”“Luca?” Kai’s voice cracked like glass. “Lucian, is that—?”“No,” Lucian growled, his voice warping with fury. “That’s not him.”The figure stepped into the dying light, and the last strands of glamour melted away. It was Luca’s face—every inch of it. Same smirk. Same eyes. Except… wrong. Deep, too-deep black bled into his sclera. His pupils shimmered with an ancient malice. His skin, once warm with life, now looked like marble left too long in the cold.“Surprise,” the figure purred, his smile slithering. “Miss me, brother?”Lucian’s body jerked forward, but Kai held him back. “Don’t. Not yet.”“You’re not him,” Elias said, stepping back, voice low with shock. “You’re… Erethar.”“Bingo.” He clapped mockingly. “Took you long enough. I expected more fro
