GILDEON

They found another abandoned block, perfect for a battlefield. Alaunus set up a grid to prevent any destruction if things got out of hand. Arah watched from the railing upstairs, standing between Vienna and Drusden, who was smoking what had to be his tenth cigarette of the day.

Zylas had been asleep just minutes ago, but he’d managed to get up—probably smelling the fight about to happen. That worked for Gildeon. He wanted to see how these witches would react if he challenged their precious coven member to fight him.

Ghulik had been circling and sniffing Zylas—trying to figure out how that man existed, especially on Earthland.

“Who do you fancy fighting first?” Alaunus asked with a false air of friendliness, standing against the wall and massaging his hand.

“Why, you joining in? Thought you were just a healer,” Gildeon said dryly. “Shouldn’t you be off burning herbs or polishing crystals?”

Zylas howled with laughter by the stairs, a fresh beer in hand. “That was a solid burn, m

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   305 - To Keep Her Safe

    GILDEONHe watched the Fallen Immortal shove his hands into the pockets of his white pants, circling Arah like she was a rare art piece—one he was studying with a strange, reverent hunger.Yonah didn’t look like a threat, but Gildeon was ready for the moment that changed.“I’ve always been curious about this one,” Yonah said, tone playful, the smile on his thin lips laced with something sinister. “She’s no ordinary sylph. That much is obvious.”“Why are you here?”The Fallen Immortal paused, lifting his gaze with that ever-present amusement gleaming in his amber-silver eyes. “You’ve already forgotten your little mission?” He tilted his head. “I’m here to give you the dagger’s location and the Shining Keeper’s True Name.”Gildeon said nothing, his thoughts dragging him back to their first encounter. Yonah had made promi

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   304 - You're The Exception

    GILDEONFor the next few days, they’d kept themselves occupied preparing for the possibility of an incoming assault.It had been fortunate that Ghulik had finally awakened. Though his memories of the breach had been hazy, he’d still been able to identify the location where he believed Commander Haemos and his army would emerge.Coincidentally, it had turned out to be one of the three sites they’d previously suspected as the location of the Dark Plane gateway’s emergence—the narrow cliff pass along the rocky shoreline.It all made sense. The area pulsed with one of the strongest concentrations of mystical energy on the island—an ideal anchor point for a portal from Shamibar.They’d moved immediately. Roselia had taken command of the sealing ritual, assisted by several witches she had met abroad—the same ones who had helped temporarily bind the cosmic breach in Nepal.The spell had demanded an enormous amount of power, and so

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   303 - Won't Break Your Heart

    ARAHHer hand flew to his shoulder with the intent to push him away, but it faltered. Her fingers curled instead, gripping muscle, then slid up to his neck, where his skin was hot beneath her palm. The kiss sharpened instantly. It was insistent, mouths moving with purpose, breath tangling between them.Her lips parted, a soft sound escaping her, and he took it as an invitation. The world narrowed to heat and pressure, to the scrape of his stubbled jaw, the solid presence of him pressed close. When his hand slipped the strap of her nightie free, she inhaled sharply, the sudden exposure making her more aware of herself than she’d ever been. He cupped her breasts, his thumb teasing and tugging at each sensitive peak, pulling a whimper from her lips.He then lowered his head, his tongue circling her areolas before capturing the hardened bud between his teeth and sucking intensely, drawing a sharp arch from her back.His other hand slipped under her nightie, caressing the inside of her thi

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   302 - With Every Part Of Me

    ARAHShe held her breath as Gildeon’s face darkened, his hard expression sending her pulse into a sprint.Then came his voice laced with heat. “No.”Her brows pulled together. “What do you mean, no?”Feviel stepped in. “It’s her choice to come with me. You can’t stop that.”“Try me,” Gildeon growled low. One of his hands morphed, scales creeping up his forearm, claws igniting with fire.“Gildeon, stop it!” Arah snapped.He threw her a sharp look. “You think after what happened today, I’ll let you out of my sight?”Her words caught in her throat.“Hate me all you want,” he said, “but you’re staying here. Whether you like it or not.”Arah felt his anger, and she found herself unable to oppose him. Then she saw Feviel tense beside her, ready to argue, but she reached out and gently grabbed his arm, stopping him.Gildeon’s glare snapped to her hand. She felt heat lick her skin. She yanked it back instinctively, the spot stinging.“It’s okay, Feviel,” she said quietly. “You can leave me he

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   301 - Drove Him Mad

    GILDEONHe couldn’t shake the suspicion gnawing at him about the sylph Arah had called Feviel.Gildeon knew he was hiding something. But what unsettled him most was whatever the sylph had done to make the hunter release them. It didn’t make sense.As far as Gildeon understood, hunters never abandoned a mission—not unless directly ordered by the Shining Keeper.What the fuck was that sigil? Everything had happened so fast, he hadn’t gotten a clear look. Just a flash of blue, ancient symbols, and suddenly... silence.Yadira’s voice broke through his thoughts. “I don’t understand why you ordered us to leave, Captain,” she said. “We could’ve demanded answers from him right then.”He barely looked at her. “Arah needs time with that sylph alone,” he said, voice distant, his mind still tangled with thoughts of the hunter.Yadira muttered behind him. “I don’t understand why you’re doing that sylph’s bidding. Tell us she doesn

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   300 - A Grim Prophecy

    ARAHShe caught Feviel casting discreet glances toward Gildeon before finally speaking.“I can’t say certain things,” he said, “in the presence of the salamanders.”“You bastard,” Yadira snapped. “You swore you would tell us once Arah was safe.” She gritted her teeth. “I knew you sylphs couldn’t be trusted.”Arah blinked, mildly stung by the remark. But she let it pass. Yadira had every reason to be cautious of their kind. Still, it hurt a little to hear it said out loud.“Yadira,” Gildeon called his lieutenant to heel. Then he turned to Arah, his eyes softening slightly as they met hers—a silent question in his gaze, asking what she wanted to do.“I want to talk to Feviel alone,” she said.He narrowed his eyes, and for a second she thought he would insist on staying. But something else seemed to have bothered him.“Feviel?” he murmured, turning his attention to the other sylph. “So you do know him.”
