GILDEON

Vergilius vanished from his spot. Before Gildeon could turn, he felt the vampire’s presence behind him, fangs aiming for the soft spot on his neck. Instinct took over—scales crawled from his shoulder, thickening over the vulnerable hide just as the fangs struck. The tips cracked with a sharp snap, a brief vibration running through his flesh.

Gildeon didn’t hesitate. He reached out, claws clamping onto the back of Vergilius’s neck. With a growl, he effortlessly hauled the vampire witch off his feet and flung him toward the church wall. But before the impact, Vergilius darted aside, landing gracefully on his feet like a cat.

ā€œI am impressed, salamander,ā€ Vergilius said with a smirk, tracing the jagged edges of his half-broken fangs. ā€œOr should I say, dragon? What I have learned of your kind holds true—impenetrable skin, indeed. But we shall see about that.ā€ His fangs regrew, gleaming beneath the moonlight, thicker than before.

    GILDEONLight Faes.His mouth parted slightly, eyes blinking in surprise. He’d only ever heard a few things about them. Ghulik had said they rarely crossed into the earthly plane, rarely involved themselves in the affairs of other beings.His jaw clenched. ā€œYou’re the ones who tried to harm my child,ā€ he muttered, summoning fire to his hand. ā€œSaved me the trouble of tracking you down.ā€A bitter wind whipped through the room, slamming into his hand with such force that it went numb. The cold snuffed out his flame in an instant.He stared, stunned. No other creature had ever done that before.ā€œYour fire holds no power against us.ā€But he was already releasing another flame, ignoring the remark.ā€œIf you persist,ā€ the Fae warned, ā€œyou will only kill this human.ā€Gildeon gritted his teeth, every muscle in his body tightening. It wasn’t about concern for Professor Leviste’s safety—he hadn’t meant to put her at

    GILDEONThe department head made him sit through the scattered video clips that students had taken during yesterday’s incident. Most focused on the sudden bite to the female professor’s shoulder, and the fire that had exploded out of nowhere in the hallway.The problem was—he and Arah were clearly in them.ā€œCare to explain why you were here, Mr. Ayadi?ā€ Professor Leviste asked, her white hair catching the daylight pouring through the tall windows behind her. She had the stern face of a strict grandmother—but the voice of one who always had sweets in her pocket.ā€œYou weren’t due to report back until next week,ā€ she added. ā€œYou even brought your wife.ā€He regretted ever putting that fake wedding photo of him and Arah on display on his desk. Back then, he’d thought mimicking human behavior would help them not stand out.Now the irony was biting him in the ass.Gildeon had to be careful about what excuse to give. And as R

  • MAD END'S DECEPTIONĀ Ā Ā 213 - Other Ways To Hurt You

    ARAHJust when she thought she was ready to forgive Gildeon, he gave her another reason to burn.ā€œIt’s not enough that you slept with another woman—a crazy witch, no less.ā€ She slammed her hands on the stone table. ā€œGot her pregnant. And now you want her to live here?ā€She paused, catching her breath. Her chest stormed with rage, tight enough to burst. Wind slapped against them, tearing leaves from the tree, fluttering down like the last shreds of her patience.It was too much to take in.Ever since discovering she was a sylph, she’d been quietly training herself to keep her emotions in check. The last thing she wanted was to stir up chaos every time the wind responded to her mood.But this situation was pushing her to the edge. The fact that her outburst had triggered only a mild reaction felt like a small miracle already.Gildeon’s mouth parted slightly, his gaze flicking up to the tree above them with a mix of surp

  • MAD END'S DECEPTIONĀ Ā Ā 212 - Her Stupid Heart

    GILDEONHis glasses hit the floor just as he charged Lexi, his arm shifting mid-motion into its full dragon form. His clawed hand locked around her neck. Her glass slipped from her grip, spilling dark violet liquid down her chest. She clutched at his arm, more out of reflex than any real struggle.ā€œI killed you,ā€ he growled, pinning her to the couch. The fabric tore, and the frame groaned beneath them.Her voice came strained, cracked through the pressure on her windpipe. ā€œWhat... can I... say?ā€ A weak smirk flickered at the edge of her lips. ā€œI’m full of... surprises.ā€Then he remembered it—that faint red glimmer he’d seen rising from the Crab Witch’s burning body. Her soul. It must’ve been her soul.Didn’t matter. He’d kill her again. And this time, he’d burn the soul for good, too.His grip tightened, claws pressing deeper, feeling the pulse of her throat thrumming against the tips. A wet rasp escaped her lips, some mix b

    GILDEONHe never thought he’d set foot in Lexi’s apartment again. But she’d left him no choice. She wouldn’t talk at the hospital. After they discharged her, he’d driven her home—where she promised to give him answers.ā€œYou want some wine, Professor?ā€ Lexi asked as she walked toward the kitchen. ā€œJust for you, though. I can only have some juiceā€”ā€ā€œI’m not here for a social call, Lexi,ā€ he cut in, not even bothering to sit down. ā€œTell me the truth. That child can’t be mine.ā€ā€œStraight to business again, huh?ā€ she taunted, pulling his memory back to that first night he came here. How he’d pressed her against the wall without a word, claimed her mouth in a bruising kiss, torn off her dress, and taken her from behind—All the while thinking of Arah.He hadn’t regretted it. Didn’t even see it as a mistake. It had been necessary—to appease his dragon spirit. But if he’d known it would land him in this situation, Lexi wouldn’t have

    GILDEONLexi was pregnant.The revelation hit him like a gut punch. His first thought was that he might be the father, but that was about as likely as the sun freezing over. Lexi must’ve been with someone else—that was the only explanation that made a fucking sense.ā€œI’m going with her to the hospital,ā€ Arah said, avoiding his gaze. ā€œI had to move her out of the way earlier. I just want to make sure her baby’s okay.ā€He felt the urge to reach out, to touch her face, but she clearly didn’t want that. Was she thinking the baby was his? He wanted to confront her about it, but he didn’t even know what Lexi had told her exactly.Either way, now wasn’t the time. The paramedics were closing in, and he had to get Ghulik out of there.ā€œI’ll pick you up at the hospital later,ā€ he told Arah as he lifted Ghulik into his arms.She didn’t say a word, nor did she spare him another glance.He decided to let her be.
