Anger and disappointment burned in his chest. “We had a plan for this, Roselia,” he growled, his gaze hardening on the witch. “What the fuck happened?”
“Drusden set a trap in the fog, My Lord.” Roselia stared down at her trembling hands, caked with dirt and blood. “An efficient one… to capture Miss Arah.”
“You were supposed to use your fog.”
Her head snapped up. “If I used it as a barrier for Miss Arah, those witches would’ve taken me down right then and there.” She pointed to her chest. “They had their orders—I saw it plain in their eyes.” She shook her head and sucked in a shaky breath. “I made a choice.”
His jaw clenched. “To give up Arah instead?”
“My Lord, that barrier was never going to hold for long,” she said firmly. There was a subtle hint of hurt in her eyes that made Gi

MAD END'S DECEPTION 217 - Threat We Can't Ignore
ARAHShe woke in the middle of the night to find Gildeon gone from the bed. Pushing the sheets aside, she stood and spotted him through the window, pacing in the backyard. At first, she thought he was checking the security spells around the house—but no, he just looked lost in thought.Grabbing her robe, she stepped outside and quietly approached him. He didn’t even notice her until he nearly walked right into her.“Arah?” he said, startled.She tucked her hair behind her ear. “Couldn’t sleep?”“I did, for about an hour.”She resisted the urge to reach for his arm and instead hugged herself. “Is something else bothering you? What is it?”Gildeon raked a hand through his hair and sighed, his gaze drifting into the distance. He was silent for a long moment before he spoke again.“It’s the Light Faes, Arah.”She blinked. “What?”He turned to her, a dreadful look clouding his serpent eyes. It was the
MAD END'S DECEPTION 216 - She's Gildeon's Problem
ARAHShe’d forgotten how impossible it was to keep secrets on this island, and how Tonio seemed to have friends in every corner. A hospital staff member had told him about seeing her and Gildeon with a college student patient. It all escalated from there. Tonio had talked to Cora, and Cora unintentionally slipped up.Now Tonio looked like a raging bull, springing up from the couch, ready to charge out of her studio to confront Gildeon.“Sit down, you oaf!” Cora rolled her eyes and yanked him back down. “As if you could actually land a punch.”“Hey, I did knock a tooth out of your ex-husband,” Tonio countered.Cora planted a hand on her hip. “Romel’s half your size. There’s a difference.”Tonio let out a sharp sigh and dropped his gaze to the floor. “That son of a bitch Gildeon needs to learn a lesson too,” he muttered, grinding his knuckles into his other palm. “A real man should never cheat on his woman.”“It’s fine,
MAD END'S DECEPTION 215 - Seven Nights
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. “You’re the ones who tried to harm my child,” he muttered, summoning fire to his hand. “Saved me the trouble of tracking you down.”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.“Your fire holds no power against us.”But he was already releasing another flame, ignoring the remark.“If you persist,” the Fae warned, “you will only kill this human.”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
MAD END'S DECEPTION 214 - Threat You Have Created
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.“Care to explain why you were here, Mr. Ayadi?” 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.“You weren’t due to report back until next week,” she added. “You even brought your wife.”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 DECEPTION 213 - Other Ways To Hurt You
ARAHJust when she thought she was ready to forgive Gildeon, he gave her another reason to burn.“It’s not enough that you slept with another woman—a crazy witch, no less.” She slammed her hands on the stone table. “Got her pregnant. And now you want her to live here?”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 DECEPTION 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.“I killed you,” 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. “What... can I... say?” A weak smirk flickered at the edge of her lips. “I’m full of... surprises.”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
