GILDEON

Standing with his hands tucked in his pockets, he glanced around Professor Nowak’s office.

Books were strewn across the floor, pages torn and crumpled. Pens and folders lay scattered in chaos. Maps hung from the wall in shreds, corners dangling loose. On the whiteboard, the diagrams and arcane symbols had been half-erased. Some were violently shattered, while others were left in jagged fragments.

From the look of it, Gildeon could imagine exactly what had happened here.

A man comes home to find his wife reverted to the shell she used to be—and he wages war on whatever force stole that second chance from him.

Or, to be more precise, it was Professor Nowak’s war against himself.

Gildeon watched the old man pace in front of his cluttered desk, brows drawn tight as he flipped through the pages.

Some things, he figured, you just couldn’t strip out of a man—no matter how much life had tried to break him.

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   219 - So-Called Keepers of Peace

    GILDEONRoselia and Ghulik were still out cold, but he kept himself busy. He checked every corner of Roselia’s workshop for anything that might give him more intel on the Light Faes.But aside from a few objects radiating an aura similar to what he’d felt from the being, there was nothing useful.He sifted through the grimoires and spellbooks neatly stacked on a dusty bookshelf. One of the books only repeated what he already knew: that Light Faes rarely harmed humans—unless it was to punish them for seriously violating nature or the creatures under their protection. They were considered the so-called keepers of peace, the guardians of cosmic balance.Kohina had once told him about intelligent beings from other dimensions. They were entities even the Shining Keeper had no authority over. Back then, it had sparked his curiosity. He even remembered wanting to meet one.How infuriating that had turned out.Gildeon also found it

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   218 - Since His Resurrection

    ARAH“Arah, it’s me.” Jeric’s voice called from behind the door, a little shaky.She pulled the door open fast and saw him backing away from Barky, who was snarling with his teeth bared. Jeric’s grip tightened around the paper bags in his hands. The dog stood low, growling deep in his throat, angry eyes fixed on Jeric.“Barky, stop!” she commanded. “It’s Jeric. You used to like him.”Barky didn’t listen. He kept creeping forward, step by step, muscles tense. It wasn’t until she stepped between them that the dog seemed to snap out of it. His eyes shifted to her, and something in her—maybe the look on her face—made him hesitate. He snorted, then turned and slunk back to his doghouse like nothing had happened.She turned to Jeric, who looked just as stunned as she felt.“I’m so sorry. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” she asked quickly, then paused, a realization creeping in.Gildeon had told her Barky could sense Ghulik—t

    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

    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
