Many Years Ago (Part 5)

GILDEON

He idly scratched his head with the point of his shortsword. “What’s a girl like you doing on a ship like this?”

Her blue eyes glowed with fury as she tightened her grip on the dagger and sprang to her feet. He immediately shoved her head down before she could rise, his strength overwhelming her.

“Hey, your brother used his last bit of strength to keep me from your crate,” he said in a low voice. “So stay there until I figure out what to do with you.”

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   313 - Too Far Gone

    GILDEONEverything Drusden’s memory fragments had carved open for him slammed back into place at once.His father, Daego, and his wife, Ragina. The clash with the Greater Beasts. His father stumbling home with an infant in his arms. The Dark Plane yawning open like a wound.“You’re the one who lied to me,” Gildeon growled. “About who my parents were. About how my father—General Daego—died.”Haemos’s salamander eyes narrowed to burning slits. “How did you know about that?” he demanded.Heat flickered harder around the commander’s scaled face as he shook his head. “Kohina wouldn’t dare. She swore a seer’s vow.”“It doesn’t matter how I knew,” Gildeon said. “Tell me why you’re calling my father selfish. He sacrificed himself to save the salamanders.”“He doomed us,” Haemos snarled, “by bringing you back with him after his disappearance.”Gildeon froze.“Your father was given a choice,” Old Man went on, flam

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   312 - As Selfish As Your Father

    GILDEONHe’d dropped his guard.He hated admitting it, but there had been plenty of times Old Man had slipped past his defenses over the years—appearing out of nowhere, catching him off balance, reminding him who had trained him in the first place. Usually, Gildeon only realized it when it was already too late.This time was different.Not just because half of his mind was still locked on Arah—on her safety, on her pulse in the distance—but because Commander Haemos felt heavier, meaner, more dangerous than anything Gildeon remembered.Salamanders didn’t bleed aura like other beings. One could only see their true level in battle. But Gildeon carried a dragon spirit. Just standing this close, it could taste Haemos’s threat level like metal on the tongue.This version of Old Man was more formidable than the one he’d sparred with before.“You had me fooled, little bastard,” Haemos rasped, lips peeling back from his beast’

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   311 - Echo Of His Heartbeat

    ARAHDanger prickled the back of her neck a split second before her mind caught up.Her body moved first.The wind tattoo on her forearm peeled away from her skin, snapping into the air like a released whip. In the same breath, her owl sigil burst free from her abdomen, the tiny inked shape stretching and unfolding mid-flight. Wings widened, bones and feathers building themselves out of glowing sigil lines until her female owl was a colossal bird above her, shadows of its wings swallowing the moonlight.She felt the rush of air before she heard the shrieks.The owl beat its wings hard, each powerful stroke throwing knives of wind across the sand. The front line of salamanders jerked back, their flames guttering as the gusts shoved them a few steps away, buying her a heartbeat of space.Arah spun, heart hammering, eyes automatically searching for him.She found Gildeon in the distance, and her stomach dropped.H

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   310 - You Leave Us No Choice

    GILDEONHis eyes went wide, pulse punching hard against his ribs.He’d always known this was a possibility. Some part of him had been waiting for it, braced for it. But he’d still hope it wouldn’t happen. Tonight, his guard had been down in the worst possible way.Multiple platoons. A full company at least. Probably more hidden beyond the reach of his eyes. The fact that this many salamanders were standing on open sand, in front of lower mortals, told Gildeon they weren’t fucking around about taking Arah at all costs.From the corner of his eye, he saw Yadira and Eitan shoot up from their seats, chairs clattering to the sand. Their shocked gazes snapped from the salamander line straight to him, waiting for orders.“I don’t get it,” Arah murmured beside him, fingers digging into his arm. “I thought the portal was intact.”“I sent Ghulik there days ago to make sure it

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   309 - The Awakening

    GILDEONHe rose as she slowly drifted down from that peak, hands sure on her body.By the time he stood, shrugging out of his clothes, she was still hovering a few inches off the floor, dress hanging in tatters from her shoulders, hair wild and glowing at the edges. It was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.“Arah,” he murmured, almost to himself.He stepped in close, hands catching her hips.She was hot and slick and ready for him, her thighs automatically parting to welcome him. He guided himself to her and pushed in with a low, guttural groan, her tight heat clamping around him like she was made for him and no one else.Her head snapped back, a sharp cry tearing from her throat.He set his feet and drove into her, using his grip on her hips to pull her down onto him, his thrusts deep and steady. Each movement sent another jolt of pleasure and power through his spine. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   308 - On Ice And Fire

    GILDEONSince they reached her studio, they hadn’t stopped kissing. The door had barely slammed shut before he had her pinned against it, mouths crashing, teeth knocking, both of them laughing into the kiss like they were drunk on each other. By the time they stumbled deeper inside, he’d already ripped his glasses off and flung them somewhere toward her worktable. Arah reached back with one hand, fingers finding the small of her skull, and slid the sigil needle free.Her blue curls spilled down in a wild, messy cascade over her shoulders, and something in his chest tightened hard.“The blinds,” she breathed against his mouth.They broke apart just long enough to fumble their way to the windows, hands tangling as they yanked the cords and dragged the blinds down in jerky motions. Outside, the distant noise of the festivity rolled in—music, voices, the muffled promise of fireworks—but in here they didn’t bother with the lights. The studio s
