ARAH

Her head felt foggy, but his words cut through the haze. ‘Do I love him?’ The question echoed in her mind.

“I wouldn’t have married him if I didn’t, right?” she replied with a forced grin, reaching for the bottle and taking a quick, desperate gulp.

“I’m asking about how you feel now,” Jeric said, his tone serious.

Arah froze mid-sip, her eyes dropping to her wedding ring. She set the bottle down, her thumb brushing over the smooth gold band. It felt like both a lifeline and a shackle. She’d been so focused on making her marriage work that she hadn’t considered how she truly felt about Gildeon.

Confusion washed over her like an icy wave. Without the memories of how they used to be, without knowing the real him, without that deep connection...

How could she even know?

She was deeply attracted to Gildeon, obsessed with the way he carried himself with quiet confidence. Being next to him made her feel like she could brag about him all day. His every touch made her feel alive and crave

  • 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

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   211 - His Child

    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.“You want some wine, Professor?” Lexi asked as she walked toward the kitchen. “Just for you, though. I can only have some juice—”“I’m not here for a social call, Lexi,” he cut in, not even bothering to sit down. “Tell me the truth. That child can’t be mine.”“Straight to business again, huh?” 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

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   210 - Give Her Space

    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.“I’m going with her to the hospital,” Arah said, avoiding his gaze. “I had to move her out of the way earlier. I just want to make sure her baby’s okay.”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.“I’ll pick you up at the hospital later,” 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. They could

    GILDEONEarlier, he’d set fires in the surrounding buildings—just enough to keep the firefighters and the police busy. He needed to buy time, delay their full sweep of the campus.He’d made sure the security room got the worst of it. The last thing he needed was footage of him and Arah showing up on some CCTV feed.Then he’d had Ghulik cornered in the gym. Tried to force him to stand down, to rebind the companion link.He’d almost had him, until the bastard flipped it on him.Gildeon had let his guard down, forgotten that goblins always had something up their sleeve—especially when they were off the leash. Ghulik had absorbed his salamander venom, warped it into something of his own, and blindsided him.The goblin had driven a claw straight into the back of his neck. Gildeon was paralyzed for a few minutes while Ghulik slipped off to find another victim.Damn good thing Gildeon had tracked him down again, just in time
