Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Sixty Two
Damien's POV~I perceived the smell of blood before I got to see it. It had a metallic, sharp, and too familiar smell. It wheezed anger into my lungs, pulling me back to recall the years I wanted to leave behind. Back to the bridge, the shortcut cut and the nights when fear was answered only with killing quickly. But this time it wasn’t some faceless enemy.It was Elara.She lay twisted in the centre of the courtyard, one hand hanging slack beneath her, the other scored with smoke. Her shard glimmered with a dark, soft light at the point it touched her skin, flinching beneath her touch as if trying to struggle to answer, but it could not—like a heart skipping too many beats.And standing over her was a girl. No older than ten. She had pale hair. Obsidian glass eyes shattered at the corners. She wasn’t breathing. Not like a child should. Her breathing was too steady. Too slow. Her skin glowed slightly as though her body were not quite her own. And around her neck was a shard.Not Elara
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Sixty One
Jasmine’s POV~What struck me initially was the sky. It hung below me, not above. A spiraling of stars, spreading away under my feet like a mirror folded inside out. The ground was spongy, but when I peered at it, I could see threads of rune glowing softly beneath the earth-like veins beneath the skin. This wasn’t a place. It was an idea. A memory.I stood and turned slowly, scared of breathing too hard. The silence here wasn’t empty. It was thick. Holding its breath. Then I saw him. A shape loomed a few paces ahead, towering and motionless, enshrouded in shadows. He was like a man — but not quite. His arms are too long, his eyes are too pale. There were no runes on his skin. They floated around him. Orbiting like moons. Runes I didn’t recognize. And beside him…The wolf. Its eyes bore into mine the instant I laid eyes on it. “Jasmine Vale,” the man said.My throat tightened. “Kaelen?” The figure nodded once. “Last of the first. Born of the source. Unmade by betrayal.”“And you’re awa
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Sixty
Jasmine’s POV~The portal sparked with golden lightning, and light arched down to the broken floor. The figure was right across, but it did not step across. Not yet. Her robes were the color of parchment, with symbols stitched into the edges that I couldn’t read. She had her hair braided to her scalp, and golden eyes hardened, ageless. “You brought the key,” she said once more.I didn’t speak. No one did. The children, even, who had been weapons mere moments ago, were fixed to the stone. Elara moved to me, cowering by my side, the shard still glowing dully upon her collarbone.“Who are you?” she asked carefully.The woman tilted her head. “A warden. Of a different kind.”Damien frowned. “Does that mean something to us?”“No,” she said simply. “But what you are is something to me.” Now she moved forward, one foot beyond the gateway. The magic didn’t react. If anything, it was wider, inviting her.“You have activated the final deterrent of the crown. The Vault was always more than a roo
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Fifty Nine
Elara’s POV~I hadn’t known I was bleeding until I looked down and saw the smear across my palm. The edge of the wall rune had cut me as we’d fallen. But I didn’t feel it. I felt nothing but Caspian’s yell.“Get him back!” Jasmine called out, pushing against the spinning children. “He’s not one of them!”But they weren’t listening. The boy who pinned Caspian to the ground held a sharp object, a rune blade, black with lines of burnt runes on either side. She wasn’t older than ten. But her eyes were calm. Still. As if Vira had sucked the terror out of her and replaced it with submission. Lyra jerked herself forward, but the floor twisted — tiles bending themselves into shapes, ancient arrows flaring to life. Her magic sizzled harmlessly at the child.“She’s under manipulation,” Lyra snarled. “The stones are talking to her now.”“Then we tear them up,” Damien spat out. He pulled his sword, splitting the runes, thus loosening the grip of the trap. I groaned wearily, having barely regained
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Fifty Eight
Jasmine’s POV~The countdown was there on the wall, glowing. Seventy-two hours. Now sixty-seven. Then sixty-one. Time folded back on itself with each breath, and I couldn’t stop watching it, as if keeping my eyes on it would slow it down. But numbers never listened. Not to be blood. Not to fear. Not even to regret.She would do it, I told myself, standing alone outside the Archive on its cold stone balcony. “She is going to take everything that we buried, and one way or another, she is going to crown it.” The stone doors groaned open behind me. I didn’t need to see who it was.Caspian smelled like moody pine. “You haven't slept,” he said kindly.“I’ve been talking to myself. That usually comes first.” He didn’t laugh. He joined me, propping his elbows on the balcony rail. “We’ll stop her.”“How?” I turned to him. “You saw what she is now. She’s not just me anymore. She is made of everything I hated — my rage, my confusion, my abandonment — and she’s turned that into her power. I gave
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Fifty Seven
Elara's POV~ The door was stone.Plain with no runes.No glamour.No protection circle. And that was why it was so terrifying. The Warden pushed the door open, himself, like some unspoken order, and beckoned me through his hand—the aemself’s black-veined hand.“She’s in there?” I asked. “What’s left,” he replied, his voice like falling snow, light but laden with quiet underneath. I took one breath and then walked through. The room wasn’t a room. It was a mirror. Not glass—reflected memory. The walls pulsed with images, twinkling as if frames of a filmstrip laced with pain.Immediately, as I entered, the shard in my chest started burning again. And then I saw her. Jasmine. Bound to a chair of bone and light, her head hanging. Runes danced along her skin. Some glowed. Some flickered. Some were cracked.“Jasmine,” I breathed. She didn’t move but one of the mirrors rippled next to me. It showed an image of her, standing in a field, young, smiling, holding Caspian’s hand. Another flash.
