Elara’s POV~

It was a still night, the sort of still night that makes the world feel so stuffy for you. Without uttering a word to anyone, I left the house and held the flower crown I had made nervously. Petals, the pale lavender ones, with the white centers and the gold dust. It was so frail and so fragile, like the life that had died too soon.

The sacred tree stood large before them with its branches stretching towards the heavens. I stepped little by little towards the pile of dirt below, the earth that held Jasmine’s baby. I felt my chest tighten as I saw it. I got down on my knees, feeling the dampness of the earth coming through my skirt, and placed the crown softly on the grave.

I left my hands there, touching the earth, and spreading my fingers into it. I closed my eyes, inhaled, and then the words poured out of me.

“Baby,” I said, my voice breaking, “I don’t even know if you can hear me, but I hope you can. I had this crown made for you because Jasmine would’ve wanted you to h

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty One

    Damien’s POV~The cool night air was freezing my lungs even as I took off. Broken branches swept at my arms, the ground slipped beneath my feet, yet no velocity was enough to escape from the anger brewing in me. Lyra’s whining and crying still reverberated in my skull, her accusations and the venom of her words. My wolf snapped, agitated for blood.I punched a tree trunk. My knuckles split open, crackled as I pounded the door, but the pain didn't even quiet him down. Another punch. Another. Until the wood snapped, and my hands were leaking red. My breaths were ragged, stained with rage.You should’ve killed her when you had the chance, my wolf snarled, pacing inside me like a caged animal. She reeks of death. She reeks of betrayal.I banged my head against the tree. “I’m being fucking torn in half,” I moaned, wiping blood from my palms on the grass. “And she’s still getting away from me.”I made my way back to the house, my feet heavy and raw, my hands red and pulsing. But then, her s

    Lyra’s POV~I was in Elara’s room to play the doting sister once more, taking my seat by her bed and acting like I gave a damn. But when I pushed open her door, it was empty.I frowned. “Where is she?” I asked the maid who was arranging the folded sheets in the hall.“My lady, she went away, but now,” the girl replied with a bow of her head. “A parcel came for her. The elders summoned her to the council.”The words hit me like a slap. My pulse raced. The elders. Elara. Once again, she was being observed, summoned, and appreciated. I shut my jaw and stormed out without further reply.I drove to the council hall as though fury and fire were coursing through my veins. I grabbed for the wheel so hard that my nails tore parts of the leather. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw her face. Elara and her depressive eyes that made everyone pity her, Elara with that strange, breakable dignity of hers that sucked in loyalty like fire pulls moths. She could be still and silent and still be loved. An

    Elara’s POV~I had assured her that I would be safe. The words tumbled from my mouth, despite the fact that I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep to them. As I led my mother back to her room, her body heavy with fatigue and mourning, I felt her hand shake.“Just lie back, Mother,” I whispered, assisting her in sitting as straight as she could at the side of her bed.She ran her fingers over my face, and her eyes were dulled with weariness. “You talk just like him when you say that,” she muttered. “Always telling me to relax when he was the one dying under all of the pressure.”The dull pain in my heart deepened. I tried to smile for her. “Then perhaps I learned from the best.”“You were always stubborn, Elara. Already as a child, once you made up your mind about something, no one could stop you, not even your father.”“Guess that didn’t change,” I said, holding her hand with both of mine.She looked at me in silence for what seemed like forever, like she was trying to commit my face t

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Two Hundred and Eighteen

    Damien’s POV~I came out of the woods with splinters buried in my knuckles and blood coming out of my palms. The Seer’s words kept on disturbing me.My chest burned. I took my phone out of my pocket with trembling hands and dialed her number. Lyra’s number. I called once. Twice and then again. But there was no answer."Pick up, God damn you," I snarled, my voice low and menacing. My wolf snapped inside me, restless. She's fleeing from you because she knows. Because she’s guilty.Whatever little control I had left me vanished. I yanked my car door open and slammed my way inside, pushing the key into ignition with a backhanded slap that nearly snapped the key. The engine revved, and I hit the gas.The tires screeched against the road as I sped down the deserted street, shadows ripping past my windows. I could see a series of colored lights from my rearview mirror.“Shit.”I flinched, but didn’t let up. The siren fired nearer, with a cop driving alongside me, gesturing for me to pull ove

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Two Hundred and Seventeen

    Elara’s POV~The nights were getting heavier in this house; each night that passed felt worse than the previous one. I could feel it in the walls, in the floors, and in the empty corridors. I had this horrible feeling that my father’s life was draining away, grain by grain, and that we might end up being unsuccessful.I couldn’t just keep on standing still.I knew that each time I saw his chest moving up and down, my resilience would melt away. I thought to myself that if the goddess had given me this second chance, it wasn’t to cry and weep. It was to act.So I began to prepare.During the days, I sat attentively by his side, running cool cloths over his brow, murmuring low words, replying to the elders with silence whenever they gathered around him like vultures. But at night, I planned my escape, with my cloak pulled closely about me. I’d collected what I’d been able to remember from my grandmother’s lessons: a root that would soothe hunger, an herb that would fight a fever, and ba

  • Mate Rebound    Chapter Two hundred and Sixteen

    Damien’s POV~Sleep had long abandoned me. I could close my eyes, and it was only Elara’s tear-streaked, tired face that I could see.I had stayed silent too long. Each time I tried to speak, Lyra’s threat tightened around my throat. “If you tell her the truth, she dies.” I had been tied down by that fear, but tonight I was fed up.I couldn’t take that silence any longer. I needed answers. I wanted to hear what Lyra had actually done.So I ended up outside her room. The halls were silent, the lanterns dim. I leaned against the wall, biding my time and listening. When I heard no noise from inside, I stepped in.Her room had the faint scent of rose oil, but an acrid smell was part of it. I ransacked a little, opened drawers, checked her table. All I found were papers, ribbons, and a half-burned candle. Nothing. I was about to mutter a curse and turn my back when I heard the soft scuffing of her sandals in the hall.My wolf snarled, warning me, Hide! And I jumped under the bed right when
