Chapter 12: No More Restraint

Author: Mystique Luna
last update publish date: 2026-09-14 19:55:03

I read the same sentence five times before admitting that Faolan's stare had become more distracting than Father's lies. I kept my gaze fixed upon the diary before I spoke. "You cannot even pretend to hide your excitement, Faolan."

His mouth curved. "You always knew what I wanted, little tyrant."

"You were never subtle."

"I never needed to be with you."

I turned another page. "Wanting something does not mean you will receive it."

"No." His amber eyes lowered toward my nightdress. "But you haven

    FAOLANI froze."Euphyllia possessed a fated mate in every life," he continued. "I loved her while she stood beside them.""You remained near her?""When she permitted it. When she did not, I loved her from a distance.""You expected nothing?""I wanted her happiness. If any one of those males had cherished her as she deserved, I would have buried my feelings and been grateful that she was safe.""That sounds unbearable.""Watching her suffer was unbearable. Loving her was not."The simplicity of his answer unsettled me."You did not resent her for choosing them?""For trusting the bond the Moon Goddess gave her?" Lucretius shook his head. "No.""But they betrayed her.""And each time, I remembered too late to prevent it." His jaw tightened. "This life was the first in which I reached Euphyllia before death took the choice from her.""And she chose you."Warmth entered his gaze. "She did.""Because you waited?""Love is not a debt accumulated through patience, Faolan. This life did no

    FAOLANPandora touched my cheek.I covered her hand with mine and pressed my lips against the center of her palm.I had prepared something irritating to say. Something that would make her narrow her eyes and threaten to remove a part of my body to which I remained rather attached.The words never came.Fear had settled too deeply inside her expression."When the bond disappears, do not listen to the silence," I murmured.Her thumb moved across my cheek. "What is that supposed to mean?""It will attempt to convince you that I have vanished.""I know you will be behind one door.""You know it here." I tapped one finger lightly against her temple. Then I lowered our joined hands between us. "Your body may not."Pandora's fingers tightened around mine."I will still be alive," I continued. "I will still be irritating Rachelle. I will still be wondering whether you are standing outside planning to break down the door.""I would not break it.""Of course not. You would remove it from the wa

    ASTERION"A bond can keep someone near you," he said. "So can fear. Authority. A locked door. None of those things mean the person remained.""What made Rachelle remain?""I stopped trying to make the decision for her."Rachelle's hand moved toward his before stopping on the arm of her chair. The distance between them could have been crossed easily.Neither crossed it for the other.Choice existed even in something that small."You have heard your witness," Rachelle said. "Now answer without him."I faced her again."What if I sever the bond and Pandora chooses Faolan but not you?"My wolf snarled.Frost spread across the floor in a violent circle.Neither reaction changed the truth."Then she chooses Faolan.""And what will you do?""I do not know.""That is not enough.""I will grieve." My voice hardened. "I may require distance from both of them. But I will not punish either for a truth I asked to uncover.""What if she chooses you but not Faolan?"The possibility offered no relief

    ASTERIONThe door closed.Pandora vanished.Not her body. Not her scent lingering upon my skin. Not the memory of her lips against mine.The place inside me where she had existed became silent.My wolf struck against my ribs.I reached for the door."She is alive," Claude said.My fingers stopped above the handle."I know.""Your body does not."I looked at the Alpha King.He had not moved to restrain me. He stood several steps away with his hands visible and his posture relaxed, as though he understood that touching me now would be interpreted as an attack.He was correct.Beyond the door, Pandora waited with Faolan, Euphyllia, and Lucretius. No enemy had entered the solar. No battlefield separated us. Rachelle's veil had silenced the bond without harming the woman connected to it.Facts.I arranged them inside my mind until instinct stopped insisting I break through stone to find her."If you cannot endure a temporary silence," Rachelle said, "you are not prepared for permanent seve

    Anger rose hot and immediate. "You claimed the choice was mine.""It is. But I will not accept consent born from a desire to harm yourself. Punishment is another form of coercion when guilt delivers the command."The words struck somewhere unprotected."Part of me believes losing them would be repayment," I admitted.Rachelle's face remained unreadable."Is that part making this decision?""No.""How do you know?""Because I do not want to lose them."The truth left before pride could stop it.Euphyllia's thumb moved over my hand.Rachelle leaned back slightly. "If the bond disappears and they no longer want you, what will you do?""Let them go."My voice nearly broke.I hated that both sisters heard it."And if you no longer want them?"The silence became heavier."Tell them the truth.""Would you remain because you owed them?""No.""Would you ask them to remain because they once promised?""No.""If one of them refuses the severing?""Then nothing is severed.""Would you resent him

    Rachelle looked at the hand I offered but did not immediately take it."Before we begin, there are rules.""Naturally.""You say that as if rules offend you.""Only when someone else creates them."Faolan made a sound that might have become laughter if Asterion had not glanced at him.Rachelle's mouth threatened to curve before solemnity reclaimed her expression. "Each interview will remain private from the other members of your bond. I will ask questions. You will answer without consulting either mate or considering what you believe they want to hear.""You said we would speak separately.""Separately does not mean without a witness." She gestured toward Euphyllia. "You may choose someone who possesses no part of the bond. The witness will ensure that I neither influence your answer nor misrepresent it afterward."Euphyllia stepped forward, but she did not assume I would select her."Who do you want?" Rachelle asked.My attention moved across the court.Claude had lived through the r
