“I saw her control a Nightling!” Kallias continued. “A Nightling who’d killed more innocent lives than we can count. Do you know what you are protecting, Ash?! Tell me you don’t fucking know she was an Aetheria!”

“Is this true?” Theron’s voice shook at the edge.

Tears ran down her cheeks, her chest rising and falling almost too quickly.

“It’s… true… I’m an… Aetheria.”

Theron’s hand loosened around hers, his eyes squinting with confusion and other emotions she couldn’t read.

“That was why I trie

    Theron watched as blood sprayed across Eryndra’s face, trickling down and mixing with her tears. Her eyes remained tightly shut, lips quivering as she clutched his war shirt tightly, expecting pain. Then slowly, her eyes cracked open when she felt nothing. She met his, confusion flashing in her eyes before they flicked to her chest and saw no dagger. Instead, the blade had caused harm to his palm. She looked back at him with shock, a short gasp leaving her lips. “Why?” she whispered. Theron bit his tongue hard, hand trembling around the hilt of the dagger dug into his own palm. He’d asked himself over and over. Why? Why was he going to such lengths for this female in his arms? Why did she consume his mind constantly? Why did it hurt to see her with another male? Why had he smiled and barely had nightmares? Why did he so badly want her by his side? And most of all—despite her carrying the most dangerous rogue blood—why had he stabbed himself instead of her heart? Why did he wan

And I’m sorry.”Theron’s hand remained frozen around hers.The potion had already begun to slow the bleeding, but her skin was still pale, lips stained with blood. Her confession hung between the three of them like a blade suspended in the air.An Aetheria.The blood of Serion.Theron’s golden eyes searched her face, as if looking for any sign that she was lying, that this was another of her deceptions.

    Meanwhile, Eryndra’s hand was firm around Jasmira’s. She couldn’t count the number of dead bodies she ran over. Most of them were servants.The gruesome sight of bodies and blood forced Jasmira to finally stop in her tracks and vomit around the corner. Her shoulders shook violently as sweat trailed down the curve of her cheeks.“Mira…” She reached to hold her, but Jasmira surprisingly yanked her arm away.“What…” Jasmira’s chest heaved. “What in the world am I doing following you?” Her eyes went past Eryndra, landing on the Nightling. “That monster killed a lot. I’ve seen several of my friends… mauled. Devoured. And killed by that monster. So it doesn’t make sense why I am still following it.”“Mira,” Eryndra called softly. “I understand this is insane and cruel, but… I cannot leave you here. Let’s get to safety first.”Jasmira stared long at her and finally opened her mouth to speak, but what came out was a gasp right after a sickening, wrenching sound pierced the air.Eryndra felt s

    The corridor stretched empty. Distant screams and the clash of steel echoed from deeper in the palace, mixed with the low, guttural roars of beasts.Eryndra moved carefully, bare feet silent against the stone.Several footsteps approached with haste and fear.People were running, and it wasn’t long before several servants burst from the end of the corridor.“Monster!”“Run!”They cried as they ran past her. The last one was slow, a deep claw wound designed across his back. He collapsed before he could take another step past her. His body jerked once, and his blood soaked the floor.Then his breathing stopped.Eryndra’s eyes widened as she caught the sight of her own trembling hand. Despite trying to control it, the silver candlestick threatened to fall.Then she heard it.A scream—loud and familiar.She caught the whiff of her scent.“Mira.” She dashed toward the direction, her breath seizing as the scent of blood grew thicker."Mira!"The corridor opened to the scene of Jasmira strug

    Eryndra stared long at the wall as if it would offer her some impossible solace.The world around her no longer made sense, but Theron’s words wouldn’t stop echoing, only shredding her heart even more.He feared she would be killed by the rogues.But she was an Aetheria.Her presence here would only make things worst for both of them.If he really cared so much about her, then he would regret it soon enough.Kallias was already suspicious of her.If he or anyone else found out about what her Aetheria blood could really do, then she would spend the rest of her life locked away.Perhaps this was the life the moon goddess had chosen for her.Perhaps there was no freedom.If only she had accepted this sooner.Zarin wouldn’t have…Eryndra curled herself tighter on the bed, her tears soaking the sheet.Should she just expose herself in court and take a swift death?No.She wouldn’t bear it if Theron’s name got ruined because of her.Perhaps she could tell everyone he didn’t know about it.

    THERON It’s crazy how a single female could so easily turn a male like him into disarray. Into an unending turmoil with no space to breathe—except when she was near and smiling at him. All this in the span of six fucking months. Or perhaps seven, if he added the month he’d spent searching for her. Theron didn’t know how long he’d been staring at Eryndra. He hadn’t imagined he would sit here counting her lashes and how many freckles she had on her cheek. “She will wake up soon, MiLord,” the healer said and left without getting a reply. Theron’s hands were locked against each other. His mind drifted to what she’d said to him. Her claims about Kallias. Was there something he was missing? Was he wrong when he thought she hadn’t broken? His gaze settled on her neck. He stared long at it. A fated mate bond snaps right back if the rejector marks them willingly. Why was he thinking of this? A slight movement of her lashes broke his thoughts. A soft moan followed. Eryndra shifted o
