Arsel

The scare changed everything in an instant.

The almost unreal peace of our idyllic days vanished in seconds, and what had been complete calm turned into a frenzy of anguish.

The distant howl grew more desperate, more intense, and Arsel’s entire body tensed. I felt the echo of that sound reverberating within the bond like a wave of anguish crashing against the shore.

“We have to go back immediately!” I said, real fear seeping into my veins like poison.

Fifteen minutes later, we rushed out.

    ElaineI woke up with a strange sensation in my body; something was pulling me hard, so I got up carefully and shook my head. Arsel wasn’t beside me, so I figured he was still with his sisters, and I smiled.So I decided to head to the kitchen, walking calmly toward the stairs, when a conversation disrupted the peace and the bed shattered into a thousand pieces, but it was Arsel’s scream that pierced the entire house like a bolt of lightning.I’d left the room thinking I’d go downstairs to get a cup of tea when I heard the chaos erupt on the ground floor.Something inside me screamed so loudly that I couldn’t hold back, and then I realized that what had woken me up was, in fact, the bond between us, perhaps Leo pulling at me.I didn’t think twice; I ran down the stairs.My heart raced when I found the whole family gathered around a figure slumped on the floor.Selene.My heart stopped for a moment when I realized her body lay motionless in her husband’s arms. Izan was completely devas

    ArselWhen dinner was over, the family scattered throughout the house.Elaine excused herself to go up to her room for a moment, claiming she was tired, though I knew, through our bond, that she also needed a moment alone to process the day.I waited half an hour before going up after her.I found her by the window, with moonlight streaming in in silvery streaks across the floor, gazing out at the dark forest with her arms crossed over her chest.I didn’t interrupt her right away.I leaned against the doorframe and watched her for a moment, the way she stood so straight even when something weighed on her inside, that stillness I’d learned to read as one of her ways of processing the world.“I know you’re there,” she said without turning around, a barely perceptible smile in her voice.“The bond?” I asked, stepping closer.

    ArselCalming Elaine had been a challenge.She had been a source of great calm for me over the past few days, she’d been my anchor, but seeing her distraught over the possibility that she might not be just a human was difficult.She took it all in stride, but with a stoicism that worried me.I let her sleep and got up to go to the kitchen, where I found my father already awake, holding a cup of coffee and staring blankly out the window. He hugged me as soon as he saw me, a tight hug, without saying a word for several seconds, and I let him hold me for a moment before straightening up again.“How are you?” he asked, looking me in the eyes as if he could read directly what lay beneath my skin.“Standing,” I replied, because it was the only honest thing I had to say that morning.I couldn’t lie to either him or my mother.He nodded without pressing further.Tris came down the stairs rubbing her eyes, and as soon as she saw me, she ran toward me without a care in the world, as if she were

    ElaineThe meeting with Bless took place at dawn, as Arsel had requested.This time it wasn’t in the map room or the sanctuary.It was in the mansion’s inner garden, the one in the east wing that I had barely explored because I was always busy with the warriors during morning training.Bless arrived alone, without Nora or Pía.That told me something about the nature of the conversation before it even began.Selene and Izan were there. Amelie was there too, with dark circles under her eyes that showed she hadn’t slept. Kiel arrived with a folder, which he placed on the stone table in the garden without saying a word.I sat down next to Arsel, and he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye once—just once—with a question in his eyes, and I nodded slightly to let him know I was okay. I thought I could handle this.He turned his attention back to the table, and he was the one who spoke first.“I need everything I say here to be treated as top-level confidential information,” he said, lo

    ElaineI didn’t sleep that night.I didn’t even try.After Arsel and I left the sanctuary and returned home, I went to our bedroom and sat by the window with a cup of tea that Selene had left for me on the nightstand in the hallway without saying a word; I just sat there, as if she knew I was going to need it.Arsel stayed downstairs working.I could sense him on high alert through the bond, with that focused energy he had when something demanded his full attention. It wasn’t anxiety. It was precision. And that difference, which had taken me weeks to learn to distinguish, was one of the things that reassured me most about him, because it meant he wasn’t reacting but calculating.I, on the other hand, couldn’t calculate anything.I was too busy trying to keep the memories at bay.Because the memories kept coming.Not as jarring images this time, but like water that finds a crack in a dam and keeps seeping through, even though no one has opened any floodgates.I stared out the window at

    ElaineAmelie arrived in ten minutes.She looked first at me, then at Arsel, and without saying a word, she sat down across the table and waited.I told her everything from the beginning.The two memories. When I finished, Amelie didn’t respond right away.She stared at the stone surface of the table for a moment I couldn’t quite gauge.“The bracelet you describe is an identification mark,” she said finally. “The Supreme Hunters used them to recognize one another in human spaces. They aren’t decorative. They’re enchanted to be invisible to the supernatural, but visible to anyone who carries their blood.”The silence that followed was heavy.“Does that mean I carry their blood?” I asked in a voice that didn’t quite come out right.“It means that woman wanted you to see it,” Amelie said carefully. “She wanted you to see it and remember it. And at that moment, you didn’t have the context to understand what it meant.”Arsel spoke from across the table.“What kind of gift would a woman ha

    ElaineWaking up was not a triumphant return to the light.It was quite the opposite.A complete, agonizing ascent through layers of gray, sticky mud that were choking me with force. My senses returned in jumbled fragments: first, the sharp smell of antiseptic and dried lavender; then, a rhythmic,

    ArselWatching Elina break down completely shattered me.It was as if a nightmare straight out of hell had come true.The scream of pure terror coming from her mouth evoked every single one of my fears; without hesitation, without pause, panic was unleashed like pheromones in a full frenzy.Elina w

    ElaineAfter the confrontation with Dania in town and the emptiness her words had left in my chest, I took refuge in my room as if hiding in a trench.I buried myself in the sheets, searching for a warmth that never came.When sleep

    ElaineThe morning dawned warm, but my mind was a whirlwind of confusion.The dream of the silver woman continued to reverberate within my mind like the echo of a distant bell, and the image of Arsel sleeping beside me, like a silent guardian against my nightmares, gave me a warmth that almost mana
