THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 114: The Child Beneath the Door
“Mother?”The child's voice rose from beneath the kingdom, faint but clear enough to carry through the shattered chamber. Seraphina held Cael against her side, feeling his fingers bunch the fabric of her sleeve, while Elara stood close to her other shoulder. Crimson light from the crossed swords washed over their faces, then faded as the blades trembled in front of the woman waiting beyond the broken archway.The woman wearing Seraphina's face had stopped smiling.“Why did you leave me?” the child asked.Cael pressed closer to Seraphina. “Who is that?”She had no answer. The voice sounded too young to belong to the presence that had spoken from the abyss, but its grief was unmistakable. Seraphina knew the sound of a child calling for someone who had promised to return. She had heard it in nightmares, and she had heard it in her own children's voices when fear made them forget how brave they were supposed to be.Across the chamber, the woman retreated a step. “No.”The word barely carr
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 113: The Voice That knows Their Name
“Now,” the voice said, “we can begin.”Dawn jerked in Seraphina's hand.She caught the hilt with both hands as the blade dragged her toward the abyss, its edge scraping across the stone. Across the chamber, Dusk-born struggled to keep the Sword of Dusk pointed away from the opening. The weapons had never pulled against their bearers with such force.“Get the children behind the archway!” Seraphina shouted.The crowned warrior seized Cael's arm and drew him toward the exit. Elara followed, but after three steps, she stopped.“Mother?”Seraphina couldn't answer. Dawn was dragging her forward, and each time she resisted, the heat beneath her palms grew worse. The sword no longer answered to her strength. Something below had taken hold of it.“Keep moving!” Aurelith ordered.Elara looked back toward her mother. Her fingers closed around Cael's hand, but she wouldn't follow when he tried to pull her away.“It's calling us.”The silver light beneath the stone shifted toward her.“Yes, littl
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 112: The Thing It Fears
The movement beneath the kingdom stopped.Seraphina stood several paces from the broken edge of the abyss, Dawn in her right hand and Elara pressed against her left side. Cael stood just behind them, close enough for Seraphina to catch his sleeve if he tried to move. Across the chamber, the blank-faced creature had backed against the far wall, well beyond the broken archway through which the others would have to retreat. One hand rested against the stone behind it. Its head remained turned toward the darkness.Seraphina had watched the creature endure attacks without flinching. It had worn familiar faces, spoken with borrowed voices, and treated the terror of everyone around it as an inconvenience. Now it seemed to need the wall to keep itself standing.“What is that thing?” the crowned warrior demanded.The creature ignored him.He shifted his grip on his weapon. “I'm speaking to you.”The creature turned its head a fraction.“Be quiet.”The crowned warrior fell silent.Seraphina dre
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 111: The Door Beneath
The floor split beneath them.Seraphina barely had time to grab Cael and Elara before the stone collapsed. She dragged both children toward her as Dusk-born caught Elara around the waist and pulled her clear. The crowned warrior seized Cael by the shoulder and hauled him backward.Then the floor gave way.Ancient stone broke loose beneath their feet.One piece fell.Seraphina watched it disappear.She waited for the impact.Nothing.Another chunk dropped into the blackness.Nothing.A third followed.Still nothing.No crash.No echo.Not even the faint scrape of stone striking stone.The darkness simply swallowed everything that entered it.Seraphina stood frozen, staring into the opening. Her skin prickled beneath her clothes.That was not a pit.Something was wrong with the space beneath them.“Back!” Aurelith shouted.Everyone moved.Everyone except the blank-faced creature.It stood at the edge of the opening, perfectly still.For several seconds, it didn't look at them.It looked
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 110: Open
“Open.”The word came from beneath Seraphina’s feet.She stopped breathing for a moment.A black seam ran through the stone between her boots, thin enough to have passed for an old fracture. Now the edges were shifting. Stone scraped against stone as the gap widened, and a stream of cold air slipped through it, carrying the smell of wet earth, rust, and something metallic that stung the back of her throat.Cael found her hand.His fingers were cold and damp.“Mother.”Across from them, Elara reached toward her from Dusk-born’s side.Seraphina looked down at both children.The crown-shaped mark beneath Cael’s eye was burning gold. Elara’s mark shone silver, the light bright enough to catch along the dampness beneath her lashes.Neither child understood what was happening, but both were staring at the floor.The marks pulsed.Gold.Silver.Then both flared together.Aurelith stepped backward.It was barely a step, but Seraphina noticed.The ancient Queen had stood against the creature w
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 109: The Voice Beneath
“Enough.”The word rolled through the chamber again.Seraphina stopped breathing.It had come from beneath her feet, but the voice was hers. Not an echo. Not a resemblance distorted by ancient stone. It carried the same cadence, the same quiet edge she heard whenever she spoke to herself in the dark.The creature heard it too.Its head snapped toward the floor.Above Elara and Cael, Dawn and Dusk trembled in the crimson light.Then the buried kingdom seemed to draw breath.Seraphina felt the movement through the soles of her boots. The stone beneath her shifted by a fraction, released a low groan, then settled again. Dust sifted from the ceiling.Dusk-born pushed herself away from the pillar. Blood marked the corner of her mouth as she reached for the Sword of Dusk.“Seraphina,” she said, “those blades aren't listening to you.”Seraphina looked up at the crossed swords.“I know.”“No.” Dusk-born steadied herself against the wall. “You don't.”The silver-eyed woman hadn't moved.Her ga
