THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 122: What Happened After the Door Closed
The child had stopped crying.That frightened Seraphina more than the voice beyond the door.A moment earlier, the child had been shaking beside the crowned warrior, struggling to explain memories that seemed to belong to someone else. Now it stood perfectly still. Seraphina could not see its face, but she heard the uneven breaths it was trying to control."What happened after the door closed?" she asked.The child said nothing.The crowned warrior shifted beside it. "You don't have to answer if you cannot remember."A knock sounded beyond the door.The child flinched, and the warrior moved between it and the sound."Don't speak to it," Seraphina warned. "Whatever is on the other side wants you frightened enough to say something without thinking.""You're wrong," the voice replied in Seraphina's tone. "I want the child to remember."She tightened her grip on the Sword of Dawn. The blade remained dark, but its weight was familiar against her palm."Then why hide behind a sealed door?"
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 121: The Choice It Wanted
The laughter continued in the darkness.Seraphina could no longer see the markings beneath her feet, the doorway ahead, or the child who had dropped the ring. She could still hear the sound coming from beyond the sealed entrance, though. It was quiet, almost amused, and carried the child's voice with a familiarity that made her stomach tighten.Something shifted beside her."Nobody moves," she said.Her command came out sharper than she intended. She heard Cael draw a strained breath, followed by the soft scrape of a boot against stone. His injured ankle would not support him for long, and whatever waited beyond the door had chosen this moment to strip the chamber of its light."Cael?" Elara called."I'm here.""Stay where you are.""I wasn't planning to run."His attempt at reassurance sounded thin, but he was still speaking. Seraphina held on to that small certainty while she extended the Sword of Dawn in front of her. Its familiar weight rested in her hand. The blade had not gone c

The ring flared in the child's hand.Seraphina felt the change through the Sword of Dawn before she saw it. Heat traveled along the blade, and across the chamber, Dusk-born's sword answered with a sharp metallic note. The ancient markings surrounding the abyss brightened, revealing the outline of a door beneath their feet.The crowned warrior stared into the darkness."You already did."The voice had been his, but it had come from somewhere beneath the kingdom. He looked at the child, searching its indistinct face for an explanation."Who is speaking?"The child closed its fingers around the ring. "You know.""No. I don't.""You did when you left me."The warrior recoiled. Seraphina watched him struggle with the accusation. He had admitted remembering the night the Veil closed, but he had never claimed to understand everything that happened that night. Whatever the child represented, he seemed to be confronting a missing piece of his past.The silver-eyed woman moved between the child
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 119: The Child He Left Behind
The sword struck the stone.The crowned warrior stared at the fallen weapon, his fingers still curled as though he could feel its weight. A moment earlier, he had whispered a name Seraphina had never heard. Now he looked at the child as if something buried deep within his memory had begun to surface."You remember," the child said.The warrior swallowed. "How old were you when the door closed?"Aurelith turned toward him."I don't know," the child replied. "I was little. You told me I was too young to understand."The warrior flinched.Seraphina noticed the reaction but refused to treat it as proof. The entity beneath the kingdom had already demonstrated its ability to manipulate memories and familiar voices. Whatever the warrior recognized, it could still be a trap."What did I tell you?" he asked."That you would come back."He closed his eyes briefly."Did your mother send you here?""She said you would return for me."The warrior's face tightened. "Veyra never told me there was an
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 118: The Name Behind the Door
The sound came from beneath the floor.Three knocks, measured and deliberate.Seraphina stood with one hand wrapped around Elara's wrist and the other gripping the Sword of Dawn. Across the fractured chamber, Dusk-born held her blade toward the abyss. The two swords had stopped fighting the crimson thread connecting Elara and Cael, but neither had settled. Their edges trembled whenever the child below moved.The crowned warrior remained beside Seraphina, his sword angled toward the opening. His attention had shifted from the faceless creature to the darkness beneath it.He was afraid.Seraphina had seen him face things that would have sent trained soldiers running. He had never shown fear so plainly.Another knock sounded.The creature clinging to the edge of the abyss jerked backward. Its fingers dug into the stone, leaving narrow grooves in the surface. It had been reaching for Cael only moments earlier. Now it seemed desperate to put as much distance as possible between itself and
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 117: What the Door Remembered
The sound of a lock turning came from beneath their feet.Seraphina felt the vibration through the soles of her boots. It traveled up her legs and settled in her teeth, followed by a grinding noise that seemed to come from somewhere deep beneath the buried kingdom. Dust sifted from the ceiling. Beyond the broken archway, stone scraped against stone as an ancient mechanism stirred after centuries of stillness.Cael clutched Elara's hand.“Mother, what was that?”Seraphina watched the abyss. The faceless creature had stopped moving, its long fingers curled over the broken edge. Beneath it, the small hand had disappeared into the darkness, but red light still seeped through the cracks in the stone. The glow spread in thin veins across the floor, branching toward the walls.Aurelith caught Seraphina's arm. “Get the children away from the edge.”“I need to know what we've opened.”“You can find out somewhere that isn't collapsing.”Another crack split the floor between them.
