THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 126: The Night Cael Disappeared
The handle turned halfway before Seraphina raised her sword."Nobody touches that door."Elara stood beside Cael, her fingers wrapped around his arm. She had gone pale, and her attention remained fixed on the wooden handle.Cael shifted his weight away from his injured ankle. "Elara, what does it mean?"She shook her head."You said you never told anyone about that night," Seraphina reminded her. "Tell us what happened."Elara glanced at her brother before answering. "I woke up, and he wasn't beside me. We were sleeping in the same room, and Mother had told us not to leave our beds.""Did you see anyone take him?" the crowned warrior asked."No. I heard something scrape across the floor. Then I heard Cael crying."Cael frowned. "I don't remember crying.""I know." Elara swallowed. "I never saw you. I only recognized your voice."Seraphina kept her sword directed toward the inner door. "What happened next?""I followed the sound. There was a door at the end of the passage. I tried to o
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 125: The Room That Kept His Secrets
The hidden door opened another inch.Seraphina held her position outside the threshold, the Sword of Dawn raised before her. Beyond the opening lay a narrow room with a low bed against the eastern wall, a wooden chair beside it, and a second door at the far end. Scratches surrounded the inner door's handle, cutting through the old wood.The crowned warrior stared at the bed."There should be a window."Seraphina glanced at him. "You remember this room?""I remember morning light falling across a bed. A tree stood outside, close enough for its branches to touch the glass." He frowned. "I don't know whether this is that room."It was the most he had recovered since recognizing the silver clasp. Seraphina wouldn't mistake a fragment for proof, particularly when something beyond the wall had already demonstrated its ability to manipulate memories."Then we don't assume anything," she said.The crowned warrior nodded reluctantly.Aurelith approached but stopped well behind Seraphina. "The
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 124: What the Door Remembered
"Then perhaps it's time you remembered."The woman's words lingered after her laughter stopped.Seraphina kept the child behind her, watching the narrow opening in the western wall. The Sword of Dawn had stopped trembling, but Dusk-born's blade continued to hum, its point angled toward the seam."Nobody approaches that door," Seraphina ordered.The crowned warrior retrieved his fallen sword. He stood beside her, watching the darkness beyond the opening with an expression she couldn't read."That name meant something to you," Seraphina said."Yes.""Then tell me what.""I can't.""Is that because you don't remember, or because you don't want to?"His expression hardened. "I have spent a thousand years trying to separate what I remember from what I have been made to believe. I won't invent an answer simply because you need one."Seraphina held his gaze. She disliked his response, but the creature beyond the Veil had already shown them how easily familiar voices could become weapons. For
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 123: The Door Behind Them
The lock turned again.Seraphina heard it from behind them, somewhere along the western wall. The sound was faint, but unmistakable. She turned with the Sword of Dawn raised, keeping the sealed entrance in front of her in her peripheral vision."Nobody move."The crowned warrior stepped between the child and the sound. Across the chamber, Dusk-born guided Elara and Cael away from the western wall, supporting Cael when his injured ankle nearly gave way.Aurelith stood closest to the noise. "There should be no entrance here.""Your records said the same thing about the other door," Seraphina replied."The original gate was built into the chamber's design. This wall was solid stone."Another click sounded.A thin seam appeared in the western wall, extending from floor to ceiling. Seraphina watched it emerge from the darkness. The ancient markings had once covered the surrounding stone, but their light had vanished when the child dropped its ring. Now, faint grooves were becoming visible
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
