THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 34: The Other Seraphina
Pain split through my skull with such force that the Hall lurched out of focus.The Sword of Dawn throbbed in my hand, its low hum vibrating through my arm and into my chest. I dropped to one knee as memories crashed over me in a relentless tide. None of them belonged to me—or at least they shouldn't have. Faces I'd never seen twisted with grief and triumph. I remembered battles I'd never fought, wounds I'd never suffered, promises I'd never made. Names I didn't recognize carried the weight of lifelong friendships, and every borrowed memory settled inside me with terrifying familiarity.Then the torrent stopped.Silence rushed in, pressing against my ears until I could hear my own ragged breathing.When I forced myself to my feet, the woman across the chamber hadn't moved. She stood beneath the crimson glow as though she'd been waiting for centuries, watching me with an unreadable calm that unsettled me far more than open hostility would have.For a heartbeat, my mind refused to accep

No one moved.The Hall seemed to contract around Selene as she stood beneath the fractured gate, one hand resting lightly on her crystal spear. Behind her, thousands of soldiers waited in disciplined silence. Not a single banner stirred. Not a single shield shifted. They stood like statues carved from the mountain's depths, their crimson-and-black standards rising above them like a forest of iron pikes.Her final words hung heavily in the air.I've spent the last twenty years waiting to kill the final Dragon Queen.The Dragon Mark burned beneath my sleeve. Not with pain this time, but with a sharp, undeniable recognition. Heat spread steadily through my forearm until the Sword of Dawn answered with a low vibration, its blade humming softly in my grasp.Selene noticed. A faint, razor-thin smile touched her lips. "So it recognizes me too."I tightened my grip on the hilt. "We've never met.""No," she said, her mismatched eyes locked on mine. "But your blood remembers."A quiet,
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 32: The Last King
Silence settled over the Hall.Not the peaceful silence of a place at rest, but the suffocating stillness that followed a truth too large to ignore. The mountain continued to groan around us, ancient stone protesting under the force of repeated impacts beyond the sealed gates, yet none of us spoke.I stood frozen, the Sword of Dawn still gripped in my hand, unable to look away from Lyra and Caelan.Husband and wife.The words refused to fit beside everything I'd learned. Every story passed down through the generations had painted them as eternal enemies, two legends born to destroy one another. No tale had ever hinted that they had once ruled from the same throne."You were married," I said, the question barely louder than a whisper.Neither denied it.My gaze moved between them, searching for some sign that this was another illusion crafted by the Hall. I found only old grief."You fought together," I continued slowly. "You built the Dragon Kingdom together."Lyra nodded. "We built f
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 31: The Name Buried by History
The vision vanished so abruptly that my knees buckled.The Sword of Dawn slipped from my grasp and struck the crystal floor with a sharp clang before I caught myself against its hilt. My pulse pounded so hard it blurred my hearing, and the bitter taste of smoke lingered at the back of my throat as though I'd truly stood inside that burning city only moments ago.When I lifted my head, the Hall remained exactly as it had been. Towering pillars disappeared into darkness above, crimson rivers wound through polished black stone, and golden dust drifted lazily through the vast chamber like falling ash. Nothing had changed around me, yet the memory refused to loosen its grip.Lyra.Caelan.Standing together while an empire burned.I dragged in a slow breath that did little to steady me."What... was that?"Caelan regarded me with unsettling calm. "A memory.""It wasn't mine.""No," he said. "It belongs to your blood."A cold knot settled in my stomach."You inherited more than a family name
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 30: The One Who Not Exist
heir silence was answer enough.The realization settled heavily in my chest. Whatever history bound these two together, it reached far beyond the fragments I'd uncovered in the Hall. This wasn't the first time they had stood on opposite sides of a battlefield. Judging by the sorrow in Lyra's eyes and the cold satisfaction in the stranger's smile, it wouldn't be the last.Lyra finally broke the silence."You've come for the relics.""I've come for what belongs to me."His gaze drifted to the Sword of Dawn resting in my hands. The crimson glow reflected in his eyes, but there was no awe in his expression—only the quiet confidence of someone reclaiming stolen property."You've spent centuries guarding my inheritance."The words landed like a blow.My inheritance.Not the kingdom.Not the Hall.The relics.Lyra's face hardened."You forfeited that claim long ago.""So you keep telling yourself."He took another measured step, and the pressure inside the chamber intensified. The air grew h

The woman's footsteps echoed through the shattered chamber with quiet certainty.Around her, fragments of broken crystal hung motionless in the air, refusing to fall. Dust drifted without settling, suspended in the crimson glow that filled the Hall. Even time seemed to hesitate as she approached.At first, only a silhouette emerged from the shifting shadows, the darkness clinging to it like a living veil. With every measured step, the shadows loosened their hold until she stood fully revealed beneath the crimson light.She wasn't what I had imagined.The First Dragon Queen wore no jeweled armor and no sweeping royal cloak. A simple crimson gown flowed around her, embroidered with silver thread that caught the light like dragon scales beneath clear water. Her dark hair rested over one shoulder, and a narrow circlet crowned her brow.She looked barely older than I was.That alone should have been impossible.What unsettled me most was her face.She could have been my sister.The resembl
