THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 120: The Door That Recommended
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. Seraphina stum
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 116: The Child Beneath the Skin
Cael stared at the small hand reaching out of the abyss.The crown-shaped mark on its wrist looked almost identical to the one beneath his left eye, except that its lines were broken, as though someone had tried to erase them and stopped halfway through. Its fingers opened and closed in the crimson light. They trembled in a way Seraphina recognized from Cael's first days after his awakening, when he had tried to hide his fear behind a stubborn show of courage.She stepped in front of him.“Don't touch it.”The hand paused.Below it, the faceless creature clung to the edge, its new fingers digging into the ancient stone. It had stopped climbing, but its body remained taut, as if an invisible rope held it in place. The crimson line between Elara and Cael pulsed once. The creature's shoulders jerked in response.Then the child spoke.“Cael?”His name came from below in a thin, uncertain voice. Not the imitation that had called him Brother. This time, there was a question in it, and somet
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 115: The Hand That Held Him
Seraphina saw the creature’s fingers before the rest of it emerged. They curled over the broken edge of the abyss, pale and unnaturally long, gripping the stone while something below hauled itself upward. Crimson light from Dawn and Dusk revealed a body that seemed poorly suited to the shape of the opening, its limbs stretching at awkward angles as the ancient masonry groaned beneath its weight.Cael hung above the darkness, one ankle trapped in its hand.“Cael!”Seraphina lunged forward, but the crowned warrior caught her around the waist before she could slide over the edge. Elara’s wrist was already slipping through her fingers, and the girl had both feet planted against a fractured slab, desperately trying to keep her brother from falling. Grit scraped Seraphina’s palms as she tightened her hold. Beneath her knees, the stone crumbled, sending fragments rattling into the depths.“Pull them back!” the crowned warrior shouted.“I can’t while he’s down there!”He changed his grip, bra
