AKIRA

I closed the entryway to my room, and the silence settled like a weight on my chest. Alone presently, genuinely alone, I feel the vacancy press against me from all sides. The calm isn’t comforting; it’s accusatory. Everything I thought I knew feels like smoke slipping through my fingers. I sink down onto the edge of my bed, hands holding the knit my mother once sewed. The recognizable texture is meant to be delicate, warm—but nowadays, it feels unusual, like I’m touching a lie.

"Not his girl," I whisper out loud, as if saying it might by one means or another make it less genuine. But the words wait in the air, biting and unavoidable.

My Uncle—no, not my Uncle—the man I called my Uncle all years, kept this truth from me. And for what? To protect me? Or was it something darker? My look falls on the old wooden chest at the foot of my bed. I keep in mind when I began to find it, tucked away in the upper room, secured in tidy. My mother had smiled, her eyes removed, and told me it wa

    AKIRAI sighed as I walked towards the window, standing at the window, gazing out at the quiet palace grounds, the moon casting a nice glow over the lawns and water fountains. Our plan, once so solid and well laid, now seemed like a reckless gamble, a high stake game with lives hanging in the balance. I couldn't shake the feeling that we were playing with fire, and I wasn't sure I wanted people to keep dying at my expense. I couldn't even imagine being remembered by that.I thought about all the things that could go wrong, all the dangers that lurked in every corner, my mind began to reel with doubts. The more I thought about it, the more I felt like retreat was the best option. We couldn't afford to take any more risks. The stakes were already too high, and I couldn't help but wonder what I was fighting for. Was it really worth it? I doubt it. But Kaiden wouldn't want to hear any of my words. I felt so useless.I sighed, my breath misting up the windowpane as I leaned my forehead ag

    AKIRAThe square was colder than I expected. Stone walls rose on all sides, echoing every footstep and whisper. Guards lined the edges, armor glinting faintly in the weak sunlight. A hush had fallen over the crowd, a tense quiet that pressed against my chest, making it hard to breathe.I stood near the edge, watching the proceedings. Kenan was brought forward, chains clinking with every step. The smell of smoke, sweat, and fear hung in the air. I could hear the murmurs ripple through the spectators, curiosity, anticipation, some grim satisfaction. But under it all, I sensed the danger lurking. One wrong word from him, and everything I had worked to hide could unravel.My hands clenched at my sides, nails biting into my palms. I tried to calm my racing thoughts, forcing myself to focus. Kenan had a history, a dark one, and he knew enough to make lives crumble if given the chance. Most importantly, he knew about me. My connection to Kaiden, the secrets I guarded, it was all too close to

    KAIDENThe morning light streamed through the narrow windows, casting long, golden streaks across the room. Dust motes floated lazily in the air, catching the sunlight like tiny sparks. The palace was waking, but here in this quiet alcove, it felt as if the world had shrunk to just Akira and me.She sat across from me, her expression calm, almost unreadable, though I knew better. Every slight movement, every subtle glance, carried meaning I could feel in my chest. I wanted to reach for her, to tell her everything I’d kept buried, but the words stuck. Not because I didn’t feel them, because I felt them too sharply, too intensely.My hand twitched at my side. The urge to brush a stray lock of hair from her face, to let my fingers linger on her skin, was almost unbearable. I studied her quietly, memorizing the curve of her jaw, the way the sunlight highlighted the faint shimmer in her eyes. Every moment like this made the walls I had built around my heart tremble.I swallowed, reminding

    AKIRAI moved through the quiet halls, each step measured, cautious. The world felt heavy tonight, as if every shadow could hold a secret, every whisper a threat. My thoughts swirled around Kaiden, Elara, the spy and I knew I needed guidance. I needed someone I could trust, even if just a little.Zane’s quarters were small, tucked away at the end of a side hallway. The door was slightly open, a sliver of warm light spilling into the corridor. I paused outside, taking a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. Could I really risk this? Could I trust him with what I carried inside?I knocked softly. “Zane?” My voice was quiet, almost hesitant.“Come in,” came his calm reply.I stepped inside, closing the door gently behind me. The room smelled faintly of herbs and candle smoke. It was quiet here, almost peaceful, it was a stark contrast to the tension that followed me everywhere else. I let my eyes sweep the room, taking in the worn-out books on the shelves, the small desk neatly

    AKIRAThe room was quiet, the storm of our bodies had been replaced by a different kind of tension. He lay beside me, his chest rising and falling slower now, the sharp edge of his anger gone, but something was still in his gaze. He didn’t speak. And he didn’t need to. Just the weight of him there, the heat still lingering, made the air between us feel weird.I traced a finger over my own skin, over the places his hands had left marks, and I shivered, not from cold, but from the vulnerability I couldn’t hide. Lying there, naked, I felt raw in a way I hadn’t allowed anyone to see. Did he notice it? Did he know how tightly I had clung to him, how willingly my body had betrayed my anger?Part of me ached for him, a hollow craving that tied with frustration. And part of me flinched, knowing that every touch, every whispered gasp, every furious kiss had only tied me closer to him, and to danger. Kaiden had a way of leaving his mark, not just on skin, but on everything beneath it: my pride,

    AKIRAThe air in my quarters was still, and filled with the silence I had wrapped around myself. I had been sitting by the small table in my room, pretending to read an old book, but my mind was far from the words. My thoughts kept circling back to Elara, her smile, her threat, and the way her eyes looked into me as though she could already see through my soul.I didn’t hear Kaiden’s footsteps until the door slammed open. The sudden noise jolted me upright. He filled the doorway, I saw that his shoulders were tense, and eyes were burning with something I couldn’t name, looked like anger, or suspicion, or maybe even the both.“Akira.” He said my name as though I had offended him.I steadied my breath and forced myself not to flinch, though my heart had already leapt against my ribs. I had known this would come. Elara’s words, her poison, would not stay contained for long. But still, t the weight of his presence always rattled me, no matter how much I tried to prepare.“What is it?” I a
