Regnar led Rhea into a reinforced basement of what used to be an old apothecary. It was dry, hidden, and most importantly, it had a heavy steel door. He laid Dominic down on a clean, narrow cot in the corner.

"Here," Regnar said, stepping back into the shadows of the room. "You can treat him here."

Rhea didn't waste a second. She knelt by the cot, pulling her stethoscope and fresh bandages from the kit. She was so focused on Dominic’s labored breathing that she didn't see Regnar signal to the g

    The table was set with modest mismatched plates Regnar had scavenged from the apothecary’s back rooms. The steam from the vegetable hash rose in thin, swirling ribbons, carrying an earthy aroma that made the damp basement feel, for a moment, like a home.Rhea pulled out a stool, her amber eyes bright with the satisfaction of a task completed. "Come on," she said, gesturing to the seats. "Let's eat."Regnar stood by the hearth, his hands clasped behind his back in a soldier’s rest that he tried to soften into a casual lean. "Go on," he said, his voice gruff. "I will eat later. I’m not quite hungry yet."Rhea frowned, her medical and hospitable instincts flaring up at once. "This is your home, sir. Please, join us. You’ve done so much for us already; the least we can do is share a meal."Regnar hesitated, his eyes darting toward Dominic. The veteran commander felt a bead of sweat prickle his hairline. In the hierarchy of the Ghost King’s court, sitting at the same table as the sovereign

    I’m much better, Rhea," Dominic said, his voice regaining its natural, deep resonance. He stood perfectly still, allowing her to press her palm against his forehead and then his neck. The fire that had threatened to consume his core the previous night had been banked, replaced by a steady, manageable warmth. "The rest and the... medicine... did their work."Rhea sighed, a long breath of relief that seemed to deflate the tension in her shoulders. She didn't notice the brief, knowing glance Dominic exchanged with Regnar behind her back. "Your fever is almost gone. It’s a miracle, honestly. Last night, I thought..." She trailed off, her eyes dropping to the floor as the memory of his collapse in the freezing dark flashed through her mind. "I thought I was going to lose you to the Fringe."Dominic reached out, his large hand gently cupping her chin to lift her gaze back to his. "You didn't. You brought me back, Rhea. You always do."The intimacy of the moment was interrupted by Regnar cle

    Mia stood up and adjusted her clothes, her fingers trembling as she buttoned her blouse. She couldn't believe what just happened. She was just fucked like a whore, used as nothing more than a vessel for a powerful man’s rage and frustration. The physical pain was sharp, a dull ache blooming in her lower back and thighs, but she didn't show it. She kept her face a stony mask, swallowing the bile that rose in her throat. Besides, she was willing to do anything to keep her life, and if this was the price of survival in the Citadel, she would pay it.Kaelen didn't even look at her as he finished the remains of his glass. He took a slow sip of his drink and, without a shred of courtesy, asked her to get out. Mia didn't wait for a second command. She quickly went out of the room, banging the heavy door behind her, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the silent hallway. Inside the room, Kaelen let out a cold, derisive snort and muttered "Bitch" under his breath before turning his attention b

    At the Citadel, the air was thick with the scent of ozone and expensive tobacco, a sharp contrast to the sulfurous rot of the Fringe. Kaelen paced the length of his private chambers, the polished marble floor echoing each of his sharp, agitated steps. He was already worried, his patience worn thin by the silence from the lower sectors. Every hour that passed without word felt like a personal insult to his authority.He turned abruptly to his second-in-command, his voice a low hiss. "Vance, have we gotten a report from Marcus yet? Has any of the searches been successful?"Vance stood at attention, his expression a mask of stony indifference. "No, sir. The signal flares have been sighted, and we know the vanguard breached the perimeter, but Marcus has not checked in since the storm intensified."Kaelen roared in frustration, flipping the heavy mahogany table in a sudden burst of rage. Glass decanters shattered against the floor, spilling deep red wine like a pool of fresh blood across t

She knelt by the cot, pulling her stethoscope and fresh bandages from the kit. She was so focused on Dominic’s labored breathing that she didn't see Regnar signal to the guards outside to form a perimeter.Dominic," she whispered, taking his hand. "I've got you. Just stay with me."Outside, the storm continued to howl, but inside the small stone room, the only sound was the steady, rhythmic pulse of a King fighting for his life and the woman who refused to let him go.After she had made sure that his temperature had reduced, the frantic energy that had sustained Rhea through the night began to ebb away, replaced by a deep, hollow exhaustion. She watched the way t

    "You're here," Rhea whispered, her voice barely audible over the distant, ragged moans of the infected. A wave of profound peace washed over her, an instinctive reaction to the solid, burning warmth of his body against hers. In the suffocating darkness of the Fringe, surrounded by death and decay, she felt safer in his arms than she had ever felt within the reinforced walls of her own sanctuary.They stood like that for some time, frozen in the deep shadows of the stone archway to allow the zombies to wander away. Dominic’s breathing was heavy and shallow, his chest heaving against her back. He didn't have the strength to fight the battle between the Feralis toxin and the antidote, which was ravaging his internal systems, leaving his muscles trembling and his vision swimming in shades of fractured silver.At that moment, their bodies were literally touching each other with such intimacy that Rhea wanted to stay like that for a few minutes. The fear that had propelled her into the nigh
