Lucan lay me down onto the white mattress yet half of me crushed against the wall of muscle he called a chest the moment his weight descended on it.

Up close, I noticed what I hadn’t before—Lucan wasn’t seductive like Eryx or beautiful like Corin. He was a true Alpha. His body was carved to be a weapon, each line of muscle honed to lethal precision. Smooth, hard. No wasted flesh. No unnecessary hair. Just brutal perfection.

He slid his fingers into me, slow but deep, curling them just right until I pushed back with a strangled moan. His thumb pressed hard against my clit while his other fingers stroked deliberately, hitting that spot that made my legs quake.

“Tell me,” he murmured, his voice low and dangerous. His gaze was locked on mine as his pace quickened. “You want more?”

“Tell me what you want, naughty girl.” His fingers stroke faster inside me.

He knew more than anyone that I wanted a lot more than the sensation he was currently giving. He was starving of his cock while

    Tears streaked my face, not from the wrenching grief in my heart, but from the raw, stabbing pain burning through my eyes. I gasped for breath, my hands clutching my face. I was in so much pain, but I refused to scream out.My nightgown was soaked, clinging cold and heavy against my skin despite the bitter chill in the air. I could feel my body resisting, fighting the seal pressed tight over my eyes. The pain was unlike anything I had ever endured. It was sharp, invasive, unbearable, as though something ancient were forcing its way back into me.Then a voice cut through the agony.Deep. Commanding. Cold as the grave.“Finally… you’ve come back.”My breath hitched. I would have recognized that voice anywhere—even in Hell.Swallowing hard, I forced the pain down, locking it behind clenched teeth. Slowly, trembling, I lowered my hands from my face. Whatever waited for me in the darkness, whatever truth my eyes had been sealed from before, I knew one thing with chilling certainty: I h

    Sleep didn’t pull me under gently, it dragged me down, fast and heavy, like falling through deep water.When I opened my eyes, he was there.Eryx.I never thought I would dream of him again, but suddenly, there he was—his crimson eyes softened when they met mine.The dream settled around him naturally, as it always did: with a quiet, overwhelming presence. His aura was warmth mingled with pressure and the gentle scent of cold pine and stormlight. I wasn’t blind in the dream.I could see every sharp, astonishingly beautiful line of his face, clear and vivid, as if the darkness had never touched me at all. I moved toward him like we were two pieces of the same magnet, pulled together by something inevitable, something intense than will.Eryx smiled when he saw me coming. He had that wicked grin tugging his lips, the one that always made my breath catch. The world around us blurred, colors bleeding into one another until there was nothing left but him and the space between us, shrinkin

    I froze. I had once begged him not to kill Lithi when he had put his hands on me. But after what he’d just seen… I doubted Lucan would take the easy way out, which was getting scorched to dust by my flames. Lithi jerked away from me as if he had been burned already, stumbling backward, but before I could even react… he was gone.“Wait—where did he—?” I spun in place, sensing nothing, hearing only the faint echo of my own boots.Lucan’s deep, controlled voice rumbled from behind me. “He won’t bother you again. Forever.”“What do you mean by forever? Where did you send him to?”“Don’t worry about him,” Lucan said, his tone laced with a plain, simmering rage. Rage that, despite everything, didn’t feel like it came solely from seeing Lithi touch me. “We all spoke to Veylor, but he refuses to unbind Eryx yet.”His voice grew clipped. Controlled.“Said it would only distract you more.”I swallowed hard as he continued, “And I tend to agree. You don’t need extra complications right now.”My

    On the journey to the Void, Elara and I had barely been acquaintances. And yet somehow… somehow she’d lodged herself deeper than I realized. Deep enough that the loss hollowed something inside me.And the guilt—fuck, the guilt never stopped.If I’d gone to her, if I’d been stronger, if I hadn’t been lost in a man’s arms… maybe she wouldn’t have fallen. Maybe she wouldn’t have hanged herself.Mistress Lune exhaled shakily and stepped back.“Well,” she said quietly, collecting herself, “since you’ve already taken some kind of cure today, whatever that Apex Initiate gave you, we’ll need to postpone your actual treatment.”My stomach clenched. “Postpone? For how long?”I had been counting on her cure after everything. She was renowned throughout Blackcroft for her Cures, and I had pinned all my hope on her skill.“Until I know exactly what was in that broth he gave you,” she said firmly. “Mixing cures is dangerous. It could force the seal on your eyes to… close permanently. And if that ha

    Earlier, I wondered if Marilynn was in the Hall, but now I felt certain she was. She might not be able to speak, but I knew she understood that I was blind.What would she think? Good for me? The thought almost dragged a hollow laugh out of me.Chairs scraped the ground and footsteps hurriedly left the Hall. It was our last class of the day. I could hear their tired groans and whispers about my blindness, but soon, everything fell silent. When the hall finally emptied, Mistress Lune stepped closer, her voice gentle as she took my hand. I didn't flinch because I was used to her caring touch.“Juno… you must speak with Lucan Talon. It has been nine nights. His seal on Marilynn's voice must be released.”My throat tightened. How was I supposed to speak to him when I planned to avoid the whole Apex Circle for now? “I will talk to him as soon as I can.” I swallowed. “And… Mistress Lune… please tell Marilynn I’m sorry. For everything.”A soft breath escaped her. Maybe surprise, maybe s

    “My great-grandfather is from the Upper Realm, and he knows dark magic that no one else does. I can tell the curse is… layered,” Maxon said, his voice low but certain. “Not simple blindness. More like bound. A seal. A lock. And locks can be undone.”I swallowed hard. His words were just like what Dominic had translated from the stranger. Remembering the stranger’s warning that forcing the seal open could tear me apart long before it ever broke made it even harder to believe in Maxon’s fragrant broth.“Undoing something like this isn’t that easy.” “No,” he agreed quietly. “But your body is fighting it. That’s why it will hurt in a few hours. It won't be sharp at all times…but when it is, it might be unbearable. The broth will agitate the seal—force it to react. If it reacts, you can break it.”His confidence should’ve comforted me. But instead, something twisted inside me, fear, hope… disbelief. He was more powerful than I expected. He was damn worthy of being an Apex Initiate. “A
