Elias’s POV

I could still hear her scream.

The courtyard was a mess, and the air was thick with smoke and the smell of stone that had been burned. She stood trembling in the middle, her hands glowing slightly, her face pale as if she didn’t even belong to this world. Also, I saw *her* for one heartbreaking second.

Oh no, Rory.

Her.

The woman I lost a very long time ago.

Before anyone else could reach Rory, I jumped over the broken ground and grabbed her. When she touched mine, her body shook. She said, "Elias... I meant not to. I don’t know what happened.”

My chest tightened painfully. The same sound. The same big eyes. The same nervous lips that once begged me not to let her go.

    Lucien watched us like we were a promise bleeding.“You cannot run from what you are. Fighting your fate only feeds the darkness.”I spun to him. “So I should give up? Let it take me? Become something hideous and call it destiny?”“Or accept who you are and become ruler rather than weapon.”“I don’t want a crown!”Silence. Thick. Violent.Kael stared at me, voice low. “You think a crown is the danger? The crown is kindness. The throne is safe. The power is what will kill you.”

    “You say that now,” Dark Kael mumbled. “Until she burns you.”“She won’t.”Rory muttered, “But what if he’s right? What if my evil demands something you can’t give?”“Then I’ll give it anyway.”Her eyes softened and darkened.“You would bleed for me.”“I already did.”“You would die for me.”“I already did.”“You would chain yourse

Broken. “I am already breaking.”ThenA flash of silver.A blade.&
