CIARAN

I walked through the tunnels with a dark cloud hanging over my head.

My wolf was pacing, snapping at the bars of my mind because I’d had to leave Eleanor while she was still soft and warm in my arms.

Our lips were only inches apart!

Rhidian was waiting for me in the medical wing.

He looked worse than he had at dinner; his face had lost all color, and his eyes were sunken.

"You need to see the reality of this," he said, handing me a pair of heavy (what material are overalls typically?) ov

    CIARAN The shadow retreated just as quickly as it had appeared, leaving me cold and trembling.I let Rhidian go. He slumped against the wall, gasping and clutching his throat.There were red marks across his neck, stark evidence of how hard I had held him.I didn’t care if he lived; I only cared about one thing: the girl standing in the doorway.Eleanor looked like a ghost. She was swaying, her small hands turning white as she gripped the stone frame.I moved toward her, my boots crunching on Alluvia’s broken ribs.My eyes were still aflame. I expected her to run, expected her to see the monster in my gaze and finally, rightfully, scream.I wouldn't have blamed her if she did.But she didn’t move. She just watched me.Her eyes were steady, reflecting the carnage I’d wrought without a single flicker of judgment in those grey depths.It was terrifying.“Eleanor,” my voice was raspy.She took one step, then another, before her legs gave out.I caught her before she hit the floor. She wa

    CIARANI heard the door open. Dylan didn’t speak. He didn’t have to. I saw the panic in his eyes first, then I felt the fear in the mind link.My heart hit the floor. My face went white, the blood draining away as if someone had pulled a plug.“Eleanor,” I choked out.I leaped to my feet and ran, the sound of our footsteps echoing in the stone hallway.“She was okay last night. I swear she was okay. Maybe a little sad, but that was it,” Dylan rambled as we ran, a few paces behind me.“Okay, she was really sad, and she cried a lot. She was inconsolable…”Guilt washed over me. The thought of her crying all night left a pang in my chest.I did that to her. I had caused her so much pain, all because of my fear. My fear of my feelings for her.“She was okay when she fell asleep, I swear. When I left, she was okay…”We hit the threshold of her room. I stopped.The air was heavy with the smell of Dylan. He had been here all night.They had been so close, maybe they even cuddled.The thought

    ELEANORHe was gone just as quickly as he came. I could almost feel it again.The warmth of his body pressed against mine, his strong, powerful arms caressing me all over, his soft, full lips kissing me tenderly…He had kissed me like I was made of glass. Like I was something fragile that might shatter if he pressed too hard. I hated it.I didn’t want to be handled with care. I wanted him to be feral.I wanted the passion to burn as strongly as the bond between us, a bond I still didn’t understand.I had felt the heat pooling between my legs.My nipples had hardened against the wool of his sweater. I was ready to surrender.But he pulled away.For a split second, before he turned his back, I saw his face.It wasn’t just confusion. I could have sworn I saw disgust.It was like a dagger had been twisted repeatedly into my heart.Suddenly, I wasn’t in the Siren Kingdom anymore.I was back in that suffocating bedroom with Baron. I could smell the alcohol on his breath.I could see the lon

    CIARANI didn't just open the door. I broke it.The wood shattered against the stone. My lungs were on fire, my wolf screaming for blood.I saw Dylan. I saw him holding her hand in his.His lips were only inches away. My vision turned red, and all I could see was rage."DYLAN!" His name tore out of me. I was across the room in a heartbeat, a blur of teeth and rage.I was ready to tear his throat out to touch what was mine.It didn’t help that she was sparsely dressed.Her wet hair clung to her head; water trickled down her neck, soaking the neckline of her dress.It was a thin white dress that fit like a glove, showing her slender figure.Then, a touch.Eleanor stepped between us. Her hand caught my wrist.A spark of raw electricity surged through my skin, like a burst of lightning in my veins. It wasn't just the bond.It was something else—potent, alive. I felt connected to her in more ways than before.I stopped. My world narrowed down to her fingers on my skin.A touch so simple, y

    ELEANORThe silence he left behind was heavy. “Cold. I pulled the collar of his sweater over my nose, breathing him in.”He smelled of pine and cedar. There was the mix of a scent that was uniquely his. I couldn’t quite place it.I squeezed my eyes shut and let out a small, noiseless giggle against the wool.For a second, the looming dread over my life was gone. For a second, I was just a girl in a man’s sweater. A man I really liked.A man I was close to shoving my tongue into his mouth.I shifted to the edge of the bed. Heat traveled to my cheeks.I swung my legs over and let my bare feet hit the floor.The stone didn’t feel like stone. It felt alive. A soft crack echoed through the room, like glass breaking… I froze.I looked down.From beneath my toes, silver cracks were spider-webbing across the grey rock.And then, the blooms. Small, pale Siren-lilies pushed through the cracks, their petals glowing like a ghostly moonlight at midnight.They uncurled in seconds, blossoming in the

Better to be safe."I pulled the gear on, and then we moved deep into the lower caves, where the air was thick with the smell of salt water and the copper tang of blood.The tour was a nightmare. Rhidian led me past rows of stone cells where the diseased sirens were kept.These weren't the beautiful creatures I’d seen on the docks.They were held down by heavy iron chains, their bodies contorted into shapes that should have been impossible.Thei
