The Mistwood Vale stretched endlessly before them—mile after mile of shadowed fog, shifting like something alive. Every step felt heavier here, every breath a test. The mist clung to their skin like silk and smoke, whispering echoes that didn’t belong to either of them.

Kael’s hand stayed near hers but didn’t touch. “The mist listens,” he said quietly, voice a low rumble against the silence. “It feeds on thought, on sound. Stay focused on your heartbeat. Nothing else.”

Aria nodded, her pulse steadying beneath his words. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched—not by eyes, but by memory. Selene’s whisper still lingered in the corners of her mind, faint but sharp as frost.

“Kael,” she said softly, “if she can reach me through the bond, then how do I stop her?”

He stopped walking. The fog swirled between them, parting just enough for her to see his face. “You don’t stop her,” he said. “You shield her out.”

Aria frowned. “And how do I do that?”

He moved closer, lifting his

  • The Witch's Demon Mate   Chapter 69: The Depth That Answers

    The spiral did not end.It unfolded.Stone peeled away into something older than architecture, older than intention—walls becoming ribs, sigils sinking beneath layers of obsidian-like material that pulsed faintly, as though the prison itself had grown a heartbeat.Kael slowed, instinct screaming.“This isn’t a chamber,” he murmured.“No,” Aria replied quietly.Her voice echoed wrong—deeper, fuller, as if the space was answering her back.“It’s a womb.”The shadows around Kael reacted sharply, bristling, not in fear—but recognition. They clung tighter to his frame, bending inward as though bracing for pressure.The descent stopped.They stood at the threshold of a vast hollow—too symmetrical to be natural, too alive to be made.At its center hovered a structure that was not a structure at all.A knot of magic.Layered, folded, looping into itself—like countless awakenings compressed into one impossible singularity.Aria’s breath caught.“Oh…”The bond flared—not painfully this time, bu

  • The Witch's Demon Mate   Chapter 68: What the Convenant Woke

    The prison did not collapse.It locked down.The moment Aria’s restraints shattered, the Covenant’s failsafes triggered—ancient, patient systems snapping awake like something that had been waiting centuries for an excuse.The lights died.Not dimmed.Died.Blue sigils along the walls inverted, bleeding into deep crimson as the air thickened, heavy with suppressive force.Aria stiffened in Kael’s arms.“Kael—” she gasped, fingers digging into his coat. “They’re sealing the wing.”He felt it too.Not just doors closing—space folding, corridors re-routing, reality being bent into a controlled maze.The Covenant did not build prisons.They built containment sanctuaries.Kael turned slowly, shadows curling tighter around them both.“Can you walk?” he asked softly.Aria nodded, though her legs trembled.“I think so. My magic’s still—” she winced, breath hitching. “—coming back.”Kael didn’t hesitate. He scooped her up again.“Then don’t push it.”The bond pulsed between them, no longer fran

  • The Witch's Demon Mate   Chapter 67: The One Who Breaks the Door

    Kael felt her fear before he felt the walls.It came through the bond like a blade dragged across his ribs—sharp, panicked, contained. Not fading. Not gone.Caged.His vision burned silver as the Covenant corridor split open beneath his magic.Stone cracked.Runes screamed.The dampening field flared once—then shattered as shadow surged outward from him, devouring the light like it had been waiting to do exactly this.Kael didn’t slow.Didn’t think.Didn’t breathe.Every step forward was fueled by one singular truth:They took her.A pair of Covenant sentries appeared ahead—white armor, silver inlays, weapons already raised.“Stand down!” one shouted. “You are entering restricted—”Kael lifted his hand.Shadow erupted.The hallway imploded.When the dust cleared, both men were embedded in the walls, unconscious, their weapons twisted into useless scrap.Kael walked through the wreckage without looking back.The bond pulled him left—hard.He followed.Pain lanced through his chest as a

  • The Witch's Demon Mate   Chapter 66: The Moonlit Prison

    Aria woke to cold.Not the kind that bit or burned, but the kind that muted everything—sound, sensation, even thought.Her cheek rested against stone, smooth like glass and humming faintly under her skin.A pulse.A beat.Not hers.She exhaled shakily as memory slammed back:The forest.Kael’s roar.Hands dragging her.Light splitting around her body.The bond screaming—then nothing.Aria pushed herself upright.Chains rattled.She froze.Her wrists were wrapped in metal cuffs engraved with thin lines of silver—not pretty, not ornamental.Restraints designed to dull magic, to sever her connection to anything outside this room.Outside of him.Her chest tightened.The bond felt—wrong.Faint.Muted.Like someone had wrapped thick hands around her heart and was slowly squeezing.She pressed a fist to her sternum.“Kael…” she whispered.The room didn’t echo.Of course it didn’t.This place wasn’t built to let anything escape.A voice drifted through the quiet like silk sliding over sk

  • The Witch's Demon Mate   Chapter 65: When Selene Arrives

    The rain didn’t ease. It only grew heavier—fat droplets pounding the leaves in a steady, unbroken roar that drowned out almost everything. Almost. Because Aria still heard it. That soft hum. That pulse. That whisper of power moving through the air like a blade dragged across silk. Kael must have felt it too. His shadows coiled instinctively around her, tightening like armor as they pushed deeper into the forest. Every step they took away from the awakened shard seemed only to sharpen the presence stalking them. Varuun walked several paces behind, unusually silent, eyes glowing faintly beneath his hood. “We’re being followed,” Aria whispered. Kael didn’t look back. “No. She’s not following.” His jaw clenched. “She’s already here.” The clearing ahead of them split open with light. Not white. Not gold. But the cold, luminous blue of crackled moonstone. Aria’s breath stilled. Kael’s grip on her waist hardened. Varuun sighed. “Well. She’s in a dramatic mood today.” A fig
