Eva’s point of view

I take one step after him, then stop. The laughter and music spilling from the ballroom pulls at me, but not as hard as the weight in my chest.

No more running.

“Elias,” I call softly.

He halts, turning, confused. “What?”

I gesture to the fountain. “Sit with me. Just for a second.”

He hesitates, glancing toward the door, like he’s worried someone might catch him doing something as scandalous as talking to his sister. But after a second, he mutters, “Fine,” and flops down beside me again with a dramatic sigh.

“What now? Want to talk about your feelings more? Maybe braid each other’s hair?”

I ignore him. My palms feel sweaty. Me. Nervous. That’s new.

I clear my throat. “I’ve been thinking… about first steps. About being honest.”

He raises an eyebrow. “With who?”

“You.”

The word hangs in the air, heavier than it should be.

I glance at him, feeling stupidly awkward, like I’m about to confess I stole his bike or broke his favorite toy. “You know how i disa

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 191: The Thing I Didn’t Want to Say

    Parker’s Point of View I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired in my life. Physically? Sure. Mentally? Absolutely. But this—this is different. This is soul-tired. Like the whole cursed forest is chewing on my bones, one bite at a time, just to see when I’ll finally snap. We don’t stop moving, though. Sonia’s beside me, steady and sharp, eyes darting around like she’s counting enemies before they appear. And I’m right there with her, matching her stride, pretending I’m not falling apart inside. I should be focusing on the fog, the forest, the magic—but all I can think about is what I saw. Trixie. Kissing Michael. Laughing. Choosing him. I know it wasn’t real. I know it was a trick. But it still feels like someone took a crowbar to my ribs and pried my chest open for fun. I can’t even begin to imagine how Sonia’s holding it together. Finally, Sonia breaks the silence. “Parker.” Here we go. She doesn’t look at me, just keeps walking. Focused. Dangerous. “I have a question,” sh

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 190: Smoke and Lies

    Sonia’s Point of View The first thing I notice is the cold. Then the fog. And then the screaming rage boiling under my ribs when I open my eyes and see Michael across the clearing. Not dead. Not worried. No panic in sight. No—he’s busy. With Trixie. They’re leaning against one of the twisted black trees, tangled together like they don’t even remember the world’s ending. His hand’s in her hair, her hands are on his chest, and I swear to every celestial being that’s ever existed—if I weren’t frozen in shock, I’d rip his arms off and beat him with them. “You absolute bastard,” I breathe. They don’t hear me. Of course they don’t. Too busy playing let’s-ruin-Sonia’s-life in high definition right in front of me. “MICHAEL!” I shout, storming forward, fists clenched, magic sparking under my skin like fireworks ready to blow. Still nothing. Just more kissing. More hands. More betrayal. I’ve murdered people for less. “Oh, you think this is funny?” I snarl. “Wait until I get my hands

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 189: The Wrong Ones

    Parker’s Point of View When I wake up, I know something’s wrong. Not because of the fog—that’s expected by now. Not because of the cold creeping into my bones, or the way every single hair on the back of my neck is standing up like a warning siren. No. It’s the silence. And the fact that I’m alone. I sit up slowly, dirt clinging to my jacket, head pounding. The clearing is empty. No Trixie. No Michael. No Sonia. Just… me. Trixie? I try through the mindlink. Nothing. I close my eyes and focus harder, reaching out like Theo taught me to. Trix? Answer me. Where are you? Sonia? Anyone? Only static. Panic starts chewing at the edges of my stomach, but I shove it down. Panic doesn’t help. Thinking helps. And right now the only thought I have is find them. And then—I hear her. Trixie. Her voice, clear, sharp, annoyed as ever, floating through the fog like a lifeline. “—would you stop for once—ugh, Michael—” I sprint toward it, stumbling over roots and bones, ignoring the stin

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 188: Don’t Look Down

    Michael’s Point of View I hate caves. Nothing good happens in caves. History has proven this repeatedly. Lost civilizations? Caves. Giant spiders? Caves. Things whispering in languages I don’t understand? Also caves. And yet—here I am again, following Trixie into certain death like I don’t have better hobbies. The entrance swallows us whole, and the second the light from outside fades, that old familiar panic claws its way up the back of my throat. Nope. Not happening. I’m not doing this again. “Don’t say it,” I mutter to myself, keeping my gun up. “Don’t even think about it.” Trixie glances back at me. “You good?” “I’m great.” “You’re jumpy.” “I’m always jumpy.” “You’re sweating.” “It’s tactical sweating. Helps with focus.” She rolls her eyes and keeps walking, blades glinting faintly in the little light left. She’s fearless. Of course she’s fearless. Probably because she’s thinking about stabbing Parker again, and that gives her strength. We move deeper, the floor of

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 187: Not Funny

    Michael’s Point of View I don’t like magic. I don’t trust it. I don’t like it. And right now? I hate it. We’ve been following that stupid laugh for what feels like hours, wading through fog that clings to my boots and makes my gun feel heavier by the second. Trixie’s moving beside me, knives ready, muttering curses that’d make a priest faint. Then—finally—we see them. Through the fog, two figures standing close. Too close. A flash of blonde hair. A smirk I know far too well. Sonia. And… Parker? My jaw tightens as I step closer. No. No way. They’re… kissing. “You have got to be kidding me,” I growl. Trixie makes a noise like a strangled scream. “That absolute—when I get my hands on him—” I move first. Rifle up. Boots crunching across the dead leaves. But the second we get close enough to grab them, both figures flicker. And then they’re not people. They’re shadows. Two twisted, shifting silhouettes. Black where Parker’s grin should be, empty where Sonia’s eyes should bu

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 186: Where the Hell Are They?

    Trixie’s Point of View The first thing I notice is the fog. Thick, wet, curling around my boots like it’s alive. The second thing I notice is that it’s quiet—too quiet. No birds. No wind. Just… fog. And then I realize something worse. Parker’s not making noise. I shoot up from where I’d apparently passed out on the ground, dagger already in hand, eyes scanning the blurred mess of the clearing. Bones—still there. Creepy. Campfire—burnt to ash. Horses—gone. I turn—and nearly stab Michael when he jolts awake next to me. “Shit!” I hiss. “It’s me!” Michael’s up fast, reaching for his gear. And by gear, I mean the most absurd collection of weapons I’ve ever seen in my life. Guns. Real ones. Silver-lined, reinforced, things that make the knives Sonia and I carry look like children’s toys. I glare at him. “What the hell is that? Were you planning on starting a war?” Michael shrugs like it’s nothing. “Don’t trust blades for everything.” “Where’s Sonia?” That’s when the realization
