GILDEONHe never thought he’d set foot in Lexi’s apartment again. But she’d left him no choice. She wouldn’t talk at the hospital. After they discharged her, he’d driven her home—where she promised to give him answers.“You want some wine, Professor?” Lexi asked as she walked toward the kitchen. “Just for you, though. I can only have some juice—”“I’m not here for a social call, Lexi,” he cut in, not even bothering to sit down. “Tell me the truth. That child can’t be mine.”“Straight to business again, huh?” she taunted, pulling his memory back to that first night he came here. How he’d pressed her against the wall without a word, claimed her mouth in a bruising kiss, torn off her dress, and taken her from behind—All the while thinking of Arah.He hadn’t regretted it. Didn’t even see it as a mistake. It had been necessary—to appease his dragon spirit. But if he’d known it would land him in this situation, Lexi wouldn’t have

ARAHJust when she thought she was ready to forgive Gildeon, he gave her another reason to burn.“It’s not enough that you slept with another woman—a crazy witch, no less.” She slammed her hands on the stone table. “Got her pregnant. And now you want her to live here?”She paused, catching her breath. Her chest stormed with rage, tight enough to burst. Wind slapped against them, tearing leaves from the tree, fluttering down like the last shreds of her patience.It was too much to take in.Ever since discovering she was a sylph, she’d been quietly training herself to keep her emotions in check. The last thing she wanted was to stir up chaos every time the wind responded to her mood.But this situation was pushing her to the edge. The fact that her outburst had triggered only a mild reaction felt like a small miracle already.Gildeon’s mouth parted slightly, his gaze flicking up to the tree above them with a mix of surp

GILDEONLight Faes.His mouth parted slightly, eyes blinking in surprise. He’d only ever heard a few things about them. Ghulik had said they rarely crossed into the earthly plane, rarely involved themselves in the affairs of other beings.His jaw clenched. “You’re the ones who tried to harm my child,” he muttered, summoning fire to his hand. “Saved me the trouble of tracking you down.”A bitter wind whipped through the room, slamming into his hand with such force that it went numb. The cold snuffed out his flame in an instant.He stared, stunned. No other creature had ever done that before.“Your fire holds no power against us.”But he was already releasing another flame, ignoring the remark.“If you persist,” the Fae warned, “you will only kill this human.”Gildeon gritted his teeth, every muscle in his body tightening. It wasn’t about concern for Professor Leviste’s safety—he hadn’t meant to put her at

ARAHShe woke in the middle of the night to find Gildeon gone from the bed. Pushing the sheets aside, she stood and spotted him through the window, pacing in the backyard. At first, she thought he was checking the security spells around the house—but no, he just looked lost in thought.Grabbing her robe, she stepped outside and quietly approached him. He didn’t even notice her until he nearly walked right into her.“Arah?” he said, startled.She tucked her hair behind her ear. “Couldn’t sleep?”“I did, for about an hour.”She resisted the urge to reach for his arm and instead hugged herself. “Is something else bothering you? What is it?”Gildeon raked a hand through his hair and sighed, his gaze drifting into the distance. He was silent for a long moment before he spoke again.“It’s the Light Faes, Arah.”She blinked. “What?”He turned to her, a dreadful look clouding his serpent eyes. It was the
