221 - Too Soon

GILDEONHe visited the first location Professor Nowak had marked for him—a cliff perched above a remote waterfall. It had taken him nearly an hour to reach it on foot. The drop was jagged, the edge raw and windswept—details that matched his vision, but not enough to confirm anything yet.The place pulsed with mystical energy. He could feel it in his bones. But to truly gauge its strength and figure out how to contain it, he needed to see it fully.He activated his dragon vision, giving it a shot. But the moment it flared to life, a sharp, blinding burn pierced through his eyes. He winced, grunting under his breath as the searing sting hit him like staring into the heart of the sun, only ten times worse.Gildeon yanked off his glasses.“Fucking Light Faes,” he muttered, pressing his fingers to his closed eyes, the corners damp with pain.He had no idea how long this would last. He loathed the feeling of having his power strip

222 - Make Me Yours

ARAHShe wanted to push him away, but her hands refused to listen. Instead, they found their way to the back of his neck, fingers latching gently onto him, brushing against the fine strands of hair at his nape. Her trembling lips parted on their own, welcoming his kiss before she could stop herself.A surge of emotions swelled in her chest. She felt betrayed—even if their relationship had always been complicated. She hated that she wasn’t the one carrying Gildeon’s child. She was angry that they were in this position at all—protecting a woman who’d once been an enemy, someone who should’ve been eliminated.And what would happen after this? Would Gildeon be forced to split his attention between her and that child?The thought of sharing him made her chest ache. Gildeon was supposed to be hers. Only hers. And right now, in this moment, she had him—body and soul. He belonged to her.Her fingers curled into fists as the kiss deepened.

223 - Surge of Magic

ARAHHer words seemed to break whatever control he had left. Suddenly, he grabbed her waist with a grunt, dragging her close. Her arms circled his neck, just as she felt him push into her. It stretched her open, drew a gasp from her lips that she had to bury in the crook of his neck.Her legs wrapped tighter around him. He filled her inch by inch, until he bottomed out, the blunt head of him brushing a place so sensitive it sent a shiver down her spine. Every part of her felt as though it had been molded to receive him. His hips pressed forward, the friction of his body catching against that tender, aching place between her thighs.“You feel so good, Arah,” Gildeon groaned, then pressed another kiss to her lips—hungry, deep, like he couldn’t get close enough. “So fucking good.”His words poured into her like heat, and she answered with a soft moan, just as their mouths met again—wet and breathless.She melted into the way his hands

224 - It Wasn't A Lie

GILDEONIt was done.He’d finally slept with a sylph.But the mission hadn’t been on his mind when he kissed Arah. Not even when he was inside her, lost in the heat and feel of her.He’d wanted her—as a woman. Not as a being who could give him more power.Still, he couldn’t ignore the sudden surge of powerful energy that had channeled into him from her. Whether it was the Awakening or not, he couldn’t say for sure. It felt foreign, and though it had flowed into him, he didn’t feel any different.Gildeon pulled the blanket over Arah, who was curled up in the oversized chair in the corner of the workshop. She’d refused to use Roselia’s guest room, insisting on staying up to help with the research. She’d meant to just nap for a bit, but ended up completely out cold.His lips twitched into a faint smile before he leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead.When he’d heard her say she loved him, his mind had gon

225 - The Cursed Child

ARAHShe had every reason to keep hating Lexi, but right now, she didn’t. All she saw was a mother terrified for her unborn child, looking heartbreakingly alone in a world she no longer seemed to trust.“I won’t let anything happen to that child,” Gildeon said from where he stood by the glass window.For a moment, Arah felt like she could say the same thing.Lexi placed a protective hand over her belly, her eyes looking vulnerable and hopeful at the same time.“You said there’s a way?” she asked, her gaze flicking between Gildeon and Arah.Arah leaned forward from the armchair, deciding to answer herself. “Well, Gildeon thinks if we can make the conditions impossible for the Dark Plane to appear at all, then that vision won’t come true.”She went on to explain what they’d discovered so far and how the ritual had gone sideways.“We kinda mes

226 - Where Was She In All This

ARAHHer arm lifted instinctively, her wind tattoo already tingling, ready to release at any second.“Who are you?” she demanded.The man turned slowly, then drove his trekking pole into the rocky ground with a sudden force. The impact rattled the earth beneath her feet. The tremor felt like a mini-earthquake that only touched the cliff they stood on.Arah’s heart pounded as a deep rumble rose from below. But the world around her remained unchanged. Tourists nearby seemed completely oblivious.Then, thick black tendrils—twisted and gnarled like old tree branches—erupted from the stone around the cliff. They snaked upward, growing fast, forming walls that arched and crisscrossed above them. They caged her in with the stranger and blotted out the sun. Only narrow slivers of light managed to slip through the gaps.Arah released the wind tattoo, and her owls burst forth as well, circling her in a protective spiral.Meanwh

227 - Shadow Over Her Heart

ARAHHer vision snapped back to the present, and she coughed, her mouth suddenly dry as sand. Her hands flew to her temples, now throbbing like hot needles had pierced them.Moisture stung the corners of her eyes as she glanced at the Dark Fae. He was still perched on the stone, watching her like he’d enjoyed every second of the emotional torment he’d just put her through.“What was that?” she asked, her voice strained, one hand clutching at her neck as if to ground herself.He flashed a tight-lipped grin. “Like I said, that’s the future you’ll face if you don’t let the cursed child do what it’s meant to do.”The painful vision replayed in her mind.“They’ll live like a happy human family,” the Dark Fae added as if to rub salt in the wound. “And you? You’ll be out of the picture.”She snapped a glare at him. “How do I

228 - Might Choose Another Life

ARAHStepping out of the shower, she found Gildeon sitting on the bed, flipping through one of Roselia’s grimoires. She paused in the doorway, towel in hand, as she rubbed at her damp hair, quietly watching him. He was so focused on reading, she doubted he even noticed she was there.She hadn’t expected him to be this invested. Sure, it was his child. But maybe what truly surprised her was how much he already seemed to care.Her hand stilled on the towel as that memory surfaced… the future the Dark Fae had shown her. Gildeon, looking at his son with such tenderness, Lexi beside him. The ache returned, blooming in her chest. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions before they spiraled again.She refused to believe Gildeon would abandon her, even after the child was born. She refused to accept the idea that he might choose another life.A life with Lexi instead of her.“Arah, you alright?”

229 - You're Better Than This

ARAHHer jaw dropped. Even Gildeon looked stunned into silence. Lexi was supposed to still be in her first trimester.“How did this happen?” Gildeon voiced the very question echoing in her mind, his brows drawn tight in confusion.“Isn’t this normal for salamanders?” Arah asked.He shook his head, arms folding across his chest. “No. Our women carry offspring far longer than humans do. Even if the child’s a hybrid and being carried by a lower mortal, there’s no way it should be accelerating like this.”Lexi glanced down at her swollen belly, fingers hovering over it as if afraid to touch. “I don’t know what happened,” she said.“You don’t know?” Arah raised a brow. “What did you do to it?” She hadn’t meant for it to sound accusatory, but there was no logical starting point.Nothing about this made sense.Lexi’s head snapped up. “I would never cast a spell on my own baby, if that’s what you’re implying.”A

230 - Wish It Were That Simple

ARAHShe didn’t get a good night’s sleep. She couldn’t even remember if she’d gotten a single moment of shut-eye. Even in her dreams, she felt restless, haunted by the thought of Gildeon sleeping next to Lexi in his room. The least they’d done to ease her mind was leave the door open, but honestly, passing by that room, she wished they’d just closed it.Gildeon had been lying on his side, hand still resting on Lexi’s belly. What really irked her, though, was Lexi’s hand resting over his. In her head, she pictured slicing that hand clean off.Her morbid daydreaming was interrupted by the sight of Gildeon stirring. She quickly ducked out of view.Arah went straight to the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee. She considered making breakfast for Gildeon, but decided against it and prepared one just for herself instead.She was in the middle of toasting some bread when she heard his footsteps coming down the hallway.“Hey, y
