301 - Drove Him Mad

GILDEONHe couldn’t shake the suspicion gnawing at him about the sylph Arah had called Feviel.Gildeon knew he was hiding something. But what unsettled him most was whatever the sylph had done to make the hunter release them. It didn’t make sense.As far as Gildeon understood, hunters never abandoned a mission—not unless directly ordered by the Shining Keeper.What the fuck was that sigil? Everything had happened so fast, he hadn’t gotten a clear look. Just a flash of blue, ancient symbols, and suddenly... silence.Yadira’s voice broke through his thoughts. “I don’t understand why you ordered us to leave, Captain,” she said. “We could’ve demanded answers from him right then.”He barely looked at her. “Arah needs time with that sylph alone,” he said, voice distant, his mind still tangled with thoughts of the hunter.Yadira muttered behind him. “I don’t understand why you’re doing that sylph’s bidding. Tell us she doesn

302 - With Every Part Of Me

ARAHShe held her breath as Gildeon’s face darkened, his hard expression sending her pulse into a sprint.Then came his voice laced with heat. “No.”Her brows pulled together. “What do you mean, no?”Feviel stepped in. “It’s her choice to come with me. You can’t stop that.”“Try me,” Gildeon growled low. One of his hands morphed, scales creeping up his forearm, claws igniting with fire.“Gildeon, stop it!” Arah snapped.He threw her a sharp look. “You think after what happened today, I’ll let you out of my sight?”Her words caught in her throat.“Hate me all you want,” he said, “but you’re staying here. Whether you like it or not.”Arah felt his anger, and she found herself unable to oppose him. Then she saw Feviel tense beside her, ready to argue, but she reached out and gently grabbed his arm, stopping him.Gildeon’s glare snapped to her hand. She felt heat lick her skin. She yanked it back instinctively, the spot stinging.“It’s okay, Feviel,” she said quietly. “You can leave me he

303 - Won't Break Your Heart

ARAHHer hand flew to his shoulder with the intent to push him away, but it faltered. Her fingers curled instead, gripping muscle, then slid up to his neck, where his skin was hot beneath her palm. The kiss sharpened instantly. It was insistent, mouths moving with purpose, breath tangling between them.Her lips parted, a soft sound escaping her, and he took it as an invitation. The world narrowed to heat and pressure, to the scrape of his stubbled jaw, the solid presence of him pressed close. When his hand slipped the strap of her nightie free, she inhaled sharply, the sudden exposure making her more aware of herself than she’d ever been. He cupped her breasts, his thumb teasing and tugging at each sensitive peak, pulling a whimper from her lips.He then lowered his head, his tongue circling her areolas before capturing the hardened bud between his teeth and sucking intensely, drawing a sharp arch from her back.His other hand slipped under her nightie, caressing the inside of her thi

304 - You're The Exception

GILDEONFor the next few days, they’d kept themselves occupied preparing for the possibility of an incoming assault.It had been fortunate that Ghulik had finally awakened. Though his memories of the breach had been hazy, he’d still been able to identify the location where he believed Commander Haemos and his army would emerge.Coincidentally, it had turned out to be one of the three sites they’d previously suspected as the location of the Dark Plane gateway’s emergence—the narrow cliff pass along the rocky shoreline.It all made sense. The area pulsed with one of the strongest concentrations of mystical energy on the island—an ideal anchor point for a portal from Shamibar.They’d moved immediately. Roselia had taken command of the sealing ritual, assisted by several witches she had met abroad—the same ones who had helped temporarily bind the cosmic breach in Nepal.The spell had demanded an enormous amount of power, and so

305 - To Keep Her Safe

GILDEONHe watched the Fallen Immortal shove his hands into the pockets of his white pants, circling Arah like she was a rare art piece—one he was studying with a strange, reverent hunger.Yonah didn’t look like a threat, but Gildeon was ready for the moment that changed.“I’ve always been curious about this one,” Yonah said, tone playful, the smile on his thin lips laced with something sinister. “She’s no ordinary sylph. That much is obvious.”“Why are you here?”The Fallen Immortal paused, lifting his gaze with that ever-present amusement gleaming in his amber-silver eyes. “You’ve already forgotten your little mission?” He tilted his head. “I’m here to give you the dagger’s location and the Shining Keeper’s True Name.”Gildeon said nothing, his thoughts dragging him back to their first encounter. Yonah had made promi

306 - You'll Finally Remember Everything

ARAHShe breathed a quiet sigh of relief after hearing that Gildeon had only been overwhelmed by a sudden surge of energy from the seal. He claimed it was just a random flare-up, nothing more, and doubted it would ever happen again.Arah believed him, especially since he’d recovered quickly and was back on his feet in no time. Still, a part of her couldn’t shake the feeling that something else had happened. She’d sensed a force earlier, something foreign, something that didn’t feel like it belonged to the magic of the seal or the energy hotspot beneath it.For a moment, she was tempted to ask more questions. But in the end, she let it go. Gildeon was already pushing for them to leave, and she didn’t want to press the matter.By the time they reached the main town, the plaza was already buzzing with activity. Food stalls were being set up, the scent of sweets and fried snacks drifting through the air. Tourists and locals filled the streets

307 - Things Might Be Different Now

ARAHToday was Caylao Island’s festival. Arah slipped into the pretty blue summer dress she’d bought the week before. Cora had been teasing her lately, saying she was glowing, and honestly, she kind of believed it. She’d been feeling genuinely happy and at peace these past few days. Every morning, she woke up without the looming dread of threats... or the fear that Gildeon might shatter her heart.As she stood in front of the mirror, there were moments when she’d catch faint flickers of her blue sigils surfacing across her skin and face. They shimmered softly, and for once, she didn’t feel the need to hide them. She smiled at her reflection, quietly admiring how beautiful her sylph form truly was.Feviel’s words echoed faintly in her mind. That soon, she’d finally remember everything. Her sigils showing up from time to time—was this the sign?She wasn’t sure she wanted that anymore. Li

308 - On Ice And Fire

GILDEONSince they reached her studio, they hadn’t stopped kissing. The door had barely slammed shut before he had her pinned against it, mouths crashing, teeth knocking, both of them laughing into the kiss like they were drunk on each other. By the time they stumbled deeper inside, he’d already ripped his glasses off and flung them somewhere toward her worktable. Arah reached back with one hand, fingers finding the small of her skull, and slid the sigil needle free.Her blue curls spilled down in a wild, messy cascade over her shoulders, and something in his chest tightened hard.“The blinds,” she breathed against his mouth.They broke apart just long enough to fumble their way to the windows, hands tangling as they yanked the cords and dragged the blinds down in jerky motions. Outside, the distant noise of the festivity rolled in—music, voices, the muffled promise of fireworks—but in here they didn’t bother with the lights. The studio s

309 - The Awakening

GILDEONHe rose as she slowly drifted down from that peak, hands sure on her body.By the time he stood, shrugging out of his clothes, she was still hovering a few inches off the floor, dress hanging in tatters from her shoulders, hair wild and glowing at the edges. It was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.“Arah,” he murmured, almost to himself.He stepped in close, hands catching her hips.She was hot and slick and ready for him, her thighs automatically parting to welcome him. He guided himself to her and pushed in with a low, guttural groan, her tight heat clamping around him like she was made for him and no one else.Her head snapped back, a sharp cry tearing from her throat.He set his feet and drove into her, using his grip on her hips to pull her down onto him, his thrusts deep and steady. Each movement sent another jolt of pleasure and power through his spine. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and

310 - You Leave Us No Choice

GILDEONHis eyes went wide, pulse punching hard against his ribs.He’d always known this was a possibility. Some part of him had been waiting for it, braced for it. But he’d still hope it wouldn’t happen. Tonight, his guard had been down in the worst possible way.Multiple platoons. A full company at least. Probably more hidden beyond the reach of his eyes. The fact that this many salamanders were standing on open sand, in front of lower mortals, told Gildeon they weren’t fucking around about taking Arah at all costs.From the corner of his eye, he saw Yadira and Eitan shoot up from their seats, chairs clattering to the sand. Their shocked gazes snapped from the salamander line straight to him, waiting for orders.“I don’t get it,” Arah murmured beside him, fingers digging into his arm. “I thought the portal was intact.”“I sent Ghulik there days ago to make sure it
