Chapter 61Azara.A bitter scoff left my lips as I burst into a peal of painful laughter with my head thrown backward. She would never cease to amaze me. “Once a mirror is shattered, it can never be whole again,” I replied, my voice sharp like pieces of glass, cutting through her racing heart. “No matter what you do to prove your loyalty to me, I will never trust you because you broke it. I will never see you the same way. You will always remain in my memory as the green snake under the green grass.”She swallowed the bile in her throat, biting her trembling lips painfully while looking away as regret cloaked her like a garment. “I want to atone for my sins, Azalea. I need you to believe me when I say I've changed. I'm no longer the image you paint me in your mind. This is me coming out of my shell, telling you that I want to rewrite my past, amend my mistakes, and start afresh with you again.” “Talk is cheap, Tatiana. I am not moved by mere words anymore,” I responded adamantly,

Chapter 63Asael.My breath hitched at the thought of my actions, making me jerk away from her. I pulled away instantly as if she were a hot coal, expanding the distance between us. Why the fuck was I suddenly leaning for a mere kiss?Why the hell was I craving her? This wasn't me. Something was driving me insane. Azalea was driving me insane. What happened to the ice king whose heart was as rigid as a stone? What happened to the rules of shutting down emotions that I lived by all my life?! For over twenty years of my existence, I never gave in to emotions. All my life, I applied force–when I wanted something, I wouldn't relent until it was in my possession. The consequences didn't matter to me. Whoever was at a loss was collateral damage…until this moment…I thought I had conquered it and buried it. I thought I was immune to any form of emotion. Emotions were a gateway to weakness and vulnerability. Weaknesses led to death– shameful and pathetic. Emotions were pathetic.

Chapter 65Azara.“Thank you, Alpha, but this is…too much.” My lips parted in gratitude. “This is more than I ever imagined.” An overwhelming sensation enveloped me as I was lost for words. My widened eyes remained fixated on his icy ones, expecting a flicker of emotion, but I was met with a cold blank stare. Tearing his rigid gaze off me, he turned to leave, slamming the door behind him gently. I was alone once more, drowning in my thoughts as his words replayed repeatedly in my head. Was I certain it was really Asael or had he been switched? What forces possessed his body? His ruthlessness and cruelty hurt like poison, but I had grown accustomed to it. None of it bothered me. Not the hate, not the flicker of irritation that blanketed him at my presence. But his sudden extent of kindness sent jolts of dread within me.It was unexpected and overwhelming. I didn't know how to receive it. I couldn't help but feel skeptical. Asael’s hatred for me was worn on a sleeve. He never h

Chapter 67Azara. My heart somersaulted as fear seized the breath in my lungs the moment I caught sight of Giselle's long, sharp canines glistening under the golden glows of the chandeliers. Pure rage radiated off her in thick waves, sending chills rushing throughout my body. Goosebumps blanketed my skin as her venomous stare landed on me.Terrified, my hands grabbed Alaric's large arm as I clung to him like a second skin, my eyes begging him to protect me from her. “Don't worry, I won't let her hurt you,” his assuring voice was like a soothing balm to my troubled heart. It was enough to convince me that Giselle had no power over me. His large arm wrapped around my waist like a shield as I burrowed into his skin. The sight almost sent Giselle insane with anger. “Do you have a death wish? How dare you challenge me?” The ground shook underneath my feet as Arien growled dominantly, subduing Giselle, but it was not enough to quell the furnace spreading inside her like wildfire. Muf

For the first time, the fear that lingered in Giselle's eyes was tangible, shaking her to her core. Her chest rose and fell as the sharp claws of terror tore through her from within. The pounding of her heart against her ribs was so loud that it filled my ears, permeating the thick silence. Her breaths grew sharp and erratic with each passing second as droplets of sweat gathered on her forehead. Shifting uncomfortably, she slid her trembling hands into the gathers of her large skirt with eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. “How dare you!”I could swear those were the silent threats she muttered at Tatiana as I tried reading her lips. But instead of cowering in fear, she remained rooted, her brown eyes sinking into Giselle's unforgiven ones without blinking. I needed no soothsayer to tell me the cruel punishment she had in store for Ta
