CHAPTER 2 - CAST OUTFather!” I shouted, rushing from searching my room. My whole body was in chaos. My hands would not stop quivering. My voice not sounding the way they used to got loud, it bounced off the walls.He was already standing by the table, where the candle burned really low. He kept a hard face, darker than the shadows around him. His eyes were keen, like he didn’t even know me. His arms folded tight.“Lena,” he said. Just my name. Cold.His eyes narrowed more. “Where were you last night?”I froze. I opened my mouth, stayed silent. Then I whispered, “At Emori’s. I stayed there.”His jaw set hard. His voice turned sharp. “You shouldn’t have. Don’t go running to others. Leave me alone, Lena.”As if the whole was was turning against me with the words I keep hearing from the people I love. I held onto his arm like I would fall apart without it. “Why is this happening to me?”Tell me! That fire—what was it? I didn’t mean to do any of what I did yesterday night.I don’t even kno

CHAPTER 4 – SPARKS IN THE DARKKael pushed gently aside a curtain of vines, revealing a snug little den nestled into the side of the cliff. It wasn’t what I expected. The stone walls gleamed faint from embers in the hearth. A shelf carved right into the rock held jars and bundles of herbs, neatly tied. Furs and old blankets were layered in one corner, not thrown but stacked in surprising care.I could not stop staring. “This is yours?”Kael took a quick look over his shoulder, the faintiest smile pulling at his mouth. “What, expecting a hole in the ground?”“Well…” I laughed softly. “Something like that. This is… it’s nice. Cozy.”“Cozy,” he repeated, shaking his head. “That’s a new one. You coming in or not?”I stepped inside. The warmth hit me first, then the strange comfort of it. This place didn’t look like a rogue's. It looked like someone who wanted to live, not just only survival.Kael grabbed a folded sheet from a pile and tossed it toward me. “For you.”I caught it, a little

“What did you remember?” I blurted. My voice cracked and it sounded too loud in the quiet cave. The atmosphere was so cold and I could barely breathe. The fire that was set at the training ground, was the only thing that kept me warm as the fire popped gradually.Kael’s face looked strange. His silver eyes were shiny but not in a nice way. I don’t like that. “Kael,” I said again, my voice squeaky, “please talk to me. What did you mean?” He finally said it, real slow. “I remember who I am.” in a low voice.Then nothing. Just silence. My ears buzzed like after a shout. I pulled my knees up and bit my lip.Kael stood up so fast I flinched. He started walking back and forth, his boots scraping the dirt, his shoulders tight like he might break. “Kael,” I whispered, “you’re scaring me.”He stopped and stared into the fire for forever. Then he said it like it hurt. “I was a king.”My heart thudded. “A… king?” My voice sounded tiny.He turned toward me. His silver eyes glowed and I swear th
