110. Let me go

Rowan's POV I rose to my feet, my body screaming in protest. Every muscle felt like it was being torn apart, my veins pulsing with a darkness that was slowly consuming me.Without Elara, without that connection, I was dying.I stumbled across the room, gripping the edge of the desk to steady myself. My reflection in the window showed a man I barely recognized. My skin was pale, my eyes sunken, and those black veins crawling up my arms were spreading faster now.I needed her. I needed Elara back. She was my drug, my entire existence.I made my way down the hallway, my footsteps heavy and uneven, until I reached Iris's room.I pressed my palm against the panel, feeling the lock click open. The door swung inward, and I stepped inside, letting it close behind me with a dull thud.The room was dark, the only light coming from a small window high on the wall.And there, in the corner, curled up like a broken doll, was her.I leaned against the wall, watching her chest rise and fall in slo

111. Tears of regret

Iris's POVTears ran down my eyes as I curled my body tighter, my fists forming into tight balls as my body trembled. The stench coming out of my body no longer disturbed my nose. It had been weeks since I'd had a proper bath. Maybe longer. Time had lost all meaning in this place.All I did was lay here and cry, wishing I had made a better choice.My mind drifted back, against my will, to a time when things were different. When I was happy and in love.When I was free.I remembered when Rowan and I were dating. We were so happy back then. He made me laugh. He made me feel special. I thought I could trust him with anything, with everything. I even gave up on ever finding my mate because I thought I wouldn't be able to give up Rowan for any other man, not even the moon goddess could take me away from him.So I told him about my lineage. About having a drop of the goddess's powers.I'd been so stupid.He'd listened, his eyes lighting up with interest as I explained how my family had car

112. Ridiculously in love

Kael's POVI woke up to the weight of warmth pressed against my chest, the soft scent of jasmine and forest earth after rain filling my lungs.Elara.She was tangled around me like a vine, her legs intertwined with mine, her face buried in the crook of my neck. Her breathing was steady, soft, peaceful.I didn't move.I just watched her.The way her lashes rested against her cheeks. The way her lips parted slightly as she breathed. The way her hair spilled across my arm like silk.My lips twitched as I tried to take in her beauty. Even in sleep, she was stunning. No, stunning didn't do her justice. She was breathtaking. Captivating. Ours.She'd fallen asleep almost immediately last night after we'd all showered together. The exhaustion from everything that had happened had finally caught up to her, and she'd collapsed into bed without a word.Draven and I had stayed up a little longer, watching her sleep, making sure she was okay.Now, with the morning light filtering through the curta

Draven's POV"Draven," Kael warned, his voice low. "Stop talking."I couldn't.The words kept pouring out, fueled by the terror that had gripped me the moment I saw her bleeding, shaking, tears streaking down her face."You don't get it, do you?" I said, my voice rising. "We've been searching for you our entire lives. Do you know what it would do to us if we lost you now? If we'd spent all this time looking for our mate only to have her ripped away because she couldn't stay put? It gets worse after finding our queen and losing her. We'd be fucking misera—""Draven—" Kael started, but I cut him off."No," I snapped. "She needs to hear this. She needs to understand that we can't keep throwing herself into danger. She won''t be lucky every time."Elara's face crumpled, fresh tears streaming down her cheeks."It's not my fault," she said, her voice breaking. "I can't just sit here while you both risk your lives for me. This is my mess, Draven. I created it, and I should also try to fix i

114.

Elara's POVI stood there, staring at the door they'd just walked through, my chest heaving with a mixture of rage and guilt.How dare he.How dare Draven blame me for all of this, as if I'd asked Rowan to become a psycho stalker, as if I'd wanted any of this to happen.But even as the anger burned through me, another feeling crept in.Guilt.Because he was right, wasn't he?If I hadn't run to Rowan's place, if I hadn't left the house that day, none of this would have happened. They wouldn't have had to worry about me, wouldn't have had to risk their lives to save me over and over again.I pressed a hand to my chest, the weight of it crushing. I didn't mean to hurt them.I just wanted to help, wanted to do something instead of sitting here like some damsel in distress while they handled everything.I wanted it to end.I pulled out my phone with shaking hands and dialed Clara's number.She picked up on the second ring."El, baby? Are you okay? I saw the news about the company opening a

115.

Draven's POVThe moments the shot was heard, I was already moving.Behind me I heard Kael hit the ground beside Josh, his voice dropping to something low. I heard him bark orders at the security detail. I heard the sharp intake of breath from one of the doormen. They all knew Josh. He was their former boss.I rushed into my car and I drove.The car was already three blocks ahead by the time I hit the first intersection, and I pushed the accelerator to the floor. A delivery truck lurched out of a side road and I swung the wheel hard, clearing it by nothing, straightening out and pressing harder, my eyes fixed on the car ahead.'Draven.' Kael's voice arrived in my head. 'Come back. Josh needs—''No.''Draven, I need you here—''Handle it. You know what to do. I said that I wouldn't let it go if this ever happened again.'He paused. He didn't try again. He knew me well enough to know that nothing he said right now was going to reach the part of me that was still capable of listening.Th

Clara's POV My coffee had gone lukewarm by the time Elara finally got to the part about the training ground and I sat up straighter on the couch, tucking my feet under me."Wait, wait, wait," I said. "Back up. She just walked up and decided she wanted to spar with you herself? Out of all the people there?""Out of all the people there," Elara confirmed."And she insulted you.""And hit me.""In front of everyone."A pause."Clara.""I'm just clarifying the facts," I said, setting my mug down on the coffee table before I dropped it. "So this woman, this Hara, with her little superiority complex, decided that the best welcome she could give you was a smack to the head?""She called it a lesson.""I'll give her a lesson." I pressed my back teeth together. "I will fly out there and give her a full curriculum. I will teach her things about herself she never knew."Elara laughed on the other end and even though I could hear that she was tired, it was a real laugh, and that settled me down

117.

Elara's POV I turned toward the voice. She was stunning. Black hair that fell past her shoulders in a glossy sheet, lips full and curved into something that wasn't quite a smile, and eyes that dragged over me like I was something she'd already decided wasn't worth her time.She was tall. Built lean with muscle that showed even through her fitted training gear, and she carried herself like she knew exactly how dangerous she was."Hara," Prisca said, her voice measured.Hara didn't acknowledge her. She walked straight toward me, stopping so close."So this is what all the fuss is about," she said, looking me up and down with her arms folded. "The kings drag an outsider onto our training grounds and everyone is supposed to act like it's normal."I opened my mouth."I'm not exactly an outsider," I said carefully.Hara's lips curved into a slow, condescending smile."Right," she said. "You seduced them both, didn't you? Got them wrapped around your fingers and now you want to collect both

118.

Kael's POV She chuckled, though the sound was weak."Why are you laughing?" I asked, a smile tugging at my lips despite the worry churning in my chest."I'm so happy to see you again." Her voice was soft, but the warmth in her eyes made my heart clench.I moved closer, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Draven's in the bathroom," she said.I reached out, cupping her face gently, careful not to touch any of the bandages. "I missed you so much, baby," I said, my voice low. "I thought I'd lost you.""You didn't." She leaned into my touch, her eyes closing for a moment. "You never will."I kissed her then, soft and slow, pouring every ounce of fear, relief, and love into it. Her lips were warm, and when she sighed against me, something inside me settled."Don't ever do that again," I muttered against her mouth. "Don't leave like that. Not without us.""I didn't leave," she whispered. "I was taken.""You shouldn't go to Rowan alone. I'm sorry we didn't tell you what happened, but this is w

119.

Elara's POV "Leave?" I repeated, my voice cracking slightly. "What do you mean, leave?"My chest tightened, and my mind immediately went to the worst possible place. Had I done something wrong? Was I too much of a burden? Did they regret bringing me to their home?"Did I do something?" I asked, hating how small my voice sounded. "Is it because of what Rowan is doing? I know it's a lot but we can—""No, baby," Kael interrupted, his voice firm. "That's not it. It could never be.""Then what is it?" I demanded, my voice rising. "Why are you suddenly asking me to leave?"Draven's jaw tightened, and he glanced at Kael before taking my hand."Come on," he said quietly. "Let's go upstairs."I wanted to argue, to demand answers right there, but something in his tone stopped me. I nodded, letting him lead me up the stairs. Kael followed close behind, his presence, heavy at my back.When we reached their room, Draven closed the door behind us, and I turned to face them, crossing my arms over
