He is a very egoistic person. He was being back to reality by Sapphire's scream. “ Why are you not saying anything? Won't you talk to me? " She asked sadly. “You want to avoid being my friend?” she asked again. Her lashes were getting wet by the unshed tears. Rowan rushed towards her and turn her around“ hey, hey, don't cry, my cute little rabbit. " He calms her. She looked at him with a pout and wrap her arms around his waist and kept her head on his chest. Rowan frozen as it is the first time they are hugging properly and that too initiated by his rabbit. He felt overwhelmed and in peace. She is his peace.

"You promised, remember? Back before all of this started." Rowan hesitated, old vulnerability crossing his features, before finally handing the book over. Aurelia paged through carefully rendered landscapes — mountain ranges she didn't recognize, quiet forest clearings, a handful of rough portrait studies that included, she realized with a soft jolt, an unmistakable sketch of her own face, drawn with measured, tender attention to detail. "When did you draw this?" "The night after the summit attack," he admitted, color rising in his cheeks. "I couldn't stop thinking about you. Drawing helped me process it, I think. Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to keep looking at your face a little longer.

he breathed, his voice cracked with emotion, “goddess… you are real.” A tear slipped down my cheek. I didn’t even know why. Maybe because, this, him, this bond, this warmth, felt like something I had prayed for in another lifetime. Something I never thought someone like me would ever have. Rowan cleared his throat loudly. “Well,” he announced, clapping, “if anyone needs me, I’ll just be...oh I don’t know...quietly sobbing into a tree because romance is alive and well.” Fenric didn’t even look away from me, though a tiny smile ghosted across his mouth.

They thought I was being dragged to the slaughter. But as I reached the altar steps, Rowan extended his large, scarred hand toward me. I didn't hesitate. I placed my small, pale hand in his, and the moment his calloused palm closed over my skin, a violent jolt of liquid heat shot straight down my spine, pooling heavy and thick in my lower belly. The safety of his shadow swallowed me whole, erasing the whispers, the Council, and the ghost of the boy who had discarded me.

"What are you talking about?" Sarah’s fingers hovered over her keyboard. A strange feeling settled in her gut. "What news?" she asked warily. Instead of answering, Olivia reached over and tapped the screen. "See for yourself." Sarah’s heart pounded as she opened her browser. And then she froze. There, plastered across the screen, was a headline that made her stomach lurch. BREAKING NEWS: JAMES TURNER AND CHLOE HARRISON – A SECRET ROMANCE EXPOSED Beneath it were photos. Pictures of James and Chloe, her best friend, wrapped in each other’s arms. Laughing. Kissing. Whispering in each other’s ears like they were the only two people in the world.

“Alia, I won’t tell you that you must forget the past, and I won’t ask you to love me right away. I only want you to know that with me, you will never be the backup choice.” “You are the treasure I waited two lives for.” Heat gathered behind my eyes. In the distance, Frostfang wolves began chanting a low hymn to the moon goddess. Snow fell into the firelight and dissolved into silver mist. I stepped closer to Rowan and wrapped my arms around him first. “Rowan.” “Yes?” “I think I must be very lucky,” I whispered. “After losing someone who wasn’t worth keeping, I still got to meet someone as good as you.” Rowan lowered his head and kissed my hair. “It isn’t luck.”

*Aria* The worst part was that I couldn’t say she was wrong. Not about the knot. Not about the blood. Not about how tangled we all were. It made me want to claw my own skin off. The cabin was too small. Too full. Too quiet. After Elyra’s little show‑and‑tell, no one knew what to say. Rowan stared at the floor like he’d just watched his entire library burn. Rhea looked like she was torn between vomiting and stabbing something.

"...Chloe?" His voice came out raw, like he hadn't had water in days. I frowned. My eyes dropped to the sorry state of his right hand. Rowan tried to smile, and tucked the hand behind his back. "Small accident. Some of the nerves are gone. I won't pick up a brush again." Something inside me dropped. Rowan Ellsworth had been an old classmate from college, a few years ahead of me at Pier Cove University. He'd been the star of the architecture program.

Rowan was drawing lines on my smooth back, his hands lowering until he finally cupped my butt, squeezing it harshly, eliciting a sharp draw of breath from me, this made me rub myself against him. “You're insatiable, just like me. I knew you'd want more.” Rowan said, his voice slurry as if drunk, his finger tracing gentle patterns on my chest. “Now so do I. I also want more too,” he said with a glint in his bioeyes, his hands releasing me as he climbed over me, kneeling on the bed with his legs on either side. He leaned over me, his eyes sparkling with excitement and something sinister, his finger still drawing gentle lines on my skin.

he said "let's talk about that much much later. How have you been?" And we kept talking. I think that was the longest call duration of my life and I was beaming with smiles all through. I glanced out of my window and just like that evening we'd first met, there was a beautiful illusion of the rainbow on the evening sky. This, could mean something for us. This could be our beginning; The beginning of the beginning. THE END.
