REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS
Catya and Klaus offered their congratulations, though Klaus’s eyes were sharp as steel when he looked at Raul—like a reminder that his warning still stood: hurt her, and you’ll answer to me.
I sat at the family table, my glass of wine untouched, just… watching. Watching Raul and Kezziah dance their first dance as husband and wife. Watching my mother laugh with Zilla. Watching Daniel talk with the order’s elders, his eyes still flicking to me every so often like a silent tether.
At one point, Kezziah came to me, her cheeks flushed, her hand in Raul’s. “Mom,” she said, her voice trembling with happiness, “thank you for standing by me even when it was hard.”
