the grand duke reassured Elen, taking her hand and fastening the necklace around her neck. Elen examined the necklace carefully. The pendant, in the shape of a teardrop, was made of high-quality diamond, and she could feel the power emanating from it. It was simple yet elegant, and the weight of the pendant brought her a sense of comfort as she grasped it, finding relief in the protection it seemed to promise. "Thank you, Grand Duke. This means a lot to me," Elen expressed her gratitude, her voice filled with relief as she felt the comforting weight of the necklace.

“Until you let me change that ring for a diamond one.” I stared at him blankly. One person started laughing, and then more and more people joined in. It was pretty clear to everyone else but me what he was talking about. “An engagement ring, Elodie.” Jax said each word slowly, his eyes never leaving my face. “Or a wedding band.” ***The End of book 1!! Book 2 and Dion and Lola's story is up next ***

Her voice trembled as she described it, but my pulse only hammered harder. When she faltered, I stepped closer, murmuring, “Go on.” She shook her head. “That’s all I..” “Elara,” Thorne said gently. “Think. Anything else? Any detail you can hold onto?” Her brows furrowed, lips parting as though she were pulling the memory out piece by piece. Then, finally, her eyes widened. “There was a ring,” she whispered. “The calm woman kept touching it as she spoke. It looked… strange. Like a wolf eating its own tail, the way it wrapped around her finger.”

They cheer and weep and call me saint and savior and bride. I stare straight ahead. The roses look like splashes of blood against the snow. At the northern gate waits a second cage-wagon, larger, drawn by eight black horses that steam and stamp. The bars are carved with runes that hurt to look at. Eldorian emissaries stand beside it (tall, pale, armor like liquid night, eyes glowing faint violet). Their skin is marked with moving runes that crawl like living tattoos. One steps forward (female, wings like fractured glass folded against her back).

Her nails ached, and she shoved her hands under the table, scared of what they might become. The library door swung open, and a familiar figure stepped in—Elara, the seer from the woods. Her dark hair was pulled back, her green eyes glowing faintly in the dim light, her silver pendant glinting with a crescent moon etched in runes. She moved toward them, her presence quiet but heavy, like she carried secrets older than the school itself.

Her fingers brushed against cold metal. She picked it up. It was an earring. A long, cascading drop of platinum and diamonds. It caught the light from the hallway, sparkling with a cruel, expensive fire. Vespera stared at it. It wasn't hers. She didn't own diamonds. Her wedding ring was a plain band because Lysander said jewelry was a "frivolous expense." She knew this earring. She had seen it swinging from a lobe just ten minutes ago. Elara.

Progress? Before they left, Elias pressed a smaller package into my hands. Inside, a small metal disk burnished smooth and engraved with Emberbound sigils. The Circle crest on one side. One name on the other. Draven. Not Asset 23. Just Draven. I flipped it in my hand once, then placed it delicately in the drawer beside the hearth, next to the hollowed-out sigil box and hanging cape. Names mattered. But this one no longer felt like a weight.

) Elara The gold weighed three and a half pounds and it had bought me nothing, and I'd been sitting on the edge of the bed working that out for the better part of an hour. I'd taken it out of the lining where I'd sewn it and laid the whole of it on the fur in front of me, the chains and the bracelets thick enough to chain a door and the rings with the red stones, and in the lamplight it looked like exactly what it was. A way out with no door on the far side.

The outer ring gave under the second push. Kai drove through the broken delay line with Malinda on his left and two veterans clearing the angle ahead. Smoke and blood thicked the air, but under it he caught something that stopped every other scent cold. Elara. It wasn't the bond open but something rawer. Her blood and with it a wrongness like old metal and forced ritual, thick enough to turn his stomach. “She is close,” he said. Malinda cut down a runner trying to flee inward. “How close?”

The silhouettes of two phantoms loomed over them, covering the glistening southern sun, making it harder for the both of them to see the colors of their fiery eyes ‘Stay behind me, my friend,’ said Gelong through their shared mind link. On cue, Gelong stepped forward and roared. But Diana merely rolled her eyes before she stepped forward as well. One flick of her left hand, a gigantic ring made of crimson flame which was not harmful for the elves surrounded Diana and Gelong like a protective barrier. With this, Diana marked her territory – announcing for the newly arrived unwelcomed guests that within the ring of fire was off limits for them, if they ever used their brains.
