What Chapter Do Rowan And Aelin Kiss Novels & Stories

] I managed a smile though I knew he could tell I was feeling low-- I wanted Al to show up but I knew there was little possibility. Rachel didn't come after us. Actually, no one dared approach us. Though Kirsch told the pack I was just "accidentally" poisoned on the new moon, the power of the "curse" was enough to repeal everyone. A talk from the Alpha was still less powerless than a drama rose by Natasha. Especially when Kirsch could provide little convincing evidence about his mysterious wounds though he blamed that on rogues. I walked at a slow pace, not sure where I was going, but I was too anxious to sit down. Before I realized it, I had already taken us to the tree by the river where I

Alpha Kael still stood on the opposite end, but now his eyes narrowed slightly, as if considering something dangerous. And then he moved. Thessaly gave me a warning look, but it was too late. Alpha Kael walks directly toward me, not once looking away, and when he reached me, he offered his hand in that formal, almost ancient way. “Rowan,” he said, his voice low enough that it vibrated in my bones. “Would you honor me with a dance?” Cassian opens his mouth to protest, but Thessaly dragged him away before he could make it worse.

Aurora's POV My heart sank seeing the position they were locked in, my husband Elijah and my sister Indigo were locked in an intimate embrace. Indigo was sitting on the desk, her legs wrapped around Elijah's waist and they were both naked. “I finally get to have you in the room alone,” It sounded like torture hearing Indigo moan out those words. “I have missed you,” I clenched my fist so hard. Indigo's eyes met mine or maybe it was just my imagination, she smiled, “I love you,” she kissed him on the lips.

Jaylene Rowan gave a resounding clap with each calculated step he took forward, his gaze dark and not derailing from the scene before him. Cain slowly turned around at the sound, his feet dragging against the luxurious red carpet, his breath quickening at the sight of Rowan. Something hopeful flickered in his expression as he walked toward Rowan, “You are here, Rowan.” He is immediately stopped by Elias who stepped forward in front of Rowan, pointing a gun at Cain’s forehead, giving him a clear signal to not approach the Alpha or take another step forward.

Hopefully, nobody else in the group notices our little stare contest. “No, I believe they met earlier when Raven went for a run earlier” Haile answers and I freeze. Alpha Max’s eyes shoot to hers and if my cheeks weren’t red before they sure are now. I turn around biting the inside of my cheeks, keeping my head held up. I glance at Hailey, who is smirking and winks at me and I relax a little. I’m still embarrassed but at least she doesn’t hate me. I look up at Alpha Max, who is glaring at Hailey and her smirk turns into a full-blown smile. They are obviously having a private discussion.

“Or what Mira said?” “Neither,” I whispered. Lie. He stepped closer. I stepped back. The wall met my spine. My pulse thundered. His scent wrapped around me, warm and overwhelming. Our breaths mingled. Our bond pulsed—slow, electric, unmistakable. Kael’s voice dropped to a whisper. “Alia…” He leaned in slightly. My eyes fluttered shut— Then a sharp voice cut through the air. “Well. Isn’t this cozy?” My eyes snapped open.

Shutting my eyes, I tried to force my ranting brain to fall asleep. It just won't. I turned to the other side of the bed and snuggled in. My phone beeped again. Who was it? I picked it up with tired eyes. -IGNORING ME, AREN'T YOU?- “Fuck.” I swore. It was a text from that bastard. Rowen Regnald. What the fuck does he wants from me again? Didn't he have enough fun toying with me? -YOU CAN HAVE THE GIRL- I texted back.

The world narrowed to the sound of their hearts and the heat that refused to die. She didn’t answer with words. She simply leaned forward, closing the space between them. The kiss was not soft; it was survival. Their pain met their need, their exhaustion met their defiance. Every breath was a promise unspoken — that neither would yield, not to the Council, not to fate. When they finally broke apart, the world had changed again. Dawn had turned the window glass into gold. Smoke still rose beyond the fortress walls, but for the first time, Elaria saw the faint shimmer of light piercing through it.

The way her gaze lingered on me, even for a moment, sent a spike of fire through me. The bond pulsed, sharp and insistent, reminding me she was mine, but also that she could feel everything I felt, could sense every strain, every flare of frustration, every beat of my heart under stress. A hand brushed my shoulder—Rowan, who had remained nearby since the allied pack’s visit. His eyes met mine briefly, cool, unreadable. I didn’t lower my guard. Not even for a second. “Kael! Enough hesitation!” Darius bellowed. “Focus! Now!”
