Chapter 88
I tried not to marvel too much at what happened this morning, but a faint glow clung to me along with the thin sheen of sweat coating my body. Every time I thought about it, my stomach fluttered and I grew uncomfortably warm. We had half an hour to settle in each other’s arms, leaving heated touches and devouring one another with our lips.
I took that time to realize my feelings towards Atlas had changed. We were growing closer, and forgiveness had completely slipped from my mind. What happened in the past, it could only hurt me if I allowed it. Mistakes are an inevitable curse in life, always harming those on the outside, but I wouldn’t let it hurt me anymore.
We stayed in bed as long as we could before finally getting dressed for the day. While I slipped on a pair of tight-fitting pants, and a snug top cropped above my belly button, I told Atlas about the dream I had last night.
“Normally, I’d be skeptical, but this place is unpredictab

“I’ve heard that the powers of High Lord are usually passed down to the men in the family, is that not true?” I asked Alette and Adelina, “You both seem so sure that the only options are Adelina and Aralia, but what about Alette or Atlas?” “Becoming High Lady is not my fate, that much I know.” Alette sighed, the corners of her blush-colored lips tilting downwards. “The power does favor males, but I’ve seen every outcome. In every single one, either Aralia or I are named High Lady.” Adelina frowned; her sapphire eyes turned to Atlas. “In some, you stood by her side. You even tried to kill her in a few, but you only succeeded in one. You died, but valiantly.” My stomach soured a bit at the mention of Atlas dying, and I reached over to grab his hand in my own. The mere thought of Atlas being killed—it felt like I was fading away as well. “The future changes constantly. Last minute decisions can completely alter how things turn out.” Alette shrugged, deli

“Are you concentrating, kitten?” Atlas mused his voice thick with entertainment.I reminded myself for the thirtieth time to ignore him and focus on the task Adelina gave me. It was going horribly, and Atlas found endless amusement in my outbursts and momentary losses in temper.Atlas had already connected with water, and Alette had been coaching him on how to truly manipulate the magic surrounding his element. Apparently, we all had our own magical signature. The way one wove the threads of magic was totally unique. I longed for when I would finally connect with water and end this boring cycle.“You scrunch your nose when you concentrate, did you know that?” He smirked, and I willed myself to remain calm, to keep myself loose and relaxed. “I don’t mean to pry, but it’s just so very adorable.”Steam billowed from the pool of water I was hunched over, and a furious squeal left my lips when my concentration wa

She was walking our way when I noticed, and it was far too late to try and cover the look of surprise on my face. Her long ears twitched and her fingers came up to touch the thick braid of hair that hung over her shoulder.“Make yourselves comfortable.” She told the two of us, her voice both warm and soft. “The tailors will be here shortly.”“Tell me, are you related to the previous water nymph?” Atlas asked, with a tilt of his head. His towering height and deep voice made him horribly intimidating. The water nymph flushed, most likely from a bit of fear. It was a strange sight, considering her pale blue skin. Her blush seemed to turn her a few shades deeper, almost cerulean in color. “Or is there another reason you’re wearing her face?”“Oh—well, it was Adelina’s idea.” She sputtered, her personality far different from Melia’s. Whoever she was, she was flustered and a bit afraid

I could hear the pattering of their feet as they echoed down the hall, and had just enough time to turn to Adelina and voice the question burning in my mind.“How do you keep track of them throughout the entire castle?” I whispered hurriedly, “It can’t be easy, this place is near-endless.”“It took Alette nearly two years to master the magic that made it possible.” She murmured, not moving her eyes from the grate to meet my own.“And how are the enthusiastic Air Court brothers?” Aralia drawled slowly, “Clearly they failed the one purpose we had for them. How’s this next mission coming along?”“Cailean is as insufferable as ever, but he’s still on our side. I’ll snuff out any weakness once it rears it’s head. Cathan is a fucking joy as always, but I do suppose I prefer him over Cailean.” Tamara mused, her voice dripping with wicked amusement. “The mi

“Atlas?” I gasped, instinctively placing my hands on either side of his face.His skin was smooth and cold as ice, as pale as his glazed eyes. My fingertips ached as they grazed the stubble on his chin, and I swore I could see the faintest hint of steam.I grasped the magic that made me what I was, and used the sun to build a small fire within my gut. I let that fire grow, fueling it with thoughts of Atlas. The magic felt different this time. There was the usual warmth of the sun…but, there was something else. It felt radiant and pure, and vastly similar to all four elements. It warmed my skin, giving it a golden glow that was in complete opposition with Atlas’s silvery shine.“Can you hear me?” I whispered, keeping the palms of my hands flat against his face.There was no change. If anything, he seemed more detached than before.A second later, his frigid hands were clasped around my wrists. There was nothing g

A unique sort of pain coursed through me when Atlas’s throbbing length probed at my entrance. I remembered how my core clenched painfully at the sight of him. It was larger than I thought a normal male might be, but Atlas did have an unusually large build.As he slid inside of me, stretching me in a way I had never experienced, something came over me. It was more instinct than anything else, this urge that I needed to fulfill. Just as pain tore through my groin and stomach, I sank my teeth into the hollow of Atlas’s throat.“Fuck, kitten.” He hissed, drawing out the words through clenched teeth. He stiffened inside of me, waiting until I retracted my teeth from his flesh. A chuckle rumbled up his chest, and the lopsided smile that graced his face was nothing short of boy-ish. “Warn me if you’re going to do that next time, I nearly ended our fun early.”“I don’t know what came over me.” I admitted, whimp

“What do you mean you have no idea what’s going to happen next?” Alette groaned, brushing back her braided hair in frustration.“I’ve already told you. Out of all the outcomes I’ve seen, not a single one had them fully mated this early.” Adelina sighed, bored with her older sisters dramatics.We were all seated in the strange training room the siblings used for us. The tall arched windows gave us a gorgeous view of the valley below, which was now covered in colorful wildflowers. Now that the entire Water Court was in full-blown summer, it would be much easier for me to connect to the element. Apparently harnessing the power of ice was something only skilled Fae could accomplish. With how strongly I felt my connection towards fire, I wasn’t sure harnessing ice was something I’d ever master.The siblings had clearly been arguing this morning, judging from the snide glances and little comments. They were now dis

I sat in the sun for a few moments longer, enjoying the way it heated my skin and hair. Just a few days in the ice kingdom and I was ready for a little bit of warm weather.While the heat was comforting, it did nothing to chase away what gnawed at me. When I was searching for the next ruler of the Day court, there was a clear wall that kept me from going any further. Whether it be because of my connection, or another mystical reason, I knew that wall was the end of this realm, and the beginning of another.I remembered something I was once told, that the Earth and Fae realm are connected. While it made little to no sense, the future ruler had to be in the human realm.'How would a human be a useful ruler to the Fae?' Atlas's thoughts trickled into my own. 'How long could a human possibly survive in this realm? Nearly everything is out to kill you, and the Fae are immortal. What is sixty--maybe seventy years of ruling when you'll simply die shortly after? Seventy
