ARAH

She must’ve lost track of time again because the next thing she knew, she was back at the witches’ base, with Vienna helping her onto the couch. Voices and movement blurred around her—Drusden giving orders, the cloaked witch speaking through the guard’s voice. Lokius dabbed her face with a wet towel, and the beer guy pressed a glass of water into her hand.

Alaunus appeared last, arms full of supplies for healing and who knew what else. Part of her remembered he was the reason she’d tried to leave in the first place, but right now, she couldn’t bring herself to care. His pale blue eyes held concern—whether it was genuine or not, she couldn’t tell. She let him inspect her, barely registering the cut in her palm until she felt the familiar hum of energy from his fingertips.

Vienna sat beside her, murmuring softly as she worked through the tangles in her curls, cleaning the blood from it. The others moved and talked around Arah. She could hear them, but the words didn’t seem to reach

    ARAHShe padded toward the edge of the porch, her footsteps feather-light on the wooden planks as she strained to listen.“I can’t bear staying under the same roof as the enemy anymore,” Yadira said, her words stinging Arah’s chest. “The sooner the Captain gets his Awakening, the better.”Her breath caught. Awakening? Gildeon had never mentioned anything about that. What did it even mean? Was it like accessing the Dark Plane?“These things take time, Yadira,” Eitan replied.“How long?” the female lieutenant snapped. “Why isn’t it working yet? Captain said he’s already coupled with the sylph several times.”A flush crept up Arah’s neck. The word ‘coupled’ may have sounded clinical in Earthland, but the implication landed clearly. But why would Gildeon share stuff about their sex life with his comrades?“Even Capt

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   289 - In Another Life

    ARAHShe wanted to run after Mabel and explain herself, but Cora grabbed her arm, shaking her head.“Give her time,” she said. “What you told her isn’t something she’s going to believe right away. Besides, you just admitted to making her a widow on her wedding night.”Arah sighed, clutching her collarbone as she watched Mabel storm off through the window.“Gotta give it to you,” Cora said. “I didn’t think you’d actually say it to her.”Arah sank into the couch. “I didn’t want to lie. And honestly, I wanted to see how she’d react. I needed that.”Cora sat beside her. “You’re planning to alter her memories, aren’t you?”Hearing it out loud made her stomach twist. She looked down and gave a small nod, shame creeping in. She had hurt their friend, knowing full well she could just erase it afterward.Cora exhaled deeply and leaned back into the couch. “It’s a shitty thing to do, I’ll tell you that,” she said. “I sti

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   288 - Deserved Even Worse Punishment

    ARAHThey’d been productive over the past several days. Gildeon had been training her, Yadira, and Eitan in combat. They didn’t know exactly when Commander Haemos’s forces would arrive, but they had to be ready for anything. Ghulik was still in hibernation, and Roselia was still abroad, so for now, they only had each other to rely on.At the same time, they were helping the two lieutenants adapt to human life. Both Eitan and Yadira had deserted and would be branded traitors back in Shamibar. Staying on Earthland was their safest option now. And if they were going to live here long-term, they had to learn how to navigate the world of lower mortals.Eitan had picked things up fast. He was always eager, always curious. Everything blew his mind—TVs, coffee makers, smartphones... He called it all human magic, and said it was more impressive than the kind the higher mortals possessed.Arah had to agree. Most of the magic sylphs and salama

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   287 - Those Who Break Earthland's Laws

    MABELAlmost two weeks had passed, and there was still no news about her husband. Part of her thought the police were just incompetent—not doing their jobs properly, wasting the taxes people worked so hard to pay. But another part of her felt relieved that he hadn’t been found yet. The thought of Nick in jail, sentenced to life for murdering their helper... that would destroy her.Someone knocked at her door, but she didn’t move an inch from the bed. Her eyes were fixed on her mom’s garden outside the window, watching a butterfly flutter in and out of the sunflowers and gumamela.“Mabel, how long are you going to stay locked up in there?” her mom called. “You’ve got to eat at least.”She didn’t respond. Instead, she curled up tighter and cried into one of Nick’s shirts which still smelled like his cologne. Her gaze fell to her wedding ring—her beautiful, shiny ring. All she’d ever dreamed about, since she was a little girl, was to marry a

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   286 - New To Earthland

    ARAHShe understood why Mabel had kept her husband hidden, instead of running away from him or turning him in to people who could help. Arah had known that ever since she’d spoken with Nick. They loved each other so deeply that the thought of being apart might’ve destroyed them more than anything else ever could.Guilt bloomed in her chest, knowing she'd caused all of this. The only thing keeping her together were Gildeon’s words. In the middle of her self-blame, his voice reminded her that this wasn’t what she’d meant to happen. She hadn’t wanted this. She hadn’t expected it to end this way. There were still so many things she was naive about.Still, she would carry her friend’s grief like it was her own. She would never forget what she’d done. And she would carry Nick’s memory with her for the rest of her life.She and Gildeon had already agreed on what they’d tell Mabel. It wasn’t

    GILDEONHe swung his arm up just in time to block Nick’s snapping jaws. The guy’s teeth elongated into fangs, sinking deep into his flesh until hot blood ran down his skin. The sudden burst of inhuman strength knocked him off balance, slamming his back hard against the cold floor.Mabel’s cries rang in his ears as she begged her husband to stop, but Nick was gone—no longer a man, only a predator enslaved by hunger.Gildeon couldn’t shift. Not with Mabel here. Watching her husband mutate before her eyes was already shattering her world.Seeing Gildeon in dragon form might finish her.Arah understood. She dragged Mabel toward the stairs, whispering to calm her. The moment they disappeared, Gildeon let the change take him. His arms rippled, scales tearing through his skin, crushing the lodged fangs in an instant. Heat surged down his body, fire bursting from his hide. Nick shrieked, recoiling as the flames scorched him.But bef
