“Take,” he rasped.

“Take… me?” she blurted, gripping the mannequin tighter. “Kidnap me? Is that it?” Her eyes narrowed as it dawned on her. “Did someone hire you? My family? Gildeon’s family?”

“Take.”

Frustration welled in her chest. She wouldn't get any real answers from him. She shuffled her feet, moving away from the bald man who had completely stopped thrashing. But his gaze stayed locked on her, watching her every move, waiting.

She sat on one of the barrels, trying to calm her chest,

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   311 - Echo Of His Heartbeat

    ARAHDanger prickled the back of her neck a split second before her mind caught up.Her body moved first.The wind tattoo on her forearm peeled away from her skin, snapping into the air like a released whip. In the same breath, her owl sigil burst free from her abdomen, the tiny inked shape stretching and unfolding mid-flight. Wings widened, bones and feathers building themselves out of glowing sigil lines until her female owl was a colossal bird above her, shadows of its wings swallowing the moonlight.She felt the rush of air before she heard the shrieks.The owl beat its wings hard, each powerful stroke throwing knives of wind across the sand. The front line of salamanders jerked back, their flames guttering as the gusts shoved them a few steps away, buying her a heartbeat of space.Arah spun, heart hammering, eyes automatically searching for him.She found Gildeon in the distance, and her stomach dropped.H

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   310 - You Leave Us No Choice

    GILDEONHis eyes went wide, pulse punching hard against his ribs.He’d always known this was a possibility. Some part of him had been waiting for it, braced for it. But he’d still hope it wouldn’t happen. Tonight, his guard had been down in the worst possible way.Multiple platoons. A full company at least. Probably more hidden beyond the reach of his eyes. The fact that this many salamanders were standing on open sand, in front of lower mortals, told Gildeon they weren’t fucking around about taking Arah at all costs.From the corner of his eye, he saw Yadira and Eitan shoot up from their seats, chairs clattering to the sand. Their shocked gazes snapped from the salamander line straight to him, waiting for orders.“I don’t get it,” Arah murmured beside him, fingers digging into his arm. “I thought the portal was intact.”“I sent Ghulik there days ago to make sure it

    GILDEONHe rose as she slowly drifted down from that peak, hands sure on her body.By the time he stood, shrugging out of his clothes, she was still hovering a few inches off the floor, dress hanging in tatters from her shoulders, hair wild and glowing at the edges. It was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.“Arah,” he murmured, almost to himself.He stepped in close, hands catching her hips.She was hot and slick and ready for him, her thighs automatically parting to welcome him. He guided himself to her and pushed in with a low, guttural groan, her tight heat clamping around him like she was made for him and no one else.Her head snapped back, a sharp cry tearing from her throat.He set his feet and drove into her, using his grip on her hips to pull her down onto him, his thrusts deep and steady. Each movement sent another jolt of pleasure and power through his spine. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and

    GILDEONSince they reached her studio, they hadn’t stopped kissing. The door had barely slammed shut before he had her pinned against it, mouths crashing, teeth knocking, both of them laughing into the kiss like they were drunk on each other. By the time they stumbled deeper inside, he’d already ripped his glasses off and flung them somewhere toward her worktable. Arah reached back with one hand, fingers finding the small of her skull, and slid the sigil needle free.Her blue curls spilled down in a wild, messy cascade over her shoulders, and something in his chest tightened hard.“The blinds,” she breathed against his mouth.They broke apart just long enough to fumble their way to the windows, hands tangling as they yanked the cords and dragged the blinds down in jerky motions. Outside, the distant noise of the festivity rolled in—music, voices, the muffled promise of fireworks—but in here they didn’t bother with the lights. The studio s

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   307 - Things Might Be Different Now

    ARAHToday was Caylao Island’s festival. Arah slipped into the pretty blue summer dress she’d bought the week before. Cora had been teasing her lately, saying she was glowing, and honestly, she kind of believed it. She’d been feeling genuinely happy and at peace these past few days. Every morning, she woke up without the looming dread of threats... or the fear that Gildeon might shatter her heart.As she stood in front of the mirror, there were moments when she’d catch faint flickers of her blue sigils surfacing across her skin and face. They shimmered softly, and for once, she didn’t feel the need to hide them. She smiled at her reflection, quietly admiring how beautiful her sylph form truly was.Feviel’s words echoed faintly in her mind. That soon, she’d finally remember everything. Her sigils showing up from time to time—was this the sign?She wasn’t sure she wanted that anymore. Li

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   306 - You'll Finally Remember Everything

    ARAHShe breathed a quiet sigh of relief after hearing that Gildeon had only been overwhelmed by a sudden surge of energy from the seal. He claimed it was just a random flare-up, nothing more, and doubted it would ever happen again.Arah believed him, especially since he’d recovered quickly and was back on his feet in no time. Still, a part of her couldn’t shake the feeling that something else had happened. She’d sensed a force earlier, something foreign, something that didn’t feel like it belonged to the magic of the seal or the energy hotspot beneath it.For a moment, she was tempted to ask more questions. But in the end, she let it go. Gildeon was already pushing for them to leave, and she didn’t want to press the matter.By the time they reached the main town, the plaza was already buzzing with activity. Food stalls were being set up, the scent of sweets and fried snacks drifting through the air. Tourists and locals filled the streets
