GILDEON

He wasn’t supposed to leave Roselia yet, but Arah had been battering at the edges of his mind all day. He needed to see her tonight, or he’d lose it. She wasn’t at home or in her studio, though her scooter was parked outside.

Gildeon had Ghulik track her scent, which led them to a bar on the beach strip. The goblin then disappeared into the crowd—probably to gawk at women or hunt for couples making out in dark corners.

Shaking his head, Gildeon scanned the area. He immediately spotted Arah’s blue curls, a bright splash amidst the sea of gyrating bodies. Colored lights bathed the scene, casting shadows on her slender arms raised overhead.

Gildeon stood there, catching glimpses of Arah through the shifting crowd. Heat surged through him as he watched her—seductive, free, sweat glistening on her smooth skin. Her curves, tightly wrapped in maroon, swayed with each move. She danced as if lost in her own world, owning the space, oblivious to everything.

A burning desire ignited with

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   238 - What I Feel

    ARAHHer eyes fluttered open, and she grimaced as a throbbing pain pulsed behind her temples. Her fingers instinctively rose to press against her forehead. Every muscle in her body ached, like she’d been tossed into a blender and spun on high. Fortunately, she could already feel the faint energy of her healing process kicking in.Slowly, she sat up and looked around. She was in her room, dressed in her nightie.Confusion settled in. What had happened?The last thing she remembered was her mind being overtaken by the Light Fae, right after she’d taken down the bear-like entity. She’d been trapped in that endless sea of light, feeling helpless.Then Araheen had appeared again. Had she pulled her out?Being alive and in one piece, her past self must have fought for her again.“Gildeon,” she breathed, scrambling out of bed and rushing out of the room.She shoved open the door to his room, but only found Lexi asleep

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   237 - Not Meant For Earthland

    GILDEONHe was certain that the blade was going to dig straight through his back, even if he managed to harden his scales in time.But it didn’t.A grim presence wrapped around him. His breath caught in his chest as the air filled with heavy energy.Suddenly, it wasn’t cold anymore.Arah was still in his arms. Unconscious, but alive and safe.He exhaled slowly, the tension in his chest breaking. Relief settled in, but only for a moment, because this place looked different. They were no longer in the Light Fae’s frozen domain.What had just happened?He looked down. The ground beneath them was solid rock, rough with cracks and familiar markings etched in crimson. He frowned, recognizing this spot as one of the cliff sites where they’d set up the Containment Sigil.But inside, the wild plants had withered. The circle had been smeared at the edge, as if someone had deliberately defiled it.Was this w

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   236 - All A Gamble

    GILDEONHe shifted back into his mortal beast form, letting the scales recede. There was no advantage in staying fully draconic—not when one wrong move could endanger the people he was trying to protect. Besides, he needed to conserve energy. But he kept enough fire burning inside to stay warm in the cold.“Let them go,” he barked, though he knew it wouldn’t rattle the Light Fae. He didn’t need to scare them. He just needed them to talk long enough for him to read them, to pick apart their intention and weakness.But the Light Faes, as far as he knew, were direct by nature. If they said he had to choose who to save, they meant it. No tricks, no middle ground.Still, something about this didn’t make sense.“Choose,” the Light Fae repeated.A smirk tugged at Gildeon’s mouth. “Nice try. You expect me to believe you’d let go of the child you’re so desperate to kill?”“We will allow the child and the mother to live for the time being,” the Light Fae said without pretense. “But we will have

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   235 - Fate That Awaited

    GILDEONHis flame breath slammed into the frozen ground, sending cracks spiderwebbing across the icy surface. Steam exploded upward as the hellfire carved through the frost, melting everything in its path.The ground hissed violently beneath the blast, glowing red in places where the fire had punched through to bare earth. The heat felt like standing at the mouth of a furnace that wanted to consume everything.For Gildeon, it made him feel more alive.The Light Fae’s white cloak disintegrated at the edges, curling into blackened ash. Strips of it vanished in seconds, revealing more of that strange, silvery flesh stretched thin over a wiry frame. The fire would’ve swallowed them whole if not for the ice-crystal barrier they raised just in time.It shimmered with a blinding, refracted brilliance, but it no longer fazed his dragon eyes. He saw through it now.Gildeon’s claws dug into the cracked earth, dragging jagged lines thr

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   234 - Kill The Light Fae

    GILDEONHe slashed his fiery blade at the enemy, but it didn’t so much as graze a strand of Professor Leviste’s hair.She was right there, standing still, yet blinking in and out of view. It was so fast he had to activate his dragon eyes just to keep track of her as she jumped from one point to another. He didn’t believe the Light Fae were physically moving through space—more likely, they were using magic to bend his perception.What puzzled him was why they hadn’t extinguished his fire yet.He lashed out with his blade again, just to keep the Light Fae occupied while Arah saw to Lexi. That thing he’d glimpsed earlier wasn’t something to underestimate, but he trusted Arah to handle it.He surged forward, but halfway there, something made him freeze.A child’s cry.A jolt of electricity shot through his veins, his heart slamming against his ribcage.His son had been born.Ahead of him, Professor Leviste’s expression faltered, just slightly. He figured the Light Fae had felt it too.Gil

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   233 - The Final Night

    ARAHShe gasped, the realization hitting her.Tonight was the final night of the timeline the Light Fae had given Gildeon. She hadn’t expected them to actually show up… and certainly not right here, in their home, at the very edge of the deadline.“They broke through the barrier, Gildeon,” she said quietly, her pulse quickening a notch, tension coiling in her chest.She could feel the shift in him, the unease radiating off his body. And now, standing in the presence of one, she finally understood the true magnitude of the Light Fae’s power.“There’s no need for this,” Gildeon said to the old woman, his beast voice low and gravelly. “We’ve already contained the anomalous energy at the sites where the Dark Plane could be opened.”Arah swallowed, her throat dry. She knew that wasn’t true anymore.“My child won’t be a threat,” he added.The old woman remained silent, her hands folded neatly in front of her. Her expression was blank, white eyes staring in their direction.“You have left on
