Thank you so much for your support on this book, lovelies. This truly means a lot. You'll have to bear with me a little longer for the ending begins now!
[Kian]“The plan is straightforward: Alpha Christian and I will infiltrate Blank Space with our special forces, trained especially to adapt and effectively engage with unexpected enemies under unforeseen circumstances. We’ll be conducting this rescue mission with limited resources and our ultimate goal would be to find and save Carys Elffire at all cost…” I addressed the members of special forces who stood before me, dressed in casuals that are commonly worn in Wordswood. I looked at Jackson and Zion. They wanted to accompany me, but they were my backup plan in case things went awry. “Our goal will be to blend in with the inhabitants of Black Space, which we’ll address as BS. Once we are there, we might not be able to communicate through phones or mind-link. If we can, that’s brilliant, but in case our mind-links don’t work, don’t panic. We do not have an external communication method as of now, so we’ll stay close to one another within a communicable radius using traditional methods
[Kian]Christian looked at me blankly, then cleared his throat.“Umm. I… sensed s-something strong… in that direction. Did you sense it too?” he asked.I nodded.“I wonder what that was about. I’ll link the Hawks to check for clearance.” He mind-linked.“We don’t have time to wait for their clearance.”I bolted into a sprint, turning and racing in the direction Carys’ calling led me to. The streets were empty. A sheer contrast from Ruin’s memory, where the streets were flocked by people like ants. That just confirmed my suspicion that something indeed was happening in this world. Something that made our mate bond pulse so fiercely in my soul. People talk about spiritual energy. I could feel it surge within me. Its resonance reverberated more intensely than ever before. Although I had no idea what Christian felt or why. But I was quite certain he could feel what I did, probably not as intense, but he felt it as well.Christian soon caught up to me as both of us came to a halt in front
[Kian] Why the hell are they bowing before me? Back there Illumi said he knew we were coming, and he was waiting for us. Was I lured into a trap? The room rose from the bow. ‘Alpha, permission for action,’ the team leaders said. ‘Denied. Stay calm, and don’t move. Be where you are. As long as they don’t attack us or try to hurt Carys, we’ll play along and see what this is all about.’ I linked all of them. The members who had tensed up, ready to attack, relaxed. I looked at Carys. She was still curled up against the column. I didn’t know if she had sensed my presence or was in the condition to sense anything at all. What the fuck have these psychos done to her? Tightening my fists, I tried to hold myself back. I had to get closer to her. Edith ascended the stairs. I skimmed my eyes across the room once again. There were over thirty visibly armed magic folks holding wands in their hands, ready to attack on command. Ten of them were ready to attack Carys any time. The rest of
[Kian]The glow had spread out from a point and converged back into it as I landed on the other side of it, almost crashing against the wall. But I was no longer in the corridor, but in the foyer of somebody’s home.“Let go! No! Go away! Don’t touch me! Get away from me!” Dread knit thick in the air as I heard Carys’ weak but painful screams coming from the first floor of the house. I bolted upstairs. My heart raced faster as each scream sliced through me like knives. “Enchantress, please… let me help you. The Bond summon has put your body in heat. You need to release the excess energy. Please… I know you are in a lot of pain and I promise I can make you feel better… Just trust me once again and I promise to never break it again… please give me a second chance, Carys. I just want to help you…” I charged across the hallway towards the source of Joshua’s voice. As I kicked the door open, my eyes fell on Joshua, who was trying to pin Carys’ hands on the bed as she struggled to push hi
[Carys]Before today, I never thought sex could ever heal. And this sex with Kian was more than just healing my broken parts. It fixed the parts of me I didn’t even know needed to be healed. It was calm, peaceful, and not just all about pleasure. It was something more, something better. It was like basking in the sun after a perpetual winter.It was more about love, loss, and silent cure than lust, passion, and pain.Intertwining his fingers with mine, Kian slid my hand over my head as I clung to him with my free arm wrapped around his neck.My mouth opened against his in a plea of stagnant gasps as I neared the climax for nth time. My eyes were reluctant to leave him, even for a second. If there was still a soul worth reading left inside me, I wanted him to read me through and through.The scream building in my throat broke into erratic gasps and moans. The way he took me was different. Not because of the heat making my body shameless and helpless at his touch. Something about him ha
[Carys]It took me a few seconds to process that his words were a proposal, and then it took a few more minutes to realize what had actually happened and a few more to comprehend its reality. Yet, it wasn’t until I met the vulnerability in his eyes that the gravity of the moment truly sank in. My gaze lowered to my fingers, delicately cradling the exquisite ring. The smallest glint of its diamonds held meanings beyond my imagination. Centuries of power now rested on my finger. Its weight was far beyond my capabilities to wield. As I continued to gaze at the ring, my heart pounded in my ears. Kian reached out. His fingers rested on the bed at inches’ distance from mine. With a quick gulp, I withdrew my fingers slightly, barely an inch. But that gave me enough room to breathe as my every breath seemed to have lost its way and now no longer knew what its destination was. His breaths, heavy and deep, found their way through his parted lips as his fingers bridged the burning gap betwee
[Kian]I descended the staircase to find Joshua pacing impatiently across the foyer. He looked at me but didn’t utter a single word. But swiftly dashed past me, racing upstairs towards Carys’ room. My gaze lingered on him as I turned around and walked upstairs, taking measured steps. He grabbed the doorknob and was about to just walk into the room when he stopped, withdrew his hand from the doorknob, and knocked on the door. “Carys…” his voice, a mix of urgency and desperation, echoed in the hallway. When Carys replied to him with her silence, he knocked again and called out to her once again, the desperation in his voice turning into a mix of wavering emotions. But she didn’t answer him. Joshua was the first step in understanding about everything that was going on in Blank Space. He knew this world far better than any of us in the real world. So, before dealing with whatever was happening here, I had to understand what exactly we were dealing with. When and how all of this bega
[Kian] I tensed up, squinting my eyes. “A sacrifice?” I reiterated. “To the fae lord?” Carys knit her brows. “W-what kind of sacrifice? Why me? And… my mother… why… how… I don’t…” “I am sure you remember why uncle Logan didn’t allow your mother to come close to you when he wasn’t around. Everything she did to you and your body, the abuse and pain you went through in your childhood, was how your mother prepared your body and soul to act like a bond receptor.” Joshua reminded Carys. Her heartbeats shot up; her chest heaved faster at his words as she curled her fingers over her dress on her knees. An unsettling fear took over her. I knew she was reliving those triggering memories from her childhood in her head. “I know it’s hard to believe, Carys. All these people think they are saving the world by doing what they are doing right now. Your mother was no different. Actually, she was colder than all of them combined. But none of them realize they are under some kind of sick control. M
