The fire was gone.

The temple was silent.

But Isabelle couldn't breathe.

The ghost of her father had slapped her on the cold stone floor, and she was frozen in thought, with only a slight discomfort in her skin. The impact of his words lingered in her thoughts.

It’s not your life.

Her wrist was gripped by Gabriel.'

"Talk, " he ordered.

His voice was rough—too rough. He lacks his typical teasing, arrogant behavior, or reserved humor.

No.

This was something else.

Something dangerous.

He was angry.

Not at the temple.

Not at the fire.

At her.

While Isabelle swallowed with great force, the words would not make a sound.

Can someone provide an explanation for what seems impossible, according to her?

Her grave had been observed by her.

She had observed her father's golden eyes..

And worst of all….

She had felt death.

Not that of a wound or an attack.

Yet another type of one that stayed with you forever.

Like an unfinished story.

As unpaid debt.’.

    Silence was the only thing holding them back from the flames that had permeated. The. Isabelle sensed the warmth, the presence of an ancient entity, and the watchful gaze of a temple that had no longer burned and its secrets were no more concealed. Or maybe it was Gabriel? He hadn't moved. Hadn't let go. He kept his hand near her wrist, with warm and firm fingers that seemed to be deliberately holding her. He may go missing, which could lead to her disappearing once more. He touched her with scorching pain, but she didn't retreat. She was not prepared to move forward. She was not prepared for the words that were coming her way.' Despite Gabriel's soft tone, his voice was firm. It was never soft. “You died, Isabelle.”. Like water jetted into a stone, the words drifted into silence and rippled through everything. Her breath caught. Her stomach twisted. No. No, that couldn't be right. She was here. Right in front of him, she was standing. She wasn't dead. But Gabriel's gri

    Wind blew through the broken temple walls, like a whisper of something lurking in the distance. What was waiting? The motion and sway of the torches around those stone columns created rough shadows that rippled across Gabriel's face, deepening sharp lines in his expression. Despite his release, Isabelle still felt his touch. His fingers had lost their warmth, but his words gripped her chest like a chain. It felt so strong and powerful. Her life was not meant to be, she wasn't. She had died. Her heart was still beating inside her ribs as she stood there, struggling to breathe. She felt her stomach twitch and was in a nauseating state as she pulled away from Gabriel, with her legs stiff and shaken. Gabriel didn't stop her. He just watched. He had been keeping tabs on her since she came back.' He had been anticipating this moment. Her voice warmed as she whispered, "Send me. Gabriel's eyes flickered with a deep shade of green, hinting at his desire to inquire. “Say that I’m n

    They were burdened by the truth, which was too heavy and immovable for them to move. The torches pressed against the stone walls, creating unyielding shadows that clawed at their feet, as if she were in war. Gabriel had always been her adversary. Monster in the void, the enemy between her and revenge, selfish Alpha who never cared about anything more than dominance, power and victory.ii. What happened to Skywalker? It meant that he was now the only one there. Only person to have seen her that night.’ The. He had made efforts to prevent it, which was even more distressing. He had endeavored to bring her back. And he'd failed. The fingers of Isabelle curled up. "Who then?!". Gabriel exhaled sharply. “I don't know,” he muttered. Her heart raced. "That's not a response.". “I have a single one.”. A bitter silence. Her emotions were bottled up by the fact that she didn't care much about his frustration. She needed to know. She needed to understand. She added, "OK, I guess you'l

    The world felt wrong. Isabelle's breath became too foreign, sharp, and thin when she returned to the temple. The air was a blur. The encounter was similar to coming up with a pleasurable air, but the air was poisonous. Her heart pounded, wild, frantic. Gabriel's hands were still touching her shoulders, too tightly, and unbalanced. They appeared to be too much. The man's presence was unclear in certain areas, and his voice echoed distantly while calling out her name, much like the sound of watermelon. She was unable to pay attention to him. Why? The sight of it was still there when she saw it. The object that had escaped from her chest.' That entity which was embedded in her veins, bones and soul. It had always remained.' Her stomach twisted violently. The temple walls were adorned with torches that flickered, the shadows were stretched and warped, and the air was made thicker by the presence of life in the temple. It's likely that Gabriel felt it, given how tight his grip was

    The silence stretched between them, thick and heavy, pressing against Isabelle's skin like a second weight, suffocating, unrelenting. Gabriel hadn't moved. His hands were still curled into fists at his sides, his body tense, coiled too tight, too rigid, like he was holding something back. His words still hung in the air. "Because I don't know if I'll want to let go. ". They shouldn't have meant anything. They shouldn't have made her breath catch, shouldn't have sent a slow, deep heat curling in her stomach. But they did. Because Gabriel didn't say things like that. Not to her. Not ever. Her throat tightened. She could feel the fire inside her, twisting, shifting, but it wasn't just hers anymore. It had touched him. It had recognized him. And worse—he had recognized it, too. A shiver raked through her. Gabriel's jaw ticked. “Sit down before you fall over.”. The sudden shift back to his usual cold, controlled self made her bristle. “I'm fine.”. Gabriel's gaze flicked

    The flame persisted, lingering beneath her skin and curving in all her bones, watching. It was still there. The words of Gabriel were swayed tightly, treacherous, unyielding. "Our resistance endures until you attain it.". Isabelle's breath hitched. He had spoken to her, which was more frightening as she didn't know what it was. Or that she was thinking about it. Her reaction to him was not anticipated in this manner. Not after everything. After years of tormenting and challenging her, he finally found peace in a world where imposes rules. This was months ago. However, this was her first time being out of sight. Unknown things were something that Gabriel Phoenix hated. She raised her head. "Do you think I am capable of breaking my jaw?". The smirk from Gabriel was slow and perilous. "No, little wolf.". I think you're already breaking.”. Her pulse spiked. She hated him. She detested the fact that he had clear vision and could see through her, knowing precisely where to pu

    The air between them was too thick, too heavy, too charged. Gabriel was too close. The heat of his body pressed into hers, his breath warm against her skin, his voice still lingering in her ears. "Your body already did. ". Isabelle's pulse pounded. Gabriel wasn't touching her anymore. Not really. But she could still feel him. Like the fire inside her had already memorized the shape of him. Like it was pulling toward him, aching, waiting. Her hands curled into fists at her sides. She wanted to shove him away. She wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. She wanted to rip him apart. But worse than all of that—. She wanted to pull him closer. And that? That was the most dangerous thing of all. She swallowed hard, forcing every inch of her body to stay still, forcing herself to ignore the way her skin burned where his fingers had just been. She lifted her chin. “I don't play games, Gabriel.”. His smirk deepened. “Then what do you call this?”. She hated that he was still

    There was an indescribable tension that spanned the entire room, like a delicate thread about to unravel. It was a charged air, full of something unrevealed and beyond control. With a dangerous amount of patience, Gabriel watched Isabelle with his everlasting eyes, their sparkling sparkles exuding an inexplicable power. The smile on his lips disappeared, replaced by a much more menacing expression—intent. He was consistently composed and in charge. But now? He appeared to be a man on the brink of something. The decision to step back was a conscious choice for Isabelle. Create distance. Break the strange, oppressive pull that had been imposed on them.' The footing persisted, her body encroaching into the ground, and she responded to him without asking. He had touched her, and the fire within her had identified him.'". And worse—so had she. Gabriel lifted his hand and lightly stroked her wrist, causing her to shiver. He whispered, "Little wolf, tell me what happened," with an unf

    Isabelle held steady beneath the oppressive weight of the betrayal bearing down upon her. The room was too small, the air thick with unspoken danger. Violetta, Caitlyn, and Blake—all of them gathered before her like phantoms of her own past, to eat her whole. Her fists balled at her sides, nails digging into her palms, grounding her. She had already been to hell and back. She had struggled free of shadows before. And if they thought she would crack now, they were mistaken. Caitlyn tilted her head, looking at her with sharp amusement. "I must admit, I'm impressed," she thought. "Despite everything, you're still here. Still so stubborn." She breathed dramatically. "You were always a stubborn little girl." Isabelle's jaw clamped. "And you were always a coward." Caitlyn's eyes flickered with something evil, but her smile never wavered. She turned instead to Violetta, waving her hand languidly in her direction. "Tell me, dear, does it hurt? Seeing her again?" Violetta's eyes narrowed

    A new figure stepped out of the darkness, her high heels tapping against the cold stone ground.Isabelle's stomach twisted into a knot the instant she recognized the familiar mess of dark hair, the same icy eyes that had once been warm but now burned with something hard.Violetta.A woman who had been her best friend. The one she had chosen for a sister. The one she had trusted above everyone else.And the one who had betrayed her in the most heinous of ways."Surprised to see me, Isabelle?" Violetta's lips curled into a sneer as she approached.Isabelle's breath stalled, her entire body freezing at the memories that came crashing over her like a tidal wave.The allegations. The gossip. The way Blake's eyes had turned to ice that night he believed she had betrayed him. The way she screamed, begged him to believe her. The way her reputation as Luna had been taken from her, her pride shattered.And Violetta just stood there and watched and smiled as Isabelle had been purchased by Gabrie

    The castle gates slammed open with a deafening roar. The cold night air swept inside, reeking of blood and steel. Isabelle barely had time to realize what was happening before the first attacker shoved forward.Gabriel moved like a specter, swift and certain. His sword was a slash of silver as he rushed to engage the invaders. Steel met steel, the clash of it ringing through the air, resonating through Isabelle's very marrow.She stepped back, her heart pounding. The slain guard still lay on the floor in front of her, his empty eyes staring into nothing.A gloved fist closed on her wrist.She whirled around, reflexes overriding her, but before she could strike, she was swept into the solid body of a chest. Gabriel."Stay behind me," he growled, shoving her back as another attacker swung. The knife whizzed inches from her nose, but Gabriel was already battling back, cutting the man down with vicious efficiency.The battle burst out around them.Gabriel's men stormed the hall, steel fl

    The air inside Gabriel's castle was thick, weighed down with tension so sharp it could cut. The return ride had taken some time, but Isabelle barely noticed the passage of time. Her head was a whirlwind, revolving around the same question over and over.What now?Gabriel had saved her. He had fought for her. And yet she was smart enough not to conflate his behavior with something so transitory as love. This was survival. A kill-or-be-killed, power play, strategy game, and dominance.She was still a pawn on the board. The only question was: whose game?As she stepped into the grand halls of the castle, the weight of it all fell upon her breast. The torches flickered and threw dancing shadows on stone walls, but even the warmth of the fire could not thaw the ice in her heart.Behind her, Gabriel dismounted, his footsteps following hers like a silent demand. He had been watching her the entire way back, and now, she could feel the unspoken questions hanging between them."You’re awfully

    The atmosphere was tense that evening, thick silence between Gabriel and Isabelle as they rode through the thick woods, their entourage riding steadily towards the castle. The rhythmic thud of hooves against the earth road failed to mask the unspoken words that hung between them.Gabriel gripped the reins tightly, his mind a battlefield of conflicting emotions. His entire life had been spent believing he could not love, that his heart had been forged hard by bloodshed, duty, and betrayal years ago. And yet, when he looked at Isabelle—her soft features shining in the light of the silver moon—he felt something shift inside of him.He'd been stupid to have rejected it for so long.She was under his skin, inside his head, in every gasp he breathed. The flame of her passion called to the shadows of his own, and however much he fought against it, he knew—he was hers.But he couldn't. He wouldn't.Gabriel gritted his jaw and willed his eyes straight ahead, trying to ignore the rapid beating

    The tension from Caitlyn's visit lingered in the air like smoke.I paced the length of the room, curled fingers into tight fists, jaw clenched.I had dealt with jealous women before.I had dealt with enemies before.But Caitlyn?She wasn't angry.She was calculating.She wasn't going to attack me head-on.She was going to wear me down from the shadows, piece by piece, until there was nothing left.And I was not going to stand for that to happen.I took a deep, deliberate breath, forcing my body to relax its tension.Fine.If Caitlyn wanted a war, she would have one.---Later That Day – The Dining HallThe grand dining hall was packed full by the time I arrived.**Warriors, council members, high government officials—**all those persons who mattered in Gabriel's existence took their proper seats, voicing themselves quietly.And at the head of the long, shining table?Gabriel.His broad shoulders unstrained, his emerald green eyes calm but unreadable.And beside him—Caitlyn.She sat too

    Gabriel's presence hung heavily in the room, pressing against my skin like the warning of a storm about to break.He was standing too close.The air between us was heavy, loaded with something unsaid, something undeniable.I should have stepped back.I should have said something cutting, something to remind him that I wasn't intimidated by him.But I didn't.Because I wasn't sure that I wanted to.His green eyes pierced mine, expressionless, intent. His breathing was measured, slow, but his fingers twitched at his sides, betraying the tension he fought to maintain.For an instant—no more than that—his eyes left mine and looked at my lips.A spiking, unwelcome fire shot through my spine.No.I was not going to do this.I was not going to let him into my head.I took a slow breath, tilting my chin."Was there a reason you burst into my room, or did you merely miss me?"His jaw tight.Then finally, he drew back—not very far, but far enough so I could regain my breath."Caitlyn," he spoke

    There was an air that was too dense and heavy. Gabriel still hadn't moved. It was a source of offense for Isabelle to notice. She was displeased with the sudden awareness of how his large frame blocked the door, sharp angles in their jaws to each other's faces, and something dangerously close to his eyes. Something that she was hesitant to identify.' The first person to step back was her. The individual who first ceased eye contact. The first to walk away. But she didn't. And neither did he. Instead—they just stood there. Implied in a silent battle, the war was not won by either of them first. The gaze of the emerald was visibly burned into hers, both fiercely and clearly. Finally—he spoke. "You should rest. ". His voice was low, calm. Still there was a layer, something held back and broken.... Then Isabelle made a grimace. "That seemed like something to be done rather than supposed to.". The ghost of amusement was visible across Gabriel's face as he breathed deeply

    The main wing's heavy doors were forced to open, opening the vast hallway to warm candlelight. ". With their walls lined with dark wood panelling, the aroma of old books and leather lingering was invigorating. The floors were polished and Isabelle walked inside as she trailed Gabriel. It was quiet. Too quiet. The woman had disappeared by then but the cold gaze of Caitlyn still pressed on her back. But the tension in the castle had changed.". From the moment Gabriel announced that she would be staying in the main wing, Isabelle had sensed it. Caitlyn's anger was barely hidden.. And Isabelle? She wasn't stupid. She was aware that this wouldn't be finished. If anything—it was just beginning. With a deliberate move, Gabriel advanced towards her and opened revolving doors at the door's end. He didn't say a word. Didn't explain. Holding the door open, waiting. With a slight hesitation, Isabelle entered. And then—she froze. The room was massive. The grandiose area is chara
