AEROS “Are you really going to do this? Seek help from dark magic? That could make things so much worse, and I hope you know that,” Jonathan asked for the umpteenth time as we headed to the room where Elarian was. The man I had just freed from his prison walked behind us, two guards keeping him in line with a heavy chain around his neck.“I don’t have a choice, Jonathan. I am not about to let my Luna and child die when I can get him to do whatever I want.”“Letting him out of his cell was a bad decision, Aeros,” Jonathan continued to complain. It was obvious he wasn’t at ease with any of this. I wasn’t either, but I had no other option.“He could be playing you. This could be his plan—to escape and do something much worse than before.”“Calm down, Jonathan. Look behind you—the man is in chains. What could he possibly do in such heavy chains with guards around him?” I asked, trying to pacify him. Although it worked temporarily, he was still visibly agitated.I was the first to walk in
Author’s POV.“Beta Jonathan and a few guards were going with him. I had no idea where they were heading, but I just knew they would be leaving together. I overheard them in the room,” the young maid said to Blair as she paced the length of the maid’s room in the servants’ quarters.She had been unable to leave the mansion since the accident had happened because Aeros had tightened the security and refused to let anyone leave or enter the mansion.Trying to leave then would have meant risking being caught by the guards, especially since she was too weak to cast any spell to keep herself hidden. She had to rely on the maid to hide her in her quarters and bide her time.As expected, Aeros had hurried down to her lover, and just as she had planned, he had let him step out of where he had locked him up all those years. There was no better time to strike than that moment.So, she quietly got dressed as a maid and followed the young maid out of the room. No one noticed because everyone was
AEROS “We just found the healer in the garage. She was knocked out cold and almost naked,” one of the guards reported to me, and I stood up sharply from my position beside Elarian on her bed.Her condition still had not changed, she was still unconscious and as the seconds ticked by without any sign of Jonathan, I grew restless. I had sent one of the guards to keep watch and inform me as soon as they were in sight.But hearing that they had found the healer unconscious in the garage left me confused. Did that mean Jonathan had left without her? But why knock her out? He could have just said he didn’t want her to go with them.I trusted Jonathan, and I knew he would never do something like that without my permission. So, either there was a misunderstanding, or something was wrong.I rose to my feet and was about to turn to face the guard in the room when a sharp pain shot through my head. I hissed in pain, dropping a hand onto the bed to steady myself.“Aeros, Aeros, there is… Help!”
Author’s POV.As soon as the car hit the water, Kaiden lost his ability to keep the shield up, and Blair slammed her head hard against the window, causing her to pass out on the spot. The car sank faster than it should have, and before Kaiden realized what was happening, he was almost out of breath and completely submerged.Quickly, he forced a door open with his magic and swam out of the car, but he had barely gone far when he remembered that Blair was still lying unconscious in the sinking vehicle.He turned around and began swimming back toward her, but he heard movement and glanced up to see Jonathan dive into the water in search of them. He stopped swimming toward the car immediately and instead started looking around for a way to escape, to get as far away from Jonathan as possible.He knew what was going to happen if they found her, but he didn’t care. He had sacrificed more than enough for Blair. She had left him to rot in Aeros’s dungeons, and he could not afford to be locked
AEROS Blair.It was really Blair.How? When did she…? How did she…?"She is not the Blair you know," Jonathan’s words echoed in my mind. I was confused and I couldn’t understand what he meant. Unless my eyes were deceiving me, she was right here in front of me and it was clear I wasn’t the only one who could see her.Kaiden was the one who had killed Blair or so I thought. So what Jonathan was saying couldn’t possibly be true.“I don’t know what’s going on either. I almost drowned… I had no idea Kaiden was in the car. I was only trying to get back to you,” she said, her voice cracking. She looked so pale that I assumed she might collapse any moment.“Get a room ready and call the healer,” I called out, and one of the guards rushed forward to follow my orders. I lifted her into my arms and started to follow, but Jonathan stepped in front of me, blocking my path.“Are you kidding me right now?” he yelled angrily. “Didn’t you hear what I just said? She’s not the Blair we know! Think, no
ElarianMy hands trembled as I turned the doorknob, and the door creaked open slowly. A gasp escaped my lips, but I quickly muffled the sound with my hands. However, it wasn't enough because it drew Chloe's attention to me and she turned, her eyes widening in shock at the sight of me. She batted her eyelids but remained seated on Corey, who lay naked on the bed.Ignoring me, she looked away as if I hadn't entered.Startled, I stumbled backwards, accidentally knocking over the box I'd brought from home. I was so eager to surprise my mate for the weekend, I hadn't informed him about my decision to stay at his place. Little did I expect to be the one in for a surprise.The sound of the box caught Corey's attention, and he glanced towards the door to see a surprised me. He stood up abruptly, nearly knocking Chloe over but she was quick on her feet, and she managed to regain balance."What the fuck are you doing here, Elara?" Corey demanded, glaring at me.I scoffed at his reaction, surpri
ELARIANHe didn't reject me; instead, he responded with a passionate kiss. The intensity of the moment was unlike anything I had experienced before, not even with Corey. I was so entranced by the sensation that I only snapped out of it when I felt his lips part from mine.He tightly held the steering wheel, his eyes focused on the road, exuding a rigid demeanor. At that moment, I wondered if I had made a mistake. Could he be married, or perhaps uninterested in someone young like me, given his older appearance?"My place isn't far, do you mind?" he asked sternly. It took me a few seconds to grasp his meaning, but once I did, I nodded, and he drove off.The ride back to his place was silent. Although I should have been scared, considering he was a total stranger, I met at an unfamiliar bar, coupled with the fact that no one knew I was with him, strangely, I wasn't frightened. I even felt at ease in his company.We pulled up in front of what seemed like an apartment building. I was so dr
AEROSShe... she became the centre of my attention the moment she walked into the bar and took a seat beside me. It was evident that she carried the weight of the world on her fragile shoulders. The more I observed her, the more I realized she was struggling hard to hold back tears.I had come to the bar to unwind after a gruelling day at work, seeking a sanctuary where my beta, Jonathan, wouldn't find me. It was supposed to be a quiet evening until I crossed paths with a woman I initially found quite annoying. However, as she began to loosen up under the influence of alcohol, I found her strangely captivating.There was an aura of innocence around her that piqued my interest, and something ignited a sense of dominance within me. It was an overwhelming urge to possess her, to break her, and which completely clouded my senses.I loved how responsive she was to me. I reveled in the fact that the slightest touch from me could render her as moist as the ocean. Without knowing anything abo
