One hundred and eighty one

Lianna: After everything, I had what I wanted. Not in the way I hoped, not in a way that left me whole, but in the way that meant justice was, at least, inching in the right direction. Afterward, Ingrid and I sat by the kitchen window, steam from our teacups curling in lazy spirals as we dissected the rotten unfairness of it all. I hated how people still dared to argue Ethan didn’t deserve punishment—as though his title should shield him from consequence. As though power ever made a man decent. “At least she has love around her,” I muttered, stretching my legs out beneath the table. My muscles ached, but not as much as my spirit. Ingrid nodded, chewing slowly. “Her husband has been by her side nonstop. And the kids? They adore her.” I managed a tired smile, then leaned my head back, my hair spilling over the edge of the chair. “I envy that. Not the chaos, but the quiet love. The kind that doesn’t need palaces or crowns to be worth something.” Ingrid didn't answ

One hundred and eighty two

Lianna: The soft clink of cutlery against porcelain had faded, the wine in my glass barely touched, but I felt full in a way that had nothing to do with food. Edward looked at me like I was carved from something sacred, like one wrong move would shatter me, which, in all honesty, was laughable. I wasn’t glass. I was fire. I was war. I was the kind of woman you didn’t dare worship halfway. He rose first, that knowing glint in his eyes that always made me narrow mine in suspicion. Then he stretched out his hand toward me, fingers curled slightly like he already knew I’d take it. It wasn't like I had a choice. “What are you doing?” I asked, brows lifted, and my tone clipped with amusement as I slid my palm into his. His hand was warm. Solid. The pads of his fingers rough where they brushed the inside of my wrist. “You’ll see,” he murmured, tugging me gently from my chair. His smile was a secret I hadn’t earned yet. Before I could demand answers, soft jazz bloomed

One hundred and eighty three

Lianna: Edward took my hand again, tighter this time and led me deeper into the garden. The scent of roses and wild bushes wafted into my nose, something earthy and ancient that clung to the soil like a secret. I giggled as I followed, nearly stumbling over a patch of uneven stone, and he laughed, catching me before I could fall. We slipped past tall hedges and marble statues dusted in moonlight, and I knew with the way his fingers clenched around mine, that he was looking for somewhere dark, where the rest of the world couldn’t touch us. This garden was a maze, thank the Goddess. A beautiful, overgrown jungle of indulgence and intimacy, with corners no one ever wandered into except maybe the stars. By the time he stopped, I’d swiped the nearly full wine bottle from the table we passed. I stood in the middle of the shaded enclave and tipped my head back, taking a long, audacious gulp of the red liquid. It slid down my throat,

Lianna: I had never felt more alive than I did last night. Every nerve in my body had sung with fire, every inch of me claimed and worshipped under the stars like I was something divine. Edward had taken me in that garden like a man starved, like he had been waiting his whole life to finally taste something real. And maybe, in that moment, we both had. And for the first time, I unleashed my true self. Whisps of white and black shadows had poured out my body in the most angelic way, curling around each other to form a string of light mixed with darkness, close, but never touching each other. Edward had sank his teeth into my neck, marking me as his and in that moment, in that surge of intense energy, I had let out a loud cry of pleasure mixed with pain. To Edward, it must have sounded like music to his ears. By the time he carried me back to our chambers, I was too drunk on him to even notice how tired I was. I’d collapsed on his chest, naked, sweaty, limbs tangled in

One hundred and eighty five

Lianna: The air in the hall was suffocating, tight, pressing against every corner of my skin like the heat of a blacksmith's forge. The walls of the courtroom seemed to close in the moment I stepped in, hand in hand with Edward. I could feel his grip tighten slightly, almost imperceptibly, as our eyes fell on the man seated at the center of the gathering. Ethan. His gaze landed on us and didn’t waver. But I saw it. That subtle shift in his posture. The way his spine straightened, like the presence of our united front had finally forced him to understand that his days of immunity were over. Good. I wanted him to feel that fear. I wanted him to sit with it. We took our seats as murmurs spread through the chamber. Some voices were hushed, others hissed outright with emotion. The elders looked especially tense. Some wwr already whispering amongst themselves, robes rustling as they fidgeted, eyes darting between one another. An elder rose. He was tall and lean, his

Edward: My journey from the courtroom to my study was a tumultuous one. I fought back tears I hadn't shed in years. Hell, I fought the urge to turn on my feed and go back to the court to change my mind over what I had said concerning Ethan, but that was futile. The judgement had been made and as bad as it made me feel, I had to be rational. I had to embrace reality and see Ethan for who he really was beyond my brother. I slammed the door behind me harder than I meant to. The sound echoed off the tall bookshelves like a gavel dropped by the gods. I’d always found comfort in this room. In its silence and its order, but today it felt more like a cage than a sanctuary. I could easily just step back out and take a walk or even go horse riding, but I knew it wasn't going to take away that terrible misery that was keeping me company right now. Which meant running away from whatever I was feeling wasn't the cure to my pain. I ran a hand through my hair, pacing a

Edward: The echo of my boots against the marble hallway was all I could hear as I stepped out of the study, my hand still clenched from how tightly I’d been gripping the edge of the desk moments ago. My jaw ached from how tightly I was clenching it, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Not now. I told myself I wasn’t going to interfere. I promised Lianna I wouldn’t. But promises made in the eye of a storm rarely stand when the wind changes. And gods, it changed. The moment the elders started screaming over each other like a pack of senile hounds, all clamoring for blood, I had to shut them up. I didn’t even remember raising my voice until the silence hit. Until they all turned to me, and I, like a damn fool, spoke the decree. Now my baby brother would be banished to the Drekavac Hollow, and somehow, my voice had sealed it. The air grew colder the deeper I went, but I barely noticed. My fingers brushed the stone walls out of
