THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 39: The Thing Behind the King
Orion's whispered words echoed through the collapsing arena."No..."I hadn't believed anything could frighten him.Not caution. Not uncertainty. Fear—raw and instinctive—tightened every syllable.Beyond the shattered gateway, the vast crimson eye remained fixed on him. It neither blinked nor shifted. It simply watched, and that silent attention settled over the arena with the crushing weight of a mountain.Behind Orion, his army froze.Thousands of creatures that looked capable of swallowing kingdoms lowered their heads in perfect unison.Not to him.To whatever waited in the darkness beyond.The little girl retreated a single step, her composure finally cracking."We have to close the gate," she whispered. "Now."The other Seraphina never looked away from the abyss."What is it?"The child swallowed hard."I don't know its true name.""Then what do you call it?""The First Hunger."The title alone made the blood run cold in my veins.Orion turned back toward us, though his eyes kept
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 37: The Child in the Mirror
The little girl’s voice lingered across the arena long after her lips stopped moving.Neither of us answered.The mirror beneath our feet remained unnervingly still, its polished surface untouched by the jagged cracks splitting the surrounding stone. Every instinct screamed at me to step back, to put distance between us and whatever was happening, yet I couldn't tear my eyes away from the child staring up from the glass.She couldn't have been older than seven.Dark, tangled hair framed a pale, delicate face. Resting against her chest was a crimson crystal, pulsing with the exact same steady rhythm as the Dragon Mark burning beneath my sleeve. There was nothing threatening about her—no heavy aura, no visible magic.That frightened me more than any monster could have.Beside me, the other Seraphina lowered the Sword of Dusk by a fraction, her knuckles white on the hilt."You've seen her before," I whispered, the words scraping down my throat.She didn't deny it. "I've dreamed
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 36: Chains of Judgment
The first chain coiled around my ankle before I could react.A crushing cold surged through my leg. It wasn't the clean bite of ice but something older, heavier, as though the weight of forgotten centuries had settled into my bones. The glowing metal tightened, and memories ripped through me with such force that my vision blurred.I was six, crouched beneath Father's desk after snapping the hilt from one of his ceremonial daggers.I was twelve, slipping into the royal library long after midnight, convinced I could decipher texts no child was meant to read.I was sixteen, laughing so hard after finally knocking Rowan onto his back during training that neither of us could lift a sword for several minutes.The memories flashed past in a dizzying rush.Then they were gone.The chain had consumed them."No!"I drove the Sword of Dawn downward. Golden light burst from the blade, cleaving the enchanted links apart. They shattered into bright fragments that hissed against the obsidian before
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 35: The Trial of Two
The fall should have killed me.Instead, the crimson void swallowed every sense of direction until up and down lost all meaning. Heat wrapped around me without burning, while ribbons of scarlet light drifted through the darkness, carrying whispers in languages so ancient they stirred something in my blood. None of the words made sense, yet each one left a dull ache behind, as though I should have remembered them.My boots struck solid ground hard enough to jar my knees.I stumbled, caught my balance, and tightened my grip on the Sword of Dawn before it slipped from my hand. Its golden blade burned brighter than ever, scattering warm reflections across a floor of polished obsidian. Above me stretched a sky crowded with drifting lights. They looked like stars at first, but instinct told me otherwise. Every glowing point was a memory suspended in the endless darkness.I wasn't alone.Only a few paces away, the other Seraphina rose without hurry. She brushed a sleeve as though removing du
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 34: The Other Seraphina
Pain split through my skull with such force that the Hall lurched out of focus.The Sword of Dawn throbbed in my hand, its low hum vibrating through my arm and into my chest. I dropped to one knee as memories crashed over me in a relentless tide. None of them belonged to me—or at least they shouldn't have. Faces I'd never seen twisted with grief and triumph. I remembered battles I'd never fought, wounds I'd never suffered, promises I'd never made. Names I didn't recognize carried the weight of lifelong friendships, and every borrowed memory settled inside me with terrifying familiarity.Then the torrent stopped.Silence rushed in, pressing against my ears until I could hear my own ragged breathing.When I forced myself to my feet, the woman across the chamber hadn't moved. She stood beneath the crimson glow as though she'd been waiting for centuries, watching me with an unreadable calm that unsettled me far more than open hostility would have.For a heartbeat, my mind refused to accep
THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE CHAPTER 33: The Harbinger's Oath
No one moved.The Hall seemed to contract around Selene as she stood beneath the fractured gate, one hand resting lightly on her crystal spear. Behind her, thousands of soldiers waited in disciplined silence. Not a single banner stirred. Not a single shield shifted. They stood like statues carved from the mountain's depths, their crimson-and-black standards rising above them like a forest of iron pikes.Her final words hung heavily in the air.I've spent the last twenty years waiting to kill the final Dragon Queen.The Dragon Mark burned beneath my sleeve. Not with pain this time, but with a sharp, undeniable recognition. Heat spread steadily through my forearm until the Sword of Dawn answered with a low vibration, its blade humming softly in my grasp.Selene noticed. A faint, razor-thin smile touched her lips. "So it recognizes me too."I tightened my grip on the hilt. "We've never met.""No," she said, her mismatched eyes locked on mine. "But your blood remembers."A quiet,
