Chapter 334 He Loved Her First And Never Stopped There are doorways a person walks through once and spends the rest of their life measuring time against, before it and after it, and the strange mercy is that you never know you’re standing in one until you’ve already crossed. Gavriel
Chapter 333 It Has Always Been You (Damn It) “You went out,” Tristan said, rising from the chair. River paused in the doorway. “I did. Elowen and Cassia hosted a—” “You didn’t tell me.” She blinked. “You were in meetings all day. It didn’t seem like it needed a formal
Chapter 332 You Had It. You Handed It To A Table. As the Dragon King tried to soothe a howling green dragon, across Drakenfell, Gavriel Sterling lay unconscious. His mind and soul were visiting another life far away. ✦✦✦ Gavriel Sterling stood at the edge of a sunlit courtyard he
Chapter 331 Mama’s Going To Jail But Mama Loves You Garrett had dated Guinevere Ashford for four months. Watching a dragon fall from the sky, interrupting her execution didn’t even make top five. The dating highlight reel included: FAKING: 1) Multiple pregnancy scares. Every. Damn. Argument. 2) Dramatic fainting spells
Chapter 330 What The Hell Is Correct, Garrett The executioner had performed thirty-seven executions in his career. He had never had an opinion about the person kneeling at the block. He had an opinion about this one. She had critiqued his hood. Guinevere’s lips curled in a last, defiant sneer.
Chapter 329 Death Row Roast: At Least One Ex Showed Up DRAKENFELL – TWO MINUTES BEFORE EXECUTION Gavriel Sterling was unconscious. The execution was not going to wait for him to wake up. Hundreds of wolves filled the square. Tiberon Drakenfell stood at the front. His posture was military. His
Chapter 328 Not Blessed By Fate The problem with growing up beside someone is that you don’t notice them changing until one day you pick them up and the person in your arms isn’t the person you put down last time. Tristan Aelindor had been in love for seven years
Chapter 327 I Would Find You Every Time Two years in two minutes. That was how the vision moved. Gav watched a boy who had his eyes and his instincts and his complete inability to leave things alone grow up beside a girl with white hair, and every year the
Chapter 326 The Boy Who Ruled Time For A Nameless Girl Past lives were supposed to be abstract. Theoretical. The kind of thing mages debated over wine and Hyran referenced in lectures nobody asked for. Gavriel Sterling watched himself and thought: that kid is going to be a problem. The
Chapter 325 Can We Keep Her? Please, Father. There are plans that are brilliant, and there are plans that are terrible, and there are plans that are both at the same time. Sneaking a six-year-old into the Fae palace required three things: a servant’s entrance, a distraction, and the absolute
Chapter 324 Come With Me, Said The Fae Prince You know who you are, Gavriel Sterling. But you have forgotten who you were. Gavriel blinked. The air tasted like pine sap and wild jasmine. He was standing in a courtyard of crystalline stone, the arches threaded with glowing vines. Two
Chapter 323 And Then There Were Three DRAKENFELL – GAMMA QUARTERS – THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE EXECUTION The castle was empty in the way castles are empty when the living go to watch the dying, and Serena Drakenfell was the only person left behind. Gav’s breathing was ragged. Shallow, uneven pulls
Chapter 322 What Did You Do, Father? DARKHOWLER – ONE HOUR BEFORE EXECUTION Agnes barely made it to the basin. The bile came without warning, acidic and vicious, her body folding over the marble rim. Her knuckles went white against the stone. Her throat burned. Her eyes watered, and the
Chapter 321 The Line Between Killing And Fucking BELLATRIX’S PARLOR – THREE HOURS BEFORE EXECUTION Tiberon closed the door behind him. “Gavriel Sterling is dying.” Bellatrix turned a page. “Yes. I heard.” “He is dying from dark magic that was seeded into his body before the matebond was formed. His
Chapter 320 Something Was Done To That Boy Dex’s eyes went to Serena first. Her face was tear-streaked. Her composure was gone, replaced by the raw, unguarded expression of a woman watching a man she cared about die and having no magic, no portal, no ancient power that could stop
Chapter 319 Sell Tickets To The Reckoning, Damn Right Four hours ago, Garrett called him a shark while he threw a rubber ball at the ceiling. Right now, the shark was standing in a doorframe unable to move because the person who was dying was someone he had no reason
Chapter 318 Two Mates, One Distress Signal Gavriel Sterling rejected his matebond at 4:17 in the afternoon. By 4:47, his lips were purple and Alaric Kestrel was running. At 4:42, Serena was holding a cloth to his forehead, going back on her word, the exact thing both her mates had
Chapter 317 Rejected Fate, Felt Fucking Great “I, Gavriel Sterling, reject you, Guinevere Ashford, as my mate.” The words left his mouth in a voice he didn’t recognize. Flat. Final. Spoken in the cell Guinevere Ashford was being held in. An ugly room to do the ugliest thing he had
Chapter 316 Good Girl. Cum. Now. Holy SHIT. Marking venom healed, which was useful. It knocked her out every damn time, which was a minor inconvenience. But it also stole hours from her memory, and that part she never got used to. She woke up in Dex’s arms with no
Chapter 315 Time To Hunt, Motherfuckers Maelor needed thirty seconds. He got exactly thirty seconds. The door opened on thirty-one, and the Crown Prince of Drakenfell stood in the frame. Alaric checked his pocket watch. “Thirty-one.” Hyran held out his hand. Alaric dropped five gold into it without looking up.
