Broken Are the Believers (The Fractured Realm #2)

by Ciar Pfeffer

Of all the monsters she had ever fought, she was the worst of them all.

A foreign consciousness perhaps?

You are not human

Though in the end, technically, he had left her.

All creatures on Kerath were at least part human. Mi’Cra, wolves, Bloodbearers, and humans. But not her.

She was merely a pawn in an unknown game.

Every breath she had taken so far wasn’t her own, making her a victim of destiny.

She had never liked pure darkness—it had always terrified her.

She will not tolerate you disobeying her orders.”

Whatever they want her for, they want her alive.”

It might not be the time, but Grey needed Bear as badly as Bear wanted him.

Keeping her safe was the only thing he cared about.

Would he always be bound to the same destiny?

“Caet appears to be . . . different than we originally thought?”

“I see you haven’t changed,” Grey scoffed.

Nothing he had ever said or done had indicated anything other than devotion to her.

“No, you should have told us who Caet was,”

“You really have not changed, you know that?”

“Wraith never would have let you die.”

“This is all my fault.”

“I didn’t mean to scare him away.”

Wraith is my home.

The connection between them more than confirmed. Reaffirmed.

Mine.

I will not make the same mistake again. She will live.

There was nothing for Caet and Wraith but death.

“You are everything they did not want you to be. I hope I get to see this through.”

Pairing terrified Grey. More than the world collapsing.

But even all of that didn’t compare to everything that had happened that day. Maybe Bear was right . . .

“I am Raziel, Nantra’s bonded mate.”

But to say it as simply as possible, Wraith has only ever been trying to protect Caet. And whatever Wraith does, we do,”

Wraith had never left her.

My starlight.

Caet had lived longer than most, and unconventionally, compared to others like her. Never human. Always powerful. And always Wraith’s.

Caetia, the strongest of all the Elflings. A true Faeted.

“But it should be easier to control her now.”
