He had already started to undress after retiring to his room.
👀👀👀
And the Death Speaker was staring at Cas, shocked, as if she herself were the sun and he had never laid eyes on it until that very moment. “How did you do that?” His voice was a whisper that only the two of them could hear.
Without a word, Varen rose to his feet and rushed toward the sound of the scream. Cas stared after him for a moment, dumbfounded. She was surprised he hadn’t run in the opposite direction. Yet another thing that didn’t fit the selfish, cowardly narrative that she had written about him in her head.
Am I gonna fall in love with him? I bet I’m gonna fall in love with him.
she inched a bit closer to him—close enough that she could have reached out and touched his arm. And after a few minutes, she did.
“You don’t have to stop. I kind of like the feel of your fingers against me—it tells me that you’re still here.” Her breath hitched.
“You have to let some things go, Thorn,” he said, gentler. “Not everything—just whatever things you can. Or else it’s all going to get too exhausting to carry one of these days.”
You’re a rather…captivating combination of fearless and faint-hearted.”
“I’m not going to bite you.” A corner of his mouth hitched. “Not unless you want me to.”
Please do sir 😮💨
“I’m fine.” He sounded like he was losing his battle to stay awake. “Just go to sleep,” he added, yawning again. “You’re safe here.”
😭😭😭
Her hands still twitched and her breathing remained raspy. Uneven. Those breaths didn’t even out when she walked into her room. Because Elander was reclining on her bed, his hands tucked behind his head,
Am I supposed to be in love with him already? Cause I am
head. “I shouldn’t have done that.” His voice was a rasp. “No. You probably shouldn’t have.” Her words were just as hoarse as his had been. “But maybe you should do it again.”
“And if I did what I wanted with you, it…well, it wouldn’t be a very effective way of keeping you safe.”
Pardonnn??
She had missed him. And he had missed her, judging by the way his tired eyes brightened at the sight of her.
She ignored the quip. “Maybe I can just come clean? I could talk to him and make him understand.” He shrugged. “Or maybe you can just set him on fire and be done with it.”
Lmao i love him
“I’m absolutely terrified,” he repeated as he reached and pushed aside a strand of her hair that had plastered itself to her forehead. Then he wrapped his other arm around her and pulled her closer. “And yet, the thought of missing my chance to hold you like this is somehow more terrifying.”
“I still feel like we could know each other better,” she whispered. “What did you have in mind, precisely?” “Do I really need to elaborate?” “No. I just wanted to hear you say it out loud.”
A flash of brilliant light blinded her, and when the white dots before her eyes faded away, the servant lay in the corner. Crumpled. Perfectly still. Her arms splayed out at awkward angles, like the wings of a bird that had slammed into a window. Was she dead? Cas didn’t look closer to see. Because Asra had returned to her. She still lived. Her eyes were still closed, but now she was taking deeper breaths, louder breaths, and she was surrounded by a soft light.
Oh cas. Oh no. That’s not good.
Continue to oppose me, and I will kill every single person that ever mattered to you. I will do it without flinching.
Okay I don’t like him anymore lol
It struck the space directly below his heart. And then it bounced harmlessly away from him. And he laughed.
Fûck. He has fucking magic doesn’t he?!
The wolf from her nightmares stood over her broken body, its head low and its teeth bared at the army approaching her. Protecting her? No; that didn’t make sense. Nothing made sense anymore.
IS ELANDER THE WOLF AND HES A God AND SHES A GODDESS????
“I negotiated on your behalf.”
That has to be elander
The person standing behind her was not Elander. It had spoken in his voice, and yet it was not him. It was not a person at all. He was too beautiful to be a person.
Standing by my theory that he’s a God……
“Your name is not Azalea,” he continued, stepping inside. “It is not Thorn, or Casia Greythorne, or Silenna Tessur. It is Valori de Solasen, the true Queen of the Kingdom of Melech, and the Queen-Empress of the Kethran Empire.”
Ho. Ly. Fûck. I wasn’t expecting that
