“Scarlett, I love you like the stars love the night. All the way through the darkness,”

“Well, clearly,” Scarlett retorted with a roll of her eyes. “He seems very upset that we are standing in his sand.”

HIS sand ?!! Lmaooo idk why that is so funny

Her twin flame. The one who came for her. The one who wouldn’t let her go. The one who claimed her. She wanted to give him everything she had.

Until he knelt before his queen. Until he knelt before his twin flame.

He hoisted her onto his hips, his hands squeezing her ass. She wrapped her legs around him tight. Her mouth was still on his when he started towards the hallway, then through a fire portal.

“No,” Talwyn said. There was no room for debate, no room for discussion in her tone. Scarlett heard Sorin suck in a breath beside her. Scarlett… came down the bond, but she somehow threw that connection from her mind, blocking him out. “Shit,” she heard him mutter under his breath.

“Relax, Brother. I told you she is a delight, especially when she squeezes Sorin’s balls.”

The entire room went still and silent, except for Briar to her left, who chuckled. “I swear to Anahita, Scarlett, sometimes I think you hold back information just to reveal it at the time it will cause the most dramatics.”

Lmaoooo

Sorin burst out laughing. “Broomsticks? Why would they ride around on broomsticks?” She scowled at him. “That’s what is said about Witches in the human stories.” Sorin only laughed harder. “You cannot be serious?” Scarlett glared at him, but a small smile formed on her lips. She’d never seen Sorin laugh so hard. She’d never seen him so…happy, despite having to return to the human lands tomorrow.

crossing his arms across his muscled chest. She tried not to stare as those muscles rippled with his movements.

Maybe Briar was right. Maybe she did enjoy the grand reveal a little too much.

100% she does lol

After the secret chamber, she had planned to meet with Callan this morning to explain everything, and let him know he was going home.

Please do tell him everything and i do mean EVERYTHING

“Finish the Trials, find the keys, and come home.” “Come home?”

home? To the darkness? So she wont be able to be with Sorin?!

“Ass up, my queen,” he crooned,

OH?!

His queen. His wife. His twin flame.

Here we go, Scarlett thought, bracing herself for his reaction. “I’m going to go and ask Mikale.”

HA! You are joking right

realization slammed into him. She had given him that soft smile one other time, aside from when she spoke of Juliette— when she had said goodbye to him to go to Mikale.

Scarlett DONT FUCKING DO IT

He didn’t have time for this. Something was wrong with his wife.

she’d used the Blood Magic she’d been studying in that chamber in the dark hours of the night. She’d used a blocking Mark to create a barrier in their twin flame bond to keep him from sensing her and her from sensing him.

Scarlet. You fucking idiot

The cost had been the trust she very well could have irrevocably broken the second she’d sliced her palm and let her blood drip on that Mark she’d so carefully drawn in the dirt.

Right. I just know you broke him and his trust

“I am Tarek. Queen Talwyn’s twin flame and rightful heir of the Earth Court.”

What??? No? Tarek? He was pressumed dead!
