Each next page is more devastating than the last

EPILOGUE: Kitt
I hope kitt gets revived Im not accepting his death

So, with a slight nod of my head, I let Blair go.
Why is Blair still alive but Kitt and Adena aren’t?

She knows this game. And Kit loves it.
They did not actually name their Daughter after Kitt

“Easy, Azer. Don’t hurt your foot with such a blatant lie.”
🥹🥹

Paedyn Gray is finally mine. But only because my brother is no longer here.
Ladies and gentlemen I am in ruin idk what to do with myself anymore

“It’s Adena’s boy from Loot.” She chokes on his name. “Mak.”
Bye im done with this

“I love you. I love you. I love y—”
His mouth is on mine, tasting the words from my lips.
Look I don’t want to seem rude or interupt but uhm… like yk you guys have an audience right? And when are we going to address the fact that Kai isn’t Edrics son?

“You almost died thinking it was me who killed you. Thinking that I would ever lay a hand on you again for any reason other than a caress. I told you I would never fight you again, but there I was, hurting you like I promised not to.”
Explain this Lauren Roberts

Kai’s words are choked. “I heard you killed me?”
Did she kill herself?

But Kai…
Kai stands before me, so strong and stunning. I can almost hear his voice, the sound distantly ringing from the depths of my mind….
“Where is she?!”
It’s so familiar, so real—
“Where the hell is she?!”
Nah this is crazy HOW???

“No, it was just a nightmare. Today is my Trial.”
Ellie shakes her head. “I’m sorry, Paedyn.”
My knees hit the floor.
I held the dagger as it sunk into his chest.
Goodbye

Gulping down air, I force my frantic thoughts to calm.
It was just a nightmare.
Nahhh don’t piss me off

Kai
I am grief. I am sorrow. I am anguish alike.
These short ass chapters are going to be the end of meee

An arm wraps around my torn neck, pressing a damp cloth over my nose.
My knees buckle beneath me.
My blazing eyes roll back.
Lauren Roberts wtf?

Rage surges through me.
“You.”
I know he hears the accusing word from where he sits comfortably in that glass box.
Kitt I cannot and will not defend this WTF

It’s a confession I was too cowardly to voice—and now it will become my biggest regret.
But I whisper it now, over and over. “I love you, Kai. I love you. I love you. I love you.”
Im actually going to start crying. I’m in denial he isn’t really dead I refuse to believe that

His eyes stray from mine. “See…”
I lean in, hanging on words I’ll never get to hear.
Because the light leaves those gray eyes.
This is a joke right?! Oh my days Im going to cry if this isn’t a joke

Looking down, I brace a hand against Kai’s cheek. “You’re going to be fine, okay?”
It’s the same lie I told Adena in this very Pit.
HELLO?!!!

One last time, he whispers, “It’s okay. It was a good fight.”
And then the blade is buried to its hilt.
I scream.
Nah Im a Kitt defender till the end but this is on him I can’t defend this

The dagger’s tip meets his chest.
I’m begging now. “Please! Kai, I need you!”
“It’s okay,” he repeats softly. “It’ll be okay. Just help me now.”
Hey hey hey?!!!

“Through the chest, remember?” A tear rolls down my cheek, carving a path through the sand sticking there. “That is how I want to die. Just like the ones I’ve loved.”
The Enforcer breaks.

Every single word on this page is devastating

“It’s okay,”

“Adena died here. I want to die here too.”

“I couldn’t save her then. But I can save you now.”
Paedyn you and I both know that you won’t die

Fight back, Pae.
I need you to fight back.
Do you want to destroy me?

His shadow falls over me, and terror grips the heart that once felt nothing but love for him. He is devastation dressed with the shell of devotion.
So this is it. In the end, an Azer will always choose duty. And my death has just become that.
What kind of Bs is this?

He wishes to hear that his marriage to Paedyn won’t change anything between us. And for our sake, I will pretend that it hasn’t already.
“You and me.” My throat is dry. “Always.”
Yall will make me start crying

He brings a napkin to his mouth before coughing into it. I narrow my eyes at the hoarse sound he cuts off quickly.
If Kitt has some kind of illness ill rioottt

Kitt has been coughing a bit too much for my liking 🤨

“The people want to send you back into your own Trials.”
Omds this is so blatantly hunger games I cannot 😭

“Privacy?” His chuckle skitters up my spine, awakening my sleepy senses. “Darling, I’d be in this bed beside you if my brother hadn’t slipped a ring onto your finger.”
😩
