Chapter 246 

Chapter 24.6 

Ackeira pursed her lips

Don’t think I didn’t notice the pain you endured, how deeply he wounded you. I was the one who listened to you cry, night after night, because of him. When you thought everyone was asleep, you’d sob into your pillow until dawn.” 

Aekeira lowered her eyes. It wasn’t easy to let go,she admitted, her voice quiet. But when faced with the choice between giving us a chance or living every day halfdead inside, I chose to take that chance.” 

Even though he’s halfmad and soulless?Emeriel’s voice held an edge

Aekeira’s lips lifted in a soft smile. Even then.She looked up at Emeriel, her eyes bright. And you know what, Em?” 

Don’t call meSigh. What?” 

These past few weeks with him have been the happiest of my life.” Aekeira’s eyes sparkled, a dreamy look on her face. I’ve never felt more alive. More fulfilled.” 

Utterly disgusting. Utterly adorable

Give the grand king a chance,” Aekeira urged her. Listen to him. Then decide what you want to do. Running away is not really the answer. The Emeriel I once knew understood that.” 

I’m not sure I want to be that Emeriel anymore. That girl let her heart leadand look at the bottomless pit she fell into. Now, I only follow my head.” 

Aekeira went silent

Finally, she said, And there’s nothing wrong with that.” Rising to her feet, she added, I’ll go fetch Madam Liviashe needs to know you’re awake.” 

Emeriel nodded, watching as her sister walked toward the door

But Aekeira paused, turning back, her hand resting on the doorknob

Maybe you don’t have to be that girl anymore,she said quietly, but you can’t lose her completely, Em. Because that girl survived hell. She endured slavery, the hell of sleeping with a beast. Faced the agony of heat and its recovery, of shouldering a crushing secret, and still lived through being severed from her soulmate. She went through all of that, and shesurvived.” 

Emeriel’s chest tightened hard. She looked away, her sister’s words hanging in the air

That girl was the best part of you,” Aekeira added. She was the strongest part. The bravest. She’s everything that made you, you. Maybe you don’t have to be her entirely anymore, but you can still carry her with you. Because she balanced you out. It’s alright to let your head leadjust give your heart a chance to follow, too.” 

Stop, please. Emeriel stared down at her hands. They were shaking

I love you, Em.Her sister opened the door, offering a small, sad smile. I will always love you, no matter who you are.” 

Long after she left, Emeriel whispered into the quiet, I love you too, Keira.”

Chapter 246 

Three months after returning from Urai

Emeriel woke to a splitting headache and an even sharper ache in her stomach

Sunlight streamed through the window, assaulting her sensitive eyes, but she had neither the strength nor the will to rise and close the curtains. Instead, she threw a pillow over her face, shutting out the world

Another day dawned

Another day to hope for her Beloved’s return, to pray he would come and take her back

12 

She didn’t care if she had to return as his slave; Emeriel was ready to serve him for the rest of her life. She would accept any crumb of affection he could give her, if only he would come for her

I’ll be a good girl, I promise,she mumbled hoarsely, her eyes too dry, too exhausted to summon tears

Another day to wish for death

Outside her door, voices filtered through

She was halfdead, severely dehydrated,” Prince Daviel snapped. If our men hadn’t found her when they did, she would be gone by now.” 

And I ask again, for the thousandth time, what is going on here, Aekeira?King Orestus’s voice boomed, laced with irritation. Why on earth would your sister even attempt to journey back to that savage kingdom that enslaved her?” 

Only Aekeira’s muffled sobs answered him

Motherfucker!the king cursed. When will either of you speak to me!? What the hell is wrong with both of you? It’s as if those beasts sent two strangers back to me! You’re both either crying, locked away in your rooms, moping, not eating, or crying even more.” 

Emeriel groaned. Her head was pounding too hard for this

Go away. Just leave me alone! She wanted to scream, but she was too tired to muster the strength to shout

And her stomachit was on fire

Blessedly, she drifted back into sleep

A sudden, piercing pain ripped through her, jolting her awake. What the… 

Another one followed, sharper and more excruciating, Emeriel doubled over, a strangled cry tearing from her throat. Struggling to her feet, she clutched her belly as she staggered to the lavatory, desperate to relieve herself

But when she pulled down her drawers, there wasblood. So much blood

It soaked the fabric, trailing down her legs
