Chapter 291
Emeriel was glad Daemonikai had returned to his senses. Whatever had overtaken him that night had been terrifying. Uncontrollable.
She could still see the wild, vacant look in his eyes. She could still feel what had happened afterward.
Shoving those vile, disturbing memories down, Emeriel thought of something else.
The days before that horrible night. Their days together at the cottage.
She thought of the male who was her soulmate. Who had never given up on her, even when she had given up on herself.
Daemonikai had chased her tirelessly. Relentlessly. He had been determined to prove their bond deserved another chance.
Her grand king had stood proudly in court and fought for her. Before an audience filled with those who hated her kind, he declared her his Soulbond. His Woman.
And Emeriel wouldn’t lose him over this. Never.
“I know that look.”
Emeriel blinked, looking at her sister, whose head had lifted again to watch her. How long had she been observing her?
Aekeira’s brow lifted. “You’re not giving up on him, are you?”
“Never,” Emeriel whispered matter–of–factly.
Aekeira nodded. The corners of her lips tugged upward. “Mmm. I didn’t think you would.”
Then, she settled her head back onto Emeriel’s belly.
“No protests?” Emeriel was mildly surprised.
Aekeira sighed. “Emeriel, you have loved this male even when he was nothing more than a mindless beast we had to serve to survive. Even as you laid there, unconscious and dying, I knew when you woke, you wouldn’t give up on him. It’s just who you are. And I respect that.”
Emeriel’s lips softened into a faint smile. “Thank you.”
“Who would have believed, ten years ago, that this would be our life today? That you, Em, would get to live like this. A girl. A princess.”
Emeriel’s gaze
drifted to the ceiling. “It amazes me too. If someone had told me back then that I would be here, living this life, I would have thought them insane.”
“I used to think the best thing that could ever happen to me was being sold to a kind aristocrat.” Aekeira let out a small, bitter laugh. “Someone who might make me his breeder. Maybe even let me service his men to ‘keep them happy‘ but would at least offer me protection. He’d keep others, the ones he didn’t authorize, from hurting me. That was my dream, Em. That was hope to me back then.”
Emeriel didn’t chastise her for the harshness of the thought. She saw the truth in it.
Back then, such a life would have been considered a blessing. Compared to the endless horrors they had endured before meeting the Urekai, it was almost a mercy.
“I never thought we would find love here, Keira,” Emeriel said softly. “Powerful men who care for us in return. Who want to protect us, possess us, and keep us for themselves instead of sharing us. So what if they have more demons to fight than the demonchasers?”
She paused. “Now I fully understand why you did what you did, Em. Because it’s exactly what I would have done for Lord Vladya. What I have already done for him in the past.”
Emeriel stroked her sister’s hair gently. “I remember. That day, when my secret came out in the courtyard, Lord Vladya had a terrible episode. You told me.”
