“Yes—unfortunately.”
Kastian returns and Arulius takes to the sky, his golden wings shimmering in the setting sun’s rays as he flies back to Nesbrim. Gods, I wanted to at least punch him…
The Death God looks perplexed, but I see a glint of relief in his eyes too.
“Well? Out with it.”
Kastian shoots me a look but sighs as he walks straight to the table to sit. “We aren’t to step foot in Nesbrim for seven months.” He rubs the back of his head. “The bargain begins then and we’re bringing her home no matter what.”
Seven months?
My heart sinks.
Moro frowns. “Well, what are we doing until then?”
Kastian looks up, his elbows on his knees and his fingers interlaced in front of him. “We’re going to become unstoppable.”

Elodie
Tomorrow is as ugly as it is beautiful.
I set my palms against the crystal windows overlooking Nesbrim. The cottages below are dusted orange in the sunset’s warm glow. I’ve grown to love the sunsets here. I let a hot breath curl up the pane as Arulius thrusts his dick roughly into me from behind. A loose smile turns my lips upwards with pleasure.
It’s been six months since they took me. Six long fucking months since I last saw Margo and my friends escape safely. Six months of harrowing pain and suffering at Violet’s hands.
Six months of pure hell.
I’m not sure when I broke—well, broke more than I already was—but after ten-hour days of Violet shattering my bones beneath her heels and bleeding me dry day in and day out, I stopped resisting at some point. I stopped fighting and started to accept it. Accepted my fate here… and gave in to my body’s lust for the one who betrayed me.
The one I hate more than anyone else... because it’s better than feeling nothing, isn't it?
Arulius lets out a roar and grabs my hips tightly as he buries himself in my pussy with one last hard thrust. He holds me against his sweaty chest as his dick throbs inside me. I press against the crystal panes and moan in sync with him, feeling every pulse of the Eostrix inside me. I enjoy it too much and it makes me hate myself. I furrow my brows and flex my jaw with annoyance.
I hate him.
I hate him for what he’s made me.
He slowly pulls himself from me and I straighten, turning toward him with rage building in my chest. His amethyst eyes shimmer with what he knows comes next.
I back him onto our bed. Yes—ourbed. We’ve lived together this entire time, just as he promised we would. He tilts his chin up obediently and I wrap my hands around his neck tightly. His Adam’s apple bobs beneath my palm and sends a surge of heat through me. His gray hair, tipped with gold, flickers in the glow of the suns and his sharp jawline begs to be bruised.
I’ve become a horribly violent human—scratch that—Eostrix.
He gasps and winces as I squeeze his throat with the fire I feel burning within me. The anger that’s been smoldering in the darkest parts of my soul for six fucking months.
Hemade me this. He made me wrathful and violent, because I can’t forgive him. Not for what he did. Not for the lies he spun or for bonding with me.
I’ll make him regret every decision he's ever made.
“Elodie,” he rasps through what little air he can get.
I narrow my eyes at him and squeeze tighter, feeling the bones beneath his flesh snapping. I feel the pain in my own throat and relish it. “Shut up, Arulius.”
His purple eyes close and he flinches under me. I loosen my grip and slide my hand over his chest. The pain isn’t enough. It never is anymore. Small, scalpel-size blades of aura rise from my fingertips and cut into his skin just over his ribs. He lets out a sharp cry and grits his teeth as I take a deep breath and hum in the agony that I wring from him through the bond. His raw and deep pain is the only feeling I can wash my soul clean with at the end of the day.
If I have to suffer, so should he.
