Kenrik held my palm and kissed it. “You don’t know what I felt as I watched you heal my mom, as I held on to you. I knew if I discovered somebody such as you, I’d be at peace. Apparently I used to be in error. You left, and also you tore a gap in my coronary heart. Then I noticed you within the distance, flying towards the palace. I didn’t dare hope you’d come again. As you flew previous town, I marked your path. As I gathered provides, my household begged me to stay. I left all of them.”

“Why would you danger the journey with winter coming? They’re anxious sick. Kelyn is in search of you. Let’s get you out of right here. I’ll name Seren. We’ll take you residence.”

Seren. Seren?

“I traveled for weeks to reach right here,” Kenrik mumbled.

He suffered for weeks whereas I used to be secure. He was chilly whereas I used to be protected. “How do you know I used to be right here?”

“I didn’t should guess. Caedryn’s males captured me after I handed over the mountains, after which it not mattered.”

“How lengthy have you ever been right here?” I used to be horrified. I used to be too overwhelmed in my self-loathing to understand my pricey pal was proper below my toes, imprisoned. Due to me.

“I not know. Weeks.”

I gasped. “Kenrik, forgive me.”

“There’s nothing to forgive. I’m at peace, having seen you as soon as once more.”

A voice spoke from throughout the room. “Such touching, heart-wrenching phrases. Niawen, you like this man. What of our love? What of our youngster?”

I didn’t trouble to offer Caedryn a look. Kenrik’s expression shattered what remained of my dignity.

“You’re with youngster? Niawen?” Kenrik requested. “Inform me that’s not true.”

“I can’t.”

“That’s proper,” Caedryn mentioned. “You gave me the vows of affection. We united our gentle. You lay in my arms night time after night time. Our love is binding.”

I rounded on Caedryn. I used to be afraid to fulfill his eyes. Afraid of what I’d see. Would his gentle be swallowed up? “Why would you doubt? Why would you torture Kenrik? I gave you my soul. You noticed every part in me. And even after we bonded, even after we promised to share every part, to by no means conceal something from each other, you saved secrets and techniques anyway. You must have instructed me about Kenrik earlier than you tortured him. I may have reassured you I used to be going nowhere!”

“I warned you.”

“After all you warned me!” I screeched. “You’re harmful. You’re half-darkness. ‘Niawen, you may have a clear slate. You’re free to do as you would like. However I would like you. I would like you. Please, Niawen. Please.’ You enslaved me along with your phrases. You tortured me! I had nowhere left to go, and also you used that in your functions.”

“What’s mistaken with needing one another? We had been made for one another, Niawen. You and I. The identical.”

“No! We had been by no means the identical. You made me suppose we had been.” I shook my head. “Lies. All falsehoods. You possibly can’t presumably know what actual love is. Folks don’t reside for others to like them, individuals reside to offer their love away. Which is what I used to be doing!” I turned away and dropped beside Kenrik. “Depart me, Caedryn. I’m going to heal Kenrik, after which I’m taking him residence.”

“I gained’t enable that.”

“You’ll should you love me.” Seren, please reply my pleas. I’ve discovered Kenrik. You will need to assist him!

Kenrik reached up, and I turned my face into his caress. “You’d include me? You’ll stick with me?”

“I can’t. I’m certain to Caedryn.”

Sure, you might be certain to me, my love, Caedryn mentioned.

Let me take him away. I’ll return to you.

“You possibly can’t stick with him,” Kenrik mentioned. “He’ll harm you. He’ll flip his rage on you at some point. And in your youngster.”

I’d by no means harm you or our youngster, Caedryn mentioned. I’ve needed you for thus lengthy. Niawen, consider me. You realize me. You knew who I used to be and whom you had been binding your self to. You swore you’d assist me by way of my nightmares. Our love is unconditional.

“Take a look at me, Niawen. I can’t transfer my legs! He did this!” Kenrik exclaimed.

I cried out as Kenrik’s feelings ripped into the muscular tissues in my chest.
