So he punished Kai and tried to kill him.
“Zarid did this to you because of me.” Pain and remorse flow out of me as I rub some of the scars on Kai’s left shoulder.
Taking my hand, he places my palm over the line on his cheek. “Then I’ll love these marks. I’ll wear them like badges of honor—proof that I belong to you.”
“You should’ve never had to go through such torture. Twice.”
“I’d willingly get whipped every day if it means I can be with you.”
“Don’t say such things.” I wince when I remember seeing his flesh split open. “You might be able to survive it again, but I couldn’t stand it.”
“And you won’t have to. The past is the past. We shouldn’t dwell on it because we can’t travel back in time to change it.”
“Actually,” Ellister pipes up, “I can time travel when I ingest Glow.”
I’m a bit startled by the Gatekeeper’s announcement because I’d completely forgotten he’s still here. He’s sitting several feet away, running his hands through the grass, appreciating his beautiful surroundings while he can.
“You’re lying,” I accuse. “If time travel were possible, you wouldn’t be in the predicament you’re in now with Vaeront.”
Ellister’s lips thin with a condescending smirk, neither confirming nor denying it.
Kai gets quiet for a few seconds, and I can see him rewriting history in his head as he contemplates a different life for us.
He imagines what it would’ve been like if he’d known I was meant for him. What could’ve happened if he’d busted into the palace, found me, and whisked me away. Erasing his servitude with Kirian, he replaces it with us together. Serenity in the countryside, maybe. Children.
But just as fast, he accepts the way things are. If our lives hadn’t played out exactly as they did, Zander wouldn’t be here. Zarid might still be in power today, and he’d probably be ruining the Day Realm with his depravity.
Our unfair circumstances resulted in a lot of good.
Kai shakes his head at Ellister. “I wouldn’t want to go back.”
“I wasn’t offering.” Ellister scoffs. “Just bragging a little.”
The wind becomes disrupted as a vortex opens, whipping some of my already messy hair around, and Ellister promptly leaves.
The gentle breeze resumes, and the air is crisp, like the perfect autumn day.
It reminds me of when we arrived in the third challenge. There’s a sweet smell floating around, and we’re on the outskirts of the city. To my right, there are some backyards with goats and chickens running around. There’s a squeaky windmill next to one of the houses, and a distant chatter of people at the market.
The ruckus of civilization is so welcome, and I have to say, I’m getting some serious déjà vu.
Scooting down my body, Kai puts his face between my breasts, pushes the mounds together, and nuzzles the cleavage.
I laugh and fondle his ears.
“We got our reward, Sunny—each other.” He kisses the bulging flesh in his hands. “So, these are mine.” Moving lower, he pokes my belly button with his nose before giving it a peck through my dress. “And this is mine.” Sliding some more, he gets to the pulsing place between my thighs, and I can feel his hot breath when he claims, “And this… this is definitely mine.”
I just nod emphatically because that means every part of him is mine, too. Including every inch of his massive cock, which I want inside me right now.
I don’t even care that we’re out in the open. I give zero fucks about someone seeing us.
All I want to do is be with my fated mate as free people.
Starting at my ankle, Kai drags his fingernails on my leg while bringing my dress up.
Every place he makes contact with is even more electric than before. All his touches and kisses feel amazing.
When he exposes my inner thigh, he licks a long line to my panties.
