Chapter

Eighteen

Another week came and went while we prepared to send our armies to Alryne, the teeming slave camp near the borders of Gambriel and Jindera. This raid would take a lot more soldiers and a helluva lot more strategizing. Luckily, the Rebellion had a few High Fae that were once guards there; and they knew the exact layout of the slave camp—and the best way to infiltrate it. The wards surrounding Alryne were some of the strongest in magical existence. We wouldn’t be able to break the wards by force, unless we wanted to sacrifice hundreds of people, and that was not going to happen.

We needed the numbers and we needed our people alive and fighting with hope in their hearts for a better world—for a free world.

The slave camp was situated right on the Southern Coast of the Circadian seas and there were still wards in place at the beachfront. But, according to Emrys, it was pretty damn hard to keep a ward in position where the water constantly moved back and forth with the tide. It created the perfect opening for our troops to storm Alryne through the beach and hopefully free the thousands of innocents inside that horrid place before King Seraphim got his hands on them.

The Shadow of Death had been there countless times over his long lifespan, whether it was to scout for the High King, or because he was just a nosy Faerie Fuck. To think that someone raised from the darkness, with only hate in his heart, was now the leader of the Rebellion. Fighting against the very male who turned him into the monster he was today, no less.

He said his reasoning was selfish, but reason be damned because either way we would free this nation, and hopefully Atrium as well. Those past actions didn’t define him or limit him to just being wholly evil or good. There was a balance, and he was right in the center of that scale. It wasn’t hard for me to stay so angry at him for lying to me when we first met, but how was I supposed to stay bitter when he thought of himself as unlovable?

After he had told me everything, he gave me a soft chuckle as he said, “It’s okay, little dove. I wouldn’t choose me either.”

And that had broken my heart more than I thought was possible. He really thought that I would never choose him. That was why he still didn’t continuously push me into this Bond. Sure, he made his shitty jokes about it, but I honestly thought he would die if he held those in. I wanted to be happy, I wanted to show him that I would choose him, but somewhere deep in my soul, I didn’t think I deserved to be happy.

But he did. Even though I had hated him with every ounce of my being and used to think that he was a monster, a beast that didn’t deserve my love. But now it was the opposite.
