CHAPTER 17

Shaia had half a mind to turn on her heel, storm back through the building and give Fuery hell for pushing her away. The other half was aware of his pain though, and the fear that had been a constant inside him from the moment she had stepped into his room.

Back into his life.

She had pushed him hard enough for one day.

She hated the way he felt, and the way he thought. She hated the way he pushed her away, seemingly determined to keep his distance from her and not allow her back into his life.

She hated the way he had closed himself off, shutting down their fragile connection.

She hated it all, but she understood why he had done it, and why he was acting the way he was.

When he had been fighting with himself after her confession, she had taken the time to attempt to place herself in his boots, to decipher and understand the feelings she could sense in him through their bond. She had considered how mated males worked, and how he had behaved around her in their brief time together before he had disappeared.

It had led her to one conclusion.

He wanted to protect her.

He had always been fiercely protective of her, had loved her deeply, the sort of love no amount of time apart or together could change. It was a love that burned in her too, as fiercely today as it had the day they had met. No. It had grown stronger over the time they had spent together, and the years they had been apart, forged by the things that had happened into a stronger love, one that was unbreakable.

That same love burned in him. She knew it, had seen it in his corrupted eyes and had felt it in his heart. He loved her.

That love made him scared.

He feared hurting her when the madness seized him.

He feared the way she might look at him when he was gripped by the darkness.

He feared he would break her love for him and she would leave him.

So he had pushed her away.

It hurt.

It cut her deeper than any blade, and she was bleeding inside.

But she understood his reasons.

“Shaia.” Hartt’s deep voice coming from behind her slowed her steps as she reached the grim reception room, and she stopped and looked back at him.

Sorrow shone in his violet eyes.

She looked away from him, because she didn’t want his pity.

Her fight wasn’t over yet.

Fuery hadn’t won.

She wouldn’t give up on him.

She was going to patch up her heart, give him time to loosen the hold his darkness had over him, and then she would be back to fight for him all over again.

She pulled the hood of her cloak up over her hair and bent her head as she started walking again. She didn’t tense as she passed some males in the arched corridor, no longer afraid of them or any at the guild. Fuery pushed her away, but he would fight for her if anyone dared to touch her, and he would kill any who hurt her.
