Chapter 11

Selena

I looked up at Seth. My gorgeous fae who stood in front of me, grasping my hands in his. It hurt my heart with each passing day to know he kept getting beaten, that we were apart, but the potion from Nova had eased his pain, which meant everything to me.

After Keon had found the key, it finally felt like we were making progress, that maybe we’d find this magical stone the Warden wanted. I should be shouting with excitement, yet part of me struggled to celebrate just yet when I’d been beaten down so many times that I forgot what it felt like to win for a change.

“Why do you look so upset?” Seth asked.

I shook my head instantly, my thoughts spinning. “How can I be sad when I’m around you?” I reassured him and glanced outside the door of Seth’s cell to where Keon stood guard. But our time was limited. Keon was taking a huge risk letting me visit Seth without the Warden’s consent. I stared back into Seth’s eyes, my heart beating faster, the ache of wanting him free from his punishment echoing in my mind. “We don’t have much time.”

"What's going on?"

"We found the key," I explained, smiling, and when his mouth curled into a grin, I beamed on the inside. I lived off seeing him happy, which was why I knew I'd fallen so hard for him. I cared so much for him that it physically hurt.

Seth tucked my hair behind an ear, saying, "That's fantastic. We're halfway there." I told him about the fun Keon had in tracking down the key and how incredibly well it had been concealed in a guard's chest.

"That's rather clever," he mused.

I then leaned into his touch, moving closer to him, my heartbeat drumming faster with a desperate need to drag him to his bed, where we could chat and kiss and laugh for hours. Where things felt normal, except nothing in my life was even close to normal, now was it?

"Except, we now need to find the scroll case to open with the key, and Alaric suggested you may know where we can find it. It's magical, so I guess you're the most magical of us all." I shrugged, feeling silly assuming he'd know all things relating to enchantments, but it wasn't like the rest of us knew.

His lips pinched to the side as his gaze drifted upward while he thought. All I could do was lose myself in how beautiful he was, how I winced internally at seeing the red welts across his arms and his neck from the whippings. How I knew, despite how bad they looked, he no longer felt the agony.

But behind his eyes, there was a darkness, like even he knew it was a temporary fix. Like me, he must struggle to believe that after so much, a happy ending was impossible. Except, I couldn't keep thinking that way, and I couldn't allow Seth to resign to it either.

"A dragon," he finally said, breaking me from my thoughts.
