Chapter 53

EMERIEL

Emeriel awoke in Aekeira's chambers, his sister hovering over him.

"She's awake, Amie!" Aekeira's voice echoed throughout the room. "Please go and fetch Madam Livia."

The ruffle of movements followed.

Emeriel's head throbbed with a headache, and his mouth tasted bitter from the herbs likely forced down his throat.

He attempted to sit up but winced as his body protested. "What happened?" he groaned.

"You had another mini-heat yesterday and somehow ventured to the forbidden chambers on your own," Aekeira's voice trembled with a mix of dread and disbelief. "When Amie told me, I could hardly believe it. By the gods, Em! Going into the forbidden chambers willingly and alone!?"

Memories flooded back to Emeriel. Aekeira was right-what had possessed him?

"I don't know, Keira," he admitted.

"But... but... I simply don't understand." Aekeira started to pace, visibly agitated. "There are plenty of Urekai males around. The guards would have gladly locked you up in a room and tended to your needs until the heat subsided. You could have easily gone to any of them. So why did you choose that beast? Why?"

"I really don't know. My body made the decision for me," Emerie confessed, resigned.

Aekeira stopped abruptly. "What?"

Emeriel exhaled loudly. It was one thing to acknowledge the truth within himself, and another to voice it aloud.

He hesitated.
