Chapter 313

Grand Lord Vladya knew what to expect.

As he raced through the endless stretch of woods without pause, pushing beyond his limits through the day and into the night, he knew what was happening…after all, the Oracle had told him.

And yet nothing could have truly prepared him for this sight of Aekeira. Bent over, shaking, her body wracked with the pains of heat. Her scent was thick in the air, so potent it made his head spin.

Seeing her like this–seeing himself in a rut–drove reality home.

Ackeira was in heat.

A Syren.

And he–Vladya, the male who had spent centuries drowning in loneliness, despair, and misery–had a Soulbond.

All those endless nights of unanswered questions, making peace with the idea that he would live and die alone, slipping into madness with no one to tether him…his fated mate was beside him all along.

A female born for him.

Destined for him.

Created to be his.

His woman. His mate.

Aekeira.

Frozen in place, too caught between shock and realization, Vladya only stared as Daemonikai hurried past him.

“Emeriel…,” he murmured.

The girl, wrapped around her sister, face buried against Aekeira’s forehead, heard his voice and lifted her head.

Her tear–streaked, swollen eyes staring blindly in his direction. “D–Daemon?”

“It is me, dearling.” Hunching, he gently untangled her from Aekeira and lifted her into his arms.

She instantly latched onto him, legs wrapping around his waist, fingers twisting into his hair.

“I’m so sorry you had to go through that alone.” Daemonikai’s voice was filled with deep sorrow.

“You promised…” Emeriel let out a broken sob.

Guilt carved into Daemonikai’s features. “I know I did.”
