Then, finally turned to lace Thorne, my mind drifting far from the present moment.

“What do you think last night was?” I asked, my voice surprisingly steady

His jaw bwitched, and the muscle under his right eye lightened. His gaze, once fed with warmth, began to harden

I could feel it his anger starting to bubble up

With a quick, almost defensive motion, he shot the question back at me. “What do you think last night was then

“S“x,” I said, blunt and simple

“And that’s Nothing else?”

“No,” Iahswered, shrugging lightly. “Maybe a little worry, sure. But I was told mating was part of the healing proce

I didn’t finish the sentence before his iron grip tightened on my chin, pulling my face up to meet his furious gare.

“You were having s*x with me out of pity?” His voice was a low growl, eyes like a storm about to break loose

I didn’t flinch. I met his gaze coolly

Your wall needed me. And you seemed to enjoy it. Why can’t we just leave it at that?”

His eyes darkened further, and I could feel the raw frustration rolling off him

“Because I want more!” he roared, his voice rough with anger.

“I want you to come back. I want to claim you as mine, the right way! Elara, last night… we were great. I know you feel it too. So wity can’t you come back

A sigh escaped me, barely audible.

“I told you. It was just s“. I won’t deny that it was… enjoyable. But it doesn’t change anything. I can have that with someone else,” I said, holding his gaze as I spoke, letting the truth of it sink in.

His hand shot out to clamp down on my jaw, his grip brutal.

“Don’t,” he hissed, voice a dangerous whisper.

1 jerked my head back, breaking free from his grasp.

“You get the drill,” I muttered, a cold smile tugging at my lips as I stepped back

Thorne stood frozen, his chest still bleeding through the bandage. His hair was a mess, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a beast, defeated,

“I don’t get it,” he said hoarsely, his voice cracking as he spoke. “You feel something for me. So why push me away? Why le cold

d again? Is it another man?”

I shook my head, fighting the bitterness that threatened to tise. This has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“Then-”

He stood there, a mix of confusion, anger, and pain sattling in his eyes. He looked like he couldn’t breathe under the weight of it.

Finally, he spoke again, his voice cough. “But you’re fine with us having sa

I bit my lip, holding back the wave of emotions that crashed over me

I nodded, barely a movement.

His lingers brushed against my hair gently, as if testing the waters. His thumb traced the cure of my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

“Like we’re just “x partners, then?” His voice was low, uncertain,

I didn’t know what he wanted from me just nodded, reluctant “If that’s how you want to call it

“Fine,” He spun away, his back now to me, as if the conversation had ended.

“Leave my tent, Gamma Elara,” he said flatly, his tone as cold as the distance he was putting between us. “We’ve got things to do today.”

His words stung more than I cared to admit

I glanced down at his bloodied bandage. “At least let me change the bandage for you…”

He grabbed his shirt and yanked it over his head. “Get the doctor. You can leave now.”

He was barely looking at me as he dressed, his voice laced with mockery. “What, you looking for a second round?”

I didn’t answer, turning on my heel and walking out of the tent.

I wandered through the ruined streets of Cragen Fortress, my fest dragging, my mind still stuck on the fight that felt far from over. The battle had left the place in tatters–broken walls, scattered weapons, and the lingering scent of ash in the air. Yet, the soldiers worked relentlessly, helping to restore some normalcy to the wreckage. Temporary shelters dotted the streets, with vendors selling what they could to get by.

I should have been looking for Vessa and the other Gammas, preparing for what came next. But my mind kept circling back to Thorne. His face, the way he’d looked at me–his desperation, his hurt. It played in my head over and over again.

I should’ve been stronger. I know I had made the right choice, but it didn’t make the pain any less.

“Gamma Elara!”

Ispun around, startled.

A familiar face ran toward me–Lance Alder, the smith I’d saved from the rogue.

“Gamma Elara, how are you?” His handshake was firm, his smile warm, but it felt distant to me.

“Good,” I said, forcing a smile, though my mind was miles away. “How’s your wife and child! Got a place to stay?”

“They’re doing well. Soldiers set us up in a tent on the ruins. I’m volunteering to help rebuild.”

“Glad to hear it,” I said, but the exhaustion in my voice couldn’t be masked.

There was a brief silence before Lance’s expression grew serious.

“I want to join your army,” he said, his eyes full of determination. “I hate the rogues, and I have skills that could help. buld weapons. I’m good with

mechanisms.”“”
