The Revered and the Pariah

Book 2 of Fae of Alastríona

Jisoo didn't known why Liam hadn't killed him already. He didn't know why the male wasn't moving from beside Jennie. Didn't know, because Jisoo still hadn't looked away from his mate.

He couldn't. He was frozen, trapped in a capsule of his own perfect hell.

She had been afraid before, but this-this was different. A bottomless cavern and ingrained in a way he'd never be able to fix.

Jisoo had just attacked his mate. She was the one person who might have stood by his side until the end of time. The only one who'd ever helped him. Healed him. Made him feel worthy.

Now. Now there was nothing.

Jennie looked at him, for the first time, as if he really was a monster.

And he was. Gods he was the worst creature to ever walk the land. He was an abomination that should have been eradicated long ago. He was foul and horrid and-

"Run."

The word was hardly a whisper. He thought he'd
misheard her.

"Jennie . . ." His voice was frail. Weak as if he hadn't used it in months. His heart was heavy. His stomach tight.

Guards were already pounding against the glass, their blurry figures full of rage.

He locked eyes with Jennie again and somehow, through the pain, she'd steeled herself. "I command you to run."

Jisoo didn't know how he did it. He wasn't sure where the strength in his legs came from or how his lungs had figured out how to draw in air again, but as if in slow motion, he rose from the floor, took one last look at his mate's beautiful, tormented face, and ran as fast as his body could carry him.
