Chapter 128 EMERIEL Emeriel lay on the creaky wooden table , feeling a chill seep into her back and stomach , her intimate areas tingling uncomfortably from the invasive checks .
Orin regarded her with an inscrutable expression .
You may re enter , My Lord , the healer called out , her voice echoing slightly in the quaint , though well kept , room .
Lord Herod entered , the door groaning on its hinges .
His presence filled the small but homely space .
She has erratic heats .
Orin said , confirming Emeriels deepest fears .
We cannot pinpoint the exact day it will come , but it is imminent .
We are speaking a matter of days Days ? Emeriels voice rose an octave , horrified The healer nodded gravely .
Not only are your heats erratic , but they also display unusual patterns , indicating irregularity .
The four mini heats confirmed this .
Typically , heats stabilize after successfully bonding with a male .
However , until you are bonded , your body will keep lashing out , desperately seeking a union with your male in the only manner it knows .
Emeriel swallowed , her gaze fixed on the worn wooden planks beneath her .
The good news is , Orin continued , your male is here with you , correct ? Hence , the preparation need not be extensive for he is always by your side .
Lord Herod stepped forward , his expression pained .
I must be honest , Orin .
I am not her male .
In fact , her true mate is unavailable .
Oh .
That complicates matters .
A frown marred Orins brow .
With such an intense build up , I doubt another male could satisfy her needs .
As a Syren , her body is attuned to a specific soul , either her Soulbond or a compatible soul who could be her bondmate .
Should he be unavailable , her body may reject a substitute on that day .
Her heat will not be merciful .
All the blood has drained from Emeriels face .
Orin pressed on , her voice urgent and filled with concern .
This situation is delicate .
Most Syrens require time to identify their mate .
Should there be any male she genuinely cares for , he must be present during her heat .
Otherwise , it could be disastrous .
They discuss her as if she were not there .
Emeriel wet her parched lips .
Car … can the arrival of full heat be delayed ? Some believe avoiding all sort of contact with your male might delay the onset , Orin explained .
No sight , no touch , not communication .
Your body and soul may interpret his absence as unavailability and delay its course .
It explains why many females enter their heat cycle upon first contact or proximity to their males .
Their bodies were already primed for the heat , merely holding back .
Awaiting a trigger .
Emeriels heart sank .
She had gone into heat the very day she arrived at Ravenshadow , her soul recognizing her Beloveds presence .
Every stolen moment with the king had fueled the flames , further cementing their connection Convincing her body that he was available .
Just last night , you had sex with him , and now , your full heat is upon you.
So , if I keep my d distance , cease all interaction , Emeriels voice trembled , could I delay it ? Why would you want to Orin looked puzzled .
It is already close at hand .
Too close .
Avoiding all contact might buy you a few days , but there is no guarantee .
Leaving the healers home , a troubled silence settled between Emeriel and Lord Herod .
Would you cease all contact with him ? 173 11:24 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 128 Yes , L… I have to .
Emeriel could not imagine the thought of not seeing or touching her male .
Yet , her impending full heat terrified her .
As they rejoined the crowds , the vibrant energy of the festival fel muted .
They reached another square , this one was filled with the Urekai elite .
Lords , high lords , ladies , and mistresses mingled under the soft glow of lanterns , their laughter and conversations laced with the air of privilege .
Wealth , and power .
Lord Herods peers called out to him , beckoning him over .
I must attend to them , he said to Emeriel .
Please wait here for a moment .
Emeriel gladly obliged , grateful for the solitude .
She retreated to shadowed corner by the edge of the square , watching Lord Herod mingle with the nobles , their curious gazes darting towards her .
Her heat was near , just matter of days away .
Emeriels heart leaped at the thought .
Enjoy the festivities for tonight , she told herself .
Do not think about it .
Galilea .
She froze .
No.

By the heavens , please no .
Whoever is up there , do not temng me this way .
Shivers ran down her spine at the familiar presence behind her King Daemonikai stood close , and Emeriel only had to turn behold him once more .
Butterflies took flight in her belly, and her heart raced .
Galilea , is it not ? His deep voice , like velvet and steel , caressed er like a lovers arms .
Thump .
Thump .
Thump .
The sound of her own heart pounding was loud to her own ears.
Your Grace , she whispered .
GRAND LORD ZAIPER Grand Lord Zaiper lounged in bed , his body languid from satisfaction , an arm draped carelessly over his eyes .
Should I dispose of her body , My Lord? Razarrs voice cut through the silence .
Or would you have need of it later ? Zaiper gave a go ahead wave of his hand .
No , he did not have the urge to use that body again .
It had been what twenty years ? Fifty ? since he last felt that appetite .
Time was meaningless when one lived as long as he did , with no intention of dying anytime soon .
Yet , these past two months had felt like forever to him .
Zaiper wished he could claim he had recovered from the shock of Daemonikais resurrection , from the anguish of that night .
But the truth was a bitter pill .
That nights event still distressed him .
A lot .
A festering wound that refused to heal .
A mere glimpse of Daemonikai stirred a cocktail of pain and anger within him .
A rage that threatened to boil over .
But he held it in .
Kept it bottled up inside like a boiling cauldron beneath a carefully constructed facade After all , he hadnt been lying when he vowed not to die anytime soon .
11:24 Mon , Dec 30 2 Chapter 128 Life was too sweet , too precious to waste on a useless attempt to challenge a being as powerful as Daemonikai .
