Summary
She glanced down at her stomach, and he followed her gaze. Hesitating only for a breath, he touched the hem of her shirt.
“May I?” he asked softly. When she didn’t stop him, he lifted it just enough to see, crouching so his eyes were level with her waist. Bruising. Deep, ugly purple and red spreading along her side.
Bruises are easy to hide—until someone like Kai insists on seeing them, and insists even harder on helping.

Summary
All the people who had suffered, just so Selene could be found. Oh, how she hated Selene. Loathed her, even. It was always about Selene. About finding her, chaining her to a throne, irrespective of the damage it caused to others in the process.
Selene. Selene. Selene.
Stars knew what would happen when the world realized Selene no longer lived. That after the fire, only cinders remained.
In the ashes of revolution, Cinder is haunted by survivor’s guilt, the ghosts of the fallen, and the crushing fear that she’s not the queen her people need.

Summary
“Trying harder,” Kai says, kissing her forehead, and then the left cheek, and right cheek. He’s about to capture her lips when she swats him away, “-I’m angry, remember?”
“All I see is you being a baby,” He chuckles, and then captures her lips, and she doesn’t argue, sighing in the embrace instead, her fingers pulling at his roots, as she pulls Kai closer. And when they both break the kiss, in search of air, she hides in the crook of his neck.

Summary
Selene hums in approval. It had been 47 days since he’d last seen her, the longest in years. Kai recalls how his last visit to Lunar had ended on a sour note, something about not seeing each other enough. They’d thrown words they didn’t mean to, said things out of anger and circumstance. In the heat of the moment, Kai had left 2 days earlier than he’d intended. Nobody had apologised; they’d just overlooked the fight and gone about it.
That’s one of the reasons why Kai was so riled up about the question earlier. It had hit a sore nerve; both of them were avoiding it. Something inevitable.
