Chapter 4: The Seduction Hunt
The road from Drevenhollow twisted like a serpent through ravaged countryside. Trees withered. The wind whispered things he shouldn't understand. Kael pressed forward, his cloak pulled tight, hood low. He hadn't spoken to anyone in days. Not after what happened at the tavern.
The scholar's warning still echoed in his mind: "If she left her mark, then the hunt has begun."
He hadn't fully understood what it meant. But now… he was starting to.
At night, he couldn't sleep. The air around him pulsed with a warmth that had no source. Each time he closed his eyes, he was back in Velzaria's embrace—flesh on flesh, her breath in his mouth, her voice commanding him like a drug.
And he wanted more.
But it wasn't just her he craved now.
It was anyone.
The need had grown so intense he avoided villages. A simple glance from a milkmaid set his blood on fire. A brief brush from a merchant girl had him gritting his teeth to avoid throwing her against a stall.
He was losing control.
And worse—he wasn't alone anymore.
Nightfall – Campfire Among the Stones
Kael sat near a crackling fire, sweat beading his brow though the wind was cold. He'd removed his armor, wearing only a loose tunic and trousers. His sword lay close, but he knew it would do nothing against what was stalking him now.
A whisper rode the wind.
He stood quickly. "Show yourself."
No response.
But the air shifted.
The fire dimmed. Shadows moved unnaturally.
Then—
She emerged.
Not Velzaria.
Someone else.
This one was tall, slim, with dusky skin and silver hair that spilled over her shoulders like liquid light. Her eyes were gold, glowing with a soft flame. Her dress was sheer silk, and it clung to her in a way that left nothing to imagination.
She walked barefoot.
Graceful.
Predatory.
"Abyss-kissed," she purred, stopping a few feet away. "I've come for you."
Kael's hand went to his blade. "Who are you?"
She smiled, revealing faint fangs. "I am Kaithra. First of the Queen's Vessels."
He blinked. "Vessels?"
"She left a piece of herself in you," Kaithra said, circling him like a wolf around prey. "And now that piece calls to us. You are... a beacon."
He narrowed his eyes. "You mean bait."
"No," she corrected. "I mean a prize."
Kaithra stepped closer. Her scent hit him—earth, heat, lust. His body responded immediately. His cock hardened beneath his trousers. He clenched his fists.
"You're not her," he growled.
Kaithra pressed her hand to his chest. "No. But I can be."
She pushed him down hard.
Kael fell onto his back, and before he could recover, she was straddling him.
[System Notice: "Lust Pressure" reached critical threshold. Resistance decreased.]
"You want this," she said, grinding her hips over his clothed erection. "You need it."
Kael snarled. "You don't control me."
But his body said otherwise. His cock throbbed, desperate, aching to be buried inside something warm, wet, sinful. Kaithra leaned down, her lips brushing his ear.
"You can take me," she whispered. "Like you took the Queen. I won't break. I want to be broken."
His hand went to her waist.
He spun her beneath him, pinning her.
Her smile widened.
Kael growled, pulling his tunic over his head.
"You asked for it."

Kaithra gasped as Kael buried himself inside her in one smooth thrust. She was tight, slick, impossibly hot. Her nails dug into his back as he drove into her, hips slamming with raw power. There was no gentleness. Only fury, need, claiming.
She moaned in broken syllables, her legs wrapped around his waist, heels digging into him, urging him deeper, faster.
Kael kissed her roughly, tongue exploring, biting, drinking her cries of pleasure. Her scent filled his lungs, drove him wild.
He flipped her, took her from behind—one hand gripping her throat, the other tangled in her hair as he fucked her like a beast in heat.
The stars above watched in silence.
When he finished, it was not with relief—but hunger.
She lay panting beneath him, her face twisted in ecstasy.
He was still hard.
Still aching.
She turned her head and whispered, "Velzaria... will feel that."
Later That Night
Kael sat on a boulder, staring into the dying fire. Kaithra slept naked nearby, a smile on her face, thighs slick with their lust.
He didn't feel guilt.
Only confusion.

Kael exhaled.
So this was his new reality.
The throne room had been the beginning.
Now?
He was walking a road soaked in heat, shadow, and temptation.
But what waited at the end?
Redemption?
Or Velzaria's arms… once again?
