Chapter 14 Summary:
The boundary between realms fades as Joshua and Lisette step into the human world, veiled by a powerful concealment spell. To any passerby, they appear as nothing more than an ordinary, albeit striking, couple. While Lisette’s heart races with the anticipation of reuniting with Adora, Joshua has a different agenda. He intentionally chooses the longest paths and lingers at every scenic view, using his magic to stretch the journey as much as possible. For the first time, away from the cold stone of the werewolf palace, Joshua seeks to create genuine memories, stolen moments of normalcy where he can be near her without the shadow of a King and a captive.
As they walk through the vibrant landscapes of the human realm, the tension between them begins to shift. Joshua’s careful attentiveness and his quiet, protective presence start to break down the walls Lisette has built. Every shared glance and every slow step taken together serves a purpose: Joshua is desperately trying to show her a version of himself that she doesn't need to fear. It is a bittersweet journey where every second gained is a memory cherished by a King who knows that once they reach their destination, reality will come crashing back.
