Recap of the Previous Chapter
Jemil and his beasts overcame the Vault's heart, surviving the Mistress of Shackles' most personal and seductive trials. Chains, illusions, and whispers of desire tested both their strength and their hearts, but through Intimate Resonance, they proved that their bond was unbreakable. The Mistress, impressed and intrigued, revealed herself as more than a simple adversary—a keeper of tests designed to measure the truest connections. With the Vault's trials endured, a new challenge awaited: a choice, a revelation, and a bargain that could change the course of their journey.
