Only she could calm the storms that ripped through his nights and dragged him toward madness.
Everyone else saw only his victories.
They thought he was untouchable.
She, however, saw the shadows that clung to him and the pain he buried deep within.
Tilda kept her eyes on the floor below.
Rebecca’s screams kept tearing through the room.
At first the cries felt satisfying, but the sound stretched on too long and scraped against her nerves until her
stomach churned.
She felt Jude’s stare burning at her side.
She turned and frowned.
“What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?”
She ran her hand across her cheek just in case.
“Tilly, I love you.”
The words slammed into her so hard she nearly choked.
Jude, why did you just throw a confession like that out of nowhere?”
His cousin was literally losing her fingers right beneath them.
The timing was insane.
“I wanted to say it, so I did.” His voice dropped.
“Besides my grandma, no one ever asked me about the cruel things I went through.”
Jude lowered his eyes to hide the storm in them.
He knew this was the wrong time, but he had to let her see.
He had to let her know how much he loved her.
Tilda just looked at him.
This was the man who stood like a king before the world.
Only with her did he show his cracks.

Chapter 392 Salvation
He was like a beast that had crushed countless enemies and carried the weight of war.
But when he went back to his den, alone, he licked wounds that never healed.
Those were the wounds that cut through him every night.
Now he was laying those wounds bare for her to see.
She pressed her lips together and reached for his hand.
A shock jolted through him like a live wire.
Their Engers slowly locked together.
No matter what comes, I’m here with you.
No matter what you’ve endured, you’re still standing, and you’re right here with me.”
Her voice carried like a song, steady and gentle.
