Chapter 18 - Elias Stands Up From His Wheelchair In Shocking Fashion
Maeve’s jaw dropped in sheer disbelief as Elias pushed himself up from the armrests of his wheelchair.
He stood tall, powerful, and completely steady on his feet, towering over her in the dim lamplight.
“Elias... your legs... you can walk?” Maeve whispered, her voice shaking as the three-month lie finally unraveled.
Elias stepped closer, his dark eyes filled with a terrifying, intense emotion that made her breath catch.
“I could walk all along, Maeve,” Elias said softly, reaching out to brush a stray lock of hair from her forehead.
“It was a test to see who loved the man, and who only loved the throne.”

“You knew who I was all along?” Maeve asked, tears finally spilling over her eyelashes.
“I knew you were a brave, selfless girl who traded her own freedom to save her brother,” Elias answered, pulling her into his arms.
