Chapter 604: This is Not the End - Part 2
ELIA
Fear screamed in her ear and pounded its fists at her chest, but as Reth held her, his hands clawed in her hair, cupping her skull, his face twisted in desperation, she knew he was right.
She didn't know how, or why they'd been led here. But he was right.
In a flawed heart, it wasn't possible to love more than they did.
And that meant something.
Help us, she prayed. We need you. Help us.
The wind hurtled around them, lashing hair to cut her cheeks, and clothing until it tore, closing in with every breath until it seemed it would pour down her throat and rip her guts.
A predatory snarl ripped out of Reth's throat and without letting go of her, he raised his eyes—now golden with his lion—and roared at the wind, and the voices, "SHE. IS. MINE!"
Before her eyes, it was as if his skin began to glow, glittering gold.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
AimeeLynn
AimeeLynn "When can we read the rest of the chapters if we don't buy privilege?"
The TL,DR version is: No later than 1 June, but I'm trying to get it to you sooner.
The ACTUAL answer is....
I have an "After the End" catch-up I wanted to write and post in June, but the system on WN has changed and become really restrictive for completed books. Basically, if I mark the book complete at the end of this week when the event ends (So those chapters will start feeding out of privilege day by day), that one catch-up chunk of chapters is all I will be allowed to post on the book EVER.
Whereas, if I wait until June (when I have time to write it properly) I can remove all the privilege tiers (except the 1 coin tier that is only in WN's control), mass release the remaining chapters, and post the extra material WITHOUT using up that last chance to publish on it, that I had hoped to leave for a special occasion later.
None of this is in your hands, and I know that's frustrating. I'm sorry that you have to wait. I am trying to see if I can find time to write in May instead of June so I can post those chapters in May so they push the ending chapters through privilege for you. But it's not looking good, honestly. My schedule was already pushed out three days because Dark Alpha took longer to complete than I expected, and with the two new books, my commitment calendar is full.
So, please forgive me, I have been so busy in the lead up to this I actually forgot about privilege and didn't think all of this through before I published the ending, so I'm scrambling to try and figure it out now. I will keep you posted!
