Summary
Then the Titankin throws Phainon off the cliff.
As he falls, Phainon sees it: a brilliant flash of crimson, like fire, cutting through the Titankin like a knife through butter. Then crystals; sharp and gleaming like blood, expanding from a single point in the distance and rapidly skewering the remaining Titankin.
The crimson flash turns, bright as the sun, and Phainon stares back, his cape fluttering uselessly behind him like a pair of melted wax wings.
When Phainon plunges into the sea, his gaze meets a familiar pair of hazel eyes as Mydei leaps off the cliff to follow him.
After a mission gone awry, Phainon is hurled into the sea. Mydei saves him.

Summary
He looks the same as he always does, except for the stark diminishment of his height and the innocent brightness of his eyes. Standing on his tiptoes, he coos over the trinkets his older self keeps in his quarters, his oversized tunic hanging off his frame like a dress. Mydei’s blood runs cold.
The younger Phainon turns to him and, with the voice of a boy more than a decade away from adulthood, points at a figurine: a miniature stone chariot drawn by a pair of swans. “Cyrene would love this! May I take this home?”
Mydei can’t speak.
For a moment, they merely stare at each other. Mydei narrows his eyes, attempting to gauge whether this is an illusion or some kind of Okheman prank. “How old are you?”
Phainon gives him a thousand-watt smile and holds up five fingers. “Seven!”
Phainon turns back to his seven-year-old self. Mydei takes care of him.

Summary
Mydei leans away from the dromas at the sight of him. He looks the same as he always does: scowl in place, dressed and armored in Kremnoan attire. Yet in Phainon’s preheat vision, Mydei is achingly handsome—sleek lines, sharp angles, and a ruggedness from years on the battlefield.
Phainon’s thighs grow wet.
“What took you so long?” Mydei snaps. “We’re heading to a negotiation, not a field trip. No need to bring all your outfits."
“What if I want to impress the stakeholder?” Phainon jests, adjusting his tunic to hide his lower torso. He falters, however, when he notices Mydei’s sharp hazel eyes fixed on the slick staining his front. For a moment, Phainon feels raw and exposed, shame creeping up his neck. Mydei’s breathing pauses, the pace slowing to something deeper and more indulgent, before he looks away.
“We have a long journey ahead,” Mydei murmurs. “Pace yourself.”
Phainon sets out on a mission with Mydei, determined to maintain the facade of being a beta despite his preheat. But then his full-blown heat strikes at the worst possible time.
Mydei takes care of him.

Summary
When Phainon takes on the task to retrieve a valuable antique from a brothel by posing as a serving boy, the last thing he expects is to end up here: a dim room, heavy with the scent of oil and smoke, facing three Kremnoan warriors. Scarred faces turn toward him, their sharp, predatory eyes weighing his presence.
And then he sees him.
Mydei.
Mydei reclines with calculated ease, shadows cutting across the familiar sharpness of his jaw and the quiet authority in his gaze. Phainon falters, his breath hitching as recognition sparks between them.
With everything riding on his disguise, Phainon stamps down the urge for confrontation and lowers his head. “Welcome, h-honored guests. How may I serve you?”
Phainon infiltrates a brothel disguised as a serving boy for a self-imposed mission. As luck would have it, one of his clients just had to be Mydei.
Their unplanned encounter turns out to be far more rewarding than Phainon expected.
