I managed to finish my small piece of meat, trying my best to swallow it quickly and ignore the ongoing, wide-eyed stares from the kitchen staff.

Once I was done, I sheepishly wiped my fingers on a clean cloth a hurried servant offered me, gave everyone another apologetic nod, and made a swift exit.

The two guards fell into step right behind me as I headed back up the stairs. My stomach was finally quiet, but as the wonderful warmth of the food settled, the reality of my situation rushed right

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 120: Just A Reason

    EilisTwo weeks.Two intolerable weeks, and the trail was still cold.Every morning I woke up with my wolf clawing at the inside of my ribs, furious, restless, and starving for blood. A traitor had walked into my palace, unlocked the silver anti-magic chains, and spirited away a high-value prisoner under the noses of my entire guard rotation. And despite locking down every gate, searching every cellar, and interrogating half the palace staff, we had found nothing.No scent. No tracks. No slip-ups.It was as if the witch had vanished into the air, leaving me with a palace full of anxious servants and useless guards.My anger hadn't dulled over the fortnight, it had only sharpened. The only thing keeping my rage from burning the castle to the ground was Raven. He was still pale, quiet, and delicate, spending most of his days resting in our quarters. The healer had insisted on absolute quiet for him, so I forced my anger down every time I stepped through our bedchamber doors. I held h

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 119: Escaped

    RavenThe darkness pulled at me, warm and heavy from the healer’s potion, but I couldn't stay under. The knot of fear in my stomach was too tight, dragging me back toward consciousness piece by piece.My eyelids felt weighted, but I managed to open them just enough to take in the dim firelight flickering across the bedchamber. Eilis was still right beside me. He hadn't shifted an inch. Every beat of my heart felt like a betrayal. Every quiet breath I drew under his watchful eye tasted like salt and ash.A soft knock rattled the outer chamber door.Eilis’s head snapped up instantly, his jaw tightening, his wolf scent flaring with sharp alertness. "Enter," he commanded, keeping his voice low so as not to startle me.The door creaked open, and Denis stepped into the room. He carried a silver tray with a fresh pitcher of water and a clean washcloth, his head bowed deferentially. He looked every bit the quiet, dutiful servant, his steps light and measured as he crossed the plush carpet.

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 119: The guilt

    RAVENThe doors burst open, and the royal healer rushed into the chamber, his leather satchel slung over his shoulder and two young assistants trailing frantically behind him."My Prince! Step back, please let me examine him," the healer urged, his voice tight with urgency as he set his kit down on the bedside table.Eilis didn't move away. He stayed on his knees, his massive frame sheltering me, his hand locked tightly around mine. His thumb stroked my knuckles over and over, his pulse hammering so hard against his skin that I could feel it radiating into my palms. Wolves could smell deceit. A direct lie would make my pulse spike in a way Eilis would catch in a second. I couldn't speak a single false word to him."What happened?" the healer asked rapidly, pressing his cool fingers against the side of my neck to feel my pulse, then gently resting his palms against my bare, rounded stomach. “Attendant, speak clearly. What were his symptoms?"Eilis turned his head, his dark, sharp eyes

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 117: The Act

    EILISThe wind at the high execution arena was bitter and sharp, whipping my cloak around my boots as I stood on the raised wooden dais. Below me, the stone courtyard was already filling up with pack elders, high-ranking officers, and warriors.In the center of the arena, bound to a iron post, sat the witch. His head hung low, the silver anti-magic chains clanking softly whenever he shifted."Everything is set, my Prince," my chief executioner reported, bowing his head as he approached. "The crowd is gathered. We await your word to bring down the blade."I stared down at the witch, my jaw clenching. Every instinct in my wolf screamed for vengeance. This creature had crossed into our territory and violated our borders. Leaving him alive was a vulnerability we couldn't afford.I am doing this to protect us, I reminded myself, my hand resting briefly on the hilt of my blade. I am doing this to clean the path for our child. So they never have to fear the shadows.I stepped up to the fro

    RAVENMy feet barely made a sound as I hurried back through the passage. My hands were shaking, pressing against the cold, rough wall to keep my balance as my mind raced through everything Denis had laid out.A fake illness. A fake emergency.It was a dangerous gamble, but I didn't have a choice.The room was quiet and warm, the fire in the hearth still crackling softly, a stark contrast to the storm brewing in my chest.I quickly scrambled onto the bed, pulling the thick duvets over my legs, my breath coming in short, uneven gasps. Every shadow in the room felt like a threat.A few moments later, the chamber door opened softly. I tensed, my fingers knotting into the bedsheets, but it was just Denis, with Calani trailing behind him.Calani looked stiff, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Her expression was cold and guarded, the lingering frost from our last confrontation still hanging between us."Raven," Denis whispered, stepping closer to the bed while keeping an eye on the do

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 115: The Mistake

    The next morning, I woke to the soft sound of Eilis moving quietly around the bed. I kept my eyes closed, forcing my breathing to remain deep and steady, pretending to be fast asleep. "Sleep, Raven," Eilis muttered softly under his breath, his warm fingers brushing a strand of hair from my forehead. "It's better if you stay in your room today. You don't need to witness this." I heard the click of the chamber doors as he stepped out, heading off to prepare the execution arena. He wanted a grand, public display to send a message to the entire kingdom. The moment his footsteps faded down the hall, I threw off the covers and swung my legs out of bed. The cool air hit my skin, sending a shiver through me, but there was no time to hesitate. My heart hammered against my ribs as I slipped out of my chambers using the hidden passage behind the tapestries—breaking the promise I had made to my guards to stay put. I moved quickly through the secret corridors, my eyes scanning every grate and

    EILISThe bond burned.Not like fire though, this was a constant, pulsing pressure beneath my skin, it was a low ache that tightened every time I tried to ignore it.I braced both hands against the cold stone wall of the training chamber and bowed my head. Sweat slid down my spine, my scars pulling

Between the
