The King’s footsteps faded into the stone corridors, leaving a heavy, curdled silence behind. One by one, the Council members retreated. Their robes hissed against the floor like snakes in the grass as they hurried away.

I stood there, chest tight, waiting for Eilis to look at me.

He didn’t.

He stayed on the floor, hands buried in the matted fur of Osric and Elian. He whispered to them in a guttural sound that wasn't quite human.

I took a step forward, reaching out, but he didn't notice. He wa

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Ninety Eight: You'll Regret It

    EILÍS“You regret it now, don't you?” Camden smirked at me, pulling on his hiking boots.I rolled my eyes. “Enjoy it while it lasts.”“But for real though, you should give him the benefit of the doubt. He did it for both of you.”“Drop it,” I hissed, turning away from him and picking up my arrow.But of course, Camden continued. “But you agree he's right. It's not like you had something planned. There was literally nothing you could have done to stop it. You're just annoyed that he listened to your father.”I slammed the arrow back down in anger. “Drop it, Camden!”“I just want you to see reason. He didn't purposely hide it from you. You're the one blocking the bond! You're enduring it!”“Enough! He's human! He shouldn't feel like I'm controlling him! I don't want him to feel overwhelmed because he feels what I'm feeling!”“But you're feeling what he's feeling!” Camden shouted back. “You're taking away his aches, his emotions, you're taking it all into yourself! You bottle it all up f

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Ninety Seven: You Coward!

    RAVEN“Eilís, answer me!”He ignored me. His gaze remained fixed on the window.“You let him take control!” When he still ignored me, I took a step forward and hit his back in anger. He didn't even flinch. “Stop ignoring me!”He finally turned to look at me. “Apparently it's one thing we agree on.” His eyes flickered down to my stomach.I gasped. “Eilís.”“You got what you wanted, didn't you? My consort?”“Why are you acting like I purposely wanted to get pregnant so I could become the ‘consort’? It was the only way to avoid punishment for treason! It's not like you had any other way!”“You should have waited. You should have asked me. You should have consulted me before you did it!” he threw back.I threw up my hands. “We've argued over this before! You know I had to do it. There was no other solution!”“You should have told me! And not decided on your own! You should have trusted me!”“I do trust you,” I said, my voice dropping softly when I saw how deeply I’d really hurt him. “And

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Ninety Six

    RAVEN My gaze was locked on Eilís. Why was he frowning? Why wasn't he happy? I was finally accepted. Shouldn't he be happy? “Go forth and celebrate, and tonight we shall hunt!” the King said. The howls seemed to get higher before everybody slowly dispersed, until I was left with the King sitting and grinning from ear to ear. Eilís slowly stood up, the frown not moving from his face. I took his arm before he could walk past me. “What's wrong?” When he raised his eyes to meet mine, I was shocked at the anger I saw there. “We need to talk,” he said, pulling away and walking out. I stared at his back, my heart suddenly in my throat. I didn't remember doing anything wrong. Did I do something to annoy him? “Raven,” the King called before I could go after Eilís. “Yes, sire?” I turned and bowed as I walked toward him. He gave me a smile, his gold eyes bright and glowing. “You don't need to do that anymore.” He chuckled, raising a hand to rest on my shoulder. “I will send Denis to ass

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Ninety Five: Crown Prince's Consort

    RAVENThe King stepped down from his throne, his presence dominating the dais. I stood completely still by the middle pillar, the heavy fabric of my robe suddenly feeling like lead against my skin. He wasn't smiling anymore, but the dark satisfaction on his face was undeniable."Today, we honor the preservation of the royal lineage," the King began, his booming voice cutting through the silence of the hall. "The Goddess has seen fit to bless this house, and the pack will witness the official binding of the heir."I glanced at Eilís again, but he hadn't moved an inch. His posture was rigid, his hands clasped tightly in front of him.m. Why was he so still?"His Grace," the King continued, gesturing toward me with a wide hand, "has fulfilled his initial duty to the crown. Therefore, he will take his rightful place among us."He turned slightly toward the side of the dais, where two priests dressed in grey robes stood waiting. Between them, they carried a large silver tray. The flickerin

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Ninety Four: Raven Dierna

    RAVENThe maids dressed me in an elaborate silk robe inspired by the court's traditional designs. It was a soft, pale pink fabric draped heavily off my shoulders, exposing my collarbones and the upper part of my back.I scoffed mentally. Show off the marks, why don't we? Not like they don't already see the claiming mark, but now we had to show them the love bites too.But I had to admit, the silk was beautiful. The wide collar and sleeves were framed by a thick, ornate border of gold and light blue silk, heavily embroidered with dark floral patterns and twisting vines. To finish it, they fastened long, dangling silver earrings to my ears that brushed against my neck with every movement."You look very beautiful, Your Grace," one of the younger maids whispered, smoothing down my hair, which now cascaded much longer past my shoulders. "The colors suit you.”I couldn't even bring myself to look in the mirror."We must proceed," their leader announced, adjusting the fur-lined cape over my

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Ninety Three: Smell like Amber

    RAVEN The morning sun broke through the curtains, hitting my eyes and forcing me awake. I instantly bolted upright, my heart pounding as my gaze swept the room, looking for any sign that the Wolf was still present in the room. He was nowhere to be seen. The room was empty, quiet, and completely still. I let out a shaky breath, moving to slide my legs out from under the furs, but the moment I shifted my weight, a sharp ache flared up from my lower half. A choked groan caught in my throat, and I immediately collapsed back onto the pillows, gripping the mattress. “Damn monster,” I cursed bitterly under my breath. Every single muscle in my body felt bruised, and my joints throbbed with heat. I gritted my teeth, carefully trying to maneuver myself out of the bed a second time, moving an inch at a time to avoid triggering the pain in my ass. A knock on the door made me freeze in panic. My hand flew to the sheet, ready to pull it up to my chin. But then my brain kicked in. The Wolf

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Seventy One: I'm Getting Pregnant

    RAVEN The King didn't get a chance to answer. The heavy double doors of his private chambers burst open with a loud bang. A breathless palace guard stood in the doorway, his face completely pale. "Your Majesty! Prince Eilis!" the guard gasped, gripping the doorframe. "It's Prince Osric! He has

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Seventy: Fake pregnancy

    RAVENWe spent the night clinging to each other in the dark. There were no words left to say. We just lay tangled together under the blankets, Eilis’s arms locked securely around my waist, his face buried in my neck. Eventually, exhaustion won, and we fell into a heavy sleep.When morning came, the

    RAVEN The King didn't answer immediately. He looked from Arden to Eilis, then down at me. "A test of the bloodline," the King murmured. He leaned forward, his expression heavy. "Two full moons. If this is true, they will sustain the lineage. If not, the law takes its course. The High Council will

    RAVEN The chamber was silent. Lord Arden unrolled a separate ledger, looking down at us. "The Council proposes a three-fold punishment, Your Majesty," Arden declared, his voice echoing across the hall. "First, the treaty with Dierna is nullified. Second, the conspirators—the father and siblings—
