Bride Of The Beast Chapter Ninety Nine: I'm Human
RAVEN“Stand straight, Raven,” Denis instructed, stepping back to view me with a critical eye. “When a high lord bows to you tonight, you do not tilt your head down to match him. You only incline your chin slightly. You are the prince's consort now. Act like it.”I adjusted my posture, ignoring the stiffness in my lower back. “Like this?”“Better. Now, let us try a different circumstance,” Denis said, shifting his position to play the role of an elder. He frowned, his expression turning cold and accusatory. “Consort Raven, the pack rumors say it is impossible for a human male to carry the Royal line. What do you have to say to the council?”The words hit too close to home. It was almost exactly what Eilís had spat at me just an hour ago.I took a breath, forcing my voice to remain completely steady. “The Goddess drank my blood and accepted the ritual, Lord Elder. If you have questions about Her choice, I suggest you take them up with the priests at the altar, not me.”Denis’s harsh e
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 Seventy Three: A Snake
Eilís sighed. "Look, we don't care about her. She means nothing to you and me, so drop it." "No, I want to know." "There's no need." "But—" "Drop it, Raven," he snarled. My eyes widened. "Why won't you just tell me!" "Her sister is the reason I'm split!" "So you're holding her responsible fo
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Seventy Two: Exiled
The doors of our chambers shut. The room was quiet. "Stay here," Eilís said. "Do not leave this room please, Raven. I need to properly check on my brothers." I leaned against the table. "I won't move. Go." "Promise me you will sit still," he said. "I promise, Eilís. I'll be right here." He tur
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
