2026-05-08 13:00:10The morning passed slowly through Valmere, calm in a way Elias still had not entirely grown used to.
Clouds drifted overhead in uneven layers, softening the sunlight without fully covering it, and the cool air carried the lingering scent of rain from the storm the night before. The palace grounds had already returned to life despite it. Servants moved through the halls with polished trays balanced carefully in their hands, guards rotated through shifts along the outer walls, and somewh

A Marriage Bound by Curse Chapter Nineteen
The late afternoon settled softly over Valmere, the sun slowly beginning its descent behind the distant mountains while warm streaks of gold filtered through the palace gardens. The tension from the strategy meeting still lingered quietly through the halls of the palace, though for a brief moment, Aurelia allowed herself distance from it all.Her garden sat tucked behind the eastern wing, partially hidden by pale stone archways woven with ivy and climbing roses. It was quieter here. Removed from the movement of guards, servants, and endless reports that seemed to follow her no matter where she went. The air carried the soft scent of herbs and blooming flowers while the fading warmth of the day lingered over carefully maintained soil.Unlike the decorative gardens scattered throughout Valmere, this one served purpose.Every plant here had meaning.Rows of chamomile rested near the front beds, their small white petals swaying gently in the evening breeze. Lavender bloomed nearby in shad
A Marriage Bound by Curse Chapter Eighteen
Sleep had become more irritating than useful.Fenrir had eventually returned to his room sometime after wandering far too close to the eastern wing the night before, annoyed enough with himself that even the quiet of Valmere had begun to grate on his nerves. He had laid in bed for hours afterward, staring at the dark ceiling while the same thoughts continued circling through his mind no matter how many times he tried forcing them away.Aurelia.Again.He still did not understand why she occupied so much of his attention.It made no sense.She was human. Stubborn, frustrating, far too opinionated for someone with no physical strength to back it, and somehow entirely unwilling to fear him despite every reason to.Yet somehow, she remained there.In his thoughts.In his irritation.Lingering in the back of his mind in ways he found increasingly difficult to ignore.He had tried explaining it to himself. Perhaps it was because of the curse. Their lives were tied together whether he liked

A Marriage Bound by Curse Chapter Seventeen
The west wing gradually quieted after Valeria disappeared into her room.Not immediately.The tension she left behind lingered heavily enough that even Elias finally lost interest in provoking Fenrir further. Rowan returned to his book eventually, though he turned the same page three separate times without actually reading it, while Fenrir remained near the window longer than necessary, staring out across the darkened palace grounds below.The conversation had ended.But none of them had truly moved past it.Eventually, Rowan excused himself first, offering little more than a tired nod before leaving. Elias followed not long after, stretching lazily as he made his way down the corridor toward his own chambers.“You enjoy causing problems far too much,” Rowan muttered as they walked.Elias smirked faintly. “Only when people make it easy.”“That isn’t the reassuring answer you think it is.”“I wasn’t trying to reassure you.”Rowan sighed quietly under his breath.Behind them, Fenrir sti
A Marriage Bound by Curse Chapter Sixteen
The sun had nearly disappeared behind the mountains surrounding Valmere by the time Elias finally returned to the palace.The cloudy sky had dimmed the city earlier than usual, leaving the halls washed in warm lantern light by the time he crossed back into the west wing. Servants moved more quietly during the evenings here. Even the palace itself seemed to settle once night approached, conversations softening behind closed doors while guards rotated through shifts with practiced silence.Elias walked through it all at an unhurried pace.Mostly because he already knew Fenrir was waiting.Not literally standing around waiting, of course. Fenrir would rather die than admit to anticipating someone’s return. But Elias knew him well enough to recognize the signs. The moment Fenrir realized Elias had been gone most of the day gathering information, he would want answers immediately.Which made delaying it slightly far more entertaining.Sure enough, the moment Elias stepped into the west win

The morning passed slowly through Valmere, calm in a way Elias still had not entirely grown used to.Clouds drifted overhead in uneven layers, softening the sunlight without fully covering it, and the cool air carried the lingering scent of rain from the storm the night before. The palace grounds had already returned to life despite it. Servants moved through the halls with polished trays balanced carefully in their hands, guards rotated through shifts along the outer walls, and somewhere deeper within the palace kitchens, the smell of fresh bread and tea spread through the corridors.It all felt too orderly.Too quiet.The Iron Citadel never stayed this peaceful for long.Elias wandered the halls without much direction, hands loosely folded behind his back as he passed through one corridor after another. He had no intention of spending the day listening to Fenrir brood in silence, or Rowan overanalyze every detail of Valmere’s customs. If Fe
