Accidentally His Chapter 78
AriaI set the cup down so carefully that not a drop spilled."Leave it," I said to the maid. "I will drink it after I bathe."She curtsied and left, and the moment the door closed, I picked the cup up again and carried it to the window, where the last of the daylight was pouring through.I held it up and looked.The tea was a clear, pale gold. There was nothing in it. Not a leaf of anything foreign, not a grain of sediment, nothing that could be seen with the eye.But my body was screaming at me.I remembered Elora's voice in the training pavilion. Your magic is a part of your soul. I closed my eyes, and for the first time since I had left the sanctuary, I let go of the walls I had built and reached for that silver thread.It came instantly. It rushed up through my chest and into my palms, and the cup in my hands went hot.When I opened my eyes, the tea was gone.The liquid had evaporated in a thin curl of gold vapor, and at the bottom of the cup, there was a faint ring of grey resid

AriaWe rode out of the sanctuary before dawn, and this time there was no softness left in the King.Valerius did not speak for the first three hours. He rode ahead with Kaelen and Cassian, his shoulders rigid, his hand never far from the hilt of his sword. Every so often he would glance back at my carriage, checking. Counting me. Making sure I was still there.I spent the ride with my hand pressed flat against my stomach, feeling the small, stubborn flutter of life inside me, and thinking about the empty coffin in the royal catacombs.The Obsidian Palace rose out of the mist two days later like something dragged up from the bottom of the sea.I had seen it once before — from the inside of a guarded carriage, half-blind with fear, on the day Valerius had taken me from Silvermoon. Back then it had been a blur of black stone and gold.Now I understood what it truly was.Towers of polished obsidian climbed into the grey sky, veined with rivers of gold that glittered coldly in the weak su

AriaI sat up so fast my head spun."What?"Valerius didn't move. He stayed on his back on the moss, one arm behind his head, staring up at the stars like a man reading his own death sentence in them."Elizabeth is alive," he repeated. "She has been alive for twenty-two years."I stared down at him, my heart hammering. "You told the entire realm she was dead. You mourned her publicly. There is a tomb in the royal catacombs with her name carved into it.""There is." His voice was flat. "I had it built myself. I stood beside it while the whole court wept, and I did not shed a single tear, because I knew the coffin was empty.""Why?" I demanded. My voice came out sharper than I intended. "Why would you do that? Why would you let the world think your mate died, when she was out there somewhere, breathing?"He was quiet for a long moment."Because I needed her to stay gone," he said at last.A cold dread crawled down my spine. "What did she do, Valerius?"He sat up then, slowly, and pushed

AriaHe didn't tell me where we were going.Valerius led me out of the sanctuary's great hall and into the cold mountain night, his hand wrapped tightly around mine as if he was afraid I might vanish between his fingers. The stars above us were impossibly bright, scattered like spilled silver across a black velvet sky."Where are you taking me?" I asked, breathless from the climb."You'll see," he said again, that maddening smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.We climbed a narrow stairway carved into the cliffside, one that I had never noticed in all my days of training. It twisted upward, past ancient stone lanterns that burned with a soft, blue-white flame. The wind whipped my hair across my face, but Valerius kept me close, his body a wall of heat against the chill.After what felt like forever, we stepped through a low archway — and my breath caught in my throat.We were standing in a hidden garden.It was a perfect circle of earth carved into the mountain itself, open to the

AriaThe final two days at the sanctuary passed like a whirlwind.Despite the heavy security and the distant, haunting echoes of Leia weeping from the lower cells, which Valerius firmly reminded me to ignore for my own safety, my training with Oracle Elora reached heights I had never imagined possible.On our second-to-last day, we stood once again in the high pavilion. The air felt different now. I was no longer fighting my power; I was letting it flow like a river."You have grown remarkably fast, Aria," Elora said, her voice filled with genuine pride as she watched me effortlessly summon bright spheres of silver light that danced around my fingertips. "Your mind is clear, and your heart is anchored. It is time to grant you tools to help channel your expanding gifts."Elora gestured toward a long wooden table near the back of the room. On top of it lay several exquisite objects: a glowing crystal orb, a carved ivory wand, and a golden medallion etched with ancient runes."Close your

AriaNight fell over the sanctuary, heavy and dark. The storm outside raged on, rain hammering against the high stained-glass windows.I sat on the edge of the large wooden bed in our private quarters, wrapping a thick blanket around my shoulders. I couldn't sleep. Every time the wind howled outside, I thought I could hear Leia's faint wailing from the underground dungeons.Suddenly, the door creaked open.Valerius stepped into the room. He was bare-chested, wearing only loose dark trousers. My breath caught in my throat. Across his broad, muscular torso, several heavy, jagged cuts were raw and inflamed. Blood was still slowly seeping from a deep gash near his ribs."Valerius!" I gasped, tossing the blanket aside and rushing to his side. "You're hurt! Why didn't you go to the healers?!""The healers were busy tending to the sanctuary guards who were wounded in the raid," Valerius said gruffly, trying to offer a faint, reassuring smile. "It is just a scratch, Aria. Lycans heal quickly.
