{Ragna’s POV}

The crowd’s noise multiplied in response to me dislocating Selene’s jaw.

She didn’t rise immediately so they started the countdown.

“ONE.”

“TWO…”

"THREE."

It was supposed to be a relief hearing the countdown, but I wasn’t satisfied or convinced— not until Selene started convulsing a second later.

With this, I settled my rage and stared while the crowd’s voices grew wilder. They lived for brutality.

And I had definitely damaged other things in Selene's body but I didn’t give two s

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 45 ~ A Blood Mother

    {Liam’s POV}Loud voices guided me toward the western battlements long before I reached them.The Palace had abandoned every trace of its usual composure. Generals crossed courtyards at a run, shouting fresh orders before disappearing into different formations. Stable hands struggled to calm restless warhorses while servants hurried frightened citizens away from the outer walls. Everywhere I looked, discipline fought a losing battle against urgency.Beyond the gates, thousands of warriors were already assembling.Rows upon rows of armored males stretched across the Palace grounds as standards bearing the crest of the Reigns snapped violently in the afternoon wind. Generals rode along the formations issuing final instructions while captains adjusted ranks with clipped, impatient commands. Brutality flashed beneath the sun as countless claws extended and retracted in restless anticipation.The army was enormous.It should have been reassuring.Instead, the mood surrounding it bordered o

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 44 ~ My Plight

    {Liam’s POV}My Father needed the truth.Whether he accepted it… That was his business.Mine was making sure Mother remained alive.I left him standing inside the council chamber with enough revelations to dismantle a lifetime of certainty and quietly closed the door behind me. Whatever conclusions he reached from there would belong to him. I had given him every piece required to understand what stood outside these walls, why Sir Hagari had betrayed him, and why the prophecy everyone believed had ended decades ago had, in reality, merely waited.The rest was no longer my responsibility.Unfortunately, I had acquired another.I crossed the Palace at an unhurried pace, though the building itself seemed incapable of remaining still. Messengers hurried through corridors carrying sealed reports beneath their arms, servants disappeared around corners with expressions that suggested they knew very little and feared considerably more, while guards moved in organized formations toward the oute

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 43 ~ Tremor

    {Ragna's POV}I was staring at Milena now and I wasn’t sure I had exactly heard well.In fact, I seriously doubted that I had heard well, so I kept staring intensely, waiting for her to expatiate, while dropping another prompt.“What?” I said and then she smiled.“I’m just messing with you.” She said and then laughed. “Look at the seriousness on your face!” Her finger arrowed at me as she continued laughing.I shook my head then at her silliness and hated that I fell for it. But then there was something with how she said it. Still, it was my fault for falling for it. “You’re unserious.” I muttered now.“I know.” She responded and then shifted closer to me like she had been pulled. “But the Prince is really gorgeous, Ragna!”I looked at her.“Nah.”“Come on. I personally think he’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. He looks like freaking god! Did you see his build?”I sighed. “Now you’re just being weird.” I said and Milena stared at me as though she genuinely expected me to re

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 42 ~ Reflections

    {Ragna’s POV}The dungeon somehow felt emptier after Liam left.Not quieter. That would have been impossible.Somewhere beyond our cell, a prisoner was loudly insisting that he had been wrongly imprisoned for the fifteenth time since I’d arrived. Iron doors continued opening and slamming shut at uneven intervals while guards barked orders through the corridors, and every now and then another voice joined the endless chorus of complaints echoing beneath the Palace.The noise hadn’t changed.We had.The conversation Liam left behind still sat inside the cell with us, heavy enough that neither Milena nor I seemed particularly eager to disturb it.Your chances of escaping persecution this time are worse than zero…It was an unpleasant sentence.Not because it frightened me. But because I believed him.Liam wasn’t the sort of person who dressed ugly truths in prettier words. If anything, he seemed determined to strip away whatever hope people managed to invent for themselves. It was an irr

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 41 ~ In Exchange

    {Liam’s POV}The heavy door closed behind us, muting the arguments from the council chamber until they became nothing more than distant echoes swallowed by stone.For a few moments, my father simply stood there with his back against the door, breathing as though he had walked far more than a handful of corridors. His eyes swept across the chamber once, reassuring himself that we were truly alone before finally settling on me again.“Now,” he said quietly, “tell me why we’re speaking about this.”I regarded him for a moment before answering.“Because it determines everything I’ve told you so far.”A crease appeared between his brows.“I don’t understand.”“I know.”I folded my hands behind my back and leaned lightly against one of the stone pillars lining the chamber.“Which is why I’d like to make a proposal before I continue.”His expression shifted.“A proposal?”“A deal.”Silence settled between us.Then he exhaled slowly.“…What deal?”I studied him for a moment before answering.

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 40 ~ My Theory

    {Liam’s POV}My father didn’t speak.For perhaps five full seconds, he simply stood there staring at me, and I allowed the silence to remain exactly as it was. There was no point filling it. Some truths demanded room after they were spoken, and this was one of them.Eventually, he laughed.Not because he found anything amusing.Because disbelief often disguised itself as laughter before surrendering to reality.“…What?”His brows pulled together as though the word itself had refused to cooperate.“What do you mean Sir Hagari is the culprit female’s father?”His eyes searched mine, looking for the smallest sign that I had decided to entertain myself at his expense.“That isn’t possible.”He shook his head almost immediately.“No. Hagari has served beside me for years. He has been one of the most loyal men in this Kingdom.”His voice grew firmer as he continued, convincing himself more than he was convincing me.“He cannot betray me.”I waited until he finished.“It’s the truth,” I said

    {Ragna’s POV}Lying there on the ground with my vision hazy and my focus twitching, I told myself I was fucked. Paige apparently agreed.Because before I could properly recover, several pounds of angry woman landed on top of me.The air rushed from my lungs in a painful burst as her weight slammed

    {Ragna’s POV}Shit.The realization settled heavily inside my chest as I stood there listening to these thousands and one voices.Several seconds streaked by now but the contemptuous noise persisted in endless waves causing me to pour out a heavy breath.Okay, Ragna. You got this.This is light wor

    {Ragna’s POV}I barely slept.Not because the kennel was uncomfortable. Honestly, discomfort had become such a constant part of my existence now that my body barely protested anymore.It was the noise.The heat.The smell.Someone near the far side of the kennel snored like they were fighting for s

  • All Is Fair In Love And Blood   Chapter 16 ~ Back Into The Rot

    {Ragna's POV}The Arena had guts.Not metaphorical guts.Actual guts probably.Because the deeper we moved through the tunnel systems, the more the place smelled like sweat, blood, wet stone and poor structural decisions. Heat clung to the walls while iron-barred lanterns burned unevenly overhead,
