Adrienne woke before dawn.

She hadn't slept—not really. Every time she'd closed her eyes, she heard it. The moans. The breathless gasps. The rhythmic sounds that had echoed through that connecting door for what felt like hours.

Her supposed husband. Fucking his mistress. Loud enough to make sure she knew exactly what she was missing.

The rage that had burned white-hot last night had cooled into something sharper. Something colder. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of a confrontation, he's

  • BETROTHED TO THE ARROGANT PRINCE -HIS UNTAMED WARRIOR QUEEN    CHAPTER 32: HIS CHAMBERS

    The torchlight caught the sheer fabric of Celeste's dress, the shadows moving against her skin in ways that were not accidental. She stood in the doorway of Orion's sitting room with her dark hair loose and her chin lifted, and whatever she had been expecting to find when she walked through that door, it was clearly not Adrienne standing in the middle of the room.Adrienne did not move. She stood with her weight balanced evenly, her bare feet on the cold stone, the too-large shirt falling off one shoulder, the trousers bunched at her ankles. The bandaging beneath the shirt pulled slightly when she breathed but she did not let it show on her face. She had taken worse wounds and stood through longer nights and she was not going to sway or lean or give Celeste anything.Celeste recovered quickly. Her expression smoothed into something careful, something that was trying very hard to look like she belonged here. She dropped into a curtsy, shallow and quick, the kind of courtesy that did ex

  • BETROTHED TO THE ARROGANT PRINCE -HIS UNTAMED WARRIOR QUEEN    CHAPTER 31: HIS SHIRT. HIS BED

    Adrienne woke up and did not know where she was.She lay still for a moment with her eyes on the ceiling, waiting for her head to catch up with the rest of her. It was slow to do it. There was a heaviness sitting behind her eyes that made everything feel slightly removed from itself, like she was thinking through water. The room around her was large and dim and she did not recognize the curtains or the furniture or the particular way the morning light was coming through the gap in the drapes and falling across the floor in one long pale strip.She turned her head and looked around properly and then everything caught up at once.Orion's room.She knew it without being told. The room had the same quality he did, large and unhurried and dark in its colors, nothing ornate, nothing that was there just to be looked at. The furniture was heavy dark wood and the curtains were deep green and everything was exactly where it was supposed to be without being arranged. She had never been inside th

    "Get the healer here now!" Orion roared.He moved through the corridor with Adrienne in his arms and her blood was on his hands and his chest and he could feel her pulse when he adjusted his grip and it was there but barely, the kind of pulse that made something in his chest go very still and very cold.The male healer was already in his chambers when he got there. He took one look at Adrienne and moved toward the bed the moment Orion laid her down."My lord, I'll need to tear her clothes to get to the wound, the blade has…"Orion went still. "What did you say?"The healer blinked. "The wound, my lord, I need access to…""Get me a female healer." His voice didn't rise. "You are not going to touch her.""My lord." The healer's voice climbed with desperation. "She is barely breathing. If I don't treat this now…""And I said I want a female healer." If looks could kill, the healer would be six feet under, from the glare Orion gave him. "Do you need me to say it a third time?""Here!" The

  • BETROTHED TO THE ARROGANT PRINCE -HIS UNTAMED WARRIOR QUEEN    CHAPTER TWENTY NINE: “Open Those Eyes, Wildcat.”

    The clash between Camelot and Valdoria was brutal.Hundreds of Camelot's knights hit Valdoria's force all at once and drove them back, pushing the fighting away from the villages, away from the streets where people were still running. The crowd that had been watching the duel was gone now. The field was just blood and steel and bodies.Orion moved through the middle of it. His sword came down on a Valdoria knight coming at his side and the man dropped and Orion was already turning to the next one. He kept moving, kept scanning the field, because the moment you stopped reading it was the moment it killed you.He found Adrienne.She had three men on her and she was handling them. She moved around the first one and her blade caught him across the back and she was already turning before he finished falling. The second one swung wide and she let it go past her and stepped in close and drove her elbow into his face and ran her sword through his side. The third came at her low and her boot c

  • BETROTHED TO THE ARROGANT PRINCE -HIS UNTAMED WARRIOR QUEEN    CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: ADRIENNE TOOK HIS HEAD

    King Matthias barely finished the word before Tobias was already moving.He came at her with everything he had, full weight, full speed, no warning, and his sword was aimed straight for her like he had already decided this was going to be over fast. Adrienne didn't back up. She came forward and her blade met his so hard the sound snapped across the whole field and the crowd didn't know whether to cheer or hold their breath.She matched him strike for strike.Every blow he threw she answered. He was bigger than her, taller than her, stronger than her, and he was using every bit of it, driving his weight behind each swing, trying to grind her down, trying to make her arms feel the difference between them. Adrienne kept moving, kept reading him, didn't give him a clean hit.The crowd found its voice. Loud and getting louder.King Matthias sat very still up in the royal seats and thought about Silvara for the first time since the gauntlet dropped in the hall. He thought about King Aldric.

    Before Orion could respond, trumpets blared.The grand doors swung open with a boom that echoed through the hall."His Royal Majesty, King Odin of Valdoria, arrives!"King Odin walked in like he was entering his own castle.He was in his late sixties but moved like a man twenty years younger. Broad-shouldered. Straight-backed. His armor was dark, almost black and covered in the scars of countless battles. His face was weathered, lined with age and experience, but his eyes were sharp and mischievous.Behind him came two younger men who could only be his sons. The first was older, maybe thirty, with dark hair and the calculating look of someone who thought three moves ahead. Crown Prince Gideon.The second was younger, built like a siege weapon, massive shoulders, thick arms, the kind of muscle that came from years of brutal training. Prince Tobias.And behind them, twenty knights in matching dark armor. No advisors. No courtiers. No scribes or diplomats.Just warriors."I welcome you t

    "That's not—""Separate quarters, minimal interaction, staying out of each other's way." She met his gaze, her voice ice. "Your words, if I recall correctly. Or have you changed your mind?"Orion's jaw clenched. "No. I haven't changed my mind.""Good. Then we have an understanding."Silence fell ag

    [THE TEMPLE OF SILVARA]The Temple of Silvara was ancient, built from white stone that seemed to glow in the afternoon light. Every pew was packed with nobles from across the kingdoms, their fine clothes a riot of color against the austere beauty of the space. Camelot knights stood at attention alo

    "That was the best dinner I've ever attended," Giselle announced before they'd even left Silvara's gates. "And I've attended a lot of dinners.""I'm thrilled you enjoyed my humiliation," Orion said dryly. "Oh, it wasn't humiliation. It was enlightening." She leaned forward, her eyes gleaming. "She

    Giselle was now hitting the table, shoulders shaking with silent laughter. Several advisors had disapproval looks in their faces.Queen Helena's lips twitched. "Perhaps we should discuss the wedding arrangements?""Excellent idea," King Aldric said quickly. "The ceremony is planned for four weeks f
