Lila’s P.O.V

The first sound was not his voice.

It was breath.

Rough. Uneven. Too close to the receiver, as though he had pressed the phone to his mouth without realizing it was already recording. For a moment, I heard nothing else—just that quiet, strained exhale, the faint rush of air that carried distance inside it.

My fingers tightened around the phone.

He was alive.

Before my mind could run further, his voice came through—low, hoarse, threaded with something I had never heard from him befo

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   A Truth I Didn’t Want To Hear

    Lila’s P.O.VThe door closed behind me with a finality that echoed deeper than sound.For a moment, I couldn’t move.I stood just inside the threshold, my eyes struggling to adjust to the darkness that swallowed the room whole. It wasn’t the soft dimness of candlelight or shadowed corners—it was thick, suffocating darkness, the kind that felt like it had weight.Like it could press against your skin.Like it could breathe.I swallowed.My throat felt dry.The air was different in here.Heavier.Damp.Alive with something I couldn’t name.“Do not be afraid.”His voice came from somewhere ahead.Low.Rough.Too calm.I strained my eyes forward.And then—A thin beam of light cut through the darkness.Sharp.Narrow.Like an arrow piercing through the void.It struck across the room, illuminating just enough for me to see him.Modrach.Fully.And for the first time—I understood why people spoke of him the way they did.His face was… unsettling.Not grotesque.Not monstrous.But wrong in

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   Into The Wild

    Lila’s P.O.VThe night had a different weight when you chose to step into it.Not the quiet kind that settles over a place naturally—but the kind that presses against your chest when you know you are not supposed to be where you are going.Every sound felt louder.Every shadow deeper.Every step… deliberate.I stood in the dim corridor outside Madam Lavinge’s quarters, my cloak drawn tightly over my shoulders, the rough fabric unfamiliar against my skin. It scratched slightly at my wrists, a far cry from the silks and softness I was accustomed to.A peasant.That was what I was meant to be tonight.No jewels.No crown.No identity that could protect me.Just another face in the dark.My breath came slow, controlled—but my heart… my heart refused to obey.It beat too fast.Too loud.As if it knew what I was walking into before I fully did.“She’s ready.”Diane’s voice came softly behind me.I turned.She looked almost unrecognizable.Gone was the sharp, polished edge she carried so nat

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   No One Is To Know

    Lila’s P.O.VI did not sleep.Not truly.I lay in bed beside Lucian, his breathing steady, his presence warm and grounding in a way I had longed for days ago—but now, it felt distant. Not physically. He was close enough that if I reached out, my fingers would find him without effort.But my mind—My mind was elsewhere.Turning.Weighing.Replaying every word Diane had said.*A sorcerer.*The thought alone should have sounded absurd.And yet—It didn’t.Not anymore.Not after everything.Not after the cloak.Not after the pattern.Not after the growing, undeniable certainty that something had been shaping my life long before I began to question it.I turned slightly onto my side, my gaze drifting to Lucian.Even in sleep, there was a softness to his expression now. The tension he had carried earlier had eased, his features relaxed in a way that made him look younger—less burdened.Innocent, almost.My chest tightened.“I wish I could tell you,” I whispered, barely audible even to mysel

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   Weighing On Seeing The Sorcerer’s Mind

    Lila’s P.O.VThe night did not come all at once.It settled in layers—first the dimming of light, then the quieting of footsteps, then the gradual retreat of voices until even the walls seemed to hold their breath. By the time the palace had fully given itself to the dark, I was no longer in the lounge with Diane and Nico.I had left them.Not abruptly.Not noticeably.But with that quiet withdrawal I had mastered over time—the kind where no one stops you because no one realizes you’ve gone.And yet—I didn’t go to Lucian.I knew where he would be.Our chambers.Waiting, perhaps.Or maybe not waiting.Maybe just… there.But something in me resisted the idea of stepping back into that space so soon. Not because I didn’t want to see him—but because I needed a moment where I wasn’t someone’s wife, someone’s queen, someone’s answer.I needed to be just… me.So I walked.The corridors stretched long and dim, lit by flickering lamps that cast uneven shadows along the walls. My steps echoed

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   Time Between Us

    Lila's P.O.VShe thought she knew what it meantBut this timeThere was no real bite behind it.Because something had shifted.Something had settled.Not perfectly.Not completely.But enough.Enough to breathe.Enough to move forward.Enough to try again.Dinner ended softer than it began.The tension had melted into something lighter—laughter lingering in the air, the clinking of cutlery fading into quiet conversation, the children already drifting toward sleep in the next wing of the house. For a moment, it felt almost normal. Like a life untouched by secrets, by waiting, by the weight of things unspoken.Almost.Lucian’s hand brushed mine once more as we stood from the table.This time, I didn’t pull away.But I didn’t hold on either.There was still something delicate between us—something mending, not yet whole. And I knew, instinctively, that if I stayed too long in that warmth, I might forget the unease that had been growing beneath everything.I turned to him.“I’ll see you la

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   I Watched His Chest Rise And Fall

    Lila’s P.O.VI didn’t look at him.Not at first.Even after he asked. Even after he stood there, waiting, trying, searching my face for something I wasn’t ready to give just yet.I turned away.Deliberately.My attention shifted back to Diane and Nico as though nothing had interrupted us, as though his presence wasn’t pulling at me from the side like something unfinished demanding closure.“So,” I said, forcing a calm into my voice that didn’t quite settle, “you were saying something about the trip you took last month?”Diane blinked at me.Then at Lucian.Then back at me.“Seriously?” she mouthed silently.I ignored her.Nico, however, picked up on it faster.“Yeah,” he said slowly, glancing between us with mild amusement. “We went up north for a bit. Needed a break.”“That sounds nice,” I replied, nodding faintly, keeping my gaze fixed anywhere but on Lucian.He didn’t move.I could feel it.That stillness.That quiet weight of him just… standing there.Waiting.The air had changed
