BloodBound Crown Chapter 13: The Crown Prince's Scandal
The palace erupted.Not literally—though the magical shockwave from the healing wing had been strong enough to rattle windows throughout the entire complex and send courtiers diving for cover. But *politically*, the explosion was just as devastating.Within an hour of Kael's arrival, the rumors had spread through the palace like wildfire through dry grass.*The Crown Prince has a mate.**He marked her himself.**She's packless. Common. Nothing.**No, worse—she's a VALE.**Impossible. The Vales are dead.**Then explain the girl in the healing wing with Primal magic strong enough to freeze half the corridor.**The King will kill him for this.**The King will kill HER.**Civil war. This means civil war.*In the corridors, servants whispered behind their hands. In the courtyards, guards exchanged dark looks and checked their weapons. In the grand halls, nobles gathered in tight clusters, their voices rising and falling with speculation and scandal.And in the throne room, King Aldric Drav
BloodBound Crown Chapter 12: Royal Healers and Forbidden Magic
The decision to return to the palace was made for them three hours after dawn.Lyra had woken screaming.Not from a nightmare—though gods knew she had enough material for those. But from *pain*. Searing, bone-deep agony that had her convulsing on the couch, her back arching, her fingers clawing at her own skin as if trying to tear something out from beneath.Through the bond, Kael felt it all. Felt her body rejecting the healing, felt *something* inside her fighting against the mate bond's influence, felt magic—old, wild, *wrong*—surging through her veins like poison."What's happening?" she'd gasped between screams. "What's—inside me—"He'd tried everything. More healing potions. His blood. Flooding the bond with calming energy. Nothing worked. Whatever was happening to her was beyond his knowledge, beyond the simple remedies his grandfather had stored.She needed a healer. A *real* healer.Which meant going to the one place he'd been dreading.Home.Now, as his destrier thundered do
BloodBound Crown Chapter 11: The Mark Burns
The mate mark *burned*.Not painfully—nothing like the silver that had seared his palms or the wounds from last night's violence. This was different. A constant, warm pulse just beneath his skin, right at the juncture where neck met shoulder. A brand that announced to the world exactly what he'd done.*Who* he'd claimed.Kael stood at the lodge's cracked mirror, studying the mark with a mixture of pride and dawning horror at its implications.Two crescent-shaped scars, perfectly symmetrical, raised slightly above the surrounding skin. They gleamed in the morning light—not quite silver, not quite gold, but something in between. The color would fade eventually, but the shape would remain forever. Visible. Undeniable.*Permanent.*He traced the marks with his fingertips, feeling the strange resonance that pulsed through them. Every time he touched the mate mark, he felt Lyra through the bond—felt her stirring on the couch, felt her awareness of him sharpening as she climbed toward full w
BloodBound Crown Chapter 10: She Breathes
Dawn broke over the hunting lodge in shades of gold and pink, painting the dusty windows with soft light.Kael hadn't slept.He sat in a chair he'd dragged next to the couch, his eyes fixed on Lyra's face, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest with an intensity that bordered on obsession. Every breath she took was a miracle. Every heartbeat a gift he hadn't earned but would guard with his life.She was *alive*.The bond hummed steadily in his chest, no longer the raging inferno of last night but a warm, constant presence. Through it, he could feel her—truly feel her—in ways that should have been impossible. Her exhaustion, deep as an ocean. Her body's desperate work to heal itself, pulling on the power he'd given her through blood and bond. Her dreams, fragmented and dark, filled with chains and pain and loss.But no nightmares. Not anymore. Because even unconscious, she could feel him through the bond. Feel his presence keeping watch, feel his absolute refusal to let anythin
BloodBound Crown Chapter 9: Bonded in Fire
The world *burned*.Not with flame, not with heat, but with *power*—raw and ancient and utterly overwhelming. It roared through Kael's veins like molten gold, like lightning given form, remaking him from the inside out.The mate bond wasn't a gentle thing. It was *cataclysmic*.Kael had thought he understood what claiming a mate meant. He'd studied the histories, heard the stories, knew the theory. Two souls joining. A magical connection forming. Strength shared between partners.The reality made those descriptions laughable in their inadequacy.This wasn't just a connection. This was *fusion*. Two separate beings becoming something new, something *more*, while still remaining themselves. He could feel Lyra inside his chest, not as an intrusion but as if she'd always been there, a missing piece he hadn't known was absent until it clicked into place.*Her.*Her fear, sharp as broken glass. Her pain, a symphony of suffering years in the making. Her exhaustion, bone-deep and soul-crushin
BloodBound Crown Chapter 8: The Bite
Kael stood over Lyra's unconscious form, his heart hammering against his ribs with a rhythm that had nothing to do with the violence he'd just unleashed.This was it. The moment everything changed.The moment he chose *her* over everything he'd been raised to be.His father's voice echoed in his mind, cold and absolute: *Duty before desire. Crown before heart. The kingdom's survival depends on your ability to make the hard choices, Kael. Never forget that.*He'd never forgotten. Had built his entire life around those words. Had become exactly what his father wanted—a weapon without weakness, a prince without passion, an heir who would do whatever necessary to protect the throne.Even kill an innocent girl because her bloodline threatened his father's reign.But standing here, looking at Lyra's battered body, at the golden collar still gleaming around her throat, at the defiant fire in her eyes that hadn't been extinguished despite everything they'd done to her—He couldn't do it.*Wou
