Bound To The Shadowed Heir Kiss in the Shadows
The cold edge of Seraphina’s dagger pressed harder against my throat. One small movement and it would cut deep.I stayed perfectly still, eyes locked on hers. My heart hammered so loud I could barely hear the thundering hooves behind us.Darius’s voice cut through the mountain air again, raw and furious. “Seraphina! I repeat myself! Touch her and I swear on every scar I carry, I’ll burn this entire mountain with you on it!”Seraphina’s lips curved into that poisonous smile, but her eyes flickered with something new, uncertainty. She kept the blade steady against my skin. “Big words from a man bleeding out on a horse. You really think you can reach her before I open her throat?”Darius rode closer, Garrick and the others right behind him. Mother’s face was pale with fear, but she sat straight in the saddle. Darius looked terrible, fever still flushing his cheeks, fresh blood staining the bandage on his shoulder, but his eyes burned with something fierce when they found mine.“Let her g
Bound To The Shadowed Heir The Devil’s Choice
The rope bit deeper into my wrists with every step up the mountain trail. Seraphina rode ahead on her sleek black horse, the lead rope tied to her saddle like I was livestock. Her men flanked me on both sides, their boots crunching on loose stones. My grazed arm throbbed in time with my heartbeat, blood slowly soaking the sleeve of my torn gown.I kept my eyes forward, refusing to look back even though every part of me wanted to. Darius’s voice still rang in my ears, raw, furious, promising he was coming. I clung to that promise like a lifeline.Seraphina glanced down at me, her smile sharp and satisfied. “You’re quieter than I expected, little sister. No begging? No tears? How disappointing.”I lifted my chin, forcing my voice steady despite the pain. “Begging you would only make you happier. I’d rather save my breath.”She laughed, the sound light and cruel. “Brave words for someone walking to her own cage. When we reach the palace, Father will want to see how well you break. And I
Bound To The Shadowed Heir Seraphina’s Venom
Seraphina’s smile gleamed in the torchlight. She stood on the narrow trail ahead, flanked by a dozen armed men, her emerald cloak fluttering in the mountain wind. Arrows were already nocked behind her.“Ohh.. my poor little princess... our future Queen consort. Your Majesty.” she called sweetly. “I could have helped you run forever, but we have a little surprise waiting for you at the palace.”Darius’s horse shifted nervously beneath us. His body tensed against my chest, breath coming short from the fever and the fresh strain. I kept my arms locked tight around his waist, feeling the heat of his skin through his torn tunic.“Seraphina,” he growled, voice rough but steady. “Call your dogs off. This isn’t your fight.”She laughed, light and cruel, stepping closer. “Oh, but it is. Father wants you back in chains. He wants the girl broken and the queen silenced. And I… I want to watch you lose everything you tried so hard to protect.”Mother’s horse edged up beside ours. Tomas and Garrick
Bound To The Shadowed Heir Blade at Her Throat
The hunting lodge creaked softly around us, old wood settling in the early morning light. I sat on the edge of the narrow bed, Darius’s hand still loose in mine. His skin burned hot against my palm, the fever refusing to break even after the medicine Garrick had forced down his throat.Mother moved quietly across the room, stirring a fresh pot of herbs over the small hearth. Garrick and the other two loyal guards stood watch at the windows, swords ready. The forest outside looked peaceful now, sunlight filtering through the leaves.Darius stirred, eyes fluttering open. One could tell he had fever by just looking at this eyes, then his eyes found mine, something cleared for a second. “You’re still here.”“I told you I would be.” I squeezed his hand gently. “How do you feel?”“Like I got trampled by horses.” A weak, rough laughter escaped him. “You fought like a wolf back there. Never expected that from the quiet princess they locked away.”I brushed damp hair from his forehead with my

The distant sound of horses grew louder, cutting through the quiet night like a warning bell.Darius tried to push himself up from the bed, but the fever made his arms shake. “They found us. Ronan doesn’t give up.”I pressed him back down gently, my hand on his good shoulder. “Stay still. You’re burning up. Mother and I will handle the door.”Mother moved quickly to the small window, peering out into the darkness. “Three riders. They’re circling the clearing. We can’t fight them like this.”I grabbed the dagger from the table and stood between the bed and the door. My heart raced, but my grip stayed steady. “Then we don’t fight fair. We hide Darius and make them think we’re alone.”Darius’s eyes flashed with protest. “No. I won’t hide while you...”“Shut up and listen,” I cut in, voice low and urgent. “You protected us in the cave. Now let us protect you. For once.”He stared at me for a long moment, pain and something softer mixing in his gaze. Finally, he nodded once, jaw tight.Mot
Bound To The Shadowed Heir Fevered Confessions
The sound of boots crunching on loose stones grew louder outside the cave mouth. Torches flickered, throwing dancing shadows across the damp rock walls.Darius leaned heavily against the stone beside me, his breathing shallow and uneven. Blood continued to seep through the torn bandage on his shoulder, staining my sleeve where I pressed against him. Mother crouched on my other side, her hand gripping my arm tightly.“Stay quiet,” Darius whispered, I could barely hear his voice. His fingers found mine again in the darkness, squeezing once, a silent promise or a plea, I couldn’t tell.Outside, Ronan’s voice rang clear and mocking. “Come out, little bride. We know you’re in there. Bring my brother too. Father is waiting, and he’s not a patient man.”I held my breath. The cave was narrow, barely deep enough to hide all three of us. One wrong move and they’d see us.A guard’s voice answered Ronan. “Shall we smoke them out, my lord?”“Not yet,” Ronan replied, his tone light but cruel. “Let’
