Raven

I stayed awake in our bedchamber, waiting for the thud of Eilis’s boots in the corridor. The fire in the hearth was burning down to low embers, casting long shadows across the stone walls.

When the door finally creaked open, Eilis looked exhausted. His shoulders were tense, his dark hair unkempt, and his chest heaved with the rage he had been carrying for weeks. He locked the door behind him and unbuckled his leather sword belt, letting it drop to the floorboards with a dull thud.

  • Bride Of The Beast   Thank You For Reading To The End!

    To my amazing readers, We have officially reached the end of Eilis and Raven’s story! When I first started writing this book, I knew their journey wouldn't be easy. They went through so much pain, deception, and heartbreak to finally reach the peace they deserved. Writing their healing—and getting to see them build a real family with Lysander and Amias—has meant the absolute world to me. Thank you so much for sticking with them through every twist, turn, and emotional high and low. Your comments, support, and love for these characters kept me motivated every step of the way. I couldn't have finished this book without you. A huge shoutout to everyone who continuously dropped votes and boosted this book on the rankings!

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 178: Our Family

    The doors of the council hall were already propped wide open, the loud hum of voices spilling out into the corridor long before we even reached the threshold. Five years ago, walking down this hallway meant bracing for tension, cold stares, and the bitter reek of old hostility. Now, everything was different. I no longer wondered if anyone liked me. I knew my place now, and that was beside Eilis and being the king's consort.Eilis walked beside proud, holding Amias securely against his hip, while Lysander marched two steps ahead of us, puffing his little chest out as if he were leading a regiment into battle."Announcing the King and the King's Consort," the guard at the entrance called out, his voice echoing.The room fell quiet for a brief second, but it wasn't the terrified silence of the past. Coven elders in green robes sat right next to wolf commanders in leather armor, unrolling maps across the long table. King Nicholas sat in a high-backed armchair by the hearth, looking rela

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 177: The Little Wolve And The Little Witch

    Raven The morning sun warmed the floor of the playroom. Four years had passed since the war ended, and the palace was now full of the non-stop noise of two growing boys. Amias sat on the rug by the fireplace, his big green eyes fixed on a small carved wooden bird in his hand. His blonde curls fell over his forehead as he focused hard, sticking the tip of his tongue out. With a little gasp, a tiny spark of green light popped from his fingers, making the bird hop an inch on the rug. He was quiet and liked to watch things. "Amias, look!" A loud crash shook the room. Lysander sprinted across the playroom, his bright gold eyes—just like Eilis’s—shining with wild excitement. Lysander looked just like his dad, right down to the stubborn streak that kept the castle guards running around all day. Before I could say a word, Lysander jumped off a pile of pillows and landed right next to his brother, knocking over a tower of wooden blocks. "Lysander, stop!" Amias cried, pulling h

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 176: Together again

    I handed Lysander and Amias over to Calani, watching her settle them in before I walked back down the quiet corridor alone.Eilis was standing in his usual spot across from my door, leaning against the wall with his hands shoved deep into his pockets. The moment he heard my footsteps, his head snapped up. I unlatched my door and stepped inside, leaving it wide open behind me."Calani has the boys," I said softly, turning back to look at him. "Come inside, Eilis."He froze for a second, looking like he couldn't quite believe the words. Then he pushed off the wall and walked in, stopping just past the threshold as the door swung shut."Sit down," I told him, walking over to the small sofa by the fire.He didn't argue. He sat on the very edge, back stiff, hands pressed tightly between his knees.I sat beside him, closing the distance between us until our arms brushed. "Do you think you deserve my forgiveness?" I said, looking right into his eyes. Eilis swallowed hard, his voice thick.

  • Bride Of The Beast   chapter 175: Waiting on you

    The main hall was louder than it had been in months. Long wooden tables stretched across the room, piled high with roasted meats, warm bread, and dark ale. .The King had called a celebration for Amias and Lysander's one-month milestone.I sat near the head of the high table, holding Lysander against my chest while Amias rested quietly in a woven cradle by my knee. Aria sat to my left, keeping a watchful eye on the crowd, while Calani fussed over the dishes nearby.Across the wide table sat Eilis.I stared down at the dark wine in my cup, watching the reflection of the torchlight ripple across the surface as the King began to speak.It was funny, really. The witches had incorporated so quickly, getting accepted with an ease that made it feel as if they had never been hunted down in the first place. They moved through the lower halls, spoke at the council tables, and shared bread at our feasts.Of course, it wasn't perfect. There were still wolves who had trouble looking past the magic

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter 174: Forgive him

    Three weeks.Three weeks of watching his door stay shut.I didn't go back to my own room. When Raven moved up to the eastern wing with the boys, I brought a chair into the hallway and set it up across from his door. My father gave up trying to pull me back into full council meetings after the first few days. I didn't care how it looked. I wasn't leaving.The latch clicked, and the door swung open.I stood up immediately.Raven walked out into the corridor. He froze when he saw me standing there."Raven," I said, my voice crackly from barely using it all day. I reached out toward the tub. "Give that to me. I’ll carry it down."Raven pulled the tub back against his hip. "I’ve got it.""It's heavy," I said, taking a step toward him. "Just let me take it down the stairs.""I said I’ve got it, Eilis," he replied flatly. He didn't sound angry. He just sounded tired.I stopped moving, my stomach knotting up. The total lack of heat in his voice was worse than him screaming at me."Raven, ple

    I was navigating the edge of the dance floor, trying to reach a pillar where I could disappear for a moment, when it happened.A servant, darting through the crowd with a heavy silver tray of crystal flutes, misjudged the turn.We collided.It wasn't a hard hit, but my body was a map of raw nerves a

    EILISThe bond burned.Not like fire though, this was a constant, pulsing pressure beneath my skin, it was a low ache that tightened every time I tried to ignore it.I braced both hands against the cold stone wall of the training chamber and bowed my head. Sweat slid down my spine, my scars pulling

    My gaze took in the suffocating opulence of the hall. Gold leaf clung to every surface, reflecting the harsh glare of a thousand candles until the room felt like a polished fever dream.The air was heavy with the cloying scent of lilies and the rhythmic, predatory pulse of the orchestra. Between the

    I awoke to a stinging pain on my lower back, I winced as I tried to sit up; my vision swimming for a moment. Gods, what had he done to me? No one told me this was what it felt like, even my neck hurt from the claiming bite. My back went rigid when something moved. Slowly turning to look, I flinche
