Bride Of The Beast Chapter 139: Please Don't
Raven The moment my feet crossed the threshold, the Wolf reached out and kicked the door shut. The door slammed into the frame, and the iron latch dropped into place with a loud, final thud, locking us back in the shadows of the bedchamber.Cold water was still dripping from his hair and chest onto the rug, but he didn't seem to notice. His eyes never left my face as he slowly walked toward me.I backed up until the edge of the table pressed against the back of my thighs. My hands stayed glued to my belly, my knuckles white as I held my breath."Stop looking at me like that," the Wolf murmured. "I told you. I'm not going to hurt you.”"You just killed a man," I choked out, my voice trembling despite my best efforts. "You threatened to break a girl's neck. And you want to destroy my child. How am I supposed to look at you?""I am not going to hurt ‘you’," he repeated, emphasizing the word as he took another step closer. He stopped just inches away, towering over me. "I told you why
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 138: Threatened
RavenI burst into the corridor, my shoulder slamming hard against the doorframe as I stumbled out.The two royal guards posted outside immediately whipped around, their hands flying to the hilted swords at their belts."My consort!" the first guard shouted, his eyes darting over my disheveled hair, my bare feet, and the terror on my face. "What's wrong? What happened?"I couldn't form words. My lungs burned, and my stomach was tight. I didn't stop to explain. I just backed away down the hallway, pointing a trembling hand toward the open door of our bedchamber."Inside," I gasped out. "Don't—"The guards didn't wait for me to finish. The second guard drew his blade, stepping cautiously up to the threshold and peering inside the darkened room.I watched his face. In an instant, his eyes widened in horror.Before he could draw a breath to sound an alarm, a hand shot out from the shadow of the doorway.A sickening crunch echoed through the quiet corridor, followed by a choked scream.M
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 137: Parasite
When I opened my eyes, the room was mostly dark. The fire in the hearth had died down to low embers. The weight on my legs was gone, Eilis having shifted sometimes during my sleep. He was lying on his side right next to my knee, his bare chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. I turned slightly and leaned over to look at him. The deep tear on his shoulder was almost gone. The herbs had pulled the silver out, and his body had done the rest overnight. What had been a bloody mess yesterday was now just a couple of faint pink lines. I let out a quiet breath and tapped his cheek with my knuckles. "Eilis. Get up off the floor and get on the bed." He didn't move at first. Then his eyes opened. I stopped breathing. The look in his eyes was wrong, I just knew it wasn't Eilis anymore, the wolf had taken control. My heart started beating fast, but I tried to keep my face completely still. I could fake not knowing until I had a chance to leave the room. "Eilis," I said, keeping m
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 136: The death of you
RavenThe third day came and went, but Eilis didn't return.By the evening of the fourth day, the sky over the castle had turned a dark grey. A harsh winter wind blew off the mountains, rattling the thick glass windows in our bedchamber.I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't sit still. My lower back was aching constantly. I spent most of the afternoon pacing small laps across the rug, my hand pressed flat over my belly to support the weight of the baby."You should rest your feet, Raven," Calani said, stepping into the room with a fresh tray of water and clean towels. "Pacing like this will only wear you out.""He said three days, Calani," I said, stopping by the window to stare out into the dark courtyard below. "It's been four. There hasn't been a single rider sent back with news.""The east pass is rough terrain," she reasoned gently, placing the tray on the side table. "If it rained or snowed up in the pines, the roads would be blocked. He will be back.""I know, but even the King is n
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 135: Three Days
RavenThe morning after the tribunal, I was sitting at the low table in our quarters, waiting for Eilis to finish reading through the morning scrolls.My back was sore from sitting in the tribunal chair for so long the day before, and the baby was moving around and restless against my ribs.Eilis hadn't touched his breakfast. He sat near the window, unrolling one parchment after another, his dark brows pulled tight together. The gold in his eyes was sharper than usual, a clear sign that his wolf was on edge."What is it?" I asked, setting my herbal tea cup down.Eilis didn't look up immediately. He finished reading the line, rolled the skin shut, and dropped it onto the table."Riders came from the east border early this morning," Eilis said. "Two outposts near the pines were burned last night."I frowned, resting my hand over my stomach. "Burned? By who?""Rebel lords," Eilis replied, finally turning his head to look at me. "A faction from the outer territories. They aren't happy abo
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 134: A formal separation
RavenI sighed as I sat down, the thick furs wrapped around my shoulders and the heated stones placed beneath my feet kept the chill from settling into my bones.Every movement required effort, but Eilis had insisted on sitting right beside my raised dais, his gold eyes sweeping the courtroom, watching the guards, the humans and every single person who dared enter the hall."If you feel tired, we can end this," Eilis murmured softly under his breath, leaning over the arm of his carved chair so only I could hear. "You don't need to sit through these disputes today, Raven.""I am fine," I whispered back, offering him a small smile. "It gives me something to do other than stare at the bedchamber walls."In truth, judging the tribunal cases gave me a sense of purpose. In this room, I wasn't just the Consort carrying the royal heir, I was grounded, and people looked to me for justice. Though most of the time I didn't want to be the judge, so the king had taken pity on me and gave me only
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Twelve: The Letter
The next morning, Denis didn't give me the luxury of a slow recovery. I could still feel the meat turning in my stomach.He arrived at my chambers while the mist was still thick against the glass, carrying a wooden practice stave. He didn't look like a playful attendant today, I didn't know Denis co
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Eleven: The Hunt
The "Blood Feast" was held in the smaller dining hall.I sat at the center of the long, dark table, surrounded by the Alphas of the Council. They didn't speak to me. They just watched, their eyes tracking the way my throat moved every time I swallowed a sip of water. I wore the most restrictive gown
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Ten: The Council
The morning did not bring the soft, golden light of a new beginning. As I sat by the window in my chambers, the silk of my morning gown felt like a shroud. My body still ached—a dull, rhythmic thrumming in my lower back and the sharp, stinging memory of the bite on my neck.I had survived the ball,
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Nine: The Defiance
Eilis looked ready to snap her in half, his posture a jagged line of restrained violence. I felt like a bird pinned to a board, having no idea how to defend myself. Every word that formed in my throat felt like a trap. If I spoke to softly, I was weak, but if I spoke too firmly, my voice would betr
