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
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 173: Please don't shut me out
Calani sat on the edge of a narrow cot, rocking Lysander while Amias slept fitfully beside her. The second we walked through the door, her eyes wide with fear, she stood and carefully transferred Lysander into my arms.I pulled my son against my chest, burying my face in his blanket as a shaky sigh escaped me. Eilis moved quietly beside us, lifting Amias out of the cot and holding him close.He looked broken. The weight of Matilda’s final words, her sacrifice, and his own blind hatred hung over him like a shroud. He should feel guilt, regret. My mother was dead because of him. I was separated from my mother because of him again.Eilis carefully set Amias back down on the cot, his hands shaking. Then, to my utter shock, the Alpha dropped to his knees right on the floor in front of me."Raven... please," Eilis rasped, his voice cracking, entirely stripped of pride. He reached out, his fingers hovering over my wrists, terrified to touch me. "I was wrong. I was so blind, so consumed by my
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 172: Now What?!
My mother lay still against my knees. Her face was calm, smoothed of the pain that had racked her moments before."Wake up," I whispered. My voice sounded hollow, like it was coming from the bottom of a well. I pressed my forehead against her cold knuckles, squeezing until my fingers throbbed. "Come on. You don't get to say all of that and just leave. Wake up." No answer. No rise of her chest. Nothing. A hand settled onto my shoulder, broad, heavy, and hot against my skin. Eilis. I didn't pull away, but I couldn't bring myself to look up at him either. His fingers tightened slightly. Around us, no one moved. The surviving witches stood near the shattered gates, their hands lowered, their eyes fixed on Matilda’s body with a mixture of grief and shock. Denis lay unconscious against the base of a cracked pillar, bloody and forgotten. The pack guards remained in formation, blades still drawn, but the thirst for blood had vanished, replaced by an uncomfortable tension. King Nicholas s
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 171: Always Love You
Out of the smoke a woman rushed out. My mother. Matilda.She hurled herself straight between Eilis and Denis's blade of black magic."Mother!" I shrieked.Matilda threw up both hands, a blinding white shield of pure magic erupting from her palms to catch Denis’s attack. The impact rattled the very foundation of the palace. Sparks of black and white energy rained down around them as she strained against the overwhelming force of his spell. Her skin paled, her muscles shaking violently under the weight of Denis’s hatred. It was too much. Her magic cracked, the dark blast pushing through her shield and tearing straight into her chest.As the spell consumed her, Matilda let out a cry and threw every remaining ounce of her soul into one final, explosive burst of raw light aimed straight at Denis.The resulting explosion detonated like a thunderclap. The blast sent Denis flying backward into a pillar, his body crumbling to the floor. The force knocked Matilda backward through the air, her
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 170: A friend turned foe
I tore through another spellcaster, throwing his lifeless body aside as I took a second to breathe. I swept my gaze across the brutal chaos of the grand hall. My father was a towering force of nature on the far side of the room, his massive black wolf form crushing witches underfoot with the terrifying ease of a true Alpha. Beside him, Camden fought in his brown wolf form, jaw locked around a spellcaster's neck as he thrashed the witch against the flagstones. Across the hall, my sister Aria fought fiercely, her blade flashing through the air as she parried curse after curse with blinding speed. Then my eyes caught Osric and Elian. A sudden surge of relief hit my chest at the sight of my two brothers. They were both fully shifted, their wolf forms moving with lethal, fluid precision beside our father. They looked whole. They looked normal, and seeing them fight like true wolf royalty made fierce Alpha pride burn hot in my veins. And then, I saw Raven. My breath hitched in my t
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 169: Die in this hall
The doors of the grand hall exploded inward in a blinding shower of stone dust, fire, and twisted metal.I yielded to the beast before my feet even touched the bottom stair. My bones cracked and re-formed in a second of blinding agony, muscles expanding, jaws elongating as I shifted straight into my full wolf form.I hit the front line like a battering ram.My jaws clamped around the throat of the first witch through the gap, the sickening crunch of cartilage swallowed by the roar of battle. I drove him into the flagstones, using the momentum to slam my massive weight into three more. Their green defensive shields shattered like brittle glass under my claws, throwing them back into the shattered doorway.Blood, hot, metallic, and thick, soaked into my dark coat. I didn't care whose it was. Every instinct I possessed burned with a single, brutal command: gut them all.A volley of offensive magic cut through the haze, a beam of blinding red light searing across my flank. Flesh charred,
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 Eight: A Lie
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
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Seven: The Bond
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
