Bride Of The Beast Chapter 153: My mother was Matilda
That night, the exhaustion finally caught up with me. My eyelids grew too heavy to keep open. I fell into a sleep so deep it felt like drowning. In the dark of my mind, I wasn't lying in the bedchamber. I stood in a vast, silent space filled with thick grey mist. The air felt weightless, smelling faintly of crushed herbs and fresh rain. Down around my waist, the velvet robes and tight linen wraps were gone. I looked down. Across my lower abdomen, the rough line of the incision stood out sharp against my skin, the black thread holding the sliced flesh together. Slowly, without thinking, I lifted my hand and placed my palm flat over the center of the cut. My skin felt warm, so hot it almost stung. A faint, golden-white light began to bleed out from between my fingers, creeping into the dark line of the wound. The dull ache beneath my palm dissolved into a soothing, cool wave that washed straight through my muscle and bone. In the dream, I smoothed my thumb over the cut, tracing th
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 152: Healed
Two days passed, mostly spent in bed resting and taking care of the boys. The tight wraps around my waist kept my stomach stable, and by the time the morning of my twentieth birthday arrived, I could walk around the room without needing Eilis to hold me up.The whole castle was preparing for the day. Because it was my twentieth birthday, and because of the newborn princes, King Nicholas had ordered a full day of celebration throughout the territory. Banners were hung along the walls, music echoed from the lower courtyards, and servants moved back and forth through the halls bringing food and wine for the feast set for that evening.In our room, things were quiet.Lysander was asleep in the wooden cradle, while I sat on the edge of the mattress holding Amias. Eilis walked back from the window, carrying a small tray with breakfast, and set it on the table near the bed.He sat beside me, reaching out to adjust the blanket over Amias's shoulder."Happy twentieth birthday, Raven," Eilis
Bride Of The Beast chapter 151: Love them equally
With Calani’s help, I managed to stand on my own two feet, though every small breath felt like a tug against the tight thread holding my skin together. The royal robes hid the bulk of the thick linen wraps, falling over my frame in long, sweeping folds of deep velvet.Calani picked up Lysander, while I carefully lifted Amias into my arms, holding him close against my chest to offset the strain on my stomach.The doors swept open. Eilis was waiting right outside, his eyes scanning me from head to toe with razor-sharp worry. Without a word, he stepped up to my side, slipping a warm hand around my waist to secretly take most of my weight as we began the slow trek toward the Great Hall."If it hurts too much, tell me," Eilis said under his breath, his eyes fixed straight ahead. "I don't care about the tradition. I will pick you up and bring you back.""I'll make it," I gritted out, leaning into his shoulder just enough to stay upright.The corridors were lined with guards, their heads b
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 150: Lysander and Amias
The door creaked open, and Eilis stepped into the room.The exhaustion etched into his face melted away the second his eyes landed on me sitting up in bed, both babies cradled securely against my chest. He closed the distance between us in long, hurried strides, dropping heavily onto the edge of the mattress."You're awake," he rasped out, his broad hand immediately reaching out to cup the back of my neck. He leaned down, pressing a firm, desperate kiss against my forehead, holding it there as if reassuring himself I was truly alive. "How do you feel? Is the stomach hurting?""It's sore, but I'm fine," I whispered, leaning into his touch. I looked down at the two bundles in my arms. "They need names, Eilis."Eilis’s gaze softened as he looked down at the babies. He extended a broad finger, letting the dark-haired baby grip it tightly with his surprisingly strong fist."The strong one," Eilis murmured, a faint, proud smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "He's fierce like the pack's
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 149: Heal yourself
RAVENThe fog in my mind cleared slowly, piece by piece.When my eyes finally fluttered open, the dim light of the bedchamber stung my sight. My body felt stiff and completely drained of energy. A dull ache throbbed across my abdomen, trapped under layers of tight linen bandages, but the agonizing pain of the incision was gone.I turned my head slowly on the pillow. Eilis wasn't in the room. The space beside me on the mattress was cold, the sheets rumpled where he had been sitting.Then I heard it.A soft, snuffling sound coming from the wooden cradle pulled up right against the edge of the mattress.My heart hammered against my ribs, a desperate surge of instinct washing over my fatigue. I forced myself to sit up, wincing as the muscles in my stomach pulled against the stitches, but I didn't care. I leaned over the side of the bed, my hands reaching into the furs.There they were.The firstborn was sleeping soundly, wrapped tightly in a thick wool blanket, a tuft of thick black hair
Bride Of The Beast Chapter 148: A reflection of us
EILISThe chamber was deathly quiet, saved only for the crackle of the hearth and the uneven breathing on the bed.Outside the door, I could hear the faint, muffled murmurs of the castle. Word of the birth had spread through the territory like wildfire. Denis had arrived first, his heavy footsteps echoing down the corridor, followed by Camden, Calani, Solvra, Kiya, and a few of the noble ladies from the inner circle.I only allowed Denis, Calani, and the King into the room for a brief moment. They stood near the doorway, keeping their voices down, their eyes darting nervously between the cradle and the bed. The incision across Raven’s lower abdomen was fresh, fragile, and held together by nothing more than thread. A single shock or sudden movement could tear him open again, so I ushered them out quickly, keeping the rest of the nobles out in the hall.Inside the room, Raven slept.The numbing draught, mixed with the blood loss and trauma of the surgery, pulled him into a deep sleep. H
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Thirty Five: A surprise kiss
RavenI woke up alone on the bed, my chest spiked for a moment before I heard the sound of water being poured and breathed out. He hadn't left me alone. Just as I was standing up from the bed Eilis appeared from the washroom door, already fully dressed in his riding leathers. “You're going out of
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Thirteen: A place of Quiet
The second morning was quieter than the first, the kind of heavy, suffocating silence that usually precedes a storm. I had spent the dawn hours standing in the center of my room, letting Calani adjust the binders until I could only take air in short, measured sips. My ribs ached with a dull, consta
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
