RAVEN

The carriage wheels rattled against the uneven stone of a cave. The moonlight vanished, replaced by the flickering orange of torches mounted on the walls. I huddled in the corner, my chest tight.

Through the small, barred window, I heard the carriage slow. The wolves outside were talking, their voices echoing off the cave ceiling.

"Lord Arden said to move fast," one of them growled. "He doesn't want the Prince finding a trail."

"The brat did her part," another rasped. "The old man

Just a little visual for you guys to hold onto: Picture Raven, battered but not broken, his once-regal gold gown now shredded and clinging to his thighs. His blonde hair swaying as he climbs, tears falling down his porcelain face against the dark stone. There’s something so hauntingly beautiful about a boy like that—looking so fragile, yet climbing out of the depths with enough fire in him.

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Seventy: Fake pregnancy

    RAVENWe spent the night clinging to each other in the dark. There were no words left to say. We just lay tangled together under the blankets, Eilis’s arms locked securely around my waist, his face buried in my neck. Eventually, exhaustion won, and we fell into a heavy sleep.When morning came, the pale light of dawn filtered through the curtains. I opened my eyes, feeling the familiar weight of Eilis holding me tight.Then, a sharp knock shattered the silence.Eilis woke instantly. His body went rigid, his grip tightening around me before he slowly let go.The door swung open, and a palace guard stepped inside. "Forgive the early intrusion, Prince Eilis. His Majesty has commanded that you and Raven come to his private chambers immediately."Eilis’s jaw clenched. "Tell my father we will be there shortly."We got dressed in silence. I pulled on a simple robe, and we left his quarters. Four guards immediately fell into step behind us, escorting us through the corridors until we reached

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Sixty Nine: Two Months

    RAVEN The King didn't answer immediately. He looked from Arden to Eilis, then down at me. "A test of the bloodline," the King murmured. He leaned forward, his expression heavy. "Two full moons. If this is true, they will sustain the lineage. If not, the law takes its course. The High Council will have its execution." "Your Majesty, this is madness!" Eilis shouted, taking a step toward the throne. The guards instantly brought their spears down, creating a barrier of steel between the Prince and his father. Eilis didn't back away, his gold eyes blazing with desperation. "You are letting Arden sentence my mate to death based on an impossible condition!" "It is the only condition that satisfies the Council, Prince Eilis," Arden said smoothly, crossing his arms. "Enough," the King commanded, his voice flat. He looked down at me. "The decree is set. Raven of Dierna will remain under guard in the palace. He has until the end of the second full moon to conceive an heir. If he fails, he a

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Sixty Eight: Get Pregnant

    RAVEN The chamber was silent. Lord Arden unrolled a separate ledger, looking down at us. "The Council proposes a three-fold punishment, Your Majesty," Arden declared, his voice echoing across the hall. "First, the treaty with Dierna is nullified. Second, the conspirators—the father and siblings—will be executed by public hanging at dawn for forcing a male to masquerade as a royal bride." Danica let out a loud sob, her body shaking against the stone floor. Kaden and Ricky stared blankly at the ground. "And third," Arden continued, fixing his eyes on me, "the impostor, Raven, will have his mate bond forcibly severed by the high priests, and he will face execution for high treason." The chamber erupted into panicked whispers. My father’s head snapped up, his eyes locking onto me with desperate terror. He tried to scramble toward my robes, but a guard slammed the butt of a spear into his back, forcing him down. My father groaned, his face pressed against the stone. "Raven, please!

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Sixty Seven: High Treason

    RAVEN I stared down, my breath trapped in my throat. What am I doing? I was kneeling on a stone floor about to give him the exact same pleasure the wolf had given me, while the Council waited to ruin us downstairs. "Raven," Eilis whispered, his voice strained. "If you want to stop, stop. Right now. I won't be angry." I looked up. His jaw was clenched and his golden eyes were dark with desperation. He wanted this badly, yet he was still giving me an exit. The shyness didn't go away, but the warmth through our link drowned out the panic. I didn't want to stop. "I'm not stopping," I said, my voice shaking but certain. My fingers shook as I hooked the edge of his underwear and pulled it down. When he snapped free, thick and pulsing, another gasp left my mouth. The sheer size of him was intimidating. My face burned as I stared at the heavy length of him. Eilis let out a sharp breath, his fingers digging into the mattress behind him. He threw his head back, forcing himself to stay

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Sixty Six: A really Bad Idea

    RAVEN “Why were you with Mirabel?” Eilis asked, his gaze unwavering. “She told me she knows about my mother.” “Your mother?” “I never knew my mom. I've been starved of her memory, so it was a logical way to get me to follow her. She knew I'd do almost anything to know about her.” “From your memories I got that you weren't completely related to your siblings, but I never knew that,” Eilis said. “You could have just told me to help you find out about her.” “Well, that's the thing. I don't know her name or anything about her. But at least I got something out of following Mirabel. Where's the pendant?” “It's in the drawer. I took it from you when you were being treated.” I stepped past him, ignoring the tug in my shoulder, and opened the drawer. The silver pendant sat inside. My fingers closed tightly around it before I tucked it securely away. Calani arrived a moment later, breathless, carrying the clothes Eilis had ordered. There were no more plain dresses. Instead, she laid

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Sixty Five: Should We Seperate?

    RAVEN "Denis," I said, my voice steadying as I looked up at him. "Call him in." Denis paused, his fingers still holding the edge of the heavy furs. He looked at me, his eyes searching my face, trying to see if I was sure. "Raven, he’s been out there for hours. Are you certain?" "Yes," I whispered. "I need to speak with him before whatever is going to happen down there happens." Denis didn't argue. He walked to the heavy door, slid the iron bolt back, and pulled it open. I couldn't see into the hallway from where I lay, but I heard the faint murmur of Denis’s voice before he stepped completely out of the room, closing the door softly behind him to give us space. A second later, the door reopened. Eilis stepped inside. He looked completely unraveled. The dark tunic he wore was torn at the shoulder, smeared with dried mud and blood from the borderlands, and his bare feet left faint, dusty prints on the stone floor. He stopped just past the threshold, his broad shoulders tense, hi

  • Bride Of The Beast   Chapter Fifteen: Imprint Of The Wolf

    The transition was a violent, wet sound of shifting bone. Within seconds, the heavy weight of the wolf’s fur was gone, replaced by the slick, hot skin of a man.I breathed a sigh of relief, but then held my breath when he looked up and smiled. A sudden flash of the night he claimed me came to mind.

  • 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
