Bride Of The Beast Chapter Ninety: My Life
RAVENMy bare feet slapped against the stone floor of the hallway.I didn't look back. I could hear the furious thud of his footsteps behind me."Raven!" his voice boomed. It made me stumble, but I immediately righted myself and kept moving.Servants carrying laundry baskets and silver trays froze in their tracks, pressing themselves against the walls. Visiting nobles, dressed in their morning finery, turned around in shock. At first, a few of them smirked, assuming it was just another twisted game—a naked, feral prince pursuing his mate.But as the Wolf barreled past them, their smirks completely vanished.Their eyes widened in horror. The posture was all wrong. The way he carried his body, the raw, animalistic snarl tearing from his throat, and the unhinged, golden glare had nothing to do with the poised Crown Prince they knew.This wasn't a lover's chase. It was a predator hunting down prey to slaughter it.The servants shrank back, some dropping their trays in terror as the Wolf
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Eighty Nine: Deceit
RAVENThe room fell dead silent. The weight of the Wolf’s threat pressed down on my chest.I sat completely frozen, my knees still tucked tightly against my chest, staring at the exact spot on my stomach where his calloused palm had just been resting.He’s going to kill it.I couldn't let him do that. Our sacrifices would mean nothing, we'd just be back to square one. I was going to protect it, even if it meant running. Even if it cost me my life.But looking at the massive frame of the man standing at the edge of the bed, the reality of my situation hit me. The door was too far away. He was too fast, too strong, and entirely too alert. If I made a blind dash for the handle right now, he would have me pinned to the floorboards before I could even take three steps.I couldn't outrun him in a straight line. I needed him completely off balance.I twisted my lips as an idea started to form.The Wolf loved to take me. Every single time he emerged and forced Eilís back, that raw, dominant
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Eighty Eight: Your Aren't A Woman
(CW): This chapter contains graphic descriptions of childbirth trauma/medical horror, and threats of forced termination. Reader discretion is advised. RAVEN The wood of the wardrobe bit into my back, but I barely felt it over the heat of his body crowding me. I stared up into those blown-out, gold eyes and froze. My tongue felt glued to the roof of my mouth. "I asked you a question," the Wolf growled. His grip tightened until my shoulder bones ached. He leaned in so close his nose brushed mine, his teeth bared. "Answer me, or I will tear this room apart with you in it. I don't have Eilis’s patience, Raven. Speak." The volatility in his voice snapped my paralysis. He had no restraint. Unlike Eilís, who always pulled back, the Wolf could break my bones just to prove a point. Terror spiked hot and sharp in my chest, and the truth spilled out before I could stop it. "Luna appeared!" I blurted out, my voice cracking. "The goddess. She appeared during the ritual!" His jaw locked
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Eighty Seven: The Wolf
RAVENThe walk to the guard captain's quarters was a total waste of time. When Eilís checked the ledgers, everything looked perfect. The names were there, the shifts matched up, and nobody had seen a thing.Whoever went down to see Mirabel hadn't used the main doors.Before Eilís could lose his temper at the captain, a page hurried into the room with a message.The King wanted to see me."He’s not seeing Raven alone," Eilís snapped, grabbing my elbow before the page could even finish talking. "Whatever my father has to say, he says it to both of us."The page didn't dare argue. He just nodded quickly and led us straight to the royal chambers.When we walked in, my chest tightened.The King was sitting at his desk, but something was completely wrong. Right across his cheek, the mark from the goddess’s slap was still there. It looked raw and angry, a deep burn that his werewolf healing hadn't even touched.I stared at it, completely thrown off. The ritual happened days ago. Why wasn't
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Eighty Six: Hope
RAVEN The iron door groaned shut behind us, cutting off the sound of Mirabel’s muffled sobs. Eilís walked beside me, his stride long and agitated. His jaw was clenched so tightly a muscle ticked in his cheek, his fingers resting heavily on the pommel of his sword. "What do we do if the physician finds nothing?" I asked, keeping my voice low so the guards at the end of the hall wouldn’t overhear. "What if her mind is just... blank?" "Then someone went to great lengths to wipe her clean," Eilís ground out, not breaking his pace. "I don't think Mirabel could do this to herself. She doesn't have the kind of power required to tear apart her own memories without leaving a trace. Yesterday, she was a liability to whoever she was working with. Today, she’s completely useless to us." He stopped at the base of the spiral stone staircase that led back up to the palace sectors, turning to face me fully. His dark eyes narrowed in deep frustration. "The timing is what's bothering me," he mutt
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Eighty Five: Memory Loss
RAVEN The heat flared up a few more times over the next few hours, dragging us back into it until my body completely gave out. When the darkness finally claimed me, I slept heavily. When I woke up, the morning light was cutting through the drapes. My body felt sore and the fever in my blood was gone. Eilís was already awake, sitting on the side of the bed with his trousers on. "How are you feeling?” He asked. “Like my ass is on fire.” He chuckled. “Time to get up," he said, not looking back at me. "You need to come with me to the dungeons. We're going to see Mirabel." I bolted upright, completely ignoring the ache in my limbs. "Mirabel? You captured her? You never mentioned anything about having her here!" Eilís stood up and reached for his tunic. "We grabbed her yesterday." "Why didn't you tell me?" He pulled the fabric down over his chest and shrugged. "It skipped my mind." Before I could say anything else, Calani stepped into the chamber with a fresh set of clothes. My f
Bride Of The Beast Chapter Fourteen: The Hunt Begins
I was standing beside the pack. They were frantic, pulling at their clothes in excitement for the hunt. How many of them wanted me dead? How many didn't care if I survived or not?I hit my lip when I saw Eilis held down beside the king. His wolf was just as ferocious as it had been at the wedding.I
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
