Corinne’s remaining sons ran — dragging wives, clutching crying infants, stumbling through the brush. Every few steps they looked over their shoulders as if expecting the darkness to grow fangs.

It did.

Damian tore through the trees, not bothering with stealth. He wanted them to hear him coming. Wanted the fear to rot them from the inside out before he ever laid a hand on them.

A second son tried to fight, ramming a spear toward Damian’s ribs.

Damian caught it with one hand.

Snapped it.

    The days that followed were a blur of exhaustion and small victories.Nathan threw himself into the work with a focus that surprised even himself. He was there at dawn, helping unload supply carts. He was there at midday, listening to complaints and settling disputes. He was there at dusk, his hands blistered and his back aching, doing whatever needed to be done.The villagers watched.At first, they kept their distance. Suspicious. Waiting for the mask to slip, for the true colors to show.But Nathan kept showing up.Day after day.Doing the work.Not asking for thanks. Not demanding gratitude. Just... being there.Day Three

    The journey south was long, cold, and utterly miserable.Nathan had known it would be. He'd prepared for it. Wrapped himself in layers, braced himself against the wind, reminded himself that every frozen mile brought him closer to his goal.None of that made the actual experience any more pleasant.The roads were treacherous, half-hidden beneath snow that seemed determined to erase all evidence of civilization. The horses struggled. The guards took turns breaking trail, their faces numb with cold. Even the advisors who had traveled the kingdom top to bottom—huddled in their saddles and muttered prayers to gods they weren't sure they believed in.Nathan said nothing.Just rode.And thought.

    Nathan stood slowly, his body protesting the hours of sitting in the same position. The council chamber felt suddenly too quiet, too still—the weight of decisions pressing down on him in a way that paperwork never could."I should go see Damian," he said quietly.Lucian looked up from the stack of documents he'd been organizing. "Now?""Now." Nathan moved toward the door. "He needs to know what we're planning. WhatI'mplanning. I can't just... disappear south without telling him."Lucian nodded slowly. "He won't like it.""Probably not.""He'll argue.""Almost certainly.""He might forbid it."

    Lucian stayed where he was.Leaning against the wall, arms crossed, watching the closed door as if it might somehow explain the chaos happening behind it. He didn't move. Didn't speak. Just... waited. Because that was what he did. He waited for the pieces to stop falling so he could start putting them back together.Inside, Damian had broken in a way he didn't even know he was capable of.Not the explosive, destructive breaking of his feral rage. Not the cold, controlled shattering of grief. Something quieter. Deeper. The kind of break that happened at the very foundation of a person—the part that held everything else together.Rowan held him.Tightly. Fiercely. Damian's face pressed against his chest, Rowan's arms wrapped around him like he c

    Damian's breathing became a battle.Each inhale scraped. Each exhale shuddered. His chest heaved, but no air seemed to reach him—just the burning, suffocating weight of everything he'd just learned.Rowan moved first.He shoved Ezekiel away from Damian. Not hard—just enough to break contact. Enough to stop the flow of memories pouring into Damian's mind."Enough," Rowan said.Nathan looked at Ezekiel, his red eyes sharp with warning. "Enough already."Ezekiel didn't fight. Didn't protest. He simply sat where Rowan had pushed him, his hollow eyes fixed on Damian."It was he who wanted answers," Ezekiel said quietly. "Now he must brace himself."

    Damian rose from his chair.The movement was slow, deliberate—the kind of motion that said he had made a decision and nothing in the world would change it.He turned to face Ezekiel."Why would you stop them?" His voice was quiet, but it filled the room.Ezekiel met his gaze. There was no mockery in his eyes now, no theatrical glitter. Just exhaustion and something that looked almost like pity."Because all of you are making the situation worse."Damian's jaw tightened. "How?"Ezekiel was silent for a moment.Then he lifted his hands, palms up, an offering and a warning."I can show

    He found Silas in the barracks courtyard, tightening the bridle on his horse. The man was alone—his soldiers had already dispersed after drills.“Sir Kane,” Lucian called, voice smooth, carrying just enough authority to make Silas’s hand pause mid-motion.“Lord Commander,” Silas replied without loo

    Lucian’s suspicion had been a quiet, crawling thing at first—something he brushed off as paranoia born from sleepless nights and too many whispered councils. But the more he watched Nathan and Silas, the harder it became to ignore. The way Silas lingered in the study longer than necessary after del

  • Chains Of The Heart   Chapter 16

    Damian didn’t know what he expected—maybe another sneer, maybe silence—but not that. Nathan’s smile landed like a blow. Not warm, not open, but real, and that made it worse. Easy to read and honest with themselves. The words worked on him like a quiet indictment. Once, Damian had been exactly that.

    Later when Damian returned.He didn’t knock—just opened the door and stepped inside like he owned the air Nathan was breathing.“Follow me.”No explanation. No visible anger. Just that voice—stripped of pretense, heavy with something Nathan couldn’t read fast enough to brace against. Nathan rose wi
