MARCUS’S POV

I don’t plan it.

That’s the truth I tell myself.

Like it just… happens.

Like I didn’t spend half the evening watching the corridors, waiting for the right moment. Like I didn’t listen for Seraphine’s footsteps fading into the upper wing before I moved. Like I didn’t already know exactly where to look.

But the moment I find the schedule, folded neatly on the edge of a servant’s station, I know that’s a lie.

I’ve been looking for it.

For her.

For any way to make this thing happening

  • His Mate, His Enemy   Chapter 124

    MARCUS’S POVI shouldn’t be here.That’s the first thought running through my head as I move through the lower corridors, keeping to the shadows, counting every step like it might be the one that gives me away.This might be a mistake.A dangerous one.But that hasn’t stopped me before.Not when it comes to her.The meeting wasn’t planned. No written note or spoken agreement anyone could overhear. Just a look earlier that day, A pause when our paths crossed. A slight tilt of her head toward the west wing.Midnight.Storage level.It was reckless.I reach the old cellar door and pause, listening.Nothing.No footsteps or voices.Good.I push the door open slowly, slipping inside before it can creak too loudly behind me. The space is dark, colder than the corridors above, the air thick with dust and the faint scent of damp wood.“Mara?” I whisper.A beat of silence.“I’m here.”Her voice is soft, barely more than breath, coming from somewhere to my left.I move toward it carefully, hand

Ink scratched across it in sharp, precise lines.Mara’s name sits at the top.My jaw tightens.Every hour is accounted for.Corridor cleaning in the lower wing, storage maintenance of the upper stairwell and Kitchen overflow.No breaks and no meals.Just relentless work.My hand curls slightly around the edge of the parchment.“She’s going to kill her,” I mutter under my breath.I fold the sc

  • His Mate, His Enemy   Chapter 122

    LADY SERAPHINE POVPower and authority can not be proven through kindness. It is proven through obedience and obedience is never clearer than when it is forced.Mara is the perfect person to begin with.Because she mattered to Saphra. Because breaking her sends a message that echoes far beyond one girl’s suffering.I stand at the center of the servants’ hall, hands clasped loosely behind my back as they gather before me. The room smells faintly of soap and stone, of bodies that have worked too hard and slept too little. They line up quickly when summoned, heads bowed with shoulders tight.Fear hums beneath the surface.Mara stands among them.Her chin is slightly raised not enough to be called defiance, but enough that I notice. Her eyes don’t quite meet mine, but they don’t drop fast enough either.Ah.There it is.Loyalty.Misplaced and entirely unacceptable.I let the silence stretch just long enough to make them uncomfortable.“You, step forward,” I say.My voice is calm.Mara do

  • His Mate, His Enemy   Chapter 121

    LUCIEN’S POV I am starting to lose control.“Find her.”My voice echoes through the war chamber, low and lethal, cutting through the heavy silence like a blade. The men standing before me don’t move yet.“Search every border,” I continue, pacing slowly across the stone floor. “Every village. Every forest. I don’t care how far you have to go.”My hands curl into fists at my sides, the skin along my knuckles still split from the destruction of the tower. Blood has dried there in dark streaks, cracked and reopened more times than I can count.I don’t bother to clean it.“Bring her back,” I finish, my voice dropping. “Immediately.”A pause.No one speaks.I stop in front of the closest group, three guards chosen because they are fast and loyal.“Do you understand?” I ask.“Yes, Alpha,” they answer in unison, though I can hear the edge beneath their voices.“Now go,” I say.They turn and leave immediately, boots striking the floor in hurried rhythm as they disappear from the chamber.The

  • His Mate, His Enemy   Chapter 120

    LUCIEN’S POVSomething is wrong. The thought doesn’t come gently, it tears through me.I wake with a gasp, my body jerking upright before my mind can catch up. Sweat clings to my skin, my chest heaving as if I’ve just run for miles.My hand presses against my chest instinctively.There, that’s where it is. That sharp, hollow pain that wasn’t there before. My breathing turns uneven.The bond It feels..... Wrong.Not broken but stretched.“Saphra.”Her name leaves my lips before I can stop it.I’m already moving.The door slams open so hard it cracks against the wall, splintering wood and echoing down the corridor. I barely register it.Nothing matters except, Her.Find her, now.The hallway blurs as I run.Servants jump out of my way, startled, terrified. I hear voices and shouts but they’re distant, meaningless noise.“Sire!”“Alpha!”Ignored, all of it.My feet hit the stone hard and fast, each step driven by something deeper than thought.The bond pulses again.Empty.I reach the to

  • His Mate, His Enemy   Chapter 119

    LADY SERAPHINE POV“Another time my lady,” he says smoothly as we walk the eastern corridor, his voice calm and controlled. “The palace is still recovering. There are areas that....”“I want to see everything,” I interrupt lightly, my tone pleasant enough to pass as curiosity.His jaw tightens slightly.“The main halls, the council chambers, the outer grounds....” he continues, as if I hadn’t spoken.“I said everything,” I repeat, turning my head just enough to meet his gaze, smile intact and eyes sharp.There's a pause, a silent standoff.“As you wish,” he says finally.Wonderful.The tour begins properly after that. He shows me what he wants me to see first. The grand halls, the throne room,the council chamber. All polished stone and carefully maintained illusions of control but I’m not here for illusions.Still, I let him lead for now.Until....“And the servants’ quarters?” I ask casually as we pass another guarded wing.He hesitates.“They are… modest,” he says. “Not particularly

    SAPHRA'S POV The next day, Lucien arrives just before sunset. I know it’s him before the door opens. The bond gives him away.It always does.A quiet shift beneath my ribs.

    LUCIEN’S POV Food tastes like ash. It doesn’t matter what the kitchen sends up—roasted stag, fresh bread, berries soaked in honey. The moment it touches my tongue, it turns dry and flavourless, like I’m chewing dust scraped from the hearth. I force it down anyway. I sit at the head of the long
