I turned to head inside, desperate to scrub the feel of Cade's touch from my skin, but his voice caught me, low and gravelly with a paranoia he couldn't seem to shake.

"It doesn't make sense, Risa," he muttered, pacing a short line on the gravel. "A King wouldn't just survey the North for the fresh air. I had my best trackers on him the entire time. I expected him to scout the border, to look for weaknesses in our fortifications, maybe even visit the silver mines. If he wanted to seize this pac

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Moon goddess's light!

    ~ Risa's POV ~Everything seemed like a blur of colors that didn’t make sense anymore. The vibrant green of the rosebushes, the deep charcoal of Kael’s coat, the bruised purple of Elara’s face…it all swirled together into a sickening mixture of events and colours happening all at once. I was suddenly hyper-aware of everything around, the crunch of the gravel under the guards' retreating boots, the frantic beat of Kael’s heart against my ear, and the terrifying, hollow space in my own chest where that voice had just come from.I didn't understand. I had just wanted the noise to stop. I had wanted the cruelty, the malice, and the oily sensation of Elara’s jealousy to leave my skin. I had snapped, and in that moment of fracture, something ancient had reached out through my throat and rewritten the world."I’m sorry," I whispered, my voice sounding small and fragile now, a pathetic echo of the roar from moments ago. "Kael, I’m so sorry.""Shh, Risa. Don't speak …Just…just breathe," Kael

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Her powers!

    I reached the Rose Garden just as the voices drifted over the manicured hedges, high, shrill, and dripping with the kind of cruelty that only the bored nobility could muster."It’s a shame, really," I heard Lady Elara say. I have never liked this woman since day one. She was the daughter of a high council Duke, a woman who had spent years angling for a position in my court. Her voice was a cruel titter. "To be a Queen in name, but a curse in reality. They say the King can’t even touch you without being burned. Is that why you sneak around the library like a common thief, Risa? Looking for a way to trick him into staying? Or perhaps a way to fake a mark you’ll never earn?" She sneered.I stopped at the edge of the path, my blood boiling. Risa was standing in the center of the gravel walk, her back to me. Her shoulders were shaking, her hands clenched at her sides. I could feel her empathy bleeding into the air, she was feeling Elara’s petty jealousy and the spite of her friends as if

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Greed!

    ~ Kael’s POV ~I already had so much on my mind. Considering how restless Risa had been, how could I not be worried too. But she said everything was fine. She was obviously lying but how could I force the truth out of her if she doesn't even tell Axel?Even with everything happening, these old demons still found a way to force me to appear before them. I stood in the center of the High Council’s meeting hall, the air stiff and full of fear. They sat in their semi-circle, their faces hard but I could still feel the waves of tension coming off of them. They had the map of the realm projected on the screen and on their tabs too.Northern borders were highlighted in bright red colour, because obviously, all they ever talked about since I brought Risa here, was the north."The Grayson pack is in total disarray, Sire," one began. He was the eldest among them, he refused to meet my eyes, his gaze fixed intently on a readout in front of him. Even from across the room, I could hear his puls

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Utterly Mad!

    ~ Cade's POV ~It felt like the walls were breathing. The hot air fanning on my skin.It wasn't a trick of the light or the slow rot of my mind but I could really see the stone blocks of the Void Cell expanding and contracting like the lungs of a dying beast. Every time the shadows shifted, they felt like oily fingers brushing against the back of my neck. I huddled in the far corner, the cold from the floor seeping into my bones, but I barely felt it. I was clawing at the stone, my fingers digging into the microscopic fissures until my nails cracked and bled, leaving dark streaks against the gray."Zara..." I wheezed, the name sounding like a dry leaf rattling in a storm. "Zara, please. The medicine. Just... just one drop."The silence in the Cell wasn't empty of course. It was like a cruel joke told by the gods to mock my suffering. I felt the crushing silence that made my eardrums throb. In the North, there were always sounds, the howling wind, the rustle of the pines, the rhythmic

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    New powers!

    ~ Risa's POV ~I might have pretended to fall asleep as Kael laid beside me again, but in truth, I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about what I had read and I couldn't help but feel afraid. Was my fate really doomed? Was love really not for someone like me? Was that why....oh goddess! This was too much for me to handle. Why did I get such a cursed fate? Was I owing a blood debt in a past life to be rewarded like this as if my karma was only bad luck?I couldn't just accept it. I had to change my fate, and that of Kael, but how? That was the real question. I had no idea what I was supposed to do.The morning sun bled through the window, but it brought no warmth to my already dark soul. My eyes were heavy due to lack of sleep and my head was aching terribly.I sat at the edge of the bed, watching Kael sleep peacefully. Without him having to run around all day as the sire of the realm, he looked…. almost human. A beautiful man that has been watching me, protecting me in my lowest and

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Is this goodbye?

    ~ Kael's POV ~I woke up to the sound of a heartbeat that wasn't mine.I knew the sound of Risa's heartbeat and I could feel it anywhere, but this…this one wasn't that of the woman I loved.This was different. It was a frantic, echoing thrum, vibrating through the very floorboards of the room where I slept. I sat up in the heavy darkness, my hand instinctively sweeping across the sheets to where Risa should have been.But the bed was cold and empty."Risa?" I called out, my voice sounding hollow but I was met with silence. Not the peaceful silence of a sleeping palace, but a vacuum of sound that made the hair on my arms stand up. I got up immediately from the bed. I checked the bathroom, the water-marbled tile reflecting nothing but shadow. I checked the sitting room, but it was empty too. All the rooms were empty.My chest tightened as I couldn't think of where she would possibly be at this time.“The true bloods!” I growled. But it wasn't possible that they had gotten to her while
