His Regret, The Crown's Claim Miss the old you!
I scoffed, the sound sharp and echoing against the high ceiling. I didn’t have the energy for this, not after Axel’s warmth that at least made me feel a bit better after all the sour mood I've been in since I returned. I moved to brush past him, my skirts swishing, but Cade’s hand clamped around my upper arm.I stopped dead, my spine stiffening. I didn't turn to look at him, but I felt the heat of his gaze."Risa," he growled, his voice low and vibrating with a warning. "Don't you dare walk away from me when I am speaking to you."He glanced pointedly at the two guards stationed by the heavy doors. They were standing like statues, but their ears were practically twitching. Cade leaned in, his breath hot against my ear, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper."You are undermining my authority in front of my own people," he hissed. "You treat me like a stranger in my own halls. What do you expect the pack to do? How can they respect an Alpha whose own Luna treats him with such blatan
His Regret, The Crown's Claim Best friend
"Enough with your stupid theories," I said, waving a hand to cut through the sudden silence he’d just created. "Stop speculating. You’re starting to sound like one of those tabloid bloggers. If Kael had truly found his mate, he’s the King so he has no reason to hide her. He could have anyone he wanted."Axel leaned back, a mischievous glint returning to his eyes. "I don’t know, Risa. Or maybe the ‘she' is a 'he'? Maybe the King is hiding a scandalous royal romance with a handsome duke from the Southern Isles. Who knows?" He shrugged with that mischievous grin still plastered on his face. I couldn't help it as a genuine laugh bubbled up in my chest, the first real one I’d felt in days. "Axel, be serious for once! But honestly? If that’s the case, it would be a hilarious royal scandal. Can you imagine the Elders faces when they find out the king is into men? Their traditionalist hearts would simply stop beating because of the shock." I took a sip of my tea, feeling a bit of the tension
His Regret, The Crown's Claim Familiarity
I sank into the armchair, the crimson silk of my dress rustling like dry leaves on my skin. Axel dropped into the chair opposite me, his long legs stretching out as he let out a low whistle."I have to say," he began, a lopsided grin tugging at the corner of his mouth, "I was really impressed out there by you. The old you would have spent twenty minutes apologizing for my rudeness just to keep him from scowling at dinner. Seeing you tell him you don't take orders? That was worth the ride over here. That's my girl right there." He winked teasingly as he nudged my shoulder. I let out a short snicker, staring into the steam rising from my cup. "The old me was clearly a fool. I was so busy trying to be the perfect Luna that I forgot I was born an Alpha’s daughter first. I spent five years shrinking myself so he could feel tall. I’m just... I’m done being small."Axel’s expression shifted, the teasing light in his eyes dying down into something more somber. He leaned forward, his elbows
His Regret, The Crown's Claim Choosing my own people now!
I was in my study, trying to focus on the grain distribution reports that had been submitted this morning, but the numbers blurred out of focus. My mind kept looping back to the feeling of Cade’s hand on my arm and the way he’d switched from a monster to a husband who seemed to be grieving in the blink of an eye. His behaviour was really strange, that I wonder what is wrong with him. He clearly doesn't care about me, but sometimes why do I feel that he actually does? Or maybe it's my mind messing with me again, hoping that somewhere in his heart I have a space. But is a little space really enough for me? I do not want the little minute affection, I want to be loved wholeheartedly the way I have loved.A sharp raised voice coming from outside broke my concentration and I snapped back to reality. It was the sound of a verbal warning being issued then there was another voice talking back. I recognized the measured voice immediately. It was definitely Axel's voice, and it seems Cade is
His Regret, The Crown's Claim Dissecting my life
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 pack by force, those are the moves he’d make."I stopped, my hand on the iron railing, and rolled my eyes. "And? What did your best trackers find?""Absolutely nothing," Cade snapped, his frustration boiling over. "He didn't leave the mansion walls. He spent his time in the library, the dining hall, and the guest wing. That’s what’s so damned suspicious. A demon like Kael wouldn't just sit idle. He was doing something right under our noses, something so secretive even my men couldn't detect his mo
His Regret, The Crown's Claim Promise
The morning air was unusually cold this morning. It seemed to seep through the heavy crimson silk of my dress and find its way all the way to my bones. I stood on the drive way, the rising sun casting pale shadows across the stone steps of the estate. My head throbbed painfully as I struggled to keep my posture upright but as I turned to the man standing beside me, it felt like my headache was only getting worse.Cade looked the part of the perfect Alpha this morning, he was clean shaven and dressed in his dark furs, his expression hard. But I could smell the lingering scent of stress and stale whiskey on him. My stomach twisted with revulsion from just standing here beside him and it felt like a betrayal of my own skin.Luckily, Zara wasn't here to piss me off the more. Whether she was truly unwell or Cade had finally realized that bringing her to a royal departure was a political suicide, I didn't care. I was just grateful I didn't have to school my face into neutrality for her bene
