Mistake?

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 31.05.2026 19:03:20

A dangerous fantasy began to take root in the fertile soil of my loneliness. I would close my eyes and imagine returning to the mansion, not just as an assassin executing an order, but as a beloved sight. If I systematically rid the world of my family in my head because if I eliminated the cruel stepmother who sought to force him into a political marriage, and the half-sisters who wanted to steal his future, then the obstacles would vanish. Julianna and Clara would be gone and the Grayson all

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Poison

    "Where exactly did she hide all this time?" a venomous voice pierced the air. Lady Genevieve, my stepmother, hurried down the stairs, her skirts rustling aggressively. Her face was pale and her fingers clutching a lace handkerchief. "How did a stupid, useless girl survive a year in the wilderness while our trackers found nothing?"Silas bowed again. "She was delirious, my Lady. The fear of your wrath kept her running so she stayed in the freezing mountains where our normal patrols don't reach, eating raw moss and frozen rodents until her body collapsed by a stream. She was too weak to even fight back when I threw the irons on her.""A disgusting creature," Genevieve hissed, her eyes finally snapping to me, flashing with deeply rooted hatred. But then, a pained cough echoed from the mansion, and her panic returned tenfold. "There is no time for this useless talk! Julianna’s fever is spiking again and the healers say her blood is running dry.” She shouted, turning to her husband with wi

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Back home!

    Hmmm! So remember I said I didn't care about your opinion about me. But honestly, I'm a little self conscious and I do care. Seeing the life I had lived, do you really still blame me? I know my story is boring and you might not yet understand why I turned against Cade even though I claimed to love him with everything. And you might not understand my hate for Risa, but only if you lived my life would you really understand my thought process. "The trap is set, but the theater must be flawless," Silas said, pulling a rusted set of iron manacles from his drawer. The metal clanked sharply, with a sound that echoed against the cabin’s single window and door. "Your father has placed a very large bounty on your head of over five thousand and a large plot of land to any pack member or outer hunters who brings the bastard back alive and intact,” he winked at me. “So I am going to claim that coin so I wouldn't lose out at least."I stared at the heavy iron rings, my jaw tightening. "You're goi

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Vendetta!

    "What is this?" I croaked, my voice ruined from all the screaming earlier."Apply it to your face, your neck, and your hands every night before you go to bed," Silas said, his voice returning to its normal casual tone as he stood with his arms crossed. "It is an alchemical salve from the capital. Within three weeks, it will dissolve the calluses on your fingers, fade the raw scars on your cheeks, and restore the vital radiance to your skin. It will make you glow."I frowned, I was a bit confused now. Was he trying to make me feel better after literally torturing me? No, I doubt that this man would be that reasonable. I pushed myself up onto my elbows, staring at the jar as if it were a venomous snake. "Why would I want to glow? Didn't you say that I was an assassin. You told me I need to be a weapon for the true bloods. So why do I need to look beautiful?" My brows creased. Silas leaned down, and I could see the twisted curve of his lip as he looked down at me. "Because your traini

    I pulled open the wooden latch of the door, but I waited a bit before entering because of the dread I was feeling. From my calculations, Silas shouldn't even be back from his shift by now, so as long as I stay still before he returns, he won't realise a thing.“Okay Zara, act cool.” I told myself.I mustered up the courage and pushed the door open, but when I stepped inside the air inside the room was reeking of burned sage and the bitter smell of a freshly sliced nightshade root. I froze on the spot as I saw Silas was sitting at the wooden table and he had that look in his face as he was simply sitting there in the dim light, his large, scarred hands folded neatly over the surface of the wood, his eyes fixed directly on the open doorway where I had just walked in from. The double batch of nightshade root lay completely untouched in the stone mortar and I swallowed hard because I knew I was about to receive a beating, or worse, he'd torture me using that parasite in my body and I wa

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    I can't stay!

    As he saw my expression, his suspicion were confirmed too that they were lying. “Your father even confirmed it.”I seethed, my jaw clenching so hard I could hear the grinding of my teeth. They had painting me as a cowardly thief who ran away from her own family and had protected their golden reputation while ensuring that the only person who ever cared for me would think I had abandoned him without a word. My stepmother’s cruel, smiling face flashed in my mind, and the urge to rip her throat out with my bare teeth became an intoxicating, physical demand that I couldn't refuse any longer. I'll kill every single one of them. "Zara? How are you? Where are you living?" Cade urged, his voice breaking through the dark fog of my thoughts. He scanned my tattered cloak, his eyes fixing on the faint, dark stain of old blood near my shoulder. "Look at you... you're freezing and you're so thin.” I could hear the sorrow in his voice. “Tell me who did this to you." He demanded. I looked at his

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Him...just seeing him.

    It was drizzling already as the mud sucked at my bare feet, threatening to pull me down with every desperate stride I took, but at the back of my mind, I knew I couldn't be caught. I tore through the thick undergrowth of the outer woods, my breath coming out choked in my throat like dry autumn leaves. Behind me, the heavy thud of boots shattered the peace of the forest, accompanied by the fierce shouts of the estate guards."The intruder went toward the southern ridge! Don't let them reach the tree line!"“Oh my goodness,” my heart was panting. Jeez, they were really fast and obviously set to catch up with me. Luckily they weren't shooting yet maybe because they could tell I was a girl. “She's fast,” one shouted as the rain began to fall heavier making my steps slippery. "Unleash the hounds if you have to!" Another yelled and my panic increased. Why did I even come here. Now I'm regretting it very much.I lunged over a fallen birch trunk, my foot slipping on the wet moss. I tumbled
