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

~ 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

As I stared at the pages, the ink on the page didn’t look like ink anymore, but it changed to something I couldn't quite explain. Under the pulsing silver light of my skin, the jagged letters seemed to squirm like dying insects, etching themselves directly into my retinas and it burned. My heart hammered a frantic, hollow rhythm as I forced my eyes to follow the cramped, ancient script. It was painful, but I couldn't force myself to look away. The words started moving and I could read it all at once. -The Speaker is not born of man’s desire, but of the Goddess’s necessity-The first line read and I gasped.-From the first breath, the essence of the Eternal Flame is woven into the marrow--They are the chosen vessels, the living conduits of a power that predates the stars. But a vessel that holds the sun cannot hold the hand of a mortal-A cold sweat broke out across my forehead and my throat was dry but I still couldn't force myself to look away from the words. I turned the page, th
His Regret, The Crown's Claim The truth!
The flight back to the palace was a descent into a different kind of darkness. Outside the reinforced glass of the royal transport, the Northern lands blurred into a smear of desolate white, but inside, the silence was heavy enough to choke. Kael sat across from me, his face full of unsaid words and exhaustion. He hadn't let go of my hand since we left the prison, but his grip was different now. He was holding on to me as if I was going to run away from him. I held him back, to reassure him that I was going to be here. I already promised so I was going to do everything to keep my words.I stared at my reflection in the window. The silver light beneath my skin was quiet now, a dormant ember, but Zara’s words were a relentless loop in my brain. “You are utterly pitiful. Fire always ends in ash.” I shut my eyes tightly as I tried to breathe."Kael," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the hum of the engines.He looked up instantly, his blue eyes searching mine for any sign of dis
His Regret, The Crown's Claim What you are!
~ Risa's POV ~Seeing Cade in that state really made me feel sad.He was such a strong man in the past. A man that I had loved with all of my heart, but now he's been reduced to nothing.I knew the gravity of his offense, but if I could, I wouldn't want him to be killed.He has indeed committed treason, but couldn't he be spared? A punishment should suffice. But then again, people had died. Even if he was just a tool, his involvement has caused the life of many.Luckily, Kael had understood my heart and said he'd stand trial. Hearing him scream as a broken man now was painful to watch, so I turned away as I headed out with Kael, but then I saw the one woman I hated with everything in me. Zara. If anyone deserved death, it should be her.Zara looked like a ghost herself. The polished, predatory woman who had stood in the Conservatory was gone. In her place was a woman who had realized the exit was blocked and the building was on fire.She didn't try to run but she stood with her hands
