IN BED WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS SURROGATE CHAPTER 69: INTERRUPTION
KATHLEENI scrubbed harder, until the iron rasped and my knuckles split.I was carrying the heaviest pot toward the washbasin, my arms trembling, when my foot came down on something slick.The floor flew out from under me.I hit the floor with a crack that rattled my teeth. The pot rang away across the floor, clanging, spinning, and a bolt of white pain shot up my hip and into my spine. For a moment I could not breathe. The whole room had gone silent.Then someone started to laugh.I lay there, gasping, and turned my head. The floor beside my hand gleamed. Not water. It was Oil, a wide golden sheen of it, spread across the floor exactly where I had to walk. The smell rose, thick and greasy. And a few feet away stood Bree, an empty bottle half hidden in the folds of her apron, her fingers shining, her mouth curled in a smirk she did not even try to hide.Something inside me snapped.I pushed myself up, wincing, my palms slipping on the oil, and I did not look at the floor or the po
IN BED WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS SURROGATE CHAPTER 68: MOCKERY
KATHLEENAt the near hearth, two broad women stood over a pot of soup, ladles in hand, watching me with open contempt, as though I had tracked mud across their clean floor. At a long table, an older woman with kind, tired eyes was braiding dough, and when I met her gaze she gave me the smallest nod, and then, quickly, looked away. Two girls peeling vegetables at the far end bent their heads together, gossiping."That is her," one of them said, not bothering to lower her voice. "The surrogate.""The King's bed-warmer," the other said, and the whole table laughed.Heat crawled up my neck. I kept my face blank as I refused to let their words to me.I turned to my side to see a girl with freckles and a round, open face glanced at me, and then at the others, and gave me a small, uncertain smile.That smile somehow warmed my heart, at least there is someone who isn’t looking at me with so much hate.However, one thought slipped in uninvited.. ‘what will the King do if he finds out I work
IN BED WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS SURROGATE CHAPTER 67: THE QUEEN'S TERMS
KATHLEENBy the time the clouds turned bright, I had made up my mind about one thing.Whatever this day held, I would get through it quietly. Head down, mouth shut, eyes on the floor. I had survived Casper and Bloodcast and the council hall. I could survive a palace that wanted me gone, as long as I gave it nothing to hold against me.I washed my face, pressed a damp cloth to my split lip. Now I wished I had a wolf, I could’ve just healed on my own. Someone knocked, three soft taps."My lady? It is only me."Sheba entered, as she took one look at me and her eyes went from my swollen cheekbone."Goddess." She shut the door behind her and lowered her voice.She hadn’t been in this room since last night. I assumed she was running an errand for the Queen. "I heard Marta in the laundry this morning. She said Ladies Amira and Elmira stopped you in the corridor. She said they tore your gown in front of the guards."My hands still, as I walked passed her to the mirror to fix my hair. I igno
IN BED WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS SURROGATE CHAPTER 66: THE PLAN
AURORA "She always had that look about her," Elmira said. "The look of a girl who means to take over the Queen's position. I said so the day she arrived."I turned that over.Elmira had said it from the first week. I had dismissed it then as her usual venom, the way she disliked every new face that came into the palace. But I thought now of Kathleen standing at his bedside with her hand in his, head lowered, not a flicker of triumph in her face. Not once had she looked at me with defiance. Not once had she asked for anything.And somehow that was the worst thing about her. The humbler she looked, the more dangerous she seemed. A girl who wanted nothing was a girl who had already been given everything."I tested him tonight." My fingers curled into the blanket. "I told him to let her go. I told him we could find another girl. Do you know what he said?" I turned to look at my sisters.They shook their heads.My voice shook. "He looked me in the face, in my own presence, and said he
IN BED WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS SURROGATE CHAPTER 65: WHAT I COULD NOT DO
AURORA The moment his arms lifted me, my stomach turned. I told myself it was nerves. I told myself it was only the shock of being held after so long. But the fur along his forearm brushed my wrist, coarse and warm, and the scent of him rolled over me, wild and heavy, nothing like the cedar and sweet mint I had once buried my face in. ‘Hold on,’ Aurora. You promised you would try.’ He laid me on the bed with a care that made my throat ache. His eyes searched mine, gold and hopeful, and I forced my mouth into something like a smile. The kiss had been brave. I had thought that if I could only get through the kiss, the rest would come. Then his hands went to the ties of my gown . Claws. Those were claws, curling at the edges of his fingertips, dark and curved and gentle only because he was holding them back. A cold shudder tore through me, and before I could stop it, my head was shaking. "No." My hands flew up and shoved at his. "No. Stop." He froze. I saw it happ

SABASTIN "I did not ask for this. The curse, the blood, her. None of it was my choosing. Casper did this to me, and I am only trying to survive it." I kept my voice low, the way you would speak to a wounded animal.Aurora refused to look at me."The more she is near me, the more the curse knows her. Perhaps that is why her blood heals me. It has grown used to her.""That is not an excuse, Seb." Her voice trembled, turning to face me with a tear filled gaze."No. But if you had not left me alone with it since the day you woke—"I stopped, too late. The words hung in the air.Her gaze snapped to me, her face going white, then red. "You are not blaming me." She shook her head in refusal. "Aurora——“ I tried to reach out to her."You are not blaming me." Her voice broke across the room. "I just woke from a coma, Sebastian. I opened my eyes, and everything I knew was gone, and you want to tell me this is because I was afraid?"I closed my eyes. Cruel. It had been so cruel. I had sat besid
