MATED TO MY BROTHER'S ENEMY Chapter 26
The Evil Atrocity Was RevealedWith his fingers on the cold chill of the stone rim, Marcus clung to the doorframe of the deserted tower. Dawn light poured over the countryside, tinting the heavens a crimson gold. Lyra could feel the storm brewing in his mind with their completed mate bond; the memories he had kept for so long erupting like venom from an open wound."Tell me," she gasped, then hurried to stand next to his side.Marcus's face turned. "You don't have to listen. "Lyra slipped her hand into his and fixed her own over it on the windowsill, saying, "I want to hear it all. " Marcus, we are connected now. Regardless of whether you share them with me or not, your recollections are mine; your pain is mine.She felt his defenses break apart with her connection. Honesty was called for in their relationship, not just the basic facts but also the unpleasant secrets that shaped their character.Closing his eyes, Marcus started to see Lyra via his memories.It all started when Prince

Intimacy between Marcus and Princess LyraDust and ancient years' odour weighted down the vacant tower chamber. As Lyra stood and waited, moonlight seeped through shattered shutters and threw silver patterns on the stone floor. Her heart thudded against her ribcage as the footsteps came towards the little stairs behind.Marcus stood in the doorway, his face serious but his eyes blazing in the faint illumination. Rising from the Great Hall, his doublet was yet fastened to his appropriate clothes. Their relationship pulsed more strongly now that she had expressed her remarks openly a few hours before.He told her, "You're insane," but his tone was more of awe than of rage."Happily. " Lyra strode toward him, her bare feet silent on the cold stones. Do you regret it?Marcus grasped her hands as she stretched them in front of him, his fingers interlaced with hers. "How could I regret the most beautiful moment of my life? "Their relationship caught fire when they touched. Lyra could sense

Lyra's RebellionTense expectancy permeated the Great Hall as the lords and ladies seated themselves at the lengthy tables. With her shoulders as hard as rock, Lyra settled one of the high table chairs next to her father. The official banquet had been called to discuss "matters of succession and alliance", code words that knotted her stomach.From his chair, Lord Harwick raised his wine cup. He was a thick guy with thinning hair and delicate fingers that had never touched a sword's hilt. His eyes consumed Lyra with the hungry expression of a merchant checking prized items.Harwick started, his voice echoing down the hallway, "Your Majesty, my country grows the best grain in the northern regions, and my funds might support this conflict for years to come.King Aldwin grinned warmly. "Your loyalty is recognized, Lord Harwick. "Harwick's gaze met Lyra's: "I give marriage to your daughter, a union that would provide bread for your armies and gold for your coffers. "Murmurs ran across th

Suspicion in the packageMarcus sneered at the practice dummy, his sword hanging loosely in his grasp. As he tried to concentrate on the drill Captain Willem had given him, the straw man's painted face grinned back at him with a growl. His pack, five knights who had traveled out of the Northern peaks with him, honed their daily drill with wooden swords that clicked into leather shields."Marcus! " The voice of Sir Lucas snapped him from his trance. "Your guard is down. "Marcus looked up to see his lieutenant approaching him; a wrinkle deepened his furrowed brow. Having ridden for Marcus's father previously, the aged knight vowed his loyalty to the son, and his senses were akin to those of an animal."Just lost in thought on strategy," Marcus said to him, still wielding his sword's guard.Lucas said softly, "Defense strategy that makes you forget the basics? "You've been distant for the last couple of days. Distracted. The men are starting to worry. "Marcus examined the training yard

Brother's CrueltyLike the whimpers of tortured creatures on the night breeze, the cries were heard echoing in the enemy camp. As waves of anguish poured over her sympathetic arteries, Lyra hid her face in her bedroom windowpane, and her trembling hand reached for a grip. Someone wounded in Kael's camp felt such great agony that it traversed her whole way.Mira exited with cautious steps. "My lady? Should I call for the healers? "Lyra gasped, "No. "This is not my pain. "Another shriek cut through the darkness. Lyra could sense the victim's fear—their fear that death would not be far off, using her ability. But under the surface pain, she sensed knowledge ripped from an unwanted mind.The inmate sensed something Kael wanted.Lyra grabbed her coat and ran for the doorway."Where are you, my lady? "Looking for Marcus.You could most readily peer into the enemy camp from the eastern castle wall. Marcus was already at the wall when Lyra approached, his hands clenched tightly on the ston

Meetings SecretForgotten years' fragrance spidered across the wine cellar. With her back erect, Lyra stood flat against the stone wall as the echo of footsteps up in the hallway died. Two guards passed by, their voices vanishing off into the distance. She waited another minute before lighting the little candle she had brought; its flickering flame cast swirling shadows among rows of empty wine racks.Marcus emerged from behind an enormous oak barrel, his black clothes disappearing with the darkness. They had fallen into a pattern of secret meetings. It was the third night they had met following their talk on the tower. The clocks had always rung at midnight. Constantly in locales where inquisitive slaves would not stumble upon them.Lyra asked, her voice barely a whisper, "Any word from your informants? "Marcus shook his head, pulling a rolled scroll from his waist. "Kael moved his command tent. Here. " He unrolled the map across a dusty crate, his finger following a freshly inked ma
