~Bethany~

Pain is something my mortal body has been taught to appreciate, embrace, and never shy away from.

Growing up in Tophet, I was conditioned to have a high tolerance for it and learned it can be a great distraction. A tool.

Although right now, my world is nothing but pain, nothing but blazing agony flowing throughout my limbs and churning every thought in my head until I'm paralyzed.

Which is why, at first, I'm certain I'm imagining things when I hear voices shouting from some distant place.

"Bethany!"

"No!"

A frightening roar like that of a dragon is cut off suddenly by the sound of an explosion. There's more shouting before I realize my rejected mates are at each other's throats.

"Fucking get away from me! She's in pain. I'm healing her. Move."

“I swear to Deskar and all his gods an

  • Princess and her four Princes    147. Leaving Crestbane with Mort

    ~Bethany~I see that same realization dawn on the others as Olyon tips his head curiously, Mosley scowls, and Jayan frowns.Jay huffs. "How the fuck did she get in here? I know she saved our lives, but still. Maybe Sad’s old spells are weakening from his transition or something? Is that a thing?"I don't have answers, but I notice Hellion checking over his shoulder at the hallway, which is now filled with smoke and the distant echo of shouting.Clearly, Crestbane University is in chaos after the Liminal order abandoned everything and ran off.A chill runs down my spine, and my senses sharpen painfully. I look back at Zuri. “There are more Tophet-bound creatures in Crestbane?"She blinks. "Yeah, there are. How did you-oh, right! You can sense them, like you sensed that ugly-ass creature back in Torah. We need to get away from here as fast as possible. It's mayhem out there, and I want to just go home to my mom and…" Zuri's voice breaks, and she takes a deep, shaky breath. Hellion kiss

  • Princess and her four Princes    146. Shocking

    All my life, I've known to fight, defend, and kill.But right now, all of those are out of question. Asad needs calm; he needs to be protected at least till he's done with his transition.We need to run.It's cowardly, but Gebrit, the priestess, was right. I have no doubt our little fight with the Liminal order gathered eyewitnesses, and it's only a matter of time before older Nobles start the hunt for me, the Venenum, sent from the deepest part of Tophet, to ruin their lives.The Liminal order will send hired assassins.The Crestbane council will send bounty hunters.Others will try to end me for the joy of it.I'm in grave danger.Normally, such thoughts wouldn’t faze me. Instead, I'll be thrilled by the thought of being pursued. But it's not just me anymore.Facing any fight head-on would risk Asad’s life.He's too vulnerable right now. There's no telling when he'll wake up, and he will wake up, or I swear on all the fucking gods, I will drag his soul back from the Beyond myself. E

  • Princess and her four Princes    145. Losing Asad

    ~Bethany~I can sense it even from here…the change in his essence.How dare he do this? I might've been fine. He should have left me.Only even within me, I have the visceral feeling inside of me that tells me I wouldn’t have been fine. I would have died. And I think he felt it. He knew.I sit on the bed beside Asad, wiping any remaining moisture from my eyes. Gods, what has today turned into?Most of the Nobles are either dead or looking for an escape route out of this godsforsken place. I can only pray to the universe that Zuri and Hellion are all right.And if the Liminal order dropped everything and ran at the first sign of the Venenum, things are about to get a lot harder.I'll be hunting them. They'll be hunting me.It's going to be a bloody, bloody mess.I stare at my Fae prince, lying unconscious on the bed. His short hair is damp with sweat, clinging to his forehead as he fights the fever. His breathing is labored, and the veins are indeed popping up and vanishing all at on

  • Princess and her four Princes    144. How dare him do this to me?

    ~Bethany~My heady buzzes continuously, and the presence of Malefic magic hums in my veins.For some reason unknown to me, I feel like I should either be dead or in an unbearable amount of pain.But I'm neither of them.My skin is tingling, not in a pleasant way, but it's not bad either.Weird.Did I somehow manage to heal myself after Serarion hurt me?That’s right, Serarion did hurt me. His body combusted into flames, and the fire burned my body.I never really asked what would happen after killing each of the Liminal order members.It’s sad that I didn’t kill Kaelith Argon myself; maybe if I had done so, I would have experienced something after damaging his anchor of Adreth in his walking stick.That would have at least prepared my mind on what to expect after stabbing Serarion at his own anchor of Adreth embedded in one of the holes in his punctured chest.Now, I need to know, where exactly am I?Or maybe what realm of existence am I in?Oh, fuck. Am I dead?Have I failed my missi

  • Princess and her four Princes    143. I regret nothing

    ~Asad~ I quickly mount the toughest and deadliest spell in me and send it to Magnus Wrath’s way. Because he was focused on ending the dragon, he wasn’t expecting to be spelled. So, when my spell hit him, he dropped straight dead and lifeless on the floor. Azrien Hator turns to me in alarm or maybe shock. He looks over at where Bethany now has Serarion flat on his back, screaming in pain as her magic courses through him, dark smoke writhing around both of them. "Hator! Now!" Serarion screeches. He manages to finally drive another switchblade into Bethany's thigh. She barely reacts, as if she's entranced by her Malefic magic, eager for his death. Azrien Hator has no expression. He turns and rushes out of the fight unscathed without a single look over his shoulder at his dying Liminal member. I don't have time to linger on how strange that is. Instead, I race toward Jayan, who has shifted back into his human form and is wrestling with another shifter despite the gaping wound still

  • Princess and her four Princes    142. Haze of Madness

    ~Asad~"So. The prophesied Venenum truly has left Tophet. Good old Darius went against his words, didn’t he?” Serarion Hogaron asks, focused on Bethany, so I figured he's asking her.She doesn’t respond, and I'm grateful for her silence.“Ridiculous,” Azrien takes on. “Dairus knows we have the key to his doom. All it takes is to get rid of his Venenum, and we'll make sure he doesn’t just rot in Tophet, but also cut off all forms of relief and communication from him.”“That is quite soft for what he's done,” Azrien continues. “He didn’t just overstep his boundaries; he also insulted us by sending this clueless thing to get rid of us. How he could ever think you could be a match for us is beyond me," he Liminal scoffs, approaching painfully slowly."Well, at least it is a relief that this worthless boy who calls himself my son,” Magnus Wrath points to Olyon, “has ended up with a hell-bound spineless bitch."What the hell!How can a father speak so ill of his own son?We're all tensed, b
