(Ryanna’s POV)

"Their bodies were close, so I took the keys and escaped. And that's how I got to you."

I gazed at him, trying to figure out if I was more confused or angry. He was crouched in the corner of the hut like some ancient shadow, half of his face still swollen.

I tightened my grasp on the cup cradled in my palm. I didn’t trust him. Not his sudden appearance. Not this eager confession. And not the way he looked at me with those eyes, yet the hate in them was directed at someone else, someone who wasn't here now… Aurelius.

"Do you expect me to believe that?"

He shrugged. "You have every reason to doubt me, princess. But it's the truth. If not for my arrival in such a sorry state, then at least believe I'm trying to escape Aurelius. You saw him try to kill me after all.”

"And you tried to kill me. Twice! Do you think I wouldn't remember those eyes? You were one of Osiris's men back in the wilds. I'm surprised any of you survived."

"Yes I was with Osiris, and after the failed ta

  • Rising of a feeble mate   Chapter 70

    {Nox’s POV}“What are you planning?” She asked me.I thought about it for a long time.Would I tell her what I had planned? How did I go about proving Aurelius's hand in her son's death? No. She didn’t deserve this burden. I need to let her grieve.I didn’t expect my silence to affect her much, but it seemed it did… even so, words would fail. Consoling a grieving mother was not an easy endeavour. There were no right words to say.I turned, facing Casper's bed. He hadn’t moved since this happened. His vitals are flat. His heart failed to beat even once. His breath… absent.Yet, Ryanna still held some hope he was alive. Rigor mortis hadn't set in after all.If the gods were alive, they would bring her son back. No… they wouldn't even let her go through something like this. Like my brother had experienced… having to choose such a terrible path. One with no redemption…‘No, this isn't about me.’ I sighed internally. Casper was wrapped in clean linen like he would wake up any second, but

  • Rising of a feeble mate   Chapter 69

    {Ryanna’s POV}It’s been hours… No, it’s been longer than that. I’ve lost track of time.I haven’t looked away from his face — not even once.Casper lay there, in the same position he’s been in since they brought him inside.My palms have brushed his hands a thousand times, maybe more… His skin is still warm, but it doesn’t matter. He’s not breathing. His heart isn’t beating and I can feel it… the absence of life in every breath I take that he doesn’t, in every pulse of my own heart.The only thing that makes me even remotely hopeful is the fact that his body hasn’t gone through rigor mortis. It should have by now, shouldn’t it?I held on to every bit of hope I could.I blinked, as I forced my eyes to stay open. The red rimmed edges stung. But still, no tears came. I wish they would. I wish my body would let me release it all. But no. Nothing.My body didn't allow me this mercy. Not when Casper's blood is still fresh on my hands. Not when the reality I’ve fought so hard to ignore is e

  • Rising of a feeble mate   Chapter 68

    {Ryanna’s POV}“Hey, have you seen Casper today?” Ophelia’s voice brought me back to the moment. Distracting me from my thoughts.I opened my mouth to respond to her question, to tell her that I hadn’t seen him since the morning, that she shouldn't be worried.‘That's right… She doesn't know about that.”I was about to explain that Casper's time with Aurelius was all a plan to keep Aurelius distracted, and how I realised this from our first argument on the matter, and played along. To make it more believable. I had my problems with the idea, but it worked. So I didn’t press too much.Before I could respond, a wolf ran fast towards me, and I could almost hear the pounding of his heart before he approached me. He was huffing like he was being chased by a monster. “Luna!” he gasped, his tone urgent. “It’s... It’s Casper!”I froze on the spot.There was no need to wait for him to finish. I shot forward, my heart already racing.My mind jumped to a thousand conclusions at once.What had

  • Rising of a feeble mate   Chapter 67

    {Casper’s POV}I stood still as I admired the beautiful view of everything around me. The tall grasses and wildflowers around the sea which swung voluntarily in the wind were breathtaking.Everything is embraced in the sun's warmth. It was indeed peaceful here.Nothing like the chaos of the pack, or the constant tension between warring factions. Here there was just... silence. The kind that made you realize it was just what you were missing and demanded you pause and take in a deep breath.I attempted to do just that when I heard light footsteps behind me. It was pointless turning around to know who it was. Even in the crowd, I could tell the rhythm of her steps, the sound was just too familiar. "Hey, guess what I got she said, her voice light and teasing.I already knew what she was holding, as if I were reading her mind. Or maybe I could already smell the familiar scent of apples.‘She’s just like her dad. Always with the apples.’She gave one of the fruits wearing a soft smile on

  • Rising of a feeble mate   Chapter 66

    {Aurelius's POV}Sometimes I wonder if I was born broken. Other times, I know it is a result of my actions.I remembered once, when I was no older than ten, asking my father why he punished his enemies so brutally. He looked at me, eyes colder and unloving as he said, "Because mercy leaves room for revenge."That stayed with me. Something I would never forget. That singular answer made me detest him, because he did the opposite of what he warned me against, and died as a result of it. Probably that was the ultimate lesson.Regardless, I became like him.Not all at once, of course. These things come in increments. A compromise here. A sacrifice there. Until one day, you’re looking at your son and realize he fears you the way you once feared your father.It should’ve made me pause.It didn’t, because I accept who I am. I love power and control above all else.That's why I am here now."Casper," I called out.I saw how he tightened his jaw the moment I called his name, the way his clenc

  • Rising of a feeble mate   Chapter 65

    {Casper’s Pov}I didn’t slam the door. That would've given him satisfaction.Instead, I left the chamber and let the thick doors of Silver Haven close behind me with their usual quiet groan, the echo of their weight dragging through the stone halls like an afterthought. But inside? My blood was still thundering.He had never yelled at me before. Never raised his voice. And I never dared step too far out of line in return.But Tonight? Tonight something inside me snapped.The conversation kept playing in my head like a slow punch on repeat.“You don’t question my judgment!” Aurelius had snapped, as he paced like a wounded beast, with his robes fluttering with every furious step. “Do you think this world bends for feelings? For peace? You’ve grown up soft, boy. If you want to wear my name, you’ll have to bury your sentiment like a man. Not like the child of that weakling Ryanna!”I had stepped toward him. “Then maybe I don’t want your name.”His fist flew forward.Faster than I’d expect
