LOGINSorry for the slow updates, lovelies. My health is really getting in the way, but I'm getting better step by step, so no worries. And thank you lots for your patience!
Hey my lovelies, sorry for the long wait but I am doing my best to post the next chapters today or tomorrow! Thank you for your patience, thank you for reading, and have a lovely day ahead
Theodore“It’s a royal mark.” My heart beats into my throat as I turn around to face Helades standing in the door frame. “They are larger than the usual mark you might have read about. Sorry, I wasn’t able to warn you about that.” I stare at him agape until my brain starts functioning again, making me blink. “Sorry, I must have hallucinated for a second. What?” “A royal mark,” he explains, lifting his finger to point at it. “It is usually bigger than the normal mate marks. Gilda told me about you scrolling through those forums for research. You could have asked me if you wanted to know something about my world or the other realms.” My breath hitches in my throat, and I look at him agape, crossing my hands behind my neck. “What?” I whisper, watching him take a step closer. “I know that I have been an asshole. But I would have wanted to be the one to teach you all those things. I’m really sorry, Theodore. I have been an idiot. I was so scared about the crown, and I spent so long ru
Theodore“Oh, my god,” I whisper under my breath. “What happened?”The doctor shrugs, her eyes sparkling. “I don’t say that lightly. But it was a miracle. During the night, we had to take the tubes out because you started breathing on your own. We did another screening because the machines showed that you were responding to different impulses. And as the results came back, we were shocked. Your blood levels were extraordinary, and after running more tests, we couldn’t find the congenital heart defect you had since birth, which was diagnosed a few months ago. It was gone.”“Gone?” I ask, staring at her agape. “How? Was there a mistake?”She shakes her head. “That was our first thought, too.
TheodoreA faint rustle wakes me up, my eyes burning as I force them open.“That’s too bright,” I rasp out, my words turning into a coughing fit.A nurse hurries to stand next to my bed, filling a glass with water. I take it with shaky hands, fearing I will spill everything. “Slowly, don’t worry about spilling a bit.”She helps me drink by supporting the glass just enough to make me feel like I’m doing it on my own. “Aah,” I breathe out, my throat feeling as if I had been eating sand. “Thank you.”She puts down the glass, passing her palms over her scrubs, and I clear my throat. “Are you an angel? Am I dead?”
Nathanael400 years ago Ugh, I’m full. I think I need to throw up. Observing Fyodor checking his bandages like a curious child without a care in the world, I can’t stop asking myself what is wrong with me. “Are you feeling alright?” “Yeah, I guess so.” He moves his gaze to me, setting down his foot with a smile. “Thank you. I guess you saved me?” I close my eyes with a sigh, shrugging. “Well, I couldn’t leave you behind without getting you jailed for doing a massacre, so… What were you doing there, by the way?” He shifts in his seat, tilting his head. “I was trying to run away.” “Run away? From what?” Chuckling shyly, he shakes his head, and strangely, a burning sensation explodes in my chest. “There was an execution starting on the main square. I panicked and fled into an alley. I didn’t want to see someone else die. Yesterday was enough for me.” He averts his gaze shortly before looking back at me. “That must be sounding stupid, I know.” “It doesn’t sound stupid. It IS stu
Nathanael400 years ago “Are you serious?”"Isn't the Prince exaggerating?" “Psst, are you crazy?! Do you want to burn as well?” “Well, you missed the execution yesterday. Have you ever watched children being burnt at the stake, Karl? I don’t think so. Or you wouldn’t tell anyone to fucking shut up.” “Fyodor!” The hissing of one of the men causes the entire discussion to slow down, the tones turning quieter. I take a sip of my beer, forcing myself not to distort my face in disgust. The beginning of something ugly is clearly floating in the air, and it creates so much tension triggered by fear that it even makes me want to go back to the palace. “They even executed a priest,” another says, in a whispered tone that I wouldn’t get if it wasn’t for my enhanced hearing ability. “This is madness.” I lift my glass towards the innkeeper, who is glancing their way with a suspecting expression. “Can I get another one?” He nods, his annoyance about me interrupting him eavesdropping cl
Theodore“I want to look after you—” My words turn into a strange squeal as he grabs me, throwing me over his shoulders.He laughs while I protest on his shoulder, and close
TheodoreI drive into the underground parking and am about to turn into the direction of the lots assigned to the employees, as Nathanael pulls at my hoodie. With a gesture of his head, he incites me to drive in the other direction, where I know he and the other high-ups keep their cars. I don’t
Nathanael“Good morning,” Gilda says in a sing-song, causing me to look up at her.“Good morning,” I answer, checking her appearance and asking m
Theodore“Why don’t you go upstairs and take a break?” I jerk up, wiping the corners of my lips to free them from any trickle of drool. I must have fallen asleep, and my slow brain has to push down the paradisal vision before me to start booting up correctly. Blinking, I look up at Helades, who
