Se connecterChapter 115A Visit That Felt Like LoveAdelaide’s POVEverywhere was quiet when I finally opened my eyes. It felt slow, but I was able to open my eyes now.My whole body felt so heavy, like my body did not belong to me anymore. For a few seconds, I didn’t even know where I was.The ceiling above me looked familiar, but my mind was still trying to catch up. My head felt light, like I had been gone for a long time.I blinked slowly and I realized I was in my room and I was in my chamber.The curtains moved gently as the wind came in through the window. My chest tightened slightly as I tried to move, but pain followed me immediately.My stomach felt strange too, like something inside me had been shaken and was still trying to settle.I swallowed slowly, then I noticed that I wasn’t alone. I saw that someone was standing by the window.The figure was still and facing outside, like they had been watching the sky for a long time. For a moment, I thought it was Paula.I tried to sit up a
Chapter 114Broken WallsKaius’ POVI was in my chamber, staring at the papers in front of me, but I wasn’t really seeing them.The words blurred together and I couldn't tell what I was reading anymore.My mind kept drifting back to what happened, but I tried as much as possible to focus. I didn't want to dwell on it anymore.Since I left that day, I haven't gone to see Adelaide and I didn't care how she was doing anyways, not now that I was battling with guilt.Just then, Rafaello stepped in quietly like he always did, closing the door behind him with care. He walked closer, stopping a few steps away from me.“Alpha…” he started.I didn’t even look up. I already knew what he was about to say.“The Luna….”“I don’t want to hear it,” I cut in sharply. My voice came out harder than I expected.Rafaello paused and I could feel his eyes on me, watching me closely. “Alpha… something is wrong,” he said again, a little slower this time. “The Luna….”“I said I don’t want to hear it!” This tim
Chapter 113What Have I DoneKaius' POV I felt her fingers brush against me and I snapped. I turned sharply, grabbing her wrist before she could touch me again and pushed her hard against the wall.Her back hit the stone with a dull sound and she gasped.My eyes locked onto hers, dark and burning. “I am your Alpha.” My voice was low and dangerous. “You do not question me.”Paula’s eyes widened as fear filled them instantly. Her body went still against the wall, her breathing uneven as she tried to look at me.“I… I’m sorry, Alpha…” she whispered quickly. Her voice shook and there were tears in her eyes.I stared at her for a second, then I walked away.She just stood there, pressed against the wall, watching me like she didn’t know who I was anymore.When I got to my chambers, I felt horribly wrong. I couldn't believe I left Adelaide the way I did. What happened to the love I had for her?I shook my head. She betrayed me. But then, it kept coming.What have I done? I thought, the que
Chapter 112Shattered ControlAdelaide’s POVI turned my head slightly, staring at nothing, then I whispered, barely able to believe the words myself.“Rey is my mother…” My throat tightened.“That’s… unbelievable.”I didn’t even have time to breathe when I got closer to my chambers.My heart was already beating fast, but I told myself I was just thinking too much. Maybe it was because of everything that happened tonight. Meeting her… hearing the truth, it was already too much for one night.I placed my hand on my chest and took a slow breath. “I’m fine…” I whispered to myself, even though I didn't feel fine.When I finally reached my door, I stopped as my brows pulled together slowly.There were no guards in front of my door.I blinked. That had never happened before.Kaius always made sure there were guards outside my chamber. Always. No matter what.So why… were they gone? Fear crept into my chest, but I waved it off immediately.“Maybe they stepped away…” I said under my breath, b
Chapter 111A Choice That HurtsAdelaide’s POV“Mother… you’re really my mother…” I whispered, my voice barely steady, it still didn’t feel real.Rey smiled at me, and for the first time, it wasn’t cold or distant. It was soft, like something I had been missing my whole life. “Yes,” she said gently. “I am.”Before I could say anything else, she reached for my hands. Her fingers wrapped around mine like she was scared I might disappear.“You have to help me,” she said, her voice suddenly heavier.I blinked. “Help you… with what?”Her expression changed and the softness in them faded, replaced by something deeper. “To bring them down.”My breath caught.Her grip tightened slightly. “They took everything from me, Adelaide. Everything.” Her eyes searched mine. “We deserve justice.”My heart started beating faster. This… this was too much.I slowly pulled my hands away from hers as her fingers stayed in the air for a moment before falling back to her side.I swallowed hard. “I…” I started,
Chapter 110The Enemy Within Adelaide’s POVI looked at her, expecting to hear the worst, but I didn't. “I saved him.” She said and I was surprised.I blinked. “You… saved him?”“Yes,” she said as her eyes met mine again. “He woke up, but…”She paused and then looked away, her expression darkened. “The next day… he died.”There was silence for a while as a chill ran down my spine. “What?” I whispered.“They said it was my fault,” she continued as her voice hardened. “They said I poisoned him.”My heart pounded. “Did you?” I asked before I could stop myself.Her eyes flashed. “No.” The word came out sharp. “I would never do that.”I believed her, but I didn’t know why.“He was poisoned,” she said. “Not by me. But no one cared about the truth.” Her jaw tightened. “They needed someone to blame.”My stomach twisted. “So they blamed you…” I said slowly.She let out a bitter breath. “They didn’t just blame me.” Her eyes darkened. “They punished me.”My hands curled slightly at my sides.“
Chapter 69They Drugged Me?Adelaide’s POV“I’m not worthy of the queen mother’s meal,” I added. “Tell her I said thank you.”They looked confused. One of them even looked scared.Just then, the door opened again and Christine walked in, a smirk spreading out across her cheeks.“My lady,” she said
Chapter 60The Witch Visits The Luna Adelaide’s POV “Kaius?” I called, moving closer to the body the soldiers held. “My lady, you can't see him..” Paula held me, trying to stop me with a little shake of her head. “Is that really him?!” I kept moving, ignoring her completely. The courtyard felt
Chapter 62Collapse of the KingAdelaide’s POV “Kaius!”I screamed louder, wrapping my arms around him. He fell heavy in my arms, and I dropped to my knees with him. His weight nearly pulled me down completely, but I held on, my hands clutching his shoulders and reaching to his face. “Kaius, loo
Chapter 29What Is MineKaius’ POVMy hand stayed on her skin longer than it should have.Magnus was stirring inside me asking me to claim her as always. I couldn't resist her and I couldn't really tell what she was doing to me. “Stop..” I said almost like a whisper to Magnus, trying to stop him f
