THE VEILED BRIDE THERE'S A CHILD
KIVAHis fingers tightened around mine."Tell me."I tried to speak, but the words caught in my throat. It was ridiculous. I had faced monsters, witches, sorcerers, and people who wanted me dead, and yet telling my husband we were going to have a child terrified me more than any of them, because this mattered, because I had never wanted anything so much without being afraid the universe would take it away. I drew a shaky breath."Damien, you're going to be a father."He didn't move. For one terrible second I wondered whether he'd understood me, and then his eyes widened."What?"I laughed through my tears."I'm pregnant."He stared at me, his mouth opening but no words coming out. I had never seen Damien speechless before, not when he was furious, not when he was threatening someone, and now the king of House Orion looked as though I'd just told him the moon belonged to him."You're…" He swallowed. "You're pregnant?"I nodded. His gaze dropped to my stomach, then returned to my face.
THE VEILED BRIDE TWO HEARTBEATS
KIVAFor the first time in a long time, I woke up without feeling as though the world was waiting for an opportunity to destroy me. There was no urgent knock on the door, no guard rushing in with terrible news, no shadow lurking at the edge of my thoughts reminding me that someone, somewhere, was plotting against the people I loved. There was only warmth. Damien's arm was wrapped around my waist, his chest pressed against my back, his steady breathing tickling the nape of my neck, one of his legs tangled with mine beneath the covers so that I couldn't move without disturbing him, not that I particularly wanted to.I lay there for a while, watching the morning sunlight creep through the curtains and thinking about how much we had survived. Catherine, the sorcerers, the secrets about my mother, the pain of losing Ada, Paige's betrayal, Bryan's endless obsession with destroying everything Damien and I had built. Even after all of it we were still here, together, with Bryan locked away an
THE VEILED BRIDE THE DECISION
KIVA"I want him imprisoned."The words left my mouth, and for several seconds nobody spoke. Bryan stared at me as though I'd announced something far more terrible than his death, and even Damien turned his head slightly, studying my face to make sure he'd heard me correctly."Imprisoned?" Bryan repeated."Yes." I returned my attention to him. "You heard me."He laughed, though there was no humour in it."That's it? After everything that's happened, after everything you've lost because of me, you're going to lock me in a cell?""I haven't finished."His mouth snapped shut. I moved closer to the table, keeping my eyes on his."You're going to spend the rest of your life remembering every choice you've made. You'll live with the knowledge that you had opportunities to stop, that you could have walked away, and that you chose to keep hurting people instead. And you won't get to come after me or anyone I love ever again."His expression hardened."You think a cell is going to stop me?""N
THE VEILED BRIDE I HAVE MADE MY DECISION
KIVAThe closer we got to the room where Bryan was being held, the quieter I became. Damien walked beside me with his hand wrapped around mine, and he hadn't asked whether I was sure about seeing Bryan again, hadn't tried to convince me to kill him or spare him. He had simply handed me the choice and let me make it, and somehow that made it harder, because I'd spent so long fighting people who wanted to control my life that I wasn't sure what to do when someone gave the decision back to me."What are you thinking about?" Damien asked.I glanced at him."Nothing."He gave me a look, and I sighed."I was thinking about how strange it is that we're here.""Here as in the palace?""Here as in walking to see a man who has caused us so much trouble while you're holding my hand like we're going for a romantic stroll."His mouth twitched."I can let go."I tightened my grip immediately."Don't you dare."He chuckled and lifted my hand to his lips."Then stop complaining, baby."I rolled my ey
THE VEILED BRIDE THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Sometimes, the cruelest thing a person can do is make you doubt the one person you trust completely.Kiva's POVI woke up warm, and that was the first thing I noticed. For the first time in what felt like forever, there was no screaming in my head, no shadows crawling along the edges of my mind, no Catherine, and no fear that someone was about to come through the door. There was only warmth, and Damien.I opened my eyes slowly. He was lying beside me, still asleep, one arm wrapped tightly around my waist as though even in his sleep he was afraid I might disappear. I smiled, because after everything we had been through, waking up like this felt almost unreal.I carefully tried to lift his arm, and it tightened around me immediately. I froze, waited a moment, then tried again, but he didn't budge."Damien."No response."Damien."He made a low sound in his throat and buried his face against my shoulder, his breath warm against my skin. I couldn't help smiling again."You can't keep me t
THE VEILED BRIDE I LOVE YOU BABY
Kiva. And this time, I didn’t bother pretending I wanted him to stop.His mouth claimed mine harder, deeper, the soft kisses from before turning hungry. One of his hands slid up my back, fingers spreading wide between my shoulder blades as he pulled me flush against him. The other stayed firm on my waist, thumb pressing into the soft place just above my hip. I could feel him already hard against my thigh, thick and insistent, and the knowledge that I was the reason made heat pool low in my stomach.He broke the kiss only long enough to murmur against my lips, “I’ve been thinking about this all day.”“About what?”“You. Under me. Around me.” His voice dropped lower. “Taking every inch of me until you forget how to form words.”A shiver ran through me. He noticed. Of course he did. His mouth curved against mine before he kissed me again, slower this time, tasting, exploring, while his hand slipped under the hem of my dress. Warm fingers trailed up the bare skin of my thigh, higher, hig
THE VEILED BRIDE "HE IS COMING"
"The cruelest people are not the ones who hurt you. They are the ones who watch and decide it is not their problem."KIVAShe held out her hand, palm up, like this was already settled, like I had already agreed, like the outcome of this moment had never really been in question.And maybe, in this h
THE VEILED BRIDE "TAKE IT OFF"
"The bravest thing a broken person can do is say yes to something good."KIVA."Yes."The word came out broken by tears, cracked right down the middle, not elegant at all, not the way I had ever imagined saying something like that if I was ever lucky enough to be asked something like this."Yes, Fa
THE VEILED BRIDE "DON'T GO"
“THE DREAMS WE CANNOT CONTROL ALREADY OWNS US”DAMIEN (HADES) POVI am in the dream again, and I always know I'm dreaming the moment it starts, but that never gives me control over it because it just means I'm aware enough to suffer through it properly.It begins in silence, not a peaceful silence
THE VEILED BRIDE YES OR NO?
“ ALLOW YOURSELF TO SHINE WITHOUT BEING SEEN” KIVA POV.He looked at me for a moment like he was deciding how much to say."The Decaulion," he said.I went still.The name alone did that. Even to someone like me, someone who had spent most of her life looking down rather than up at the structures
