Freda’s composure shattered.

“I—I didn’t mean it,” she sobbed. “Please—Your Grace—I-I take it back—”

Lillia straightened.

“Take it back?” she repeated coolly. “Words are not trinkets to be returned once used. You spoke them. Now, you will answer for them.”

Her gaze shifted to the guards, and they moved at once. Panic surged through the courtyard, and the other ladies rose.

“Your Grace—”

“Please—”

“She meant no harm—”

Lillia did not acknowledge them, and the guards did not stop. As the dagger n

  • The Alpha King’s Mate Is An Ancient   SIXTY-TWO

    Memories surged through her mind as a sudden tightening gripped her throat and Lillia touched her neck. She could still vividly remember Amelia’s blood shot eyes that watched her with pure animosity. She remembered the unnatural voice that echoed from her lips, the words she hated to think about, but she couldn’t stop the invasion. Lillia stilled for a moment watching the peacefully sleeping figure on the bed and a cold shudder ran down her spine, the tightening at her throat hardened.But in that same light, Lillia lowered her gaze and forced the images and thoughts to the back of her mind. She drew in a deep breath and when she was ready, she looked at Amelia again. Her chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. There was no tension in her body, no crease upon her brow, no sign of the struggle. It seemed so natural that it felt wrong. “The healers said she’s alright. They say there’s nothing wrong with her body,” Nefertiti sat on the bed and took Amelia’s hand in hers, and this tim

    Regaleon is not another Pete. He will not let such happen. Fenris rose, her presence enveloping the coldness within Lillia’s chest in a warm embrace. Besides, having seen the kind of person he is, if he wanted to dispose of you, he wouldn't buy us an extra seven days without a plan.Fenris continued firmly, every word lifting Lillia’s spirit.Why buy us time if he doesn't want anything to do with us? Why buy us time if he doesn't trust in our abilities. He wouldn’t even bother to drop information of Damiel's ploy. Have you forgotten that we were the ones that told him to sit back and watch while we prove ourselves? He is waiting for us.How could I forget? Lillia gritted her teeth as she endured the suffocating pain swelling within her heart. Strength is not forged in comfort. It is shaped in difficulty. Especially when failure is apparent. That’s what he had said. Lillia thought back quickly, realisation slamming into her mind with painful clarity.It almost felt as though he knew.

    No sooner had Maera, Kyla and Selene entered the bedroom, the heated air shifted. With the dark curtains now parted, rays of sunlight flooded the room, warm and bright, bringing with it the subtle sweetness of life, accompanied by the bustling voices of one who became a sister, one a friend and one a mother.And it was this environment that the elder healer walked into, when the doors opened again.“Elder healer.” Lillia’s expression was still pale, her ears flushing bright red as she managed a smile, but one look at Lillia’s face and the elder healer’s expression turned sour.“Your Majesty.” His steps quickened, hurrying to the side of the bed. “Are you alright?” He wasted no time in reaching for her palm to check her pulse, and only when he confirmed her condition did his expression ease up. “Your pulse is strong, and your body has fully recovered. But… I do not understand these symptoms...”He examined her face, a frown settling when he noticed her ears. “I have certainly never com

    “My death-defying bride.” Regaleon’s eyes darkened. His gaze dragged over her slowly before returning to her eyes. “You return from the brink of death… only to ogle?”His lips curved, amusement crossing his expression lightly. “I wonder… was death truly so lacking that you return for a more satisfying view? Was it worth it?”Lillia swallowed hard, her face burning with shame, cursing at the reaction his low deep vibrating voice dealt her body as it rolled off smoothly with his warm breath splashing across her face. “I—I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Memories from the banquet rushed through her mind in brutally painful fragments, but none of them helped her now, not with the way his gaze lingered on her like he could peel through every lie she tried to hold together.The intensity with which he watched her was so strong that the room around seemed to blur out of Lillia’s view until there was nothing but oblivion left. An oblivion with just one constant in it. And she could

    When Lillia became fully aware of her surroundings, she immediately sat up with urgency, her senses snapping into place all at once. And the first thing she realised was that this was not her chamber. So where was she? Her fingers twitched against the sheets as her gaze drifted downward. They were a dark shade of grey silk, smooth beneath her touch and cold, much like the ceiling above. As a matter of fact, everything in the room carried that same cold, dark and controlled tone.Instead of the soft cream curtains that filtered light gently into her chambers, these were heavy black drapes, drawn just enough to allow thin blades of sunlight to cut through, casting long shadows across the room rather than warmth.Every piece of furniture was placed with purpose, from the broad, imposing bed she sat upon, to the polished surfaces that reflected just enough light to reveal their presence without drawing attention. Even the air felt different. It was still and grounded, carrying a quiet

  • The Alpha King’s Mate Is An Ancient   FIFTY-SEVEN

    It was always a different tale. For everyone who had fought with death, and lived to tell the story; it was always a different experience—terrifying. Peaceful. Saddening. Rush. There also were never many who had kicked death in the teeth, and lived to tell the story unscathed.They were called death whisperers, because they were never the same again. One way or the other, their souls bore a mark, having escaped the tight grip of death. And for them, it is said that one way or the other, sooner or later, death would come for what it was owed.Perhaps, death had come for Lillia, and once again, she had snatched her soul right out of its grip. She had stared it in the face and kicked it in its teeth.That could never have been said for the woman she used to be, and even as she sunk deeper into the black waters, slipping into unconsciousness, and into the darkness until no trace of her remained at the surface… She did not fight it.Everything had once been loud, and this does not refer to

    Since I sent word, I haven’t heard back. It has been silent, very silent. I also heard there was an increase in security.” Selene looked at Lillia seriously. “It is very suspicious.” “No doubt about that. Why would they suddenly increase security? What exactly are they guarding against?” “Lady M

    The palace was alive by the next day, more alive than it had been since Lillia woke.Maidens in her quarters moved quickly through the corridors, though their footsteps softened when they passed certain corners, and conversations that had begun in low murmurs often died entirely the moment a guard

    By evening, Lillia’s waist and shoulders ached in ways she had not known possible. Selene had moved from posture, to walking drills, to balancing with a goblet filled to the brim, spilling more times than she could count. Then, they moved to turning without letting her hem drag, and finally to sit

    “Shoulders back.”Selene’s voice cut cleanly through the quiet of Lillia’s bedchamber.The heavy curtains had already been drawn aside and morning light spilled across the wide rugs, the low table pushed toward the wall, and the sofas cleared to create space in the centre of the room. Kyla sat cro
