The Fae Serenade. Chapter 43.
“You confuse me, Sven,” I say as he drops me at the edge of the bed in my room. He doesn't say anything in response, just backs away and stares at me with green eyes which seems to be filled with thoughts I'm not privy to. “You don't like me…”“And why do you think I don't like you? I don't remember telling you that I didn't,” he says, voice oddly calm as if he didn't just say something that leaves me extremely perplex. “I'm a Fae. That alone tells me you hate me, Sven.”He tilts his head. “It does?”“Stop pretending. You hate my kind.”“I understand my actions can be confusing, but that doesn't mean I hate you, my little Fae,” he smiles at me and it only makes my heart flutter and cheeks burn. “I knew about your existence since you entered my Kingdom, Olivia. Yet, I did nothing. Shouldn't that tell you that I don't hate you?”“I don't know. You tell me. After all, you're the master at being unpredictable.”He laughs, a low deep chuckle as he cocks an eyebrow at me. “Let's forget abo
The Fae Serenade. Chapter 42.
Without responding, I head to a corner to sit, leaning my back against the wall. I need a minute to myself without having to think about King Sven and the unnameable feeling stirring within me, one that I can't even blame on the mate bond that's practically useless. A minute without having to think that I have taken the life of two people and might be taking even more just to get freedom.King Sven clears his throat as he moves towards me, but I don't look at him as my gaze fixes to the floor. My eyes hurt and I can barely even see through them.“Am I being ignored?” He asks.I don't answer.“Or did you manage to lose your voice during the match? Your hearing perhaps?” He says teasingly, as though we're joking amongst ourselves. “Did the Lycan punch you too hard?”Still, I don't answer.“Oh, I am being ignored,” King Sven relents with a sigh. “Is it because of the match? I thought you were fearless, Olivia. So why is a match you won upsetting your mood?”“It's not,” I snap, lifting my

“As you both know already. There are no rules for the Dance of the Dead, but any last words to each other?” The announcer asks as he looks between me and Darius.Darius grins, baring his fangs as his gaze rakes over me like I am nothing but a prey to him. “I’ll enjoy ripping your chest open. Or maybe I’ll start with your head.”I don't answer. Instead, I take a step back, spinning my staff in a tight arc, the weight of it is steady in my grip. Darius taunts don't rattle me. If anything, they only stoke the fire in my veins. Good. The world will be better with his blood spilled on this sand.“I can make your death quick if you let me give the audience what I know they would love,” he says suddenly, just as the announcer leaves, signifying the start of the match.“And what might that be?” I already know. But I ask anyway.His tongue flicks over a fang. “Ever heard of voyeurism? I could give you the best release of your life before I blow your brains out.”My fingers tighten around the s

There's a dull throb in my heart. One different from the one I felt earlier. This is more tamed, aching, spreading around areas in my chest I'll never be able to reach with my hand.Katniss continues to stare at me as she stands by the door, holding it ajar. She raises a condescending brow. “Just because there are no guards at their post doesn't mean you have the right to come over to the King's quarter,” she says. “You should be punished for this, but I'll excuse you because I'm feeling charitable today. What are you doing here?”I don’t answer. My gaze slides past her, into the room, where King Sven lies sprawled across the bed like a fallen warrior—or, more accurately, like a man who just got very thoroughly knocked out. Katniss snaps her fingers in my face. “Eyes down here, sweetheart. Unless you’re suddenly fascinated by an unconscious King?” My gaze drifts back to her, and at this point I don't even know what to say anymore, but I can't just keep quiet. Right. Words. I shou
The Fae Serenade. Chapter 39.
It’s almost midnight now, and I’ve been training relentlessly for the past five hours, each swing of my staff a desperate attempt to quiet the storm in my mind. Tomorrow is my next match, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t shake Eliana’s words.“Focus, Olivia,” I whisper to myself, forcing my grip to tighten around the staff. I channel every ounce of strength into a single strike, bringing it down on one of the jagged rocks Maggi placed earlier for me to practice. The rock splits cleanly in two with a sharp crack that echoes in the still night air.I hear a slow clap coming from behind me.I turn, breathless, to find Maggi lying on the ground, a book resting across her chest and a soft, knowing smile playing on her lips.“Beautiful,” she says, her voice warm. She sits up, letting the book slide off her as she stops clapping. “It seems you’re finally getting the hang of your strength. But… there’s something else, isn’t there? What’s weighin
The Fae Serenade. Chapter 38.
Eliana stares at me, unblinking, arms folded across her chest as she reclines back in her seat. “It’s been five minutes, Olivia. Did the cat get your tongue, or is your brain really slow at processing information?”I blink, trying to focus, but her words feel like they’re swimming through the crevice in my brain.I’m still trying to wrap my head around what she just said; about factions, about King Sven abdicating his position, and how the mate bond between me and him will be used as proof to bring him down.“I’m not saying anything,” I murmur, voice stiff and guarded. “Because I don’t know what you want to hear from me.”Eliana looks away from me, biting into her lower lips as she hums a tune underneath her breath. I can tell there's still more she has to say. “Spill it, Eliana. What do you want from me?”“I don’t want anything,” she snaps quickly, eyes flicking back to mine. “But someone else might.”My stomach tighte
