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

I kissed the man I swore I’d kill one day. ••• My heart won’t settle. When I broke off our kiss, neither of us moved. Even the air is still like it’s holding its breath. My hand is still at the back of his head, and my toes are cramping from being on tiptoe, but I stay like that for a moment longer, unsure what happens next. King Sven's golden eyes look different now. There's less fire in them and more of surprise. Or maybe confusion. He’s breathing like he just ran a mile, but he doesn’t say anything. Fangs retreating as he just stares at me like I’ve done something he hasn’t figured out how to process yet. Which makes two of us. I don’t even like him. Right? The kiss was not planned. Not even remotely. It just happened. And the only reason it happened was because I pitied him. Felt for him. He looked like someone trying not to fall apart, and for whatever reason, I couldn’t stand there and do nothing. But why the hell did I need to comfort him? I pull my hand away and step

“You killed your mother?” The question escapes my lips in a whisper. It feels too fragile with everything that has happened between us in the last few minutes. But I can’t hold it in. I can’t swallow the weight of what he just admitted. King Sven stands across from me, calm, collected, as if he’d just said he stepped on a flower, not murdered the woman who gave him life. “Do you feel nothing?” I ask, picking up the sheet from the bed before draping it over my nakedness. “No guilt? No… remorse for killing the one who brought you into this world?” His eyes flick to mine. There’s no anger in them. Just an unsettling emptiness. He turns and starts walking slowly toward the door, voice low and steady. “She gave me life, yes. But she never once treated it like it was worth anything. You’ve heard the stories. She wasn’t some loving mother. She was a storm in human skin. An entity not meant to exist.” “Yes, I've heard about her and her wicked heart. A powerful witch whose power knew no bo

“You’ve awakened your Fae energy?” I ask, stuttering, pulling away from him. “Since I was a child. I awoke at the age of nine,” he answers, lip quirking. “Surprised? You shouldn't be. I was quite exceptional as a kid.” I've never thought about the possibility of King Sven having Fae energy which would enable him to awaken his Fae powers due to him being dominantly a hybrid. But now that I know he has it only raises more questions. Faes who have awakened have the ability to reach other Faes, including the ones who are yet to wake their energy. And knowing King Sven has awakened just makes me realize that he could have known about the existence of my brother and I in the Shadow moon pack way before the incident that revealed my secret to him. He could also easily fish out the other Fae scattered around other kingdoms, hiding their identities. “Did you know about us?” My voice is barely above a whisper. “Before the incident… did you know we were there?” And for the first time
The Fae Serenade. Chapter 34.
I took a life.I killed Linnet.Ever since Linnet’s head exploded, I haven’t moved from where I stand. Her body has been carried away. The crowd is quiet too.“An unexpected turn of events. A Fae without Fae energy has won over an Ogre,” the announcer says, voice carrying throughout the colosseum. I hadn't even realised he's now standing next to me. “How do you feel about your victory?” He asks.I glance at him and open my mouth, but no words come out. What am I supposed to say? That I feel victorious for defeating someone I considered a friend… an ally? That I feel thrilled to take a life?No. I can’t say all that. Not when all I feel is the opposite.My gaze shifts from the announcer and flits across the crowd. They're all staring at me. Grave-yard quiet, but some amused, majority irritated. Maggi wears the biggest smile on her face as my eyes meet hers. She rises from her seat and waves at me again, but now I can’t even manage a smile.Then, my gaze meets King Sven.He still look
