CHAPTER SEVEN: AH SHIT!

Penulis: Zoe Daniels
last update Tanggal publikasi: 2025-10-28 06:01:35

Evelyn’s POV

The carriage lurches over a stone, jolting me forward so hard my head strikes the wooden frame.

“Ow,” I hiss, rubbing the spot.

My patience was wearing thin. So thin.

Three days of traveling can do that.

Ugh!

Goddess above, I stink. The last shower I took was a day ago at the last Inn we stopped at. It was at the outskirts of Pallavin, the tiny village close to our border with the West.

Although we were yet to cross the border, the terrain around us had already begun to change. R

  • The Mad King's Mate   CHAPTER FIFTY - SEVEN: SOUTHERN POLITICS

    Evelyn’s POV By goddess’ tits and all things milky……I overslept.And not by a little…. By a lot.The moment I woke up and saw sunlight already pouring through the curtains, panic slammed into me so hard I nearly fell out of bed._Pumplenickle!_By the time I am running through the hallway, my heart is pounding so bad I feel it reverberating in my head.I clutch my son closer to my chest as I make a sharp break into the maid’s quarters.Nadia opens the door almost instantly after my hurried, almost-banging knock.She’s one of the younger women from the caravan who stayed with Zahra’s household after the journey. Sweet-faced, warm and patient.And somehow completely obsessed with my child.She bursts into laughter immediately she gets a look at my disheveled appearance. I scowl at her. “It’s not funny.”She wheezes, clutching to the door. She snorts softly and takes my son from my arms carefully.“Go,” she says. “Before Zahra leaves without you.”I frown at her. No one knows about t

  • The Mad King's Mate   CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX : FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

    Evelyn’s POV The noise fades gradually behind us as we move through the corridors of the mansion. Open windows let cool night air drift through the halls.For a while, neither of us speak.Zahra finally stops near an open archway overlooking one of the inner courtyards. Moonlight spills across the stone floor, giving it an ethereal appearance.She turns toward me, resting on the stone railing.“You handled tonight well,” she begins.I blink slightly, confused. “Tonight?”“People,” she replies simply. “You are a new variable they don’t know what to make of. You don’t bolt out of there like I thought your anxious ass would at the weight of their stare.”I take in her words slowly. Was I anxious in there? Yes, being around new people does that to me. Did I want to bolt like my ass was on fire? Yes…. and no.The atmosphere was warm, the way it feels when someone give you a well deserved hug. They didn’t know what to make of me, yet they still received me as one of their own.I let out a

  • The Mad King's Mate   CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE

    Evelyn’s POV Dinner…. Dinner is something else.It’s louuudddd.It’s a lot different than dinner when we were in the tents. The dining hall is full by the time I step in. I had just fed and put Arzhel to sleep. Some of the people who traveled with us had already left earlier in the evening to return to their families, but many remained behind to eat and chat like they belonged here.We sit on low cushions around a long table crowded with food. Bowls of rice and roasted vegetables sit beside platters of meat glazed in spices I still can’t name properly. Warm bread is stacked high in woven baskets.The air smells of spiced stew, roasted meat, and something sweet I can’t quite place.The table is loud, everyone swapping stories of the journey and what has been going on in the city. It’s comforting to finally be in a calm environment.Someone at the far end of the table is recounting how one of the camels nearly kicked Safiya into a water trough.“It hated me for no reason,” Safiya com

  • The Mad King's Mate   CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR:

    Evelyn’s POV We leave the inn in the early hours of the morning, two days later. I hold my son close against my chest, wrapped carefully in light cloth. I wear a light, soft brown wispy gown with a brown veil over my face, the traditional cloth of new mothers as Zahra says. We’re going to travel deeper into the capitol, to Zahra’s home which is closer to the palace. As we pass the market, I see vendors setting up their stalls; laying out fabrics and baskets, arranging spices into careful mounds of red, gold, and brown. I inhale deeply letting the various scent wash over me. It still surprises me how much life exists here. After the desert, I expected something harsher. Something emptier, a desolate land. But this place breathes. Above us, cloth canopies stretch from building to building. It reminds me of a picture from one of Laudia’s human storybooks, what’s it called again…? The one where a princess falls in love with a prince that has a floating blue friend….

  • The Mad King's Mate   CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: Motherhood

    Evelyn’s POVThe prince is getting on my nerves.Seriously.My body reacts before my mind does.I sit up too quickly, wincing as a dull ache pulls through my lower abdomen. Healing is not complete. Lycan healing is fast but not fast enough to heal the injuries of pregnancy.I groan as I make my way to his small wooden crib. I literally just put him down…….I gather him into my arms.Alright,” I murmur, though my voice feels dry from lack of sleep. “I’ve got you.”He quiets almost immediately.That still surprises me,the fact that my presence calms another human being. The only person my presence has ever calmed is Pip and that is after she has given me a round of verbal bashing. That always calms her down.But calming my son… brings an entirely differ feeling.It’s freeing, like running in a meadow filled with flowers.I named him…..Arzhel. My bear prince.My carefully crafted prince.A prince I really need to feed, I think when I see tears welling up in his eyes again.I adjust my

  • The Mad King's Mate   CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO:

    Evelyn’s POV:I always thought birth would feel like something happening to me.Like an event. Something huge.It is, but… fuck, it's painful.I gasp, clutching Zahra’s shoulder.“It’s too soon,” I whisper, though I know it isn’t. “We just arrived.”They had lowered me onto a low bed layered with woven blankets. My dress has been peeled away quickly, replaced with loose cloth. My legs tremble as another contraction builds.This one is stronger.I cry out before I can stop myself.I grip the edge of the mattress as the pain crests and falls, leaving me shaking.“I’m not ready,” I cry. “Please goddess, I'm not.”Zahra kneels between my knees, her expression calm but focused. “You are, Evelyn.”I feel the pressure low. It's unbearable and sharp. My hips feel as though they are being pulled apart from the inside. I arch, breath shattering.“It hurts,” I chose.It really did hurt. Like a constant pressure on my bladder. Like my bones down there were shifting, rearranging to accommodate t
