Chapter 12: Fractured Loyalties

The silence between Karina and Caden was thick, heavy with unspoken words. She hadn’t realized how much time had passed until Caden spoke, his voice a quiet whisper that seemed to echo in the stillness of the courtyard.

"Karina... you don't have to worry about her."

Karina swallowed, the words lingering in her throat like a bitter taste. "I’m not worried," she said, too quickly, trying to mask the uneasy flutter in her chest. "I just... don’t understand why she came back now. After all this time."

Caden glanced at her, his expression unreadable, but his eyes betrayed a flicker of something—uncertainty, maybe? Or was it guilt? It was hard to tell.

"She’s always been like that," he said after a pause, his voice hardening just slightly. "Coming and going, whenever she feels like it. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is—" He stopped mid-sentence, his jaw tightening.

Karina turned away before she could stop herself, staring at the stone pathway beneath

  • The Prince of Zorana   Chapter 40

    Chapter 40: A New DawnThe first thing Caden noticed when he woke was the warmth of the sunlight spilling through the thick curtains, casting soft golden rays across the room. It felt like a strange comfort after the cold darkness that had gripped him for so long. His body was still heavy with fatigue, his muscles aching, but there was a new kind of peace surrounding him. The panic, the fear, the doubt that had plagued him in his final moments—before everything had gone black—were gone.His eyes fluttered open, taking in the sight before him.Luka and Silas were sprawled across the bed, their little bodies pressed up against his own, one with his head on Caden’s chest, the other curled up against his side. The twins looked like two miniature versions of him, their dark hair tousled from sleep, their peaceful expressions a world away from the chaos they had faced. It was a rare moment of serenity—one that he had never thought he woul

  • The Prince of Zorana   Chapter 39

    Chapter 39: The Edge of HopeThe castle was a place of silence now, a silence that felt heavier than any battle, more suffocating than any chaos that had once stormed through its halls. The sounds of war had faded, replaced by the steady drip of blood, the low hum of magic, and the frantic whispers of those who had witnessed Zorana's near destruction.Caden was unconscious.Karina sat by his side, her hand resting on his chest, her eyes fixed on his face, willing him to wake. She had seen him fight with all the fury of his vampire lineage, watched as he gave everything to save the kingdom—and the twins—but now he lay still, his body ravaged by the toll of his heroism.She couldn’t understand it. He had survived so much, faced so many enemies, but this—this felt different. There was no strength left in him. No energy to reach back to her.Hours turned into days, and still, there was no sign of him stirring.She r

  • The Prince of Zorana   Chapter 38

    Chapter 38: The Heart of ChaosThe storm had come.The kingdom of Zorana, once a place of quiet power and ancient beauty, was now a sprawling battlefield, its towering spires and royal halls echoing with the sounds of war. The earth seemed to tremble beneath the weight of the chaos, and every street in the city was filled with the sounds of clashing steel, cries of pain, and the unmistakable growl of vampires hungry for blood.Lena had set everything into motion.Her treachery, her desire to claim Zorana for herself, had not only destabilized the kingdom but had awakened a faction of vampires long thought dormant—the ancient bloodline of Zorana that had been sealed away by Caden’s ancestors. And now, with the veil of secrecy torn away, the kingdom was fractured and at war.Caden had never felt the weight of responsibility so heavily on his shoulders. As he stood at the palace gates, overlooking the battlefield, his heart pounded in his

  • The Prince of Zorana   Chapter 37

    Chapter 37: Unveiling the TruthThe days had been slow, but steady. For Karina, it was a battle of trust—her heart still sore from the wounds that Lena’s betrayal had left, and the distance that had grown between her and Caden over the years. But Caden was trying. She could see it in the way he looked at her now, the quiet tenderness in his eyes, the way he reached for her hand when no one was watching, the effort he put into rebuilding their connection.Still, there was a part of her that hesitated. She had loved him once with all of her heart, but could she truly open herself to him again? Could she trust him not to slip back into the same mistakes? Could she trust him with her heart when he had once shattered it?As the sun set behind the mountains, casting a warm glow across the palace grounds, Karina stood at the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Her twins, Luka and Silas, were playing with Cael, their younger half-brother, who had begun to war

  • The Prince of Zorana   Chapter 36

    Chapter 36: Rebuilding the BrokenThe grand halls of the palace, once filled with tension and deceit, were now quiet, the air thick with a sense of cautious hope. The revelation of Lena’s betrayal had left scars on everyone involved, but there was a strange peace beginning to settle, like the calm after a storm. Yet, for all the progress, a deeper wound remained, one that neither time nor actions could easily heal.Caden stood by the window of his chambers, staring out at the sprawling grounds below. The kingdom of Zorana had been shaken to its core, and the palace was no exception. Lena’s treachery had poisoned every corner of their lives, and the aftermath was still raw. His eyes flickered briefly to the door as he heard the soft click of footsteps approaching—Karina’s footsteps.She had been avoiding him, as she had every day since the truth about Lena came to light. Karina was still here in the palace, still by his side for the sake o

  • The Prince of Zorana   Chapter 35

    Chapter 35: The Unraveling of DeceitThe tension in the palace had reached a breaking point. For years, Lena had carefully woven a web of lies, manipulating those around her, pulling strings from the shadows to achieve her ultimate goal: to see her son Cael crowned as the King of Zorana, and to rid herself of all threats to her power. But now, with each passing day, that web had started to unravel.Luka and Silas, though still young, had unknowingly become the center of a deadly game—a game that Lena had played with ruthless precision. She had used them as pawns, trying to erase any trace of their true heritage, to force Caden’s heart and mind to believe that they weren’t his children. But no amount of manipulation, no number of schemes, could keep the truth buried forever.The revelation had come unexpectedly, triggered by a series of events that no one could have predicted. Caden had believed Lena’s lies, had trusted her—just as K
