Chapter 75

LEONE

A day had passed since Reginald's arrival. He had settled into the east wing without issue, bringing his usual chaos of designer luggage and expensive cologne.

The servants had been running around all morning making sure everything was to his liking.

Now we sat in my study, glasses of whisky between us.

Afternoon light filtered through the windows, casting long shadows across the mahogany desk.

I had been discussing pack business for the past twenty minutes. Border security. Supply chain management. The usual administrative matters that came with running a territory.

Reginald sat across from me, one leg crossed over the other, his fingers drumming against the armrest.

His eyes kept wandering to the window, to the ceiling, to anywhere but me.

He was bored.

I should have expected it. My twin had never cared for the mundane details of leadership.

He preferred the thrill, the danger, the power plays. The daily grind of actually running things had always fallen to me.

    Chapter 80SERAPHINAMorning came too quickly. I had barely slept, my mind replaying everything from the night before. Leone's cruel words. Reginald's threats. The moaning from Leone's room. Clarissa's strange promise.A knock on the door pulled me from my exhausted thoughts."Come in."Sussane entered carrying a tray laden with food. Eggs, toast, fresh fruit, tea. The smell should have made me hungry, but instead, my stomach turned."Good morning, my queen. I brought breakfast.""Thank you, Sussane."She set the tray on the small table by the window, then turned to study me. Her expression shifted from cheerful to concerned."You look terrible. Did you sleep at all?""Not really.""What happened?"I shook my head. "I do not want to talk about it.""But—""Please, Sussane. Not now."She pressed her lips together but nodded. "All right. But you need to eat. You have barely touched your meals lately. It is not good for the baby.""I know.""Promise me you will eat something. Even if it

    Chapter 79LEONESleep would not come after my sex escapades. I had tried for hours lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, willing my mind to shut down. But it refused.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. Seraphina's face when she had overheard me earlier. That look of devastation and broken expression.I should not care. I did not care.But the image would not leave me alone.Finally, I gave up. I threw off the covers and dressed, pulling on trousers and a shirt. The palace was silent at this hour. Most of the servants had retired. Even the guards were sparse, stationed only at key locations.I wandered through the corridors, my footsteps echoing in the emptiness. The cool night air drifted through open windows, carrying the scent of the gardens.I turned a corner and stopped. Someone else was awake. A figure paced near the entrance hall, back and forth, agitated movements in the dim candlelight.Reginald.I approached quietly, watching him. His hair was dishevelled. His shi

    Chapter 78SERAPHINAI stood frozen behind the door, my heart pounding so loudly I was certain they could hear it outside.But Reginald's voice came again, still in the corridor and arguing with Bill."I want to confirm for myself that she is inside.""My lord, I assure you she is. But she has strict rules about people entering her room without permission especially at this hour.""I am not people. I am family.""Even family must respect her boundaries.""Boundaries." Reginald's laugh was harsh. "You speak as if she has any power here or any rights.""She has the right to privacy in her own chambers."Panic seized me. He was going to come in. I could hear it in his voice. That determination. That refusal to be denied.I looked around frantically. The wardrobe? No, too obvious. Under the bed? Not enough space.The curtains. The heavy velvet curtains by the window.I ran across the room as quietly as I could, slipping behind them just as I heard the door handle turn."My lord, please—"

    Chapter 77SERAPHINA'SI tried to move past him. I tried to squeeze by without touching him. But Reginald shifted, blocking my path."Where are you going in such a hurry?""Away from you.""But we were just getting reacquainted.""Movhe e, Reginald.""Not until we finish our conversation.""We have nothing to talk about."His hand shot out, gripping my wrist. Not hard enough to hurt, but firm enough to keep me in place. "I think we have plenty to talk about.""Let go of me.""In a minute. First, I want to know—""Is there a problem here?"We both turned. Cassian stood at the end of the corridor, his healer's bag in hand. His expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp..Relief flooded through me so suddenly I nearly sobbed."No problem." Reginald's tone was cold. "Just catching up with my sister-in-law.""It is time for Seraphina's exercises and treatment." Cassian walked towards us, his pace unhurried but purposeful. "She is already late.""I am sure it can wait.""Actually, it cann

    Chapter 76SERAPHINAI ran. My feet pounded against the marble floors, my breath coming in ragged gasps. Tears blurred my vision, but I did not stop. I could not stop.Other women. He had other women.I was just a public figure. A title and nothing more.The words echoed in my head, over and over, like a curse I could not escape.I burst through my bedroom door and slammed it shut behind me. My back hit the wood and I slid down to the floor, my legs giving out beneath me. The sobs came then, violent and uncontrollable.How could he? How could he say those things?But I knew the answer. Leone did not care. He had never cared. I was just a transaction to him. A means to an end.And Reginald. Reginald sitting there, asking about me like I was some object to be discussed. Like I was nothing.The door opened. Sussane rushed in, her face filled with concern."My queen! What happened? I heard you running—"I could not answer. The sobs were too strong, choking off any words I might have sa
