LUCIAN'S POV

I sat outside in the hallway when Darcy came out and said Selena was asleep due to the medication she took. I nodded without saying a word.

“What are you going to do now?” she asked with her arms folded, and I knew she was asking about the incident.

She believed it was Talia's doing, and i also believed the same. King Aldric won't admit it without any evidence he would surely try to cover up for her if there's evidence proving it was Talia's doing.

“I have to go to the palace,” I s

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    The Prince of Meridara

    DARCY'S POVSelena sat propped against her pillows, a tray of breakfast balanced on her lap, pushing scrambled eggs around with her fork like they personally offended her.I sat in the chair beside her, close enough to help if she needed it, far enough to give her space. The doctor had just left after his morning rounds, and his words still echoed in my head."She's healing well. I'm discharging her in three days."I was happy for the good news except for what he'd said right after, pulling me into the hallway while Selena pretended not to notice."Miss Darcy, we need to discuss her pregnancy. We can't hide it forever. It's her body. She'll start showing signs soon, fatigue, nausea, physical changes. You need to break it to her without shocking her."I nodded, promised I'd figure something out, and walked back into the room with a smile I didn't feel.Now I watched my sister eat, her brow furrowed in concentration like each bite required effort.How was I supposed to tell her that she

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Your mate or your kingdom

    LUCIAN'S POVThe mall was still quiet when we arrived the following morning. There were fewer shoppers and the energy from yesterday's chaos had faded, replaced by the sterile hum of fluorescent lights and distant elevator chimes.I didn't head to the escalator. That scene was already cleaned, already empty. What I needed were witnesses.Xavier and I split up, covering the stores closest to where Selena fell, asking if they had witnessed how Selena fell. I started with a small jewelry kiosk, then a shoe store, then a café.Most attendants shrugged and shook their heads, claiming they hadn't seen anything.But the fourth one, a young woman working at a cell phone repair booth, paused when I asked."You're the prince of Lunaroria, right? The one whose mate got hurt?""Yes." I kept my voice calm, though my heart hammered in my chest. "Did you see what happened?"She bit her lip, glancing around nervously. "I didn't see the fall itself. But I saw someone hanging around the top of the esca

Make sure you call me immediately if anything happens.”She nodded, and I walked toward the exit with Xavier beside me.The drive back to the palace was quiet. Xavier stared out the window, and I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles ached. Neither of us spoke. There was nothing left to say that wouldn't end in a fight.When we arrived, the palace was oddly quiet. I strode through the

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Practiced Lie

    LUCIAN’S POV The door to Selena’s room opened. The doctor stepped out, clipboard still in hand, and spotted me on the floor. He didn't comment. He just walked over, expression professional but not unkind.“Prince Lucian,” he said. “Your mate is stable. Physically, she's healing well. The baby's vitals are strong as well.”Relief flickered through the darkness. “But?”“But her memory loss is significant, as you heard. The temporal lobe trauma is still healing. I strongly advise that you do not give her any information that might cause her shock or distress.”I let out a bitter laugh. “So I just pretend to be a stranger?”“For now.” His tone was firm but gentle. “Let her body heal first. In the meantime, you can help by showing her things that she forgot, places that might bring back her memories.. Anything that might trigger a memory. But do not overwhelm her. Small steps.”He handed me a prescription slip. “These are for pain and anti-inflammatories. She'll need rest and minimal stre

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Forgotten mate

    LUCIAN’S POV I pressed my back against the cold hospital wall, arms crossed so tightly over my chest that my knuckles ached. Xavier stood beside me, silent and still as a statue, but I could feel his occasional glances. Across the room, Darcy sat on the edge of Selena’s bed, holding her sister’s hand like she was afraid Selena would slip away again. Also because she was the only one Selena recognised.The doctor stood on the other side, a clipboard in his hand, asking questions in that calm, clinical voice that made me want to scream.“What is your full name?”“Selena Ravenwood.”Her voice was weak but steady. That was good.“Do you know where you are?”She hesitated. “A hospital. But how did i get here?”“Selena, what is the last thing you remember before waking up here?”She was quiet for a long moment. Darcy squeezed her hand. I held my breath.“I was…” Selena’s brow furrowed, her eyes distant. “I was getting ready for a date with Caius. I remember leaving my house, that's it. Di

  • VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge    Memory loss

    LUCIAN’S POVI froze as I slowly turned back to the doctor, my throat tightening all over again. “What is the bad news?” I forced out, my voice trembling in fear.The doctor’s expression shifted, it wasn't a sad expression but a look that meant the worst part hadn’t been spoken yet.He drew in a steady breath before he started, “Your mate sustained a significant head injury when she fell. The impact caused trauma near the temporal region, the part of the brain that affects memory and awareness.”My heart clenched but I didn’t interrupt him.He continued carefully, choosing every word like it weighed a ton. “This type of trauma can lead to complications. Some are temporary… some can linger. We won’t fully understand the extent until she wakes up.”I swallowed hard “Complications like what?”He hesitated, then answered honestly.“She may experience retrograde amnesia, meaning she could lose memories from before the fall. Sometimes weeks before or months before. In rare cases, as long as
