When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 40- Rage
Beatrice’s PovI slid off the bed slowly, my legs stiff and sore as my feet touched the cold floor. The room felt different in the daylight, less monstrous but no less oppressive. Dark stone walls rose high around me, decorated with banners bearing Cedrick’s crest. Heavy furniture dominated the space, carved and imposing, each piece designed to command rather than comfort.This wasn’t a bedroom meant for rest. It was a throne disguised as a private chamber, built to remind anyone inside it who held power.As I turned, I noticed a door I hadn’t fully registered the night before. I approached it cautiously and pushed it open, only to freeze where I stood.The bathroom beyond it was enormous.It was larger than the entire bathing chamber in my family’s castle, and the sight of it stole my breathShelves lined the walls, filled with oils, soaps, and towels softer than anything I had ever touched. There was a dressing area as well, complete with mirrors framed in silver and a long counter
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 39- Ashes of the Past
Cedric’s PovYes, someone like me deserves to lose everyone who loves me, to lose everyone I love, to live alone for the rest of my life, and to die a miserable death.Beatrice lay on my bed, shaken and silent, her eyes wide with fear and confusion. For a brief moment, I had seen something in her expression that unsettled me. Not defiance. Not hatred. Something else.Tears fell onto his fingertips. I felt a sudden sharp pain in my heart for a moment.I left her.I turned away before it could weaken me.I walked the halls of my castle without direction, my footsteps echoing against stone floors polished by centuries of conquest. Torches burned steadily along the walls, casting long shadows that stretched and twisted as I passed. Servants bowed and guards straightened, but no one dared speak to me. They could feel it. The storm under my skin.My wolf paced inside me, restless and angry.Then Henry reminded me: "You must never regret it." I shouted irritably, telling him to get out.The
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 38 – Broken Promises
Beatrice's POVCedrick caught my ankle and pinned it to the mattress. Then the other. His weight settled over me, and the fight went out of my legs but not out of my eyes. I glared up at him with every ounce of hatred I could gather, and I wanted him to see it. I wanted him to know that whatever he took from me, he would never take my willingness.My wolf had gone quieter now, not silent but watchful, pressed low inside me and waiting for an opening. She had never submitted to anyone before, and she wasn't about to start tonight.Cedrick did not hesitate.He took my stillness as permission. He moved onto the bed and pulled me toward him, his grip rough and unforgiving. I flinched as his hands found the collar of my shirt. His fingers closed around the fabric and pulled, and the sound of it tearing was loud and final in the quiet room.Cool air hit my skin. I tried to turn my face away, but his hand caught my jaw and held me there, forcing me to look at him while his other hand pushe
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 37 – First Night with the King
Beatrice's POVCedrick did not look back at me after delivering his verdict. He turned sharply and addressed the guards instead."Take her," Cedrick said once more before leaving the dungeon. "Bring her to the castle. Immediately.""Don't you dare touch me!" I yelled as the guards grabbed my arms and forced me to my feet, but I managed to break free and make a run for the door.I barely made it two steps when Cedrick grabbed me by my wrist.His strength was unimaginable. He spun me around and looked me dead in the eye. "You're mine now."As if to seal his words, he pressed his mouth to mine.There was nothing tender in it. Nothing searching or uncertain. It was a claim, plain and brutal, his lips hard against mine while his hand held the back of my neck so I couldn't pull away. He kissed me the way a man signs a document, with finality, as though the act itself made it true.He turned my first kiss into a nightmare.There had been a time when I allowed myself to have fantasies about h
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 36 – Second Book Of The Series- Slave To The king
Beatrice's POVThe chains around my wrists loosened with a dull click. The sudden lightness made my arms feel wrong, unsteady."Remove your clothes."The voice was calm. Uninterested. That frightened me more than anger ever could.Blindfolded, I stood still, my heart pounding. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know who was watching. I only knew that resisting without sight or strength would be pointless.I swallowed and nodded.My fingers shook as I untied the knots. Each piece of clothing hitting the floor felt like another shield stripped away. I focused on breathing, reminding myself that survival mattered more than pride. I had been raised to endure humiliation if it protected something greater. Right now, that something was my life.When I finished, I wrapped my arms around myself. The air felt cold against my skin.Hands reached up and pulled the blindfold away.Light burned behind my eyes. I gasped, blinking hard until shapes sharpened: stone walls, iron bars, torchlight flic
When I’m Gone, You Love Chapter 35 The Price
Author‘s POVTen Years LaterElena moved through her forms with a fluid grace. Her body was strong now, muscled and lean from all her training. "Keep your guard up!" she called to the young couple sparring before her. "Mira, stop making eyes at your mate and focus. He's not going to go easy on you just because you're pretty."Mira laughed, ducking under her partner's swing. "He'd better not. I'd lose all respect for him."Her mate grinned and pressed his attack. They continued like that as Elena showered praises on them."Elena."Elena turned to find her father approaching with two cups in his hands. His hair had gone fully silver in the years since she'd awakened, but his eyes were still warm. Still full of the quiet joy that had defined their relationship for as long as she could remember.Which, admittedly, wasn't very long at all."Taking a break?" He handed her one of the cups, chilled tea, sweetened with honey the way she liked it."Just for a moment." She took a long drink, s

Elena’s povLydia didn't wait to be invited in.She stepped past Blake like he wasn't even there, her heels clicking against our hardwood floors. "I'm here in my capacity as Chief Warrior," she announced, smoothing her dress as she surveyed our living room. "A formal visit."Blake moved to block h
