FELYNDRA

The last couple of days, I spent more time with Nightbane. We barely interacted. I just stayed in his study, studying his weaknesses like a book. To him, I was being warm, and to me, it was something different.

I admit I was swayed for a moment by his confessions; I wanted to hear them over and over again.

They were sweet. Bittersweet and bubbling, they gave me goosebumps.

But they didn’t erase the anger and hatred in my heart.

I would still break the bond.

I would feed him the soup two more times and leave, but until then, I have to find Selene.

I flipped through another book and dropped it.

“Are you heading out?” He asked as I got up to leave.

I halted and turned around with a weak smile.

“I’ll be in the library.” I answered and opened the door, feeling his eyes on my back.

The door closed behind me, and I exhaled. I didn’t know how long I was going to keep up with the fake smile.

My legs took me to the library, and the smell of old books welcomed me. I could spend an entir

    NYXORATwo days before.I heard the king’s beta had arrived from his trip. We weren’t close friends, but thinking about the events that had been happening, I needed an ally. Besides, what better time to ask for Nightbane’s forgiveness than the time he’s happy for the arrival of his most trusted friend?I didn't apply any rouge. I wanted him to know how I was, except I wasn’t.I would tell him that I would fix the rumour, and if he asked how? Then I would say, “It was a rumour to distract our enemies. To make them think we are vulnerable.”Nightbane would believe it. He might even want to have me amongst his counsels about war and would start seeing me through different eyes.I’m intelligent, and the breeder is not.I walked as regally as I could. Got a few glances from servants but paid them no attention. As much as I hated looking ugly without makeup, I had no choice but to do this.Everything I’ve worked for was at stake.Sooner or later, my parents would know I wasn’t their child,

  • Wolf’s Bane and Roses 🌹    52: The offer

    FELYNDRAThe gate opened for the first time, and I staggered to my feet. Two guards walked in along with Nyxora’s handmaid.My heart raced in my chest. To say I wasn’t scared meant I was lying.Anna undid the bind in my hands. Her face was even crueller than that of Nyxora.“Follow me.” She instructed.The guards held the doors open, and I followed Anna, withLegs threatening to succumb to the trembling ground.As we walked up from the dungeon, I realised even if I had screamed all day and night, no one would hear me. There was a reason it was called the dungeon.“If I were you, I would hide where no one would see me.”I halted in my tracks. Did I just hear her speak?Nyxora’s maid had never spoken to me before. Even if she had, not in this manner.“Get moving,” She nudged her head, and I snapped out of whatever daze I was in, and the nerves in my feet started working again.“The Luna is dangerous,” she said, turning into another hallway.“You can’t win her.” She added, and my lips pa

  • Wolf’s Bane and Roses 🌹    51: Passed out

    FELYNDRAI seeped back into consciousness. The ground was cold, biting my skin. The stench of urine filled my nose, and I was pulled back to the whips slashing my back.“Please, Nyxora. Don’t.” I had begged Nyxora. Body trembling from what she was going to do to me. I had seen what she did to tribute women. I was sure of what she could do to me.A cough got blocked in my throat as she grabbed my neck and pressed it so hard my eyes dilated.“Luna. Bitch!” She spat, and her spit drooled down my face.“I won’t remind you again.” She warned and shoved me away violently.“Tie her up and throw her in the well.” She ordered, and a scream tore from my mouth.“Noooooo!”“Please!” I begged, my body shivering from fright and the trauma of being dipped inside a basin of freezing water my first day here by Nightbane.“Do it now!” She commanded, and the water swallowed another scream of plea from me.I couldn’t trash. Couldn’t fight.My limbs were tied. And I felt the world close in on me. I was go

  • Wolf’s Bane and Roses 🌹    50: I am jealous

    NYXORA I had always wanted to kill this woman.But now, I don’t even want her dead. I wanted her to suffer and die slowly after calling me disrespectfully by my name.Nothing gladdens me to see the tears on her face. However, it also irritated me. “Pull her out.” I ordered the guards.They pulled the wench out of the well, drenched and immobile.“Check if she’s still breathing.” I said and one of the guards pressed a finger against her neck.“Still alive, Luna.” I exhaled in relief.“Lock her up in the dungeon and throw away the key.” I turned around and left. Tonight, I can attend the pack banquet and breathe well without running mad with thoughts of her.I stepped into the night, adorned with jeweries that complimented the greeness of my dress. I entered the royal carriage and met Nightbane. His eyes bulged, as if he had seen a ghost. What was he thinking? Was he expecting someone else?“Thank you for the beautiful dress, alpha-king. Felyndra delivered it to me.” I said, bowin

  • Wolf’s Bane and Roses 🌹    48: Her Stench

    NIGHTBANE And now, you have lost. Me.” I spat with pain in my chest. In my soul.Those words cut deeper than a dagger. The pain in her eyes called for my soul.I messed up, and I wasn’t sure if this was the right way to clean up my mess. If this was the right way, then I was doing a bad job because I just ruined things even more.Seeing her every day gave me hope.“I haven’t lost her yet. As long as she is still under the same roof with me.” I told myself and blended into the shadows.“Alpha king,” came Ryan’s voice, and I dropped the feather coated with ink on the desk.I sealed the letter and handed it over to him.“Can you deliver this?” I asked him, and he nodded his head bravely.“Send this to all the packs of Grithim. Don’t forget…”“Contact you whenever I sense danger.” He said, and I nodded, pleased by him.I patted his shoulder and watched him leave.Ryan has grown. He grew too fast.Looking at him reminded me of my sister. I was glad a piece of her still existed, and for th
