Damien

“Don’t you think having one nurse is far too little help, your majesty?” Marcus, my guard, leaned in and whispered to me as the woman in the smudged-up, tattered dress walked over to us.

“Unlike the rest of the family, I’m fully capable of taking care of myself,” I replied. “I don’t need a bunch of handmaidens running about. Besides, I don’t think we need more people involved with me than necessary given the situation,” I murmured into his ear as the woman I’d picked reached me and timidly curtsied at me.

“What is your name?” I asked her, taking a moment to examine her. The mysterious woman’s forehead was dewy with sweat, her rust-colored hair a mess, legs scraped up, and her face had been smeared with a swipe of what looked like mud.

“Freya,” the woman replied meekly, and at the sound of her voice, I’d been caught by surprised when I’d felt a little twinge in my heart as she looked up at me, even in her soiled state. But I ignored it. Employing help wasn’t about pretty faces—

    Freya It had been two days since Damien had declared war on Nicholas, and it was the first day of come out of my fake quarantine. My stitches had been taken out, but I was still wearing a bandage on my cheek as I went about my business.I was very nervous to say the least, wondering if Nicholas and Damien had gotten into it, wondering if Helena or even Julian would be around the corner, ready to fuck with me again. But much to my surprise, everything had remained rather quiet.“Should I be worried?” I asked Marcus as I made Prince Damien’s bed.“Worried about what?”“Well, it’s obvious I’m a target,” I replied with a sigh as I fluffed the pillows. “Though it’s a shame that it has to be that way.”“Mmm…Let’s just say I don’t think he’ll bother you again,” Marcus said, and when I looked back at him, I saw I satisfied smile on his face.“What did you do?” I asked.“Me? I didn’t do a thing, actually,” Marcus asserted. “But if I were Nicholas, I’d surely back off.”I wonder what he means,

    Damien Though things had been a bit tense at the castle since I’d thrown myself at Freya like a lovesick pup, I was glad to be home. Matthew and the rest of the Darkstars threw some lovely parties and we had some amazing meetings about trade, brought them preventative medicines for the flu that hadn’t yet hit their pack. But Matthew himself was, in a word, unbearable.I had met Matthew plenty of times in passing, at parties at the castle, and I’d been there once as a young man with my father. But it had been the first time I’d actually dealt with him on my father’s behalf, and now I understood why.He was a pig.All he talked about was scoring with women, and it was so crude, it even made Marcus blush. I was glad that Freya didn’t have to be anywhere near him, the very thought that Leopold had chosen him for her boiled my blood, in fact.It just made me feel like I had to protect her even more. No matter what, she could not fall prey to the hands of her father nor Matthew. But in our

    FreyaI’d stayed up all night, Helena’s squeals of laughter repeating in my ringing ears as I laid there, door locked and covers pulled right up to my chin. I’d been stuck in fight or flight mode for hours, every little sound I heard causing me to jump as I wondered if they’d come and finish me off.The whole thing was confusing to say the least. I mean, at least with Princess Helena, I understood why Helena would have shot at me…that would have made sense. But Prince Nicholas? I was gobsmacked.Nicholas and I had never formally met. In fact, we’d never even exchanged a greeting, not even in passing. So why the hell would he, of all people, shoot at me? Why do half the people in this castle seem to be a closet psychopath?When I finally got up hours later to use the bathroom, I’d crept out of my bed slowly like a child scared of the boogeyman and pushed a chair up from my desk against the door. I then made it to my bathroom and checked out my face, and saw that what I’d thought to be

    Freya It had been days since I had rebuffed the prince’s advances, and things had become rather frigid between the Prince and I. Every time he saw me, his face would turn crimson, and his ways had gone back to a very formal tone, which had both simultaneously left me feeling a bit heartbroken and relieved.It made my job easier, sure. Few words spoken, getting right down to work and getting out of there. However, a part of me had really begun to miss the closeness and friendship that had started to seep in before he’d come at me all horned up. Hell, I even found myself replaying that kiss in my head at night when I was alone. But I knew deep down keeping it professional was in the best interest of everyone, even if it sucked.Marcus still hovered around me, and we’d become some sort of friends I suppose…It just wasn’t the same. There was no spark like there was with Lucy, and there certainly was no fire like there had been with Damien. We’d Just been two employees who were making the

    Freya I’d asked Greta—another nurse—to check on the prince, telling her I was sick and didn’t want to get the prince sick over the royal phone lines. At first, she’d bucked a little, but when I’d reminded her of the flu going around, she’d quickly obliged, much to my delight.It was then I’d hatched my plan as I sudsed up in the shower, thinking about how I could call Lucy. I knew the royal phones except in the offices of the royals didn’t allow for calls to the outside world as some sort of safety precaution, so that was a no go unless I wanted to be punished or accused of treason or espionage. So, my mind wandered a bit and I realized the next best thing since that damned thief had stolen my cell phone.A pay phone.While pay phones were rare as newer technology had caused them to fade into obscurity, I knew there was at least one in town. So, as everyone else in the castle slept, I gathered up some coins from my pay and put on my cloak and snuck out the back through the familiar h

    Damien “Your majesty?” Marcus called out as I practiced sword work on a practice dummy. My brother Nicholas had sparred with me earlier and gotten me pretty good, but my other brothers and cousin always seemed ‘far too busy to spar’.It honestly stung, because I deep down I knew that they really weren’t doing much of anything according to my father. So it just meant that they didn’t want to be around me, and my guess was that it was thanks to that evil bitch Evelyn.The source of all my pain.“Yeah?” I asked as I lifted the longsword, and the blade of it came down crashing on the dummy’s shoulder.“I have some interesting intel I’d like to share,” Marcus said as he shut the door behind him.“It’s that serious?” I asked as I turned around and saw the look on Marcus’s face.“Freya is Leopold’s lost daughter,” Marcus said, and I threw the long sword into the hay next to the dummy. “The one that short bolo was out on that mysteriously stopped short without finding her.”“She’s what?” I a
