All Chapters of Revenge of the Rogue Queen: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

AroraI woke up feeling hopeful, which was very strange. Everything I had been going through since that moment Bernard declared me his mate had been very strange. I felt as if I was walking a tightrope, and one slip would cost me my life while still seeing this wondrous world around me that just wanted me to get off.The thought did occur that if I chose to stay with Bernard, I would never live in my old home again, which was probably what was holding me back. I didn’t want to leave my home. It was my home. I knew my mother wouldn’t be bothered either way, but I didn’t want to leave.I had spent my entire life trying to keep that building from falling apart. Almost as if I tried to keep my father’s reputation from falling apart. At that moment, I realized that was exactly what I was trying to do. By keeping the house safe, I wasn’t just taking care of my mother. I was holding onto a memory of my father that never existed!“Prince Bernard said you should wear something comfortable.” Th

HelenaSeeing Bernard in such distress was really painful, and it reminded me of the past and how much pain I was in. There had to be a way to make things easier for both of them, but if nobody had found a way yet, I couldn’t imagine us finding one now.I looked at Arora, then at her mother and I knew her mother would agree, but I wasn’t so sure about Arora. I also wasn’t sure if my son would be able to hold back. If he went too far, it could ruin Arora’s reputation. No, we couldn’t let him stay.“I’m sorry, son, but Arora hasn’t accepted you. We can’t let you stay.”BernardThe warriors threw me into my room with such force that I nearly lost my balance. So much for being a prince, but then again, I did find a way into the room without them knowing and Noah was probably going to make them pay for that.I needed to speak to Noah to make sure they didn’t get punished for something I did. I walked over to the window and noted four guards just waiting for me to try and jump again. I wasn

BernardMy heart raced as I handed her the book and Arora read the passage. This was the only way I could think of helping her to ease the heat. It was the only way I could think of protecting her without going through the mating ceremony.It was going to take a while to get the entire house done, and from her reaction earlier, it was clear that she didn’t want to leave her home. Neither did I, but I would do it if it meant being with her. I just didn’t think now was the right time to tell her that.“Okay, so you actually mark me, but it’s only temporary. It’s very strange.” She looked up as her voice pushed through my thoughts and I nodded.“When we bite to mark something in our venom changes. Some hormone or something. When it’s only a temporary mark, it’s different to the permanent one and also very different to a bite we would give someone to kill them. It’s all very scientific, and I didn’t go into that part too much when I was reading about it, but there is a difference in the h

AroraHis lips touched mine and my body instantly reacted. Traitor! His lips were soft and warm in the cold night air. His hands slipped down my back and pressed my body closer to his as soon as they reached my lower back. My arms circled around his neck and my fingers intertwined into his hair.His hair was softer than I thought it would be, and I realized it felt as though this wasn’t me, but at the same time, I was kissing Prince Bernard. He nipped my bottom lip softly, and I pulled away so fast that I not only shocked him, but myself as well.I turned to run, but he gripped my wrist and pulled me in with such force that I landed up against his chest. My breathing was ragged and my heart racing as I looked from his eyes to his full lips and back to his eyes. This time, when his lips touched mine, I wanted it even more.I wanted him. The images that flooded my mind while I was in heat flooded through my mind again, and I felt all of my resistance instantly crumble. When he nipped my

AroraAfter a lovely evening, it was strange to walk down the passage and stop in front of my room knowing I was marked, but we wouldn’t be sleeping in the same bed.“This is weird. It’s weird, isn’t it?” Bernard blushed bright red as he pushed his hands deep into his pockets.“It’s awkward, yes. It’s not what I envisioned. Not that I thought about us.” I quickly added, seeing the hurt in his eyes and sighed feeling guilty instantly. “Bernard, I haven’t rejected you because I wasn’t sure about my future. Which is the same reason I didn’t accept you either.”“You don’t have to explain. I understand. I just wish things were different.” He opened his mouth as though he was about to say something but closed it again.“Thank you for doing this for me, and I know you had something to do with the house, so thank you for that as well.” I tried to fill the awkward silence which had suddenly appeared. I had so many reasons why I should have rejected him before, but suddenly they all seemed so s
