All Chapters of My Fated Enemy: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

DEARONI sat in the tent studying the maps and old messages, marking the potential rogue lairs. Drawing a deep breath, I grabbed a pen and circled the area about two miles from our current camp. It was supposed to be the largest lair in the eastern part of my kingdom—one of the greatest threats to the eastern villages. Countless omegas from those villages had already lived in constant terror, fearing that one day, the Eudoris armies might attack. The least we could do was eliminate the rogues plundering their territories…I raked my fingers through my hair and leaned back against the tent's pole. Deep inside, I knew I was stalling, delaying the inevitable. I could have sent one of the newly trained squads of warriors to handle the rogues, but I had chosen to do it myself instead. I'd told myself it had been a better and safer option. The rogues were savage and unpredictable, and our new squads were… well… new and certainly inexperienced. The pathetic truth, however, was that I had oth

I could only guess, but getting the best rooms and food in every town must have been one of the perks of being the Alpha and the future king of Korendorr. Anyway, that was what had happened as soon as we appeared in Evenloor.The news of our arrival must have travelled with the wind because the town's elder, along with the tavern owner, the inn's owner, and the chief of the guards, rushed to welcome us before we even reached the center.After receiving an awkwardly official greeting, we'd been escorted to the finest rooms in the inn. Mine had a separate bath chamber and a small balcony overlooking the lake. It felt strange to end up in such luxuries after days of sleeping in tents or caves, but I sure as three hells wouldn't call that change unwelcome.A knock on the door sounded, and I rushed to open it. “Lady Kaira, I'm here to serve you,” said a blue-eyed blonde girl standing in the corridor. She couldn't be more than sixteen years old, yet she was dressed in a maid's uniform and c

“What?!” I jerked to my feet violently enough to lose my balance. My body swayed to the side, making me lean over and stumble toward the edge of the board—“Careful.” Dearon grabbed my hand, pulling me toward him.I might have regained my footing, but I was far from my inner balance. I felt as if the little world inside my mind had come crumbling down. All my beliefs—everything I had been fighting for—had turned into ashes, and Dearon's question?! How was I supposed to let him mark me?! He didn't even know who I was. If he knew…“I can't,” I choked out, pushing him away and walking toward the shore.“Kaira, wait!” He rushed after me, but I quickened my pace, desperate to put more distance between us. That, of course, didn't work. “Wait!” he growled, leaping in front of me to block my way.I halted, digging my heels into the ground. Only then did I realize I'd left my boots on the pier. Well… shit. Swallowing my flusteredness, I raised my head to face him. “You want to exchange a polit

KAIRAMy blood turned cold, and I had to remind myself how to breathe as I stared at the warrior before me. “It's a great honor to meet you,” I managed, summoning every ounce of my strength to refrain my hand from shaking as I extended it.Korad's golden eyes blazed, a faint smirk pulling at his lips. “I can assure you…” His large hand took mine, squeezing it gently. “The pleasure is all mine.”Dearon let out a low growl, and Korad's brows inched up. He released my hand in an instant and burst into laughter. “I misunderstood, I guess.” His eyes flickered between him and me. “I thought you said this lovely she-wolf is your advisor.”“She is,” Dearon said, locking his eyes on the warrior. “But she's also… more.”Korad's expression filled with unhidden shock. He looked at Torin then, as if needing his confirmation. When Torin nodded, Korad laughed again, this time even louder. Rafe snorted, and even Nazo and Torin apparently found Korad's reaction amusing. Was I the only one who found th

DEARONI looked through the window, watching the final red gleams of the setting sun as my anxieties grew. My muscles tensed. The voice of reason whispered that nothing bad would have happened to her in Evenloor. And yet, my instincts shouted I should look for her.Cursing, I turned around, my gaze falling to the table set for two with wine and food on it. This was supposed to be our evening—our night—my final moments before I would be forced to wear the crown…“Fuck.” I dragged my hand over my face and walked to the door. Then I exited my chamber, instantly recognizing her faint scent among many others who passed by recently. “Kaira?” I called out, scanning the empty corridor.No answer came. I strode to the opposite side, to her chamber. I knocked on the door, but no one opened, and no sounds came from the inside. I gritted out more curses as I ran downstairs, rushing through the hall. Finally, I saw Rika collecting dirty dishes from the dining table. “Have you seen Kaira?” I asked,
