KARI'S POV She didn’t move.Instead, her gaze drifted to my limp, then to the faint discoloration beneath my eyes. “You don’t look well,” she observed. “Death doesn’t become you at all.”“I doubt it becomes anyone,” I snapped.“Hmm, not me though.” Indira laughed. “I always look fabulous, better than you. Titan agreed.”My fingers clenched at my sides. “Right. Well I'm not in the mood to listen to you reminisce about what used to be.”She stepped closer instead, her boots whispering against the stone floor. “You know,” she continued lightly, “I always wondered what it would take to break you. Turns out it’s not a blade or my sharp tongue.”Indira waved a hand over me, chuckling again, Just hopelessness.”I moved closer to the bed and sat slowly, biting back a hiss as a sharp pain flared through my abdomen. I leaned back against the pillows, refusing to let her see how much it hurt.“You failed,” Indira continued, her mouth curving cruelly. “At killing yourself, I mean.”My head snapp

KARI'S POVI heard the keys jangle from outside before the door was thrown open unceremoniously.My fingers tightened on the window’s ledge as I gritted my teeth. I didn’t need to turn around to know who stood there. The danger he exhuded made my skin crawl everytime.“Kari…how do you feel?”Fighting the urge to not press a hand over my stomach, I exhaled through my mouth and swallowed.“Why?” I snapped, still without turning to look at him. “Are you checking to know if I'm ready for you to force yourself on me again?”“Quit the foolishness, Kari,” Titan barked harshly. “If I wanted to take you to my bed forcefully, I wouldn't care about your health.”“Is that so?” I goaed with heavy sarcasm.“Yes it is. I was good to you so stop being so hardheaded!”“Right, I suppose I should thank you for not dishonouring me then.”“Well you have very little honour left after you gave your body to a banished beta!” Titan fumed. “And not only that, you carried his bastard!”“Carried?” I blurted o

KARI'S POV Dinner stretched on like a punishment that refused to end. And it had nothing to do with the food.The supper was rich, with the meat glazed in honey and herbs, and the warm bread that smelled faintly of butter.There was a dark wine poured into a goblet I didn’t touch and instead took healthy sips of my water each time the delicious food refused to go down. Every bite sat heavy on my tongue. Titan watched me the entire time, his gaze intruding and far too disturbing.He ate slowly, deliberately, like a man savoring control rather than flavor.Swallowing a morsel, I straightened and began pushing my plate away but his voice stalled me.“You’ll eat everything,” Titan stated.“I can't eat anymore,” I replied, shaking my head.“Yes you can, you've barely eaten at all.” I raised my head and our gaze locked as he continued. “Kari, I hate how bony you are now. Makes you look sickly.”There was a moment of hesitation on my part as I battled the tears threatening to slip out.

VIKTOR'S POV One moment I was standing, swaying, arguing softly with my hallucination of Kari, where she was telling me to go back home and not to keep trying the impossible.And the next moment, the ground rushed up to meet me.And darkness swallowed everything.A wet, snuffling sound dragged me back to consciousness.My eyes snapped open just as hot breath washed over my face.“Ah!” I cried out with a shocked gasp, as sharp teeth suddenly dug into the flesh of my neck.Too many teeth.With a grunt, I shoved, ignoring the slice of hot pain that coursed through my neck as I bolted up, stumbling a bit.I barely had time to register the bloodhound towering over me before it lunged.I rolled aside instinctively, pain screaming through my ribs as its jaws snapped shut where my throat had been a heartbeat earlier. The creature snarled, a low, guttural sound that vibrated through the ground, its red eyes fixed on me with hunger that sent cold fear trickling down my spine.The creature wa

INDIRA'S POV I watched her from the window. My chest painfully tight.Kari moved slowly along the garden path below, the late afternoon sun spilling over her hair like molten gold. The scullery maid walked beside her, close enough that their shoulders brushed now and then, speaking softly, her head bent in a familiar, devoted way that made my teeth grind.I suppose they are friends now. I scoffed at the thought. I would definitely not put it past Kari to befriend a lowly servant. She should have been dead.Instead, there she was…alive, back to taking walks. I sucked in a pained breath as I squinted at her smiling face. I hated it. I hated my sister more than I’d ever hated anyone before.Once upon a time, I thought I'd finally stolen it all from her. Her mate chose me over her. Hee parents took my side over hers, she only ever had Bianca. But now, it was beginning to feel like nothing.Those victories hadn't lasted as much as I thought they would.My fingers curled into the stone l
