All Chapters of Marked by Fate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Aiden’s PovFrom a distance, I could hear the loud sound of drums and music flying all over the place before we arrived at the palace. Fred and I approached the Palace with some of our guards and horses. Everywhere was bubbling. The fireworks being lit up at the sky bursted out different colors that brought out the beauty of the night. From what I saw, the celebration was flowing in full force and I could tell that the royal hunt festival had gotten to the greatest height. From the way the people danced, laughed, and sang, it seemed like everything was in the world was perfect.Yet, I felt something off inside me. While Fred rode on his horse behind me, a group of guards followed us behind. My chest felt very heavy as if something had been placed inside it even if I had tried to concentrate on the beautiful evening. It was not just because of the fact that I was exhausted from the long journey, but it was something else that I just couldn’t figure out. The people began to cheer l

Caine’s PovCassandra had done her part, and by now, Rose was probably gone. Even if she was not dead yet, she was very close to it. Thinking about it made my lips curl into a devious smile. Poor Rose. She was always fragile and hiding behind Aiden, who was her knight in shining armor. Now he was nowhere to be found. Not by her side. Not saving her. And even if he came back, it would be of no use to him. Cassandra had done a great job. Rose’s body would be hidden deep in the ground. It would take something more than love and loyalty for Aiden to bring Rose out of the grave. By the time he found her, if he ever did, she would be nothing but history. I could feel my plan all coming together for good.“A sound interrupted my thoughts. One of my guards appeared, bowing low. “Your Highness,” he said, his tone low and urgent. “The king has dismissed Beta Gerald. He wanted to rest. He is alone now.”My heart skipped and then pounded hard. Finally, My chance.I had been waiting for this o

Aiden’s PovJust as I was enjoying the moment I’ve craved all my life, that guard came to interrupt me. I wanted to tear out the door and the hinges, I swear. The way she looked at me with those wide and vulnerable eyes, and her lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to let me come in, not just physically but into her world and soul. For so long, I had waited for this closeness. Nothing else had ever ignited a fire inside me like the way her presence always did. Her red lush lips begged me to kiss her, they were just hard to resist. The way her plump cheeks curved, with deep dimples, they were just too enticing and impossible to let go. And her body… her curves, fitting very perfectly into my hands and the warmth that came from her skin totally drove me insane.I was no longer thinking straight. Before my mind reacted, my body already did. My cock was already hard and my entire body was ready to make love to her, to mark her and to show that she was mine and mine alone. For th

Rose’s PovIt’s been a few days since I got to Aiden’s room, and honestly, those first two days felt like forever. At first, the pain from my head wound had been unbearable and every time I tried to sit up, it throbbed so hard like a drumbeat, but I had been receiving proper treatment, and now I could finally feel myself getting stronger.With the way Aiden and Ivy had been taking care of me, I almost felt like a little child again. Ivy refused to leave my side. She paid the sacrifice of sleeping in the room with me every night even if I knew she was tired. I knew that she intentionally did it because she was worried about me and she wanted to act as a barrier between me and Aiden, if not we might just lose control. The way we arranged ourselves every night was almost very funny. Ivy and I slept on the bed while Aiden slept on the couch. Sometimes, when he thought I was already sleeping, I caught him gazing at me, his face soft and pitiful as though he wanted to come closer. But Ivy

Rose's POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open, and I found myself laying on the cold and damp ground. I tried to remember where I was and how I got here, for a while. My head was quite heavy and my shoulder had a dull pain. I blinked my eyes and scanned the room, then reality dawned on me that I was in the dungeon. I could perceive old blood, wet soil and rust in the thick air. A torchlight was flickering somewhere close to the entrance in the dark room. The way shadows reflected on the walls made the place look even scarier. I slowly sat up, my body was weak but my mind was fully alert. The worn out prison clothes were hanging freely on my body, it felt like I wasn’t even wearing any clothes at all and naked. They were rough and scratchy against my skin, making me feel very uncomfortable. I had to drag the clothes tighter around my skin as I felt exposed, shattered, and humiliated. Two guards were standing by the cage outside. Their arms were folded across their chest and their express
