All Chapters of Once His Bully. Now His Whore: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

For much of the long journey, I found myself turning over what she had wanted to tell me.Whatever it was, it had mattered enough to do that to her, and that alone told me it was not small.Was there something about that bastard she had yet to tell me? Something he held over her? I turned the possibilities over in my mind.Eventually, I forced them aside and concentrated on the journey ahead. There was nothing I could do from the road, and pressing her before she was ready would only make matters worse. When I returned, I would revisit it.Five hours later, our carriage rolled through the outer limits of the capital, and I understood why many simply called it “Urai” and left the distinction to scholars.The capital was the heart of the kingdom, the largest of all Urekai cities. Every city had its own governing body, of course, but all of them answered here, to the four Grand Rulers of all Urekai.“Where to, my lord?” the carriage master called.“The inn.” Ravenshadow Fortress was said

“No, wait—” the third ruler began."I believe you have all mistaken me for someone else." My voice came out rough. "I do not know who this Uriel is." I took another step. “It appears he died during the Eclipse Moon Night tragedy, and I am genuinely sorry for that loss. But I was not yet born at that time."My mother had been a few weeks pregnant with me by then, but I kept that to myself. It was not the point. “Now, if you will excuse me.” I turned away.“Please. Just wait.”Something in the third ruler’s voice stopped me, though I did not turn around.The plea was desperate, but there was resignation beneath it too, as though he already expected me to keep walking.“Thank you,” he said softly. “Please, if you do not mind me asking, how old are you?”I opened my mouth to answer, then paused. Instead, I asked flatly, “How old was your son when he died?”Behind me, Lady Morina’s crying worsened. A pang struck my chest. I ignored it.“Uriel was one thousand five hundred and twenty-thre

Had I been too hopeful?Too foolish in believing this day would never come? That I never have to look up again and find this face staring back at me?I wished I could pretend my world had not just ended. That I could hold myself together, stand firm, and become the lion instead of what I became the moment these people appeared. But my body had never listened to what I wished when it came to them. It reacted before thought could intervene, broke before I could brace. And they had always counted on it.The back of my eyes burned as I watched Vido move slowly forward."Do not worry,” he said in a voice almost gentle. “I chose this day with care. Your plaything is on the other side of the world. It is just the two of us."My jaw locked so tightly I forgot how to open it."You have been a very naughty girl, sweet Eve. Giving Jolan’s property away to Cel’theren whenever it pleased you.” He clicked his tongue. “Just so you know, he is not happy with you. You will feel his wrath when we retu

LORD REVANDRELAll I smelled as my feet pounded the ground was that fucker's blood. I wanted more of it. To tear him apart piece by piece, and drink it from the source.His death rode the wind ahead of me, and I chased it with single-minded hunger. Vido was good at running, but I was skilled at chasing prey.Seeing Baevera half-naked, bruised, crying and shaking, terror filling her eyes, had driven me past fury. Ignited something so violent inside me that even my beast struggled to contain it. My yellow vision burned with streaks of red fury. Every beat of my heart pumped inferno through my veins.That bastard's skin was still embedded under my claws, his blood painted my bronze hide, but neither was enough. I was bloodthirsty, and I would not rest until I bathed in that his fucking blood.Snarling, I cut through the trees. All my senses were pulled inward, focusing on his trail. His scent was fading… intentionally, I realized. The mongrel was using neutralizing powders.Clever. He ha

LADY BAEVERAThe pain reached me before anything else did. It was not as blinding as it had been the night before, but still a comprehensive ache in my face, ribs, and throat. I lay still for a moment, taking stock of it, before opening my eyes.“Bae, are you awake?”My head turned, following the sound of that voice until Helory’s worried face came into view.“Hills...” I trailed off weakly.“I am here.” She leaned closer, taking my hand between both of hers and pressing a kiss to my knuckles. Tears shone in her eyes. “I am right here.”“I am fine. Do not worry too much.”Her lips wobbled, and a sob burst from her before she caught it and swallowed it back down.“Oh, Hills. I am sorry.”“For what? None of this is your fault. Not one piece of it.” She said in a fierce tone. "Those wicked, covetous males who believe females exist for their use, are at fault. Bastards who deserve to be castrated and strung up in the public square for all to see. None of this falls on you. Do you hear me?
