All Chapters of FATED TO HIS DARKNESS : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Kael’s POVBy midnight, the castle had gone completely quiet. I moved silently through the dark corridors.The torches along the stone walls burned low, their flames flickering softly against the cold stone. Most of the guards had already taken their night positions, and the halls that had been filled with noise during the feast were now eerily silent.But my instincts refused to rest.Something was wrong.Ever since the banquet, a strange feeling had settled in my chest. The moment I saw Amara staring into the distance as though she was seeing something none of us could see, the unease had only grown stronger.I had learned long ago to trust my instincts. They had kept me alive through wars, betrayals, and more assassination attempts than I could count.I saw a figure in black moving silently near the courtyard walls. I moved faster, closing the distance. Within seconds, I had the figure pinned to the ground. The man struggled violently, trying to break free, but my grip was merciles

KAEL’S POV The infirmary reeked of blood and herbs. I stood at the far end of the room, my gaze fixed on Adrian’s pale, trembling form. Each shallow breath seemed heavier than the last, I could feel my chest tighten. The healer approached me cautiously. “My king… we do not understand it,” he said. “There is no visible poison, no fatal wound. Yet… he vomited blood. His body is failing.” My jaw clenched. “You’re telling me you don’t know what’s killing him?” “We are still searching,” the healer replied. “Then keep searching,” I cut in sharply. “Run every test. Use every method. I don’t care what it takes.” My eyes flickered back to Adrian. “And make sure he stabilizes too.” The healer nodded, bowed his head. I turned and walked out. Amara sat in the walkway, shoulders trembling. Her red, swollen eyes lifted to mine as I approached. I took her hand gently. She flinched, startled. Tears fell freely, and I wiped them away without thinking. Her lips moved, but

KAEL'S POV Before dawn, I left the room quietly, careful not to wake her. “Double the guards,” I ordered the moment I stepped out. “No one enters this chamber wing without my permission.” The guards straightened immediately. “Yes, my king,” one of them said, bowing. There shouldn’t be anyone near that part of the castle in the first place. It was reserved—for me… and my mate. As I descended the stairs, I reached out through the mind link. Is everything ready? Liam’s response came almost instantly. Yes. A slow smirk tugged at my lips. Good. Today wouldn’t be like the others. We’ll give them something to remember. There was a brief pause before Liam responded, amusement lacing his tone. I thought you’d say that. Breakfast was already ready when I arrived. The long dining hall was filled with platters of roasted meat, buttered bread, fresh fruits, and goblets of deep red wine. Maids stood at the sides waiting, along with a few guards. I acknowledged greetings with brie

Amara’s POVI walked to the dungeon without slowing.The guards at the entrance straightened the moment they saw me. Shock flashed across their faces before they masked it. They hurried to open the main gate and moved steps ahead of me to lead the way.Halfway down the corridor, I stopped.“Do you know why I’m here?” I asked coldly.They exchanged a glance. “Yes, my queen. Alpha Cassian… and his sister.”“Lead the way.”The air grew heavier as we descended. Torches burned low along the stone walls, their smoke clinging to the ceiling. The corridor smelled of rust, damp earth, and something dead. Other prisoners shifted behind their bars as we passed, but their cells were angled away from the inner chamber. None of them could see into the section we approached.The guards unlocked the final door and stepped in first. I followed.Aurelia looked nothing like the composed woman I remembered. Her hair was mishelved, her face and her clothes creased and stained from days in confinement. But

Kael’s POV I never planned to execute Aurelia. Not yet. But Cassian knew one thing about me, I do not bluff. And I knew him just as well. He would never sit still while his sister rotted in my dungeon. So I waited. It happened that night. By the time the alarm reached me, it was already too late. The guards stationed at the dungeon door were dead. They had come for her, cutting down anyone in their path. They freed Aurelia… and tried to reach Cassian. But I had already moved him. His cell was no longer where they expected, and the new location was heavily guarded. When they saw the cell empty, they chose to escape without him. By the time they reached the outer walls of the castle, we were already waiting. They froze the moment they saw us. My warriors surrounded them from every side. There was no escaping. My gaze swept across them… and then stopped when I saw a familiar figure. At the front stood a woman cloaked in black. I tried to catch her scent, to unveil her iden
