"Wait," I shouted before they could drag her out of the room.For a split second nothing moved. The guards slowed as if someone had pressed a hand against the world. Raymond's eyes bored into mine and the smirk on his face widened."You want to speak?" he asked, voice soft enough that it should have been kinder than the situation warranted. "Say it then."I swallowed against the leather biting into my wrists. Words wanted to come, pleas and bargains I could make to trade my life for hers but the bond thrummed under my skin like a living thing and clogged my throat."You don't have to-" I rasped."Let her live, I will do anything you tell me", I added.At my words, Raymond tilted his head, studying me the way a predator studies a wounded animal.Finally, he laughed. It wasn't loud, but it made my heart pound more."Anything?" He sarcastically asked. He then stepped closer and his shadow fell over my knees. "Very well."For a breath I thought the worst had been avoided that bargain migh

RAYMOND'S POVI walked towards my chambers with my mind fully occupied with thoughts. It was already very late, past midnight. I had work to do but my mind was filled up with Aurora. I didn't mean it when I ordered the guards to kill her mother or use her mother as a whore. I just wanted her to be submissive and start fearing me like the others.Her courage, stubbornness, defiance was driving me crazy. She was the daughter of my enemy but yearning for her was becoming unbearable. Without giving it a second thought I made my way to her room."You lastly learned a lesson", l spoke as soon as I entered in her room. "I will not learn until I am dead", Her response shocked me to the core. I had a thought that she was already asleep but I was wrong. It was already late but she was awake looking up at the ceilings. She was already done with showering and probably she was again defiantly plotting another idea in her head. She wanted to run away from the room."I know what you thinking about b

"Now kiss me", He said. I instantly froze up at his words. I squeezed my eyes so tight like it would be helpful. "Am not going to kiss you", l snarled. "Actions speak louder than words", With in seconds he flipped me over on to my back and then he was on top of me. His lips were on mine and his body hard over mine.I struggled , pushed him for a moment but he was strong. His lips were soft but he was rough. He got my bottom lip between his lips and sucked on it. I couldn't breathe but l didn't dare open my mouth. He made an " mmh " sound against my lips but that didn't change me. He roughly kissed me for a pretty good time but he lastly broke it."You didn't kiss back but you gonna get a pass tonight", He groaned then he flipped back so that I was back on top of him. His hands were on me , one on my lower back and the other in my hair. I couldn't move. My cheek was against his chest and his legs were parted. Our pelvises were touching . He was so rock hard and just feeling his hard er

Aurora’s POVWarm light pressed against my eyelids, soft and steady. For a long moment, I didn’t move. I didn’t even want to. The stillness felt safe, an illusion, maybe but I wanted to hold on to it.When I finally opened my eyes, the room was quiet, the curtains drawn halfway to let in streaks of gold evening. Another end of the day trapped in his world.My body ached in strange places, not from pain but from exhaustion that went deeper than sleep could fix. I turned on my side, clutching the pillow. The faint scent of him still clung to the sheets, so musky, and it made my stomach twist. I wanted to bury my face and scream, to let the sound tear through me, but instead, I stayed silent.Slowly, I pushed myself up, wrapping the blanket around me. My throat felt dry, I was so hungry. I stared up at the ceiling. The worn wooden beams above offered no comfort, no answers, just a dull emptiness that mirrored the restlessness swirling in my chest.Times like this I began to wish I was a

AURORA'S POVConsciousness returned like a slow tide cold and reluctant. My eyes opened and I glared at the familiar walls, I'd bolted from hours before and the shitty scent of Raymond that was on the bedsheets.My body felt weak and a slow bloom of pain was tracing across my ribs where the guards gripped me yesterday. My wrists tingled so much but it was Raymond's words that disturbed me more. His voice was in my head: I'm killing you the moment you done giving birth.I pushed myself up on one elbow. Dizziness washed over me; the room tilted. I blinked hard and took in the bathroom door.For a heartbeat I let myself forget everything. I really needed a shower.I swung my legs off the bed, testing my strength. They trembled but held. I moved quietly, every breath measured. Pain flared with movement; the bruise at my hip reminded me I'd been carried.I crept to the door and opened it.The thought of standing under hot water, even for a few minutes, felt like the only piece of sanity le
