Chapter 31: The Vigil

The second time I woke, the fire had burned low, and the room was darker, and the weight of the blankets was heavy on my chest. I did not know how much time had passed. Maybe hours or days, but I knew that Alejandro was still there.He had not moved from the chair.But he had changed. His head was bowed, and his eyes were closed, and for a moment I thought he was asleep. His breathing was slow and steady, his hands were limp in his lap, and the tension in his shoulders had eased, just a little. The firelight cast shadows across his face, and I could see the exhaustion written there, in the lines around his eyes and the set of his jaw.Then his eyes opened, and they found mine immediately. It was like he had been waiting for me to wake, like he had been listening to my breathing and counting my heartbeats and holding himself together by sheer will."You should not be awake," he said. His voice was low and rough, and there was no anger in it,

Chapter 32: The Recovery

Three days passed after the poisoning, and my body finally started to feel like my own again.The weakness in my limbs faded slowly, the fog in my head lifted, and the taste of the healer's bitter tonic became almost familiar. I still get tired easily, and I still slept more than I was awake, but each morning I woke up a little stronger than the day before.Alejandro was not in the room when I opened my eyes.I did not know why that surprised me. He had been there every other time I woke, sitting in that chair with his golden eyes fixed on my face, watching me like he was afraid I might disappear if he looked away. But now the chair was empty, and the fire was low, and I was alone.A tray of food sat on the table beside the bed, and the bread was still warm, and the tea was still steaming. Someone had been here recently, and I knew it was not Alejandro.The door opened, and Camila slipped inside.She looked different than the last time I had seen her. The shadows under her eyes were d

Chapter 33: The kneeling

The night after Camila's visit, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at the fire, when I heard footsteps in the hallway.The guards did not announce him. They did not need to, because I already knew the sound of his boots by now, with the steady rhythm of his steps, and the weight of his stride. I knew the way he paused outside my door, hesitating, before he decided to knock.He knocked this time which was rare. He never knocked, because obviously he's king, and he doesn't need to."Come in," I said.The door opened, and Alejandro stepped inside.Then I noticed instantly that his behavior was different, and the way he moved had become slow, as if he was calculating his steps. This time I was very sure that he was not drunk, because I could smell the difference immediately. There was no trace of wine, and no hint of the haze that had been in his eyes that first night he kissed me. His hands were steady at his sides, his breathing was calm, and his golden eyes were clear.He was

Chapter 34: Night of passion

Alejandro’s lips found my neck, and I gasped at the feel of his mouth on my skin. His tongue was warm and soft, and his hands held my hips steady. He took his time, exploring every part of me, and memorizing every curve. I squirmed beneath him, as my body trembled with need. "Please," I whispered. He looked up at me, and his golden eyes were dark with desire. "Please what?" "I have never wanted anyone the way I want you," I whispered, with my fingers tangling in his hair. "And I have never let anyone see me the way I am letting you see me now, and it terrifies me because I do not know what happens after this, but I know I want to find out with you.” “Is that an invitation to go deeper, Serena?” he asked. I could not answer, because I did not have the words. He smiled, just a

Chapter 35: The morning light

Serena's POV Alejandro was still there when I woke up. That had never happened before.I woke slowly, the way you wake from a deep and dreamless sleep, with no memory of where you are or how you got there. The blankets were warm, the pillows were soft, and there was something heavy and warm pressed against my back.Then I remembered Alejandro.I opened my eyes, and the morning light was filtering through the window, pale and grey and soft. The fire had burned down to embers, and the room was cool, but I was not cold. I was not cold because his body was pressed against mine, his chest was against my back, and his arm draped over my waist.He was still here.He had not left in the night, and had not disappeared into the shadows like he always did before. He had stayed.I turned my head, and I found him watching me.His golden eyes were soft, softer than I had ever seen them, and there was no hardness in them, no coldness, and no mask. He was just looking at me, with his face relaxed, h

Chapter 36: The Warning from Ramona

I found Ramona in the library the evening after Felipe's words had settled into my chest like stones.She was sitting in her usual chair by the window, with a book open in her lap, but her old brown eyes were not moving across the pages. She was staring out at the snow, watching the flakes fall against the darkening sky, and she looked older than I had ever seen her.She did not look up when I entered, and she did not speak. She just sat there with her silver braid hanging over her shoulder, and her hands resting on the pages of a book she was not reading.I stood in the doorway for a long moment, trying to find the words. My mouth was dry, my throat was tight, and my hands were shaking the way they always did when I was afraid."I need to talk to you," I said.Ramona set her book aside, and the sound of it closing was soft, almost gentle, but it echoed in the silence like a stone dropped into still water. She studied me for a long moment, with her old brown eyes moving over my face,

Chapter 37: The Question About The Past

The days after Ramona's warning passed slowly, and I found myself watching Alejandro more than I used to. I watched the way he moved through the halls, the way he spoke to the guards, and the way he sat on his throne with his golden eyes scanning the room like he was looking for threats that no one else could see. He was always alert, always waiting, and always ready for something to go wrong. I had seen him sleep only a handful of times, and even then, his rest was restless. He would twitch and murmur, and sometimes he would wake with a gasp, his golden eyes wide and his hands reaching for something that was not there. I never asked what he dreamed about, because I was afraid of the answer. But I knew that his past haunted him. Three hundred years was a long time to carry wounds that never healed. He had been through three hundred years of watching, waiting, and never letting anyone close enough to see the

Chapter 38: The hidden library

The days after my conversation with Alejandro about his father left me restless.His words echoed in my head, and the image of his golden eyes, that were dark with pain, followed me everywhere I went. He had lost his father to betrayal, to a human who had pretended to be his friend, and I could not stop thinking about what that must have felt like.I needed to understand.Ramona had told me that knowledge was power, and I had spent too long being powerless. I had spent my whole life not knowing, not asking, and not pushing, because asking questions only ever led to pain. But this was different. This was not about my father or my past or the people who had hurt me. This was about Alejandro, and I needed to know what had made him into the man he was.The castle was vast, and I had only seen a fraction of it. There were corridors that stretched into darkness, staircases that led to towers I had never visited, and rooms that had been locked for centuries. The guards watched me as I walked

Chapter 39: Truth about the betrayal

I found Ramona in her chambers the morning after I discovered the hidden library.She was sitting by the window, with a cup of tea in her hands, and her old brown eyes were staring out at the snow. She looked tired, and older than I had ever seen her, and I wondered if she had been waiting for me to come.She did not look up when I entered, but she spoke anyway."You found it," she said. "Didn't you?"I closed the door behind me, walked to the chair across from her, and I sat down. The fire crackled in the hearth, and the shadows danced on the walls, and I could hear my own heartbeat in the silence."The hidden library," I said. "The book about Alejandro's father. About Aldric."Ramona closed her eyes, and she set her cup down on the table beside her. Her hands were shaking, just a little."I was wondering when you would find it," she said. "I hoped you would not, but I knew you would."Ramona set her cup down, leaned back in her chair, and her old brown eyes studied me with an intens

Chapter 40: silent comfort

I found Alejandro in the library again that evening, the main library, not the hidden one. He was sitting in a chair by the window, with his golden eyes staring out at the snow, and his hands were limp in his lap. He looked tired, his shoulders were tense, and I could see the weight of everything pressing down on him. He did not look up when I entered, but I knew he knew I was there. His breathing changed, just a little, and his hands curled into fists on his knees. I walked to the chair beside him, and sat down. Neither of us spoke, and the only sounds were the ones from the fire as it crackled in the hearth, and of the wind, as it howled outside the window, rattling the glass in its frame. The silence between us was heavy, and thick with everything we were not saying. He knew I had found the book. He knew I had read about Aldric, about his father, and about the be
