Anna POVThe door slammed shut hard and it made the walls shake. Every muscle in my body got tight before I even looked up to see what was happening.It was dark outside the hideout. Night had come hours ago. It was so quiet. I could not hear anything outside the windows. I spent those hours thinking about my breaths of the time because time did not mean anything to me anymore. My wrists hurt where Steven had tied me up earlier. My back hurt too because of the baby I am carrying. I was so tired that just lifting my head felt like a lot of work.. When I saw Steven come in with something in his hand I was not tired anymore. I felt scared. My body reacted to it.Steven closed the door quietly. Locked it. The sound of the lock was loud, in the room."You are awake " Steven. He smiled.. His smile did not look real because it did not reach his eyes. "That is good " he said. "This will be easier if we do not have to wake you up."I leaned myself further back against the wall one hand going a

Lucian POVIt should have ended there.Instead, Steven laughed.The sound was weak, broken by pain, yet it carried the same poisonous arrogance that had followed him from the beginning.“You think you’ve won?” he rasped, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. “She still feared you. She left you because of me, and she’ll never forget what you are.”Something inside me went silent.I turned toward him slowly.Luke caught the change before anyone else did.“Lucian,” he warned quietly, “don’t.”I heard him.I just couldn’t answer.Steven stood up by holding onto the steel beam behind him and even though one side of his face was already swollen he still made a smile.“Go on " he said in a mocking way. "Show her the beast I warned her about."I moved toward him.Every careful step rang out on the floor and the hired men who were still awake naturally stepped back pressing themselves against the walls as if being far away might save them.Luke moved once trying to stop me. Then he stoppe

Anna POVOne of the men immediately knelt beside Steven’s motionless body before looking up.“He’s dead.”Luke was crouched next, to us his face getting more serious with every second he stared at Lucian."We have to move " he said slowly. "Now."Lucian gave a nod.Then he tried to get up.His legs almost collapsed under him.My heart stopped.He held onto the wall before anyone else could get to him and when he stood up again his breathing was clearly shaky."I'm fine.""You are absolutely not fine " Luke said away."I said…"Lucian took a breath."I'm fine."Blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.Two men carefully placed me onto a stretcher while another strong contraction hit my body so hard it made my vision go blurry.“No!”I reached out for Lucian without thinking.He quickly moved toward me even though Luke was trying to stop him.“Easy.”He grabbed my hand before anyone could.“I’m here.”“They need to take care of you.”“They will.”“You can’t even stand up.”A small smil

Anna POVThe morning after my daughter was born was really quiet. It did not feel like the night was already over.The room had a smell of medicine and clean clothes. The sun was shining through the curtains in lines across my bed. My body hurt. When I moved I remembered that I had a baby a few hours ago. It was hard to sit up.The doctor saw me trying to get out of bed.“Mrs. Sterling " she said softly putting down the papers she was holding. "You should be in bed.”“I have been in bed.”She smiled nicely.“You have only slept for a while.”“Then that is all the sleep I need.”I took the robe that was hanging beside my bed.“I want to see my husband.”Her face changed.“Lucian is still asleep.”“I know that.”“They are still helping him.”“I know that.”She came closer, to me.“You just had a baby. You are tired you lost blood. Your body needs to get better.”I looked at her without looking. I was thinking about my daughter and my husband, Lucian.The doctor was talking about my body

Anna POVLuke drew a slow breath before continuing.“The siege lasted longer than anyone expected,” he said quietly, his eyes fixed on Lucian instead of me. “Food became scarce, soldiers were exhausted, and every victory cost lives Lucian could never replace. He still refused to surrender because surrender meant slavery for everyone behind those walls.”I swallowed hard.“He carried all of that by himself?”Luke gave a faint shake of his head.“No king ever truly carries a kingdom alone, Mrs. Sterling. His generals stood beside him, his people never abandoned him, and every family contributed what little they had. But…” He paused, choosing his next words carefully. “The final decision was always his.”I looked down at my daughter, tracing one tiny finger with my thumb.“That’s an impossible burden.”“It was.”Luke’s voice held no hesitation.“And impossible burdens have a way of attracting impossible solutions.”A chill crept over my skin.“What happened?”Luke leaned back in his chai
