Lahat ng Kabanata ng All Is Fair In Love And Blood: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

{Liam’s POV}“The moss adds flavor. Trust me.”That was the last thing I heard before silence settled in and I stared at the female before me.It took me a moment to fully digest all the things she had said and another moment to understand that she had actually meant them.She was scared, or joking, or mistaking me for someone else.She had said those words directly to me, and now I was expressing a reaction I hadn’t had in a long time.Surprise.I stared at her still, expecting her to maybe tell me she was joking and start apologizing, but then she did none of that. Instead, she continued speaking casually, her voice bright and not anywhere near trembling.“Okay, maybe offering you mossy bread wasn’t such a good idea but then you really came at the wrong hour, my Prince.” She gestured at her chains. “I can’t be more receptive than this.”I ran my gaze over her once more and returned it to her face. This one is definitely odd.“My Prince?” She prompted now and I actually realized th

{Ragna’s POV}Voices rang before I saw the bodies that owned them.But soon, that suspense was answered as two men barged into the scene, along with three other females of whom the head Iron Warden was among.“Look at her! You can tell just from that dirty expression.” One of them throated, disfiguring his face like he was staring at me with vomit on my hair. I stared back at him like he was the vomit itself.Freak!“She has to die at once!” The second roared in a practically stupid voice. Both men barked like dogs but were held back by the bars before me as it looked like they couldn’t wait for me to be dragged out. Meanwhile, the head Iron Warden was the one with the key and she approached slowly.We made eye contact and I didn’t expect a comment from her but then she spoke.“You were odd from the very start and I was right when I thought you wouldn’t last. Fingerling.” She said now, making reference to the Bone Yard scene where I had spoken up and challenged Selene when I wasn’t

{Ragna's POV}Waking up bruised should honestly qualify as my profession at this point.My ribs ached.My shoulders ached.My chin still throbbed from where the Head Iron Warden had planted her fist to my face yesterday. Meanwhile, the crowd had also contributed generously to my other sufferings. And they did it together. Very community-oriented people.I shifted slightly against the wall and instantly regretted it as pain stabbed through my side.Okay.Moving is a bad idea.The Arena grounds above and the dungeon was quieter today.Not peaceful. This place would never qualify for peace unless every stone developed intention and every person inside died. But compared to yesterday’s chaos? This was silence.No screaming.No madness.No people demanding my head like it was some festival delicacy.Just torchlight crackling faintly against stone walls while heat lingered in the stale air.I sat there for a moment, staring ahead while my body negotiated with itself.Still hurt but alive.

{Ragna’s POV}I barely slept.Not because the kennel was uncomfortable. Honestly, discomfort had become such a constant part of my existence now that my body barely protested anymore.It was the noise.The heat.The smell.Someone near the far side of the kennel snored like they were fighting for survival inside their sleep. Another kept grinding her teeth loud enough to sound like bones snapping. Somewhere behind me, a female randomly muttered aggressively in her dreams. Peaceful environment.I lay there staring upward at the low ceiling while damp heat clung to my skin unpleasantly.Morning was here, hence my Arena re-entry was impending. I took in a heavy breath and poured it out. Bitter-sweet. A loud metallic bang suddenly shattered through the kennel moments later.“MOVE!”Several females stirred immediately while Iron Wardens marched through the narrow kennel lanes like irritated.“If your name was selected yesterday, get up and follow now!”No preparation.No warning.No ge

{Ragna’s POV}Lying there on the ground with my vision hazy and my focus twitching, I told myself I was fucked. Paige apparently agreed.Because before I could properly recover, several pounds of angry woman landed on top of me.The air rushed from my lungs in a painful burst as her weight slammed me back into the sand. Then the punches started.One struck my cheek.Another caught my jaw.The third crashed against my forehead hard enough to make the entire Arena flicker for a second.I threw my forearms up immediately, trying to shield my face while Paige continued hammering blows downward. Some of them landed against my guard. Others slipped through anyway.Meaning, pain was exploding repeatedly through my skull… and the crowd loved every second of it.Their roars crashed around us while Paige snarled above me like she had finally found her purpose in life.Unfortunately, that purpose appeared to be my death.A fist slipped through my defense now and smashed into my mouth.
