Fredrick’s POVI mentally prepared myself for my next words. They were going to be a lot harder on me than she would ever know.“You’ve helped enough.” I said looking right into her eyes.It dawned on me right then that I might need to say something drastic before she would actually stay away from this place and everything that had to do with Olpheus and his mate.“You’re the reason I’m even here in the first place.” The words were harsh. They sounded wrong, even to my own ears. I wanted to take it back when I saw the heart broken look on her face, but it was too late, the words had already been said.“Oh.” I could tell that she said it as a reflex. She was stunned, that much was obvious.She looked around the cold empty dungeon like it would give her the words to say. I looked at her, not knowing what to say to make things better.“I…” she trailed off, looking at a loss for words. She cleared her throat and started again. “I didn’t mean to.” She said, looking anywhere, but at me. “

“Please don’t go, my lady.” I froze in place when I heard the words of the maids. They sounded so vulnerable. I looked back at Olpheus.He was looking right at me with that intense gaze I couldn’t quite ignore.Something told me that if my escape plan had been successful, these maids would have paid the full price.“What’s going on here?” his angry gaze now fixed solely on me.His tone rattled something inside of me. “Take your stupid crown, Olpheus. I remember why I didn’t want it in the first place.” Something flickered in his eyes as I said those words.Something that looked a lot like sadness. It was gone so soon, I guess I had imagined it.“So you don’t want me? You don’t want to become my mate?” Ordinarily, that question would have melted something inside of me, but he said the words in a tone that was hard enough to cut through steel.“I want you, Olpheus.” More than he would ever know. “I want you, but I don’t want to be with you… not like this.”“You have no right to tell me

My mind somehow drifted back to Fredrick. I wondered if he was okay in that cold dark dungeon. Everyone was here, enjoying the festivities, but he was still there all alone.I wondered if Natalia had gone back to visit him, although the chances of that were slim, because last time she was there, he all bit chased her away from him.I had to get him out.I didn’t know how.I didn’t know what I would have to do.But I couldn’t just sit on a throne and pretend I was happy while he remained there.When I got back into our room, I was. I had barely stepped inside before he turned toward me, his expression softening.“You look beautiful,” he said.I said nothing. What did he expect me to say exactly? Was I supposed to thank him and pretend like he hadn’t just placed this huge burden on me even after I begged him not to?His smile was so bright it made me feel like I was the darkness of the world. “That crown really does suit you, Eloise. See? I told you, everything would be just fine. You

Eloise’s POV“Natalia was really worried about you. Have you checked on her?” The question more of a formality than anything really. I had more than enough going on in my life, and I didn’t really have the liberty to be genuinely worried about another person’s, but the moment the words left my lips, I noticed how his entire face darkened.It was like a heavy presence had settled between us, and I didn’t know what to do about it.The look got me curious. The question was on the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed it. It was none of my business. I closed the door behind me and he went away to do god only knows what.My shoulders dropped as I thought of what lay ahead.The banquet.The thought of it alone was enough to leave me exhausted. To think that this was only the beginning of many days, maybe even years ahead.I still couldn’t believe that I was actually queen. The thought alone was weird, but somehow it was my very reality.I was queen. Queen to a race that I wasn’t even sure I wa

Fredrick’s POVThe silence in the room was almost suffocating. I hated it. I should have been relieved to be out of that cold, dark dungeon, but I honestly couldn’t find it in me.Instead, I found myself sitting in the same chair for what felt like hours, staring at nothing in particular. The estate was quiet, too quiet.Everyone had been careful around me since I returned. A little too careful.My men kept their distance, the servants barely spoke unless they had to, and no one dared ask what had happened. I was grateful for that… I think… well, at least I didn't have to explain myself.I didn’t have that patience.I rubbed my palms over my face and leaned back, letting out a slow breath.I needed to calm down. Getting angry all over again wasn't going to change anything, and I was tired of carrying the weight of it around with me.I took in a deep breath, hoping it could help calm whatever was making me go haywire. It did not.My mind still kept going back to the things I knew I sh
