All Chapters of Bonded to the Elf king: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

He stared at me in confusion as I crossed the hall to him. The guards were present, staring at us. I could hear the ruckus going on outside, which reminded me that Ian had gotten away. I should be scared. This castle had done a bad job of protecting me after all – Ian had escaped, and Lyara had found a way to trap me in my worst nightmare. I should be thinking of ways to protect myself if push came to shove and not going on a quest for answers, but I needed to know. My chest expanded painfully, and my knees weakened. I needed to know what Olpheus meant. I could never have hurt him. He meant so much to me, and I could never have hurt him that way, right? Yet, moments before that, I had hurt him with my words. What the hell was happening?“My lady, you should be in your room. It is not safe out here. Everywhere is chaos. They’re looking for the escaped prisoner.” He told me, looking around, as if he was worried the guard would come out and strike him down. He was nervous and I knew im

I stared at him, confused. “What?”“You heard me, Eloise. I understand if you still have some unresolved feelings for him. I understand, truly, I do, but he isn’t good for you.” He declared loudly. “I know I shouldn’t tell you what to do. You are your own woman and can make your decisions but he isn’t the one for you. All he is going to do is hurt you. I am the one for you, and I cannot allow you make mistakes again. Your last mistakes have cost us so much, so you cannot choose him again.”I walked to him, feeling like pulling my hair. “Have you lost your mind? You have refused to tell me anything. You have kept so much from me, and now we are supposed to talk about it.”“We are talking about.” He insisted.“No, we are not!” I tried not to yell at him, but I couldn’t help myself. My cheeks burned, and my chest was hot. “We are not talking about it. You’re keeping me in the dark even now. Tell me everything. Do not keep anything from me.” He shook his head. “I cannot tell you everythi

My ears rung at the words, at the nonchalant way he’d said it, as if it didn’t matter, as if he didn’t just say he wanted to behead my sister. “Beheaded?” I whispered, chest turning tight with every shaky inhale.“Yes.” He nodded, and looked at the door impatiently. He was ready to get this over with when I was still trying to keep up. ‘Lyara was a bitch, she was a huge bitch who had made my life a living hell, i do not remember anything from my past life but i remember her viciousness … how funny that it has transcended lives into this one … she deserved to die … she trapped me in my worst nightmare and made me relieve it countless times, she made me believe Olpheus had chosen her and they were making love … she knows my weak points and how to use it against me … she is always eager to use my weaknesses against me … that is the person she is and Olpheus knows this too. He knows – and it doesn’t help that she snuck into his kingdom, attacked him, and hurt his mate. Logically, there

I looked around and saw the guards waiting closer, watching me carefully. “Where is Nolan’s room?” I asked the one closest to me. He frowned at me, adjusted his helmet, and said. “I can take you there, ma’am, or better still, I can bring him out here for you to speak to.” “Oh, that won’t be necessary. I only need to speak to him about something quickly. Can you direct me to his quarters?” I insisted, keeping a calm smile on my face. I was about to rescue my sister from the clutches of Olpheus, I was about to go against their King. It was better for me to suffer the consequences alone when push came to shove. I wasn’t ready to drag anyone down with me, well … except Nolan, I guess, but strangely enough, he was the only one I could trust about this. He must have meant something to me in my past life, for me to trust him this much. I was eager to fully remember my past life, but for now, I would settle for what I had remembered. The guards begrudgingly directed me to Nollan’s quarte

Before I could speak, I heard footsteps, strong and domineering.My stomach sank as Olpheus walked in and stood in front of my cell. I was on my knees, covered in dirt, and wearing Lyara’s face.He turned to her, and I waited for him to see through her magic, her disguise. He didn’t. His face softened, and he frowned, “What are you doing here, Eloise? You shouldn’t be here. This witch has caused you so much grief, and you should be in bed, where you can be protected.”“No.” I shook my head, terror climbing to my throat.Lyara touched his cheeks and smiled at him. “I know, and I am sorry I came here behind your back, but I wanted to see her one last time before … you know.”He nodded stiffly. “Your soft heart is your most endearing features but you shoudln’t be here. It is going to get messy, and a bit bloody. The villagers have gathered to watch the execution.” “Execution?” Her eyes widened slightly, and he frowned, “We have been over this already –”“She is lying, Olpheus!” I scream
