my heart fell to the ground as the professor announced that she was future Crown Princess Charity, who was a vision of elegance, with her flowing midnight black hair cascading down her back and her cerulean eyes exuding both grace and charisma.

I quickly caught my heart when it almost dropped to the ground, not knowing what to do. As the royal couple approached, the room fell into a respectful silence. Alucard was a highly esteemed figure, and his presence demanded reverence. Charity, on the other hand, had a rep

“But what if I get my hopes up and then he breaks my heart? I’ve never been with anyone and I don’t think I want to carelessly risk everything for a’maybe’.” “As your therapist, you re right about not diving in when you haven’t fully healed from everything. You need to love yourself enough to be willing to take the risk of letting someone in enough for them to see your scars and help you heal.” I abruptly got up and started pacing about. “This doesn’t make sense, you want me to get my heart broken so you can keep making money from me. Is that is?” I spat. “Does my life interest you that much that the only help you can offer is one that will always benefit you?”

My heart skipped a beat, my tears moist right then. I dropped to a crouch and held him, pressing my ear against his chest again. I could hear his heartbeat, thumping powerfully through his thin shirt. It was such a familiar sensation. It was Stan's heartbeat. As I closed my eyes, my tears flowed ever so quietly.

"Please live a good life with Stan's heart." - Nathan walked with me to the gates of the orphanage, but I never once turned to look at him again.

“I, Reyna, the ruler of the North, swear my loyalty to Aluxious, my mate and ruler of the South. May this heart serves as a token of our kingdom’s union and our unborn child, the witness of this allegiance.” She descended the stairs, slowly walking to him. He stood unmoving, his emotions all over the place. Who cared about the heart? She was his heart. Did she realize how he felt when he found out she was gone? He ground his jaw, waited for his mate to come closer. She stopped at one arm’s distance, raised her hand, offering the heart. Aluxious slapped her hand. “Fuck the heart!” he growled. He pulled her to his chest, buried his snout in the junction of her neck. “I have yours and that’s al

It wasn’t a business card at all, but a playing card—the queen of hearts, with a phone number written in black ink across the face. “When you’re ready,” Ryder said quietly, “we’ll be waiting. All of us.” He walked out into the storm, leaving me holding a queen of hearts and the first real choice I’d had in years. Through the window, I could see Marcus in his BMW, fingers drumming against the steering wheel. Behind him, barely visible through the rain, a line of motorcycles pulled up to the curb. The queen of hearts felt warm in my hand, like it was alive with possibility. Some nights change everything. And sometimes, all it takes is one card to start a war…

“When I asked for the whole story, this was the last thing I expected you to lay at my feet.” “It’s a lot, I know.” “A princess. It’s such a strange word on my tongue.” She chuckled. “Are you saying I can’t pull it off? You haven’t seen me in a ballgown or a crown.” He laughed. “No. I definitely can see you in that. It’s just shocking to be dating royalty—and even more shocking learning how you were treated. I want to be fascinated by who you are, but I can't dissociate how you were treated. I don’t know what to say about your parents’ behaviour.”

I wouldn’t let that happen. I would not crawl back a failure. If the wolf refused to die, if my own magic refused me his heart, then I would find another. My mother’s command had been clear—the heart of a Royal. She hadn’t specified which one. She hadn’t forbidden me from choosing a different heart, a different victim. Slowly, through the haze of rain and rage, a smile curled across my lips. A wicked, sharp smile. The palace loomed before me, its tall stone walls glistening wet under the downpour. Behind those walls, safety and power coiled together in golden halls. Behind those walls, the bloodline that had cursed us thrived, fattened on everything that had been stolen from my family.
