The Queen of Hearts may have been beautiful, but in the end, it was the Queen of Hearts who ordered the beheadings. And in my story, Aurora had lost her head a long time ago. Now, it was just a matter of watching the body still twitch.

“I’ll give you another chance. Another chance to bring her back to my court before her powers truly rise. One more chance to bring her to me.” Her attendants rush to open her doors. “But if you fail…” she turns to look at me again, making sure I understand the intent behind her words. “If you fail, I’ll eat your heart from your chest as you scream.

The King’s heart will simply stop, and it will look like a standard attack.” She smiled with pure malice, parting her legs slowly. “You wanted to own me, Karel. To bring me to my knees. But it seems the power has shifted. I do not need you—you need me.” She commanded him sternly, “On your knees. I hope your tongue does a better job than your brain did planning those failed attacks.

Never.” Her grotesquely long nails dug into her thighs. “I will not miss my mother, constantly mourning my father years after his death.
