Ravina stood in the shadows, her eyes wide in horror, as she watched the chaos unfold before her. Her father had finally woken, but not in the state she expected. Rage consumed him, his eyes wild and unfocused, as if he were battling demons only he could see. His screams and growls echoed through the hall, a guttural clamor that sent shivers down Ravina's spine. He tried to tear his clothes, his nails digging into the fabric, leaving it shredded and torn. Then, he turned his fury on the walls,…-

Nazneen sat at the head of her court, a grand and open space crafted with the finest marble that gleamed under the sunlight. Her courtiers, nobles, and advisors surrounded her, their faces a blend of skepticism and curiosity. They were discussing matters of state, their voices a symphony of opinions and suggestions that filled the air. Nazneen didn't know any better than them, and her opinions kept shifting depending on who she believed made the better suggestion. Thankfully, she had Noah, who took…

"What is this?" Ares asked looking at the names scribbled on the small book. "That is Darcy's die list." "Die list?" Ares looked at the names and seemed to recognize a few. Some powerful figures. "People she plans to kill or have killed, and maps to finding them." "Oh…" he looked at the names crossed out. It must be the ones killed then. "Who are they?" "The traders," Ephraim said as he continued to look through his desk and drawers. Oh. The humans who traded other humans to…

Richard didn't know what was happening to him. He went from being cold and freezing all the time, beginning with the icy coldness that made him numb, to burning in hell. He really didn't know which one was worse. Both were equally painful. For a moment, he had come to believe he was in fact in hell, being punished for his sins. He would never see his daughters again. Where they safe now? Did they find each other? He had often heard Corinna from a distance and seen a man with her. He looked…

Ravina lay there, her body still quivering from the aftershocks of her climax. She was breathless, her heart pounding in her chest as though she had just run a mile. Her limbs felt heavy, her body warm and pliant, as if she'd been thoroughly kneaded and then left to rest. The initial discomfort from Malachi's intrusion had faded into a dull throb. Her skin tingled from where his hands had roamed, his touch leaving behind a trail of heat that seemed to seep into her very bones. Malachi allowed her to…

Malachi sat Ravina down on the edge of the bed, his eyes never leaving hers. The anticipation and desire between them was palpable, and the air was thick not only with the steam from the tub but also from their bodies. "Crawl back," he urged her gently, his voice deep and velvety. Her heart pounding, she complied, her body bare and still wet and glistening from the bath, save for the modest covering provided by the towel. Her eyes lingered on his face before drifting down his bare torso and onto…

Malachi was taken aback by her offer, his eyes widening subtly. He understood that intimacy wasn't something Ravina easily shared, which made him feel cherished in a way, considering everything she had done for him without any expectations or demands. His body responded, stirring with desire to the memory of her lips around him. However, this was not the right time to be fully aroused as he prepared to disrobe. He didn't want her to assume that his thoughts were always driven by lust when she had…

Malachi returned to Ares's home after making sure that he was calm and that none of what happened would show on his face. Ravina was already struggling with her father, so he didn't burden her with his sadness as well. As he walked down the hall, the sweet scent of blossom reached his nostrils and the sound of faint footsteps echoed in the hall. Before he could look, he already knew it was Darcy, and guilt struck his heart again. He wished to stop, walking and turn around, ashamed to face her, but it…

Malachi had spent the night with Ravina, and she was highly stressed, barely getting any sleep. She kept waking up with nightmares, and when it persisted, he decided to bring her sister, perhaps. It was early morning, and Ravina had still not gotten good sleep, and she kept tossing and turning. Hopefully, Darcy would be awake now and he needed to return briefly to the kingdom and tell Saul to take over for a while. He left the room and walked down the long corridors of Ares's mansion, wondering…

After a night of short but warm sleep, Nazneen carefully tried to get out of Ares's arms. He stirred and drew her closer again, and she waited until he fell back into sleep to try to sneak out. Nazneen began to prepare for her day as a queen, even if she didn't want to leave his side. But she was beginning to see things differently. She wanted to settle down one day, have peace and a normal life with Ares, and for that to happen, she would have to work harder today. She was also enjoying her…
