Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 35; Fallen Hero
Adrian and I spent the rest of the afternoon in the library, immersed in ancient tomes, scrolls, and maps. Piece by piece, the mysteries we sought to unravel began to take shape. The room was filled with the scent of old parchment and the soft rustling of pages. We were prepared for a long night of study and discovery.But then a messenger arrived, his face etched with sorrow and tragedy. We abandoned our work and hurried back to the mansion. Upon our return, I was struck by a sight that made my heart plummet—General Tsami lay lifeless on the cold stone floor, his body bloodied and wounded.Words failed me, and my knees buckled as I knelt beside his still form. Edina's sobs echoed in the room; she couldn't bear to look at the body. Tsami's eyes were closed forever, his face marred with scratches. Dark, sticky blood clung to his clothes."He was stabbed by the creature's claws while trying to save a hunter," one survivor explained, his voice trembling. "He told us to run, to escape and
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 36; I've Got You
A shadow darted out from the trees, and before I could react, an Algoth lunged at me. Its claws slashed through the air, narrowly missing my face. I drew an arrow and fired, the shaft piercing the creature’s side. It screeched in pain, but more emerged from the darkness, their eyes gleaming with malevolence.I fought them off as best I could, firing arrow after arrow, but my strength was waning. The stitches from my previous wounds pulled and tore, sending waves of pain through my body. My vision blurred, and I felt myself growing weaker with each passing moment.One of the Algoths struck me from the side, knocking me off my horse. I hit the ground hard, the impact driving the breath from my lungs. Pain exploded through my body, and I struggled to rise, but my limbs refused to cooperate.The Algoths circled around me, their eyes glowing in the darkness. I tried to reach for my dagger, but my hands were trembling too much to grip it properly. Desperation filled me as I realized how hel
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 37; You Belong To Me
When I awoke, the warmth of Valen's presence was gone. I rolled to the other side of the bed, my eyes glaring out the window at the dark sky dotted with twinkling stars. A small smile curved my lips. I stretched, raising my hands above my head, and then froze as I realized I was naked under the covers.I gasped, my fingers curling around the top of the blanket. Pulling it up to my chest, I sat up abruptly. What had happened? Why was I naked? Had Valen and I been intimate?The door creaked open, and Valen entered the room, a sweet smile playing on his lips. "I knew I heard your raging thoughts," he said, his smile deepening. "You're awake. Again. You feel okay?"He sat at the edge of the bed, his gaze unwavering.My hands tightened on the sheets as I nodded slowly. "Good.""Valen...""Yes, Maerwynn?""Did—did we...?""No, darling. If I ever got around to pleasuring you, I would make sure you remembered every little bit of it for a very, very long time."His impulsive words sent a ru
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 38; No Going Back
Your my mate? I questioned in my head, feeling a mix of confusion and fear. His eyes softened as he began taking steps towards me, but my feet instinctively retreated, carrying me back down the hallway from which I came.It's ironic how I had always craved answers, sought the truth, and now, confronted with it, I was running away as if it meant nothing. How was I supposed to process this revelation?"Your destiny is with the High Lord," the Wraith had said. My destiny is with the High Lord. Valen. My destiny is with Valen because he’s my mate, and there’s no escaping that fate, at least not in the faerie world."Maerwynn!" I heard him call, and I wanted to scream at him to stop, to leave me alone. He had been lying to me all this time.I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, the hallway stretching endlessly before me. My legs ached from the effort, but I didn't stop until I reached his bedroom. I slammed the door shut behind me, knowing full well it was a futile gesture. He could fly
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 39; The Mating Bond
“There’s never been a day I didn’t long for you,” Valen muttered against my lips after we had been kissing for what felt like an eternity. “I have craved you.”“Me too,” I whispered back, my voice trembling against his lips.He pulled away for a moment, his hands clasping my face, and stared deeply into my eyes. I thought I saw tears glistening. Was I dreaming? Maybe I was, because Valen, the High Lord of the Twilight Court, had tears brimming in his eyes. I cupped his face, mirroring his gaze.“It was so hard. So hard staying away from you. I’m sorry I pushed you away so many times. It was killing me inside more than it may have hurt you,” he sighed deeply. “I had my mate, and I couldn’t…” His voice broke. “And I couldn’t show it.”Tears welled up in my own eyes, spilling down my cheeks. Today had turned out to be something I never could have anticipated. Valen, my mate? How could I have known that riding away from Ferngrove would lead to this revelation? Or perhaps it was the bond p
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 40; Irresistible
The morning sun filtered through the windows, an uncommon sight in the Twilight Court, especially when it wasn’t summer. The bright light pulled me from sleep, forcing me to squint as it hit my eyes. Strange—how could the sun be so intense here? I tried to shift away from its blinding rays, but something warm and solid held me in place. Not something—someone. Valen.His arm was draped over my waist, holding me tightly, as if I might vanish the moment he loosened his grip. The feel of his skin against mine made me want to stay exactly where I was, sinking into his warmth. But that damned sun... it was relentless.As if sensing my discomfort, Valen mumbled incoherently, his voice thick with sleep. He shifted, lifting me gently, moving us from the side of the bed bathed in sunlight to the shaded part, all while keeping his arms wrapped around me. Now, his broad back shielded me from the light, and he sighed contentedly against my neck.“It’s too early for that little head of yours to be
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 41; Caelora
I stepped outside the manor, the warm twilight air brushing against my skin as the sky above painted itself in deep shades of purple and gold. I scanned the courtyard, expecting to see some sign of a carriage or horse—anything that suggested we’d be traveling soon.Nothing.I turned back toward the door just as Valen appeared behind me, his usual smirk already tugging at the corner of his lips. “Looking for something?”“I don’t see a horse or carriage,” I said dryly, crossing my arms. “Unless we’re walking?”He chuckled, stepping down to join me. “No horses today, Red.”Before I could respond, the heavy wooden doors creaked open again, and Rhaenan stepped out into the fading light. My gaze immediately flickered to him, my eyebrows lifting in mild surprise. Gone was the formal, stoic fae I’d grown used to. In his place was a warrior—dressed in fitted leather armor that accentuated every powerful muscle, his tall frame looking like something straight out of a fae battalion. His boots we
Court Of Fae And Ruin Chapter 1; Darkness Has Descended
As I delved deeper into the dense woods, the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant calls of woodland creatures surrounded me. The cool autumn breeze filled my lungs as I moved with the grace of a seasoned hunter. Hunger gnawed at my belly, and my arms ached from carrying my bow in search of sustenance, akin to a famished predator. The truth is, hunger grips not just me but all of us in Ferngrove.Until two years ago, Ferngrove thrived. Its lands were abundant, and fishermen returned daily with tales of plentiful catches. However, the past two years have been marked by hardship. Famine has become our unwanted companion. The once plentiful fish have vanished from our waters, and the wildlife seems to be in constant flux. Some whisper of a curse upon Ferngrove, but my father, the village chief, insists it's merely a phase. But how long must we endure?I press forward, my bow at the ready, its wood worn smooth by countless hunts. Each step reinforces my duty to provide for my family in
