-Darius- "You and Silver seem quite in love as well," I said, and my brother looked at me confused, turning in his saddle a little. "What?" "Why do you almost sound surprised by it?" he asked. "Well, eh…" "I know you don’t like her, but you know I have loved her since we were kids, and she has loved me." "What?" I didn’t mean to blurt out the word, but as he spoke of loving Silver since they were kids, I was learning something new. In our old life, he had never confessed that to me. He had never even shown Silver the same interest he showed Katherine, or the interest I thought he had shown her. It seemed now all to be an act. Maybe he had tried to make Father happy, or maybe because he knew he was stuck with Katherine, he tried to make it work. But he had eventually killed her to free himself of her. It was crazy to think about. I had never seen my brother as a cruel person, and even now, despite knowing what he was capable of, I felt no darkness. How could that be? I knew it was

-Darius-My brother didn’t appreciate my words, and I understood, but he needed to see that it wasn’t going to end well if he thought going after the Dark Ones was a good idea. At least not if he thought of striking them in their own territory. It would only end up with him getting killed."But you spoke with me once about how you might get even stronger if you fought on their land," he reminded me, as if I could remember that conversation."Me, I would get stronger. Not the rest.""But it might be enough?""Am I going single man?" I asked, thinking that was an even worse idea."No, you wouldn't, but you could guide the rest of us through it all.""Brother, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Listen to me. They are too powerful on that side," I explained.He sighed, leaning back and seeming disappointed. Was my brother a man who liked wars? Who liked to be known for something "great", which was really just bloody? I couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t believe our father had raised him to be

-Darius- When I came back early to the castle, I was surprised when I stepped into my bedroom and did not find my wife in bed. I walked a little further into the room, trying to search for her, and found her on the couch, passed out. I smiled at the sight of it and even walked over to the armrest, grabbed it, and leaned over her. She looked so beautiful. I could just look at her forever, and it made my heart go crazy inside my chest. But why was she sleeping on the couch? I reached down and stroked her cheek, and she slowly stirred from her sleep. Katherine looked up, seeming so relieved, though, like she had been scared without me. "Morning," I said. "Oh, thank the Goddess!" She got up from the couch and then went to hug me. I was surprised by the intensity of the hug, but I certainly didn’t ask her to let go. "Is everything all right?" I asked. "Never leave like that again," she mumbled into my neck. "Why? Did something happen? Did Silver do something?" Katherine pulled back,

-Katherine- I was very interested in knowing how Acan was different. Maybe it would give me some answers, and I really wanted answers. I wanted to know what I had been so blind to for years, and it seemed like Darius had now learned some things about his brother. It made me very intrigued. “Different how?” I asked. “He seems… hungry for powers.” “What? Acan?” I asked, still finding it hard to believe that he could ever be hungry for power, but then I remembered how I died and then it didn’t seem so weird. “Yeah, I was surprised by it too, and he told me about his love for Silver and hers for him since they were young.” “I’m sorry?” I asked, even more shocked by this. I knew they were close, but this sounded so new. Since they were young? How young? When? Why? How had I never noticed any attraction between them? Friendship? Yes. They communicated well, but I began piecing things together as Darius spoke. I moved away from him a little and I felt his eyes on me, as I began thinkin

-Katherine- Silver thought we should all go shopping in town the next day, and we walked down the busy streets, guards behind us, and looking at dresses and jewelry. She looked at many things while talking to her ladies, and I stayed in the back, glaring at her. All this time, I thought, you fucked my husband all this time. I angrily took a bite of the apple in front of me, the only thing I could really stomach with the child inside of me now growing. How the hell was I ever going to pay them back when I didn’t just have me to look out for now? I had this child as well, and as Darius had pointed out, in this life Silver and Acan had never wronged me because they had no reason to. I had married Darius. The Dark Prince, the one who would never sit on the throne because of his bastard blood and being second born. We weren’t a threat. There was no reason to trap anyone in a fire. Though of course, Acan had never tried to kill Darius. He had no reason to. It was just me… just the wife he n

-Darius- My brother and I were working alone in his study. I was surprised by the new responsibilities as his most trusted advisor I now had. He hadn’t let go of the idea of finding a way to take down the Dark Ones, though. I didn’t like it though. Acan seemed almost obsessed with taking them down. He had never been like this before, but this Acan wanted to prove himself. He wanted to be remembered for something, and it was not that I didn’t understand why. Many kings wanted to be remembered throughout history, but this seemed so out of character of him that I needed some time to process it. Who was my brother? It seemed like we were still close? What did that mean? Was I now hungry for more power as well? Had I become out of character too? “So, how is Katherine today?” Acan asked. “Still finding it hard to eat.” “Just keep an eye on her. Silver was the same.” It felt like it was much the same, me and my brother, caring about each other, him giving me advice since he was older. He

-Katherine-After the long day I had, it was so wonderful to sink down in the warm tub and let it relax my muscles. The water had been scented with a nice flowery scent, and I breathed it in, leaning my head back and enjoying how it made all my senses take a breather. Spending my days with Silver was awful. I didn’t remember ever spending that much time with her, but there I was. We almost seemed to be close friends as well. Not just she and Acan were close. Now it seemed like she and I were as well. That made no sense. Why would I become friends with Silver? I thought it over, but of course there was room for friendship when she wasn’t screwing my husband behind my back or trying to take my throne, possibly aiding in my death. She was a fire witch, after all. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had given him a hand just for fun. It was hard to get used to my anger. All my life, I had been a calm and collected person, smiling and trying my best to make others smile as well. Now I was fille

-Katherine- I watched Darius leave the water. It dripped from his hard body, only making him look even more amazing. An idea popped into my head, but I was unsure where it came from. Again, it was hard to say which part was me and which part was the me who had lived this incredible, happy life with Darius. Somehow, he gave me all I had ever desired. True love. It might seem like little to some. Didn’t I want more? I was a princess after all, but I knew I was always destined to marry someone I hardly knew, so of course, love became my goal. Now, according to my new memories, I did have someone who gave me love. Darius gave me it. I left the water right after him. He had grabbed a towel as he walked towards the bed, but I met him there, grabbing his arm and turning him around. He looked puzzled at me, but I was unsure what came over me. I pulled the towel away, pressing him back on the bed, then lowered myself, getting on my knees and in between his legs. "Katherine…" he whispered, mak

His Unbeloved Queen Epilogue
-Darius- My beautiful queen came over to me, kissing me before sitting down beside me. Years had passed since we ascended the thrones, ruling together, though my wife did most of the ruling. The way she just spoke to the people and connected with them was something I could never do, but with time, they had grown less afraid of me and more accepting. They had begun coming to me instead of barely being able to look at me, and while they still treated me with caution, it wasn’t coldness I was treated with. They loved Katherine, though, and she loved to be there for the people. She loved to make them feel heard and cared for, and she made them smile and laugh. We often went into the city together, just walking among the people and making sure they saw us, and we took all the kids with us. The whole table was almost filled with them. Silver’s and Acan’s boys had been sad about their parents. We never truly told them what a part we played in it, but that their parents had died from the mob

-Katherine- Darius and I had travelled quite far with our prisoners. We knew exactly who to give them to, and now we stood in the middle of the night with a single torch, a few guards, and Silver and Acan in front of us, tied up and shivering like crazy. Their clothes and bodies were dirty after days of being in the dungeon. We waited until things calmed down a little before bringing them here, and now we were waiting. We had already begun helping the people get back on their feet and ordered the army home. Things would go back to normal, but we knew we had work in front of us. But first things first, we needed to pay a debt. "It’s been a while, prince," the Dark Ones’ leader said as he emerged from the forest. He seemed to be alone, but I had the feeling he wasn’t. His dark eyes went to me and seemed excited. "I finally meet her," he said. I smiled at him, and he smiled back, before his eyes went to the king and queen in front of us, tied up and gagged. "Oh, a present. I didn’t
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 93
-Katherine- There was no one Acan loved more than himself, and so I didn’t think he had taken Silver with him. He wouldn’t even think about his boys, only himself. I believed I knew where Silver had gone, and so I took some guards with me and went upstairs, locating her room. There stood two guards, blocking the door, but I had four with me, and when I told them to move, they took one look at the whole scene and stepped to the side, not wanting to get into a fight with me. I smiled, feeling good about it, and I stepped inside, hearing Silver’s voice. "Acan?" I saw her standing up from the bed, holding a cup of wine in her hand, and she had blood on her. I could see she had taken hits, and I believed the mob had gotten their hands on her, but then she had slipped away. She was waiting for her big hero, Acan, to come save her, but he wasn’t coming. There were only she and I here. She looked at me, scared, not understanding why I was standing there. "Katherine…" "Hello Silver." "W-

-Darius- I looked at my beautiful wife, who had gotten dressed in our colors as well. Her hair was up, and she wore a silver crown. She looked so amazing, all I wanted was to say screw the party and instead enjoy having her all to myself, but I knew tonight was special, and I couldn’t let myself get distracted, so I settled for watching her from afar, taking in the wonderful woman in front of me. Someone I was so lucky to have been granted. I had earned her love, while Acan had been given it and wasted it. I was proud of us both and how far we had come. No one could say we hadn’t fought to be together, and once Acan and Silver were gone, we could truly relax. We could enjoy our lives together and just be happy. Katherine noticed me in the mirror she stood in front of and smiled at me. We had been able to act much faster than we thought was possible. But that was how angry the people were. That was how desperate they were to get the king and queen removed and to let others take their
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 91
-Katherine- The next morning, I knew I had to do something I really didn’t want to do, but sometimes we just had to sacrifice a little of our dignity to get what we want. I knew Silver would be with her ladies, and so I went to find them in the room where they were drinking, eating, and laughing early in the morning. Once I entered, though, the room grew so quiet, and Silver was glaring at me as I neared them. I put on my fake smile and began walking closer and closer. They kept watching me like a predator would, but I didn’t pay any attention to that. I stopped in front of them and bowed my head a little to show a little respect, even though I had none for them. "Morning," I greeted. They didn’t answer me back, and I understood that. "Can we help you?" Silver spat. "Actually, I did want to ask you a question," I admitted, seeing her grow interested because I was now showing a little vulnerability. "Oh?" she asked, sipping her wine. "Well, Acan said I could throw that party, as

-Katherine- Darius and I retreated to the room later after spending some time with Acan. I was already in bed when he joined me, pulling me close and kissing me on top of the head. "I was a bit worried about being away from you today. I saw you went to the city. How did it go?" he asked. "Perfect." "Perfect?" he asked. "You have no idea how angry the people are, Darius. They want Acan gone. I can feel it. They just need an opening, an option, and I am trying to find one," I informed him. "Any ideas?" he asked. "No, you?" We both thought about it for a long time. I knew if I could create an opening for the people, a way inside to get to Acan and Silver, then they would do the rest. They would attack, and in the middle of that attack, we could strike. We could do what was necessary. It was all coming together, but we needed that small part, that moment that would be the perfect option to hurt them. When was that? When could we finally be free of Acan and Silver? Darius ran his fi
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 89
-Katherine- So many of the people were angry at Acan and Silver. I had taken guards with me before I went to the city, but I listened to complaints all day. I made sure they felt like they had someone they could come to to talk about their struggles. I listened to everything they had to say and began feeding them ideas about taking down Acan and Silver. I was never straightforward about it. I just left small breadcrumbs that I hoped would turn into more. I hoped they would follow my little trial and see the benefits of getting rid of Acan and Silver, and I did seem to awaken something in them. A need. A fire that glowed in their eyes and told me they were considering it. It felt so good to see, because it was like watching the dream house that Acan and Silver had built only for them to have to watch it crumble. It gave me a sick, satisfying feeling knowing their lives would be destroyed. It made me feel incredible to know I would be the cause of it as well. I would be the reason why
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 88
-Darius- Acan and I continued to talk, and I noticed that the longer we talked and the more he drank, the more his guards were coming down. He was slowly letting me in again, and I tried to hide the wicked smile on my lips. I needed him to be less guarded with me. I needed him to allow me to enter his heart again, if he even had one, and to want me close. Only then could I turn things around and turn people against him. Eventually, though, he grew too tired and told me he was going to rest now but that we would be riding together tomorrow. I told him I couldn’t wait, even though the idea did not thrill me at all. I couldn’t think of anything worse, but there was no way around it. I finished my drink, then walked back to my room, finding my wife sleeping. I left it shortly just to check on my son, who was heavily guarded but also sleeping. I walked back to my own room, undressing and finally joining her in bed. She woke up a little, moving closer to me, and then fell right back to sle
