His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 22
-Katherine-Darius and I kept glancing at each other as we got dressed again. I kept blushing every time our eyes met. It was clear I was becoming much like this Katherine in this life. I had asked us to go slowly, but instead I had wrapped my legs around Darius. He had carried us out of the water, lying me down on our clothes, then taken me so roughly until I had let out pleasurable noises that filled the woods. Goddess, I grew even hotter just thinking about it, but Darius brought something out in me that I couldn’t explain. He made me feel so many things. Good things. Things I thought Acan had made me feel, but I was wrong. He never made me feel like this. He never made me passionate. Again, I was seeing how much I had given of myself and how little I had gotten in return. Not just from Acan, but from the people around me. From the people at court."If you keep looking at me like that, I will need you again," Darius told me, making my body feel so warm."We can still continue the r
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 23
-Darius-I was unsure what came over me. All I could think about was protecting Katherine and our future child. I couldn’t let anything harm either of them, and so I had lost my mind. My powers came crashing to the surface, only demanding death and destruction, and I had allowed it to happen. I felt so guilty, though, as I came back to reality and saw Katherine looking at me with fear in her eyes. I knew she tried to hide it, but it was there. She had never been afraid of me before, and it had hurt so much to see. She had quickly snapped out of it as well and tried to make me feel better, but I wonder if the way she saw me had been ruined forever. I had taken my sword back, and we had begun riding back to the castle, but we were both quiet. I didn’t know what to say. I had no words that could defend what I had done. I knew the hunger to absorb more powers came from doing it over and over, and once again I had stolen a power. The power of fire, and it had felt good. I felt amazing doin
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 24
-Katherine- I woke up beside Darius the next morning. He was still sleeping as I moved out of the sleep’s grip. I settled for watching him, feeling such happiness spread through me. His words from last night played in my mind. I had never had such a confession made to me before. I had never realized how much I needed to hear it. It made my heart feel so full, but it also made me wonder. Could I put it all on the line? I knew what would happen if I began plotting against Acan, and Darius was so satisfied with our new life. He just wanted what we had now and for nothing to ruin it, but I wasn’t sure I could let go. I felt light whenever I was with Darius. He distracted me from my plans, but whenever he wasn’t near, I would grow angry and restless, just wanting to hurt the ones who hurt me. They were new feelings to get used to, but I also wanted them. I wanted these angry feelings to help me do what was necessary. At least what I believed was necessary. But could I let it go? For Dariu
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 25
-Darius- I was sitting with my brother in his study again, working. It felt strange to suddenly be more involved in the work than I had ever been before. But in this life, I was his most trusted advisor. He listened to me, or at least told me he didn’t. I was unsure how much advice he was really taking from me. I tapped a finger against the paper I was looking at in front of me when I got the oddest sensation of being watched. Slowly, I moved my eyes upward, seeing my brother looking at me. "Yes?" I asked, confused. "I… um…" He seemed to struggle to say something, and it confused me. I put the paper down on the desk, leaning a little forward. "What is it?" I asked. "Darius…" "Yes?" "You, um…" Acan stammered again, which confused me greatly. Why couldn’t he simply tell me what was going on? But before he got the chance, there was a knock on the door, and we both turned around, looking that way. "Enter." A servant walked inside, bowing his head, then telling us the meeting was g
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 26
-Katherine- The room was getting filled little by little with all the decorations. Thanks to the powers many of the servants had, it was easy to get the room ready and beautiful. I watched as one of them began making flowers appear around a column. I smiled, watching it happen, and the servant looked over her shoulder, seeing me observe her. She smiled back, and I praised her work. She blushed a little, enjoying hearing the compliment. I remembered doing that a lot in my old life, but everyone seemed almost scared to receive my compliments. Maybe it was because I was queen, or maybe it was because I was the biggest fool of all. I had no idea how many were plotting against me, and I bet many of the servants knew who was trying to kill me. It was better not to get too close to the queen, whom everyone wished to die because of her inability to show any powers. "It tastes disgusting!" Silver exclaimed, then smacked a plate out of a servant’s hand. I looked behind me, shocked. Another o
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 27
-Katherine- I believed I had the best day out of all the ones I had had since arriving… Maybe even before I arrived. I had no idea I would love giving back everything Silver was dishing out. I had no idea the high it would give me, but I was practically skipping down the stone halls feeling so good about myself. This was only the beginning, though. My plan to get back at Acan and Silver was forming in the best kind of way because I realized Darius and I were not weaklings, at least not weaker than Acan. I understood he was the king of all of us, and my kingdom was smaller, but I had been chosen to be his wife for a reason. Our kingdoms together were going to make us even more powerful. It would protect Acan’s rule and give me a husband to look after me. Very traditional, but I was also a witch without powers. I needed the protection. As I skipped down the hallways, I realized I didn’t. Maybe in a fight like with Darius, I did need protection, but I could hold my own ground, and it wa
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 28
-Darius- Hearing the things Katherine said to me… it couldn’t be put into words what it meant to me. It made my heart beat so fast, and the way she looked at me made me feel like I was her whole world. I had dreamt for so long for her to look at me like that, for her to tell me that we stood together and had a future together. I had wanted her to look at me like she couldn’t breathe without me. Like she used to look at Acan. Now those feelings were directed at me, and she grew mad for me, she wanted to fight for me, which meant more than I could say. I only fell for her even harder in that moment. She stole away every piece of me, making me feel so unbelievably happy. I knew those feelings she brought out in me would keep me strong. They would help me get through this, and then hopefully, I could fight my way back to her and be with her from then on. Acan would have no other reason to send me into battle. At least not without going himself. But I needed Katherine to understand that wh
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 29
-Katherine- It was an awkward meeting with Silver the next day. Not just because I knew her husband was sending my husband to his death but also because of how I had acted the day before. Now I needed to make things right and make Silver like me so she wouldn’t come after me. Darius was right. No matter how much I hated it, I had to play my cards right, or it might come back and bite me in the ass. So, I went to find Silver and her ladies, who were all having a great time in one of the queen’s rooms. They turned quiet as I entered and didn’t seem to even want to look at me. I sighed, feeling like we were all children just acting awful with each other. It felt ridiculous, but I had to swallow my pride and go talk to her. So I walked over there, and Silver, of course, wasn’t looking at me. "Morning," I said. No one answered me, but that was okay. I wished I didn’t even have to say anything. I sat down among the many pillows facing Silver, who was still not looking at me. "I do apolo
