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

-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
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 30
-Darius- I was meeting with my brother again. He had laid out an entire map of where the Dark Ones were hiding. It was a darker side of Adorna, where the sun never seemed to be able to light it up. They enjoyed that darkness and thrived in it, but striking them there would be a fatal mistake, it would only ensure that we would lose the battle. If I was going to be the one fighting them, then I was going to be the one who decided how this was going to happen. "It won’t work," I told my brother. "Of course it will. Strike them hard and fast." "Look at this, Acan," I said, sweeping my hand over the dark side of Adoran. "Does this look like a small landscape to you? Or a dark place that stretches for miles. We do not know where they are hiding. We do not know what tricks they might have up their sleeve. Remember who it is you’re sending out there." I looked at my brother pleadingly, and he seemed to back off a little, leaning back and looking at the whole attack from a new perspectiv
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 31
-Katherine- Darius’s plan was not a bad one. I understood where he was coming from and why he was suggesting it, but the thing was, I didn’t believe we could leave. Adorna needed a better king, and once my dad died, Darius would be king anyway. He would have an important seat to sit on no matter what. Why shouldn’t he be king of us all? Why shouldn’t he be the righteous one? He would definitely be a better one than Acan or his children could ever be. I would not allow Silver and Acan to scare me away anymore. I would fight for what was mine, and I would get my revenge, but how did I explain it to Darius? All he wanted was a quiet life for us and the family we were building. Would he ever agree to my plan, which I knew he would see as nothing but foolish? "Why don’t you think we should go? You hate it here. You always have." "But Darius, I am still a crown princess," I explained. "Even though I married you, I will become queen one day, and you will be my king. We can’t leave court n
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 32
-Katherine- I looked at myself in the mirror, smoothing down the dark, silver dress. I wore Darius and my colors. My red hair was up and braided, and I saw the onyx ring glistening in the lights from the candles. I looked down, turning it a little back and forth. It was so subtle, but I loved it. It was simple, yet it carried such big promises of eternal love. I thought I had eternal love with Acan. I thought the ring he was coming to be was going to be a strong foundation for us, but it wasn’t. We weren’t happy. I thought we were, but it was a lie. This ring on my finger wasn’t a lie. It was true, and I feared this time I was the one not appreciating the meaning of it. I didn’t want to scare Darius or let him down, but I knew we could never be together in a peaceful life with Acan and Silver out there. They were linked to us in a dark and dangerous way that we had to cut. We had to free ourselves so we would never get hurt by them again. I knew it wasn’t as simple as walking away. I

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
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 94
-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-
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 92
-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
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 90
-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
