His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 40
-Katherine- Silver’s birthday came around, and I was missing Darius like crazy. He had been gone for almost three weeks now, but I knew he must only have just arrived on the dark side of Adorna. I knew the journey would take a while, especially with the number of men following him. So, I hoped the battle hadn’t begun yet. I hoped Darius would be smart about this and not charge headfirst into danger. It would kill me if I received a message about his demise. I begged every night for the Goddess to look after him. I begged her to bring him back to me, and I begged that she listen to me. I had my own battles to fight, though. Every day, I had to act like I was on Silver’s side. I had to stroke her ego and Acan’s. I had to act as if I was actually on their side, even though I wasn’t. Every day I proved to the people why their king and queen never cared about them and why their princess and prince took their problems and issues seriously. I proved to them over and over why I was a person
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 41
-Katherine- The night went on, and Silver continued to chat and drink, getting a bit drunk. I settled for that one cup of wine, even though I would have loved to forget about the whole night. Soon Silver found it hard to coordinate her own limbs, and I knew she was making a slight embarrassment out of herself. I didn’t try to stop her, but I poured more wine into her cup, making sure it was never empty. This way, everyone would see what a drunk their queen was. I saw the dirty looks Silver got as her ladies did their best to keep her under control. Soon, her noise and yelling drew Acan to us. He did not look very pleased as Silver hung on one of her ladies, talking loudly and laughing. "What is going on here?" he asked. "Are you drunk?" "Noooo," Silver said, waving a hand in the air. "We haven’t even danced yet," he scolded lowly. I could see how his face almost turned red as he looked at his drunk wife. I took a small sip of my own cup, acting as if I wasn’t at fault for her dru

-Katherine- Acan led me to my room, telling me goodnight. I thanked him, and we chatted for a little while before he went off. I watched him until he disappeared around a corner, feeling so good about myself. This was going better than I thought, and I couldn’t help but feel fantastic about everything. I felt on top of the world, almost. I walked inside my room, letting out my excitement and almost dancing towards the bed before falling down on it. "Katherine, you evil genius," I whispered, feeling so excited, but when I reached out towards the other side, I felt the emptiness. I turned and saw where Darius used to lie in bed with me. Goddess, I missed him, and all that excitement just went away. "You will come back to me." I reached out, stroking the empty side, like I could almost demand he come back to me. I really hoped he was okay and that the fighting hadn’t begun yet. -Darius- I stood by a big fire while most of the camp slept. We had begun planning our first attack, which

-Katherine- Dear Katherine… We have just arrived on the dark side of Adorna. I can almost feel its call. It makes me feel like all the hard work I have done is for nothing. But I know who I am, and I am not one of them. I do see that I am not like the other witches, either. Like you, I feel stuck in the middle. The generals are fighting me. Some of the men don’t trust me, considering who I am and what I can do. I try my hardest to keep us strong and united. We must stand together as we finally attack in a little while. I go scouting a lot, seeing if the forest has any weaknesses. So far, I have not found anything. It worries me. I do not know how this battle will end. I hope it will be with us victorious, so I can come back to you. I miss you. I miss your warmth and your beautiful smile. I miss everything about you. It’s cold in the night without you by my side. I can’t wait to see you again. Darius. I let the letter fall on my desk before I sat down myself and began writing a let
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 44
-Katherine- The day went by quite fast working with Acan, and he became more and more chatty the more time we spent together. It was sort of interesting to suddenly talk to him as if we were friends. I had been his wife for so many years, but now I was only his sister-in-law, and that changed the dynamic between us. I had never noticed how condescending he had truly been towards me when I was his queen or how dismissive he was. He didn’t actually put much effort into talking to me, but now he did. Now he seemed interested in anything I had to say. It only fueled my anger because I realized how truly unloved I had been. How much Acan did not wish me near. How I couldn’t wait to completely destroy him. "So what do you hope for? A boy or a girl?" I asked. "Oh, a hard choice," he chuckled. Was it? He had two boys, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t even want one girl. He seemed to think a princess couldn’t do much except marry. It was making me angry. "I will be happy no matter
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 45
-Darius- We decided to attack in the middle of the day. The night would have granted them too much of an advantage. The big army was gathered on a hill with me in the front, along with lots of fire witches and light witches. We needed all the light we could get. It was so quiet on the day we decided to attack. It was like all the animals knew what was going to come. I was unsure exactly how this would go. I feared the worst, but I believed this time it was better to expect the worst. The Dark Ones were not going down without a fight, and I felt them almost watching us. I felt them keeping a sharp eye on all of us to see what we might do. I looked at the big and dark forest, wondering how it was living there and what their world looked like. I was probably the only one interested in finding out, but I wouldn’t let that stop me. I wouldn’t let that stop me from doing what I had to do. Everyone was just waiting for my command. "Are we ready?" I asked the fire witch closest to me. "We a

-Katherine- My sweet Katherine… The battle didn’t at all go the way I had hoped. We thought there were so few of them. We thought they were fighting each other, making their own numbers dwindle. We were so wrong. They work together. They know how to fight and stand strong. They may seem barbaric, but they aren’t. They are clever. So much more clever than I ever anticipated, and now I do not know how to continue. I am scared for myself and my men. I am scared at how they doubt me, but also at how I can save them from getting killed. Each time a life is lost, they need someone to blame, and I am there. I will gladly accept that responsibility, though, if I just knew how to save the rest. But I am unsure if we will ever be able to win this war. You should have seen the dark wave coming towards us. You would have thought we were doomed as well. I really hope we are not, though. I pray I can come home to you again. I pray for a solution every day, but it won’t be long before I have to ma
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 47
-Katherine- After finally snapping out of my trance and waiting outside the infirmary, one of her ladies came out. She only glanced at me with a dark look, then stormed off. I believed she was going to find Acan, but I didn’t think it was good news she was bringing. Slowly, I inched closer towards the infirmary, hearing crying and screaming from inside. The screaming didn’t sound full of fear anymore. Just an agonizing scream from losing something. I didn’t think Silver would care that much. She didn’t care about her existing children. Why would she care about one that hadn’t been born yet? But it didn’t make the guilt go away. I didn’t know the bracelet might do this to her. I didn’t know that it might make her lose the child. Shit… What have I done? I moved so slowly that Acan and the young lady were able to come back before I had even entered the room. Acan stormed inside with the lady, and I remained outside instead. I fell against the wall, feeling like I could hardly breathe. 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-

-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
