The King of Caspian Accountability
Chapter 12 - AccountabilityGarren Only a handful of things in my life caught me by surprise. Things that captured my attention so tightly that I had to pinch myself to ensure I wasn't dreaming, and Penelope was one of those things. I watched her green eyes widen as she took in my Kingdom, and my chest swelled with pride. The amazement written all over her face at the sight before her, even though it was nighttime, was all it took for the knots in my stomach to ease. Though they wouldn't disappear entirely, no, the knots would come back with vengeance as soon as the sun rose and brought us a new day. As soon as my Kingdom was aware of who and what Penelope was to me. But I forgot all the troubles for a moment as I took in the beautiful sight of my mate. I had always loved seeing people's reactions when they arrived in Caspian for the first time. It reminded me of how fortunate I was to rule such a beautiful place. Not that I ever forgot it, but it was nice to see we weren't the o
Last Updated : 2022-11-16The King of Caspian Vow
Chapter 13 - Vow PenelopeI had never seen so much gold in one place in my life. From floor to ceiling, something was touched with gold. Whether it be an ornate chandelier, the crown moulding, or even a handle. And paired with the gold was white, so much white I feared that even a simple touch would mark it. It was shocking and wasn't how I pictured a castle that belonged to a dragon to look at all. Was I stereotyping by assuming that all dragons lived in caves or creepy stone castles, yes? But it wasn't entirely my fault, blame it on ignorance, but I had grown up not really knowing much else besides the world of Fae and humans. Human fairy tales didn't even hit close to the mark on any of that stuff, and dragons didn't really welcome just anyone into their world, so Fae tales of the realm weren't that helpful either. "And this is your room," Gregory said, a little too chipper, snapping me from my thoughts. His gray eyes lit up as he gave me an all-too-fake smile. His light brown h

Chapter 14 - Restless PenelopeI heard a distant buzzing sound, pulling me from my restless sleep. I rubbed my eyes as the vibrating got louder, feeling my way across the obscenely huge bed. My fingers brushed across the nightstand until I found my phone. Squinting against the bright light, I looked at Hilary's picture smiling back at me. I cursed as I scrambled to get up from bed. After my and Garren's argument, if you could call it that, I had completely forgotten to call her to let her know I wouldn't be there this morning. I looked at the time; it was five am when we usually called one another while we got ready. I wasn't sure how the time difference worked for the dragon realm, but in Ontario, it would mean it was eight am. I swiped the green button bringing my phone to my ear, clearing my throat."Hello.""Wow, so you do know how to work your phone. Here I was, thinking that maybe you hit your head, got amnesia, and forgot how your phone worked. Because surely you wouldn't j
Last Updated : 2022-11-24The King of Caspian Respect
Chapter 15 - Respect Penelope I tried my best to bury the unease that was working its way through my chest. A lot of these people were bigger than me, but I was used to being the smallest in a group. For a she-wolf, I was tiny, but what I lacked in height, I made up for in speed and precision. I trained with my brother and the warriors of the Bloodstone pack. I may not have had the experience that most Fae and Dragon warriors got, but I still had some under my belt before I had left for the academy, and then I got more hand-to-hand combat there too. Yes, humans were weaker than other species, but that didn't mean I slacked. I worked hard; I could do this; I had to do this. I knew what Mildred was doing. She was trying to psych me out, and I couldn't let her get the upper hand. I came here to prove Garren wrong, and it started the second we walked through that portal. So I swallowed the lump that was forming in my throat and nodded. "Right," I said before making my way towards H

Chapter 16 - Irritation Garren"No, I'm not." Penelope ground out. She swung her legs off the side of the bed, taking a deep breath to steady herself, letting me know that she wasn't as healed as she wanted to lead me to believe. Once the world stopped spinning for her, she slowly turned her head, so she was looking at me once again."You can't tell me what to do, Garren. I'm fine. It comes with the territory. I'll heal." Penelope practically growled. Her eyes were ringed with blue and purple: and her lower lip and eyebrow were split. Yet she still managed to glare at me, her emerald green eyes swirling with the promise of a fight if I continued to push it. Her inability to understand why I told her this was a terrible idea was infuriating. As soon as Mildred informed me of Penelope's situation, I left my throne room, leaving Gregory to handle the organization of my next hearing. The people could wait for another few hours while I sorted this out. Though from Mildred's description,
Last Updated : 2022-11-27The King of Caspian Games
Chapter 17 - Games Penelope My body hurt, muscles I didn't even know existed ached, and I knew they would return with a vengeance come morning. My wolf healing could only work so fast while I worked myself to the brink of exhaustion. My fingertips were raw from shooting arrow after arrow at the targets before me. The skin was angry and red; every time I released an arrow, the wounds would reopen, making me hiss from the stinging pain. Shooting a gun and hitting the center of a target every time was a walk in a park compared to this. Everything that came with being good at archery came from years of practice, and I definitely didn't have that training. Not yet, anyway. "Focus, Penelope. Calm your breathing and keep your eye on the target. Hold your arm steady." I adjusted my grip and tightened my fingers around the wooden bow. I drew back the arrow with my right hand lining it up with my ear as I peered down the bow at the target that was in front of me. If the target were alive,

Chapter 18 - Temptation Garren I didn't want to have this dinner, not because I didn't want to be near Penelope or because I didn't want her to meet my parents. It was the exact opposite, actually; I did want those things, and therein lies the problem. After only two days, I found myself thinking more about her and everything I wanted to do with her. After I had gotten word of what had happened to her, I all but lost my mind. It was dangerous for both of us to resist our bond. And the longer she was here, the harder it would soon become for me to give her the option to leave anymore. But instead of forcing us to stay separate, I sat quietly and listened to my parents ask Penelope all sorts of questions, questions I wished I could have asked her. It was while sitting here that I realized I had to tackle this from a different angle. Trying to force her to leave only made her want to do the exact opposite, and for her safety, I needed her to go of her own free will before someone cha

Chapter 19 - Warrior Penelope "This is stupid," I muttered as I pulled a black t-shirt over my head. "So, so, so stupid," I repeated as I slid on a pair of leather pants and boots. Garren hadn't given me much to go on for attire, but I figured a t-shirt, pants, and boots was a safe bet as any. "It's not, Poppy. Our mate invited us out with him. It's the first step towards something." Kyra reassured me, but I could still hear the faint twinge of uncertainty in her voice.Hope was a dangerous thing; it destroyed worlds and created monsters when it was lost. It was why I made a silent vow to myself last night that I wouldn't hope for anything more than just a day out with Garren. I blew out a heavy breath, playing with my hair as I tried to recreate the braids Mildred had done for me yesterday. It turns out it is a lot harder to do something like that without any previous braiding skills. I gave up and pulled my hair up into a high ponytail.Better than nothing. A soft knock sounde

The King of Caspian Epilogue
Epilogue. *Two Weeks later*"You mean to tell me you learned to do this in six months? Six months!" Hilary panted, dropping the arrow for the sixth time. She leaned down, picking it up with a frustrated growl. I let out a chuckle shaking my head. "Yes, but I was just as terrible as you were in the start, and I only got better because I was forced to spend twelve hours a day training." Hilary scoffed, aiming her arrow at the closet target once again."Plus, you're a werewolf. Which, by the way, is fucking mind-blowing. I don't think I'll ever recover from your weird magical family heritage." Hilary continued."You'll get over it eventually." I teased.Hilary released her arrow, flopping on the ground halfway between her and the target. She tossed the bow on the ground, throwing up her hands. A few warriors who had decided to watch the spectacle unfold snickered, earning a glare from my fearless partner. "I give up. Can we do that sheering thing back to the castle? I think I'm over
The King of Caspian Love
Chapter 56 - Love Penelope The return to my room was a hazy dream. I barely remembered walking there, let alone getting myself cleaned up and into bed before passing out. But I had done all of that at some point, considering a soft knock at my door was now waking me up.I knew at least a couple of hours had passed by from the darkness of the sky above. Garren had reassured me that I would be left alone until it was time for me to get ready for our big debut as king and queen this evening. My family had surrounded me after the battle, pulling me in for hugs, ignoring the blood and dirt covering my entire body as they congratulated me and told me how proud they were. Though my mother did threaten my life if I ever entered something so dangerous ever again, my father and brothers both agreed. Balor, on the other hand, decided to give me a few critiques that earned him a scolding from his brother and sisters. My body wasn't as sore as it was after the battle, but exhaustion still clung
The King of Caspian Slayer of Monsters
Chapter 55 - Slayer of Monsters Garren The preparations for the battle were a strenuous six long month headache that involved endless amounts of planning, enduring countless meetings and trying to steal as many quiet moments with my mate as possible. But no amount of preparation or training could prepare me for what I was forced to witness eight now. Ophir was just beneath my skin, the urge to shift almost overwhelming me as I watched Penelope fight for her life.Everything was in her favour until Delmira shifted, then all hell broke loose, and Penelope went from having a chance to win the battle to being mere seconds away from it all ending. The spell I had made with Solace started to kick in, but I was afraid I was already too late. The pain in my leg and side slowly grew as I siphoned her injuries—enough to help her heal and fight but not enough to kill me. I could take any damage away from her except a strike to the heart or through the head. My magic healed me just as fast as
The King of Caspian Battle
Chapter 54 - BattlePenelope"Breath," Mildred whispered as we approached the ring where mine and Delmira's battle would take place. It was huge, made of stone like almost everything in Caspian. It reminded me of the gladiator arenas back in Roman times, except this one was three times as big to accommodate such gigantic shifters. I had never seen the arena before, apparently all by design to keep me from freaking out, or so Garren told me this morning before leaving to finish the rest of today's preparations. "I am." I ground out. Lira let out a breathy laugh but quickly stifled it as I glared at her. I was on edge, nervous about the outcome of this battle. The same questions circled my head again and again.Had I improved enough? Did I have enough time to train correctly? Was this all a fool's errand? "We have this, Penelope. When we were together, we're unstoppable." Kyra encouraged, trying her best to mask her nervousness too. I took another deep breath as we entered the long
The King of Caspian Closure
Chapter 53 - ClosurePenelope Home, that's what my pack territory should have felt like as I entered through the portal into the Bloodstone territory. Now though, the place where I had grown up, where I had trained and dreamed of helping grow one day, felt anything but that. Almost like it was a distant memory, one that was dulled compared to the memories I had clung to in my head for the last six months. I may have lived in Vancouver for the last four years, but even still, it had always been my place to come to when I needed an escape, to regroup my thoughts and rebuild my confidence for the road ahead. Now though, I felt like an outsider looking in, and the outcast feeling seemed more evident as I walked through the familiar streets searching for my parents and brother.Everyone seemed to stop what they were doing to stare at Garren and me, all casting wary glances in our direction, some even whispering not so quietly about who my mate was and what had happened between us. Gar
The King of Caspian Dragon Heart
Chapter 52 - Dragon HeartHunter Life was a gamble; that was what I had learned in my early youth. Unfortunately, the truth of that statement was made abundantly clear when the war started, and I was hit on both fronts regarding the loss of loved ones and comrades. First, the death of Garren's brother and then my parents, followed by many, many others. I shut down after the war and closed off everyone as much as possible. I was as unpredictable and mean as Falkoor and thought it safer this way.I believed shutting everyone out kept me in control of the demon within. Only trusting Falkoor when Garren was around to help command and keep him in line when I lost control. But it did the opposite. It put my friends and our people at risk of an outburst. So today was meant to change that. The last few months had pushed me to open up more. It forced me to let more people into my circle and ease the grip on my dragon.When Penelope arrived, I thought she wouldn't last more than a week in ou
The King of Caspian Risks
Chapter 51 - RisksPenelopeI stared at Opal, my eyes narrowing as I focused on her movement, from how her chest rose and fell to how her fingers twitched, looking for any tell that would give me a hint of her next attack. Except with the twins, it was never that easy; it was like staring at a wall and waiting for it to speak. Their years of training made it almost nearly impossible to predict or detect anything the sisters were going to do.Opal and Odessa were as trained as one could be, putting even the most trained warriors within the capital to shame. Opal's copper hair dancing in the wind was the only thing that moved as she stared us down. The constant state of unease when fighting her made Kyra anxious. "Steady," I warned Kyra, her presence just beneath my skin. "I know, they're just so-" unpredictable was what Kyra was just about to say when Opal struck. I twisted away from her sword just as Odessa attacked from behind. Two people at once. That was how far I had progressed
The King of Caspian Sacrifice
Chapter 50 - Sacrifice Garren One week, somehow, time seemed to slip by faster than I had ever experienced before. It got lost in the stolen moments with Penelope and in the long and strenuous days of dealing with the council when I wasn't watching her train. The snow had started to melt, the air becoming warmer as it delivered the promise of spring. And with it, a reminder of the battle that we had been training her for was fast approaching.Penelope didn't sleep in her room anymore; somewhere in the last few months, she had made my room her own. I couldn't say I didn't enjoy it; I honestly couldn't remember what it was like before she filled it with her scent and warming presence, and I didn't ever want to. I never realized how much I would love this, love her until I had her, and now I knew that I had to do everything within my power to ensure I got to keep her. It was why I was here now, the last place I wanted to be ever after five hundred years; I hadn't been able to look at
The King of Caspian Distractions
Chapter 49 - Distractions PenelopeIt was strange walking into a room full of humans, all of them none the wiser to the shifters that lived amongst them. I had no idea what this event was for, but I assumed it was for another one of Balor's clients. He was always selling himself, constantly marketing, working an angle to gain new clients and make more deals. Going all out to impress the richest of the rich, and tonight was no exception. An orchestra played on the stage; people danced on the dance floor. Tables littered the rest of the room, While people filled the seats, eating the tiny expensive hors d'oeuvres while discussing their next business ventures and big vacation. Staff walked around with trays of champagne and food. The three giant chandeliers above us twinkled against the crystal jewels as they hung effortlessly from the vaulted ceilings. Ribbon also hung from the ceiling; performers twirled and fell from the long silken ribbon as they entertained everyone who watched.
