All Chapters of His Unbeloved Queen: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

-Katherine- I didn’t quite get why Darius changed so fast out of the blue. He seemed almost angry as he pulled me into a little common room and then turned me to him, crossing his arms and looking very unsatisfied with me. "What?" I asked, and he shook his head. "What?" "You’re not queen." "Thank you for pointing out the obvious," I said sarcastically. "No, listen to me," he pleaded. "What?" "You can’t say stuff like that. You might be my wife, but if you accuse the actual queen here of cheating, what do you think will happen?" he asked. I had not realized what he was saying before he pointed it out to me. I had been queen for ten years. The only person who couldn’t talk bad about me was me. I had forgotten what it was like to be the one who had to be careful of what they were saying. Darius was right. Just because he was Acan’s brother did not mean that I was protected from insulting his wife. No matter what had been done in the past… future… former life, I couldn’t forget tha

-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

-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

-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

-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
