-Katherine-No one spoke during the entire dinner, and Silver attacked her food with such force that her fork and knife screeched against the plate. Acan and I exchanged glances, clearly both feeling the tension in the air. I knew what was bothering her. Acan, on the other hand, seemed oblivious, unable to pick up on the subtle signs of a woman doubting her husband’s loyalty. But while I wasn’t ready for a full-blown confrontation with Silver, I welcomed the brewing chaos.Acan departed before we did, and once it was just Silver, the servant, and me—who was taking the children away—she turned to me, her eyes glowing with an inner fire.“Lovely evening, isn’t it?” I asked, breaking the silence.“What are you doing?” she shot back.“In regards to what?”“Why are you and Acan spending so much time together while I lie in bed?” she inquired, her tone accusatory.“Because Darius isn’t here,” I explained. “We both miss him terribly, and we thought it was a good idea to spend some time togeth

Chapter 51

-Darius-A thought had lingered in my mind for a while, and since I wasn’t planning another attack against the Dark Ones at the moment, I considered something else. It was a foolish plan, and I was likely to get killed because of it, but what choice did I have?In the dead of night, when my powers were heightened by the darkness, I snuck out to my horse, leading him between the tents instead of through the camp so that no one would see me leave. Once I was far enough from the camp, I mounted him and rode toward the forest. As a Dark One, I could see much better in the darkness, and I had no trouble guiding my horse through it. However, I dismounted before entering the trees, not wanting to take him with me. I removed my sword, knowing they would perceive it as a threat, and tied it to his saddle. I left him there and walked the final distance on foot.Standing before the forest, I felt a power awakening within me, but I knew others didn’t experience this feeling. As I walked deeper ins

Chapter 52

-Darius-The Dark One in front of me, their leader, looked at me with a sinister smile spreading across his lips. So, you aren’t the real Dark Prince?” he questioned, pacing back and forth.“I am, but I’m not this time’s Dark Prince,” I explained. “I altered some things to ensure my wife wouldn’t die.”“But she wasn’t your wife in the other life, was she?” he asked.“No…”“But you still sacrificed everything for her?” he inquired.“I had to,” I admitted.“Why?”“Because I cannot live without her,” I explained.“And did she love you?” he asked.“Now she does.”“Now that she is your wife?”“She knows everything. She understands what happened. I changed the world, after all, but only we know,” I said.“And now I do as well,” he pointed out.“I think we might have a shared goal.”“Oh?”“You don’t want us here.”“Obviously,” he replied.“Many think you’re mindless beasts hungry for power.”“We do like power,” he chuckled darkly.“But you don’t leave your home much for a reason. I advised my

Chapter 53

-Darius-I didn’t like where this was heading. I had hoped for more.“I don’t want blood on her hands,” I told him.“Who says she has to get them dirty? I’m sure she could find someone to pay,” he taunted.“I want to go home and help her. That’s why I’m offering this deal!”“What deal? You haven’t said anything,” he teased.“When I’m king—”“Oh, when you’re king, we can suddenly leave this place? We like it here.”“But no one would ever bother you again,” I insisted.“Trust me, we can protect ourselves. Your kind has always underestimated us.”“I’m nothing like them!” I snapped.“Then who the fuck are you, Dark Prince?” he spat.“Good question. What I know is that I love my wife,” I admitted.“And clearly, you are willing to change the whole world for her.”“Yes, I am.”“Are you willing to kill?”“I am,” I said without hesitation.“Very interesting. I didn’t know Dark Ones could love,” he mocked.“That’s because everyone crumbles under our love,” I countered.He seemed intrigued by thi

Chapter 54

-Katherine-I sat in the library for a long time, unsure what to think or feel. I was overwhelmed by everything I had learned—not just about my powers but also about what Darius had done. I rubbed my temple, thinking it all through. I had to focus on getting Darius back. That had to be my number one priority.I grabbed the heavy book and took it with me as I walked back to my bedroom. I set it down and approached my desk to write. First, I wrote a letter to Darius, telling him to stay strong and that I believed in him. Our child was growing, and he or she would need Darius when he returned. He had to keep that in mind. I folded the letter and sealed it before writing a much more important one to my father.I explained how worried I was about Darius and expressed my desire to visit. I hoped he would accept. I needed someone on my side, and who better than my father? I grabbed the letters and went to find two ravens to carry them. Then I left to find Acan.I was surprised to find him in

Chapter 55

-Darius-Quinn and I didn’t speak much after my revelation. We stood in the middle of the camp, clearly unable to find words, but what could we possibly say?“How about my powers?” Quinn asked.“Your powers are incredible, but I can tell you who falls into the cracks or not,” I replied. “You saw how many we lost by doing what you did.”He nodded, acknowledging my point.“What about you?” he inquired.“What about me?” I asked.“You’re like them,” he pointed out.“I’m nothing like them.”“I mean, your powers are.”“Quinn, where are you going with this?” I questioned.“What if you used yours?” he suggested. “You must have something hidden. I’ve seen you use fire.”“You do know that’s a stolen power, right?” I replied.“I know.”“I can’t do much else besides that. I’m a Dark One, raised among all the Light Ones. I’ve done my best to prove I’m different. I can’t risk all of that now.”“But maybe you should. Maybe it’s necessary to win this war!” he urged.“In order to gain those powers, I h

Chapter 56

-Darius-“Do it,” Quinn urged me.“Quinn, I’m not taking your powers,” I replied.“You could probably use them better than me.”“No, I could not.”“Dark Ones rarely need time to learn. You could,” he insisted.“Quinn, I’m not doing it, and I won’t ask anyone else to either,” I informed him. “So lower your hand.” He sighed, but I reached out, placing my hand on his shoulder and offering a small smile. “But I admire your bravery.”Quinn smiled back, but then a realization hit me. This felt like a repeat of the past. I lowered my hand, staring at it as if it weren’t my own. Quinn noticed and looked at me quizzically.“What?” he asked.I focused on him and shook my head. “Nothing,” I whispered.As I glanced around, I marveled at my own ability. For a moment, I was unsure what to do with myself. I felt Quinn’s eyes on me again, and I turned to him, forcing a smile.“I have something we need to do.”“Oh?”“Come with me,” I ordered, waving him along. I had to stop the Dark Ones from killing t

Chapter 57

-Darius-I walked through the camp early in the morning, observing everyone preparing for battle. They nodded at me as I passed, but I could see the nervousness etched on many faces. We had lost so many in our last encounter with the Dark Ones, and sending more men into the forest had only heightened the tension. The air was thick with apprehension, almost suffocating.I made my way toward the large meeting tent, where the other generals were already gathered. I checked to see if they were ready. Today, we would all fight. I had made that clear.“Ready?” I asked, forcing a smile.Some of them took a swig of wine before nodding stiffly, which only made me smile more. We all exited our tents, forming a line in front of the forest. I positioned the light witches further back to help create illumination should the rain start again. As expected, it did. I thought we would have to wait hours for anything to happen, enduring their taunts, but soon the sky darkened, and I noticed a massive sha

Chapter 58

-Katherine-“Katherine!” My father, no longer the young man he once was, still hurried down the grand stone staircase, my mother yelling after him not to run. It was a comical sight. Yet my mother laughed, shaking her head in amusement as my father approached, helping me down from my horse. Maybe I should have taken the carriage. I wasn’t as small anymore, and my growing belly made it harder to move around.The moment my feet hit the ground, my father hugged me tightly. I had guards around me who also dismounted, waiting for us to move.“You’re home!” he exclaimed, his happiness clear as he embraced me even harder.“And pregnant. Don’t break me,” I teased.He stepped back, his eyes filled with pride and love as he glanced down at my rounded stomach.“I can’t wait to meet them,” he said.“We both can’t.”At that moment, my mother joined us, hugging me more gently. I had inherited her red hair, although hers was a darker shade. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and I knew

Chapter 59

-Katherine-“Katherine!” my mother scolded.“It’s not a lie,” I replied. “Acan knows the Dark Ones should not be messed with, but he would rather let his brother die than stop this.”“Katherine, be careful!” my father warned.“No, I know, but neither of you can deny that this war is pointless,” I told them.They exchanged glances. I could tell they didn’t agree with me, but because Acan was king, they had to provide soldiers and support.“War is never pretty,” my father said.“I know. I just don’t understand why Darius had to go.”My parents exchanged another glance, and then my mother clasped her hands together, lightening the mood and changing the subject.“We’ve prepared a party in two days to welcome you home,” she announced.“Mother,” I sighed, shaking my head. “Does everyone need to see how my dresses don’t fit like they used to?”That made them laugh, and I couldn’t help but smile.“Come now, you glow!” my mother said. “Everyone will be so happy to see how you’re growing.”I did
