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 Chapter 48
-Darius- I read the tragic news of Silver’s pregnancy. I didn’t like her at all, but I didn’t wish for the pregnancy to end in such a way. One letter was from Acan, talking about it shortly, but then one from my wife worried me more. She spoke of how she believed it was her fault for Silver losing the baby, and I was unsure how to respond to that. I knew Katherine was willing to go far to destroy Acan’s and Silver’s lives, but this was something else. Katherine did write to me that she hadn’t thought that was what was going to happen. When she bought the bracelet, she had seen Silver end up in an accident, but that could have killed the child too. My wife’s anger was blinding her, making her do something she didn’t know she was capable of, and I couldn’t help her because of how far away I was from her. I couldn’t just return home to her and fix the mess she had gotten herself into. Somehow, she would have to figure this out on her own. At least she had removed the bracelet from Silve
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 49
-Katherine- Things had changed a lot since Silver’s miscarriage. I noticed the clear cracks between her and Acan. Something dark had settled between them. I couldn’t quite say what it was, and I felt bad for enjoying it a little. I was the reason why these cracks had appeared, and while I didn’t mind seeing the anger shimmering in their eyes as they looked at each other, I did feel bad for the unborn baby who had to pay the price. I had put the bracelet away, though. I had made sure no one had found it or that Silver was even looking for it. I had made it seem less valuable than it was, and she had thought there was no reason to look for it anymore. She had grown quite distant, though, not wanting to talk to many people and drinking more, which only made Acan draw further away from her. I had begun to spy a little on him, seeing if he might be meeting with any women behind Silver’s back, but so far I had found nothing. He and I, on the other hand, were spending lots of time together.
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 50
-Katherine- No one said a word through the entire dinner, and Silver was attacking her food with the fork and knife, cutting so hard it made screeching sounds. Acan and I glanced at each other, finding it very weird. I knew, of course, what was bothering her. Acan, on the other hand, seemed more oblivious to it, not able to pick up on the subtle signs of a woman doubting her husband’s loyalty. I saw it, though, and even though I was not ready for a battle between Silver and me, a true showdown, I was happy about the chaos that was evolving. It would explode at some point. We couldn’t avoid it, but I would like to wait a little longer, just to make sure I stood stronger before she came after me. Besides, I didn’t want something to happen to my child. At least she couldn’t accuse me of being pregnant with her husband’s child since I had gotten pregnant before Darius left. Acan did leave before we did, and when it was just Silver and me and a servant taking the children away, she turned
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 51
-Darius- A thought had lingered in my mind for a while, and since I was not going to do another attack against the Dark Ones at the moment, I thought of something else. It was a foolish plan of mine, and I was most likely going to get killed because of it, but what choice did I have? I was too scared to make a move at the moment, especially after the wonderful gift of heads they gave us. I had to be the one willing to make a sacrifice now, but I believed it was best no one knew what my plans were. So in the middle of the night, when my own powers were much more powerful because of the darkness, I snuck to my horse, leading him in between the tents instead of through the camp, so no one would see me leave. When I was far enough away from the camp, I got on his back and rode towards the forest. Because I was a Dark One, I could see much better in the darkness, and I had no problems leading my horse there. I got off his back, though, not wanting to take him with me in there. I took off m
His Unbeloved Queen Chapter 52
-Darius- The Dark One in front of me, their leader, looked at me with an evil smile spreading on his lips. I was unsure if I was doing the right thing here. Maybe I was just giving him everything—the best way to destroy me, the best way to throw Adorna into chaos—or maybe we could help each other. Maybe I had to sell my soul. I was unsure, but I had to figure it out. I missed Katherine, and I did not want all those men out there to die. I did not want to die myself. But it was a good question to ask if I would gain anything from revealing all of this. Maybe I was dooming all of us, but what choice did I have? Another battle would only result in more deaths. Who knew how many were hiding in here? Who knew how many I would have to take down just to get back to Katherine? If there was an easier way, I had to take it. I had to try, at least. "So, you aren’t the real Dark Prince?" he questioned, pacing a little back and forth. "I am, but I am not this time's Dark Prince," I explained. "
