73: Moon’s Blessing
Chapter 73
POV: Queen Tamara Pierce
It took her some time to compose herself after everything that had happened. The betrayal that was slowly lingering inside her heart was just so painful. The trust and friendship that she had given to Kage just vanished in a snap.
Until now, she still couldn’t believe that he could do that to her.
Tamara let out a deep sigh, but sobs mixed with her exhale. It seemed like even her breathing was too heavy to lose. It was clenching her heart.
“Stop crying, Tamara, hmm?” Hades whispered in her ear as he was still hugging her so tightly.
Tamara bit her lower lip as she tried to stifle the sobs that were still escaping her lips. She slowly took a deep breath before letting it go out of her lungs.
She moved a bit, and Hades loosened his grip on her. He gently wiped away the tears from her face.
“I just couldn’t believe that Kage could do t

Chapter 74POV: Prince Raven Pierce“Congratulations. I heard all about it from Elder Zeparu.” He seriously stated as he saw his brother enter the Throne Room.He was sitting in one of the chairs in the room, bored, and cast a quick glance at his brother, who was walking down the red carpet, before looking down at the glass chess board, where he was playing the glass chess pieces—all by himself. He moved the King and let out a deep sigh before he leaned against the seat and intertwined his fingers as he placed his elbows on his knees – while his legs were crossed.Raven stared at his brother intensely – trying to determine what he was thinking right now.And he almost fell from his seat when Hades gave him a small smile. He let out a low curse under his breath as his eyes widened in surprise.One thing that was oddly different to his brother’s attitude was that he never smiled. Well, not after they were already in their teenage years. His brother always became grumpy, menacing, and ru
The King's Mate 75: Chance
Chapter 75POV: Queen Tamara Pierce“Is everything alright?” She worriedly asked Hades as he entered their room.He might not have had to tell her about it, she knew that something was wrong. So, even though, she had a strong desire to hug and kiss him tightly, she had to stop herself from doing so because of the gloominess that was surrounding him – no matter how much he tried to hide it.Tamara didn’t know how she had managed to be sensitive about it, but her pregnant hormones might be helping her right now to be extra sensitive to everyone around her.Besides, she also knew that something was wrong based on how darkened Hades’ aura was – no matter how much he tried to cover it up with his small smile. Her ruthless and sweet husband just couldn’t fake his emotions anymore – not in front of her.“Nothing, wife. How are you?” He acted like nothing was worrying him.Tamara’s brow suddenly shot upwards.“Just tell me, what is happening, Hades. You know how I hate being left in the shado

Chapter 76POV: Kage Esmeray“You?! Who the heck are you and where did you come from?!” He asked in between his gritting teeth.The woman was wearing a black flowy dress with sleeves that reached her wrists.“Tell me, have you decided to take your own life now?” Her cold voice was making him feel eerie.But he was more attentive to what he was she was babbling about. Kage’s forehead furrowed as he squinted his eyes at her – annoyed at her mischievous remarks.“Why do you care, anyway?” He replied in pure irritation – even rolled his eyes at that.The woman just smirked at him – as if she was never bothered by what he was doing – which was making him more curious as to why she was doing this or why she cared about what he wanted to do with his own life.However, despite the fact that he was preoccupied by that thought, he was more am
The King's Mate 77: Discovered
Chapter 77POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe instantly moved away from Kage and faced Hades’ enraged expression. She knew that he could kill Kage in an instant, but she wouldn’t take the chance.Her heart was beating swiftly inside her – she didn’t want any commotion between them. If Kage was telling the truth, creating a greater rift between these two men was surely not a good thing.Hades pulled her towards him, that she bumped into his chest.“Sorry, are you okay?” Hades instantly checked on her, whether she was hurt or something because of his sudden action. Tamara shook her head as she immediately put her hand in his chest – stopping him from doing anything foolish.“I’m fine.” She softly stated.She could see his eyes turning darker, the moment it turned to Kage once again, and she knew that she had to stop him. Hades looked at her and she slightly shook her head once again – asking him to stop being so furious at Kage.He just let out a low groan of frustration, but he still shot K
The King's Mate 78: Mysterious Women
Chapter 78POV: ArlanHe instantly got up from the bed where he was lying. It created an eerie creaking sound, and he couldn’t stop himself from shivering at the creepiness of the place.The place was unfamiliar to him. The walls were made of wood, and the countless white candles gave light to the entire room. One corner of the wall had a hanging shelf where peculiar species of insects, roots, and plants were placed inside the jars. When he saw exotic dead animals like toads, rats, snakes, iguanas, and other animals he couldn't look at, he just wanted to puke. They seemed to be preserved, and he was just grateful that they didn’t emit a foul smell.He grunted as he felt the throbbing pain in his back and his vision was slightly blurred, but he tried to know where he was. He felt so disoriented as he held his aching temple. The indistinct weirdness of the place was making him more uncomfortable with every second that he was staying there.There were some old books stored and neatly arr
The King's Mate 79: Arrival
Chapter 79POV: ArlanHe and the two mysterious women took an unfamiliar path to the foggy and darkest part of the house's far western wing. He didn’t even know whether he was still on the South Side or not.But Tamika confirmed that they were still on the South Side. Apparently, it was the deepest part of the South Side that no one had ever discovered before. He didn’t know how long they had been walking on the dark path and he didn’t know how many times he had almost tripped on the twigs around him, but all that he felt was the painful wound behind him.His exhaustion was almost eating him up, but his strong will was keeping him going – fueling his inner desire to go on and fulfill his duty as the King’s loyal servant.Tamika gave him a wooden crutch to aid him in walking. It was better, though – for he didn’t want any of them to help him with walking. It was hard for him – especially that his arms were forcing his back to move, making his wound ache more.However, his determination
The King's Mate 80: Annoying Creature
Chapter 80POV: King Hades Pierce“So, who is this woman? Why does she need to be here?” He seriously inquired.Silence enveloped amidst them.The moment he saw the two women beside Arlan, he knew that they weren’t just simple women. They seemed peculiar and too furtive – which he didn’t like. He needed to uncover their identities first. Besides, they would be talking about an important matter, which didn’t concern this woman – or that was what he thought of.“They are the ones who saved me from the South Side, Your Majesty. They seemed to know a lot of things, but they didn’t want to disclose them to me. They are also living in the deepest part of the South Side. I can’t pinpoint their real motive for helping me get here.” Arlan anxiously replied.He looked at the woman, who seemed like a lifeless doll – standing in front of them with an u

Chapter 81POV: Queen Tamara PierceShe woke up without Hades by her side. She suddenly felt something was off, and she didn’t know why. Her gut was telling her to go out.Tamara yawned as she got up from her bed and looked around – hoping that Hades was just taking a shower like he used to do. But her forehead creased when she couldn’t feel him around.She felt his warmth a while ago, and the proof was also in the disheveled of the bed where her husband was supposed to be. Then, she looked at the clock with her brows furrowed as it said that it was already past midnight.“Where the heck is he?” She whispered under her breath as she got her robe and covered her revealing nightdress.She was wide awake now as she decided to go out and look for her husband instead. He might be getting overworked again.Ever since the Darkwoods started this conflict, she knew that he was making
