I was happy. Quite possibly the happiest I’d ever been in my entire life.

Even with Tyrelle seated across from me, that malice-filled glint in his eyes as he stared upon us didn’t bother me as it once had.

This had always been the plan. From the very start, we were to infiltrate the Moon Kingdom via marriage and then remove its black heart.

The games, the cruelty that had spread far and wide—it needed to stop. King Tyrelle’s rule was unjust and wicked, and he only grew in strength and cruelty as the years sped by.

The first time I met my future wife, she was fucking another male in the fields. If that hadn’t cemented what I was there to do, I wasn’t sure what else could. But even then, mere minutes after he’d no doubt spilled his seed inside her, she’d managed to make me forget for a few breathless heartbeats.

They say she’s the most beautiful creature in all the land.

To that I would say beauty meant nothing when they’re rotten on the inside.

I quickly learned just how rotten she could be. A brat with too much unchecked power, unspent anger, and unshed grief. But oh, how I’d learned of other things too.

Nothing was ever as it seemed, and there were no truer words for Allureldin’s princess.

Audra acted upon feelings, instinct, and instruction that laid buried deep. If you looked closely, she was surely flawed—perhaps more than most of us—but she was also a product of her upbringing, of the horrors she’d beheld when only a child.

She was wicked, yes, but she was also more. She was unshakably loyal to those she showed a glimmer of affection for and honest. It was that honesty that so often got the people talking.

Audra had this unapologetic way of saying what she meant, what she felt, and acting upon it while the majority of the rest of us harbored our hurts, our real urges and thoughts, and pretended they didn’t exist.

She was cruel. She was caring. She was horrid. She was devoted. She was intimidating. She was confident.

The contradictions could be listed for days, and for those reasons, it was no surprise I became enamored with her. That my eyes became a slave to every move she made. That my heart changed its beat whenever I felt that violent magic of hers approach.

My parents couldn’t know.

Not only did they think their son incapable of loving Audra, but they also wouldn’t have listened to me if I’d told them she was different. That if I ruled alongside her, the fear and unrest created by Tyrelle’s rule could and would be squashed.

Yet they found out, and it was all my fault. I’d given up caring if my affection, the way I was growing to adore the brute’s daughter, would be realized for all that it was.

I was falling in love.

And by the time she welcomed me inside her body, I had already hit the ground hard enough to create fissures in the earth.

When they realized what had happened, I tried.
