Chapter thirty-two

That stain of a son of mine is going to meet his fucking end at the tip of my blade. He’s been nothing but useless since he was born. Every task I’ve ever given him, he’s disappointed me miserably. I blame Dax and that fucking instructor, Miles. If he isn’t dead already, I hope I can string him up next to the lot of them for the kingdom to see at my coronation.

“Sire,” the guard comes to an abrupt stop just inside the door of the smoking room. I stop pacing to turn and look at him.

“What have you found?” I snap.

“A messenger is here, a Loema guard. From Ravendene.” He says quickly, and my eyes narrow as he waves in another guard clad in brushed black armor and a deeper black Raven on a crescent moon emblem across the chest. Not an emblem I have seen a Loema soldier display before…“First commander, Pascal, of Loema.”

“Soren.” The man addresses me without title, and the immediate disrespect causes my blood to heat.

“If you come here to—”

“I came with a missive from the King of Aldramani.” He interrupts, and I take a moment to stare at the man who clearly has a death wish.

“I am the King of Aldramani,” I growl. He doesn’t respond; he only lifts his hand, his eyes never lowering. He holds an envelope addressed to me with the same emblem on his chest, sealing the letter. My jaw clenches tight as I rip it from his hand. I turn from the guards and storm to the hearth, ripping open the letter.

Soren,

As you may now realize, despite your best efforts, you no longer hold me prisoner in Castenelle. Accept this as your only warning—and my official claim on the throne of the kingdom.

Raelle is the rightful heir, and as her bonded mate, forged by fire and blood, I now am King of Aldramani. You have always wanted my shadows, and now I can promise you this: you will have them.

They will be your death.

King of Aldramani-Dax Fornax-Ravendene

I crush the paper in my fist. When I lift my eyes to meet the guard Pascal’s smug, knowing look, it sends me over the edge. I crumble the letter, tossing it to the floor, and swipe the mantle above the hearth clear. Bottles and baubles litter the floor in shattered ruin as I lose the waging war with my own anger. Osiris walks in just as I am charging the disrespectful guard with a death wish and blocks my advance.

“What is this?” Osiris asks, looking between myself and Pascal. That smug smile wiped from his face with a look of disgusted anger. “Were you attacking a messenger?” He says, dismissing the target of my anger.

“Don’t you fucking chastise me! This is my kingdom, and I will do whatever I fucking please!” I move to step around the mountain of a prince, but he sidesteps, blocking me once again. My face heats, and my body begins to shake with pent-up energy.

Osiris puts his hands up as I advance again.
