Every plan Loren constructed for his life crashed around him the moment he had found his future wife in the arms of another man. Had that man been a Caersan of worth, he may not have cared, considering he would have won the duel against most men. Even if it had been Nikolai Jensen, who swore a blood oath to keep his distance from her, Loren would not have been angry.

But Azriel fucking Tenebra? That pitiful excuse of a guard who spent his nights leering at her did not deserve to live after what he had done. If it were not for the Will of a deceased Lord who had been cognitively declining for decades, Loren would have seen the filthy bastard strung up by his testicles.

As it were, the Princeps accepted the dirty fae’s ill-earned victory and the words of a dead man.

Perhaps Markus Harlow was not one to be trusted.

Loren exited the Harlow Manor the moment the Council convened in the study. He pushed past the dumbfounded lords and motioned for Nikolai to join him. The Captain, loyal as always, loitered in the foyer, awaiting the next command.

“What happened?” Nikolai followed him out the front doors as Loren called for their horses to be brought forth.

“My wedding is canceled.” Loren tugged on his leather riding gloves and adjusted his cloak. “Ariadne’s is not.”

Nikolai frowned, blanching at the informal use of her first name. “How is that possible?”

The General chuckled darkly as the stable hand hurried over. He snatched the reins unceremoniously and swung up onto his stallion’s back. Beside him, the Captain did the same.

“She is now betrothed to Lord Governor Caldwell.” He spat the name like something foul on his tongue, then yanked the reins to start down the drive. “There is a bastard half-fae now sitting on the High Council.”

“Ludicrous!” Nikolai shook his head. “Have they all gone mad?”

“They may very well be.” Loren ground his teeth, beating back the inferno building in his chest. The embarrassment of losing his fiancée and a duel to that disgrace was too much to think about for long. “He has poisoned their minds, just as he did to that bitch.”

Nikolai barked a laugh. “Fae magic, perhaps?”

“Tenebra does not have the capacity to see beyond his own cock let alone harness any significant magic.” They turned onto the Old Highway and started toward Laeton proper. “That duel should have ended the moment I disarmed him.”

“Right you are.”

“Perhaps they are well-matched,” Loren mused with a scoff. “She hardly has two thoughts to string together. Quite the empty-headed pair. It is no wonder he was able to seduce her so easily.”

Another boisterous laugh. Nikolai shook his head to clear the mirth away. “You will get your revenge—of that, I have no doubt.”

Loren let his own smirk drop. “Indeed.”

“I know that tone.” Nikolai raised a questioning brow and turned in his saddle to look at him fully. “You have a plan?”

“Knowledge, Captain.” Loren could not keep the sneer off his face. “I have been building my knowledge on this matter.
