Chained (A Choice of Light and Dark, #1)

by Lacey Lehotzky

I’d rather risk my neck riding alone than sit before a male with questionable intent.

I'm trying to be patient - considering she's been held captive and tortured her whole fucking life - but at some point this needs to end. 😒😒

“Your hair is the same chestnut color as hers,

Woot ＼(^o^)／ woot - gotta love a non blond FMC!

“The other realms are Day and Crystal. They are the opposite of the Night and Iron Realms because the Goddess requires balance in this world.

Calling it now she has all four elemental magic… 🤔🤔

A spear of crystal wrapped in ribbons of glittering silver and bathed in white flame rested in the center of my chest.

Definitely more than one….

“Okay.” I shrugged, not believing him.

100% getting frustrating at this point… How long has it been? Definitely at least a week. This narrative is tiring.

Seven weeks was not nearly long enough to prepare me for the duty of being a princess and the expectations others would have for me.

Siiigh… come on! Please be smarter than this….

I wanted to be her everything.

This escalated quickly….

I brushed it onto her back. This time, she didn’t jump at my touch, but turned to me,

I swear to fucking god if all this trust is built just to be destroyed over something trivial …..

My daydreams drifted to his death –

LMFAOOOOOO!!! This seems excessive hahahaha

Perhaps my father would give that to me, imbuing me with everything I missed out on during my childhood. I imagined his face lighting up the moment he saw me,

Well, if this ain’t foreshadowing, I don’t know what is!!! he’s clearly gonna be a dick when he meets her

The choice was easy; I would always fight for myself. It would take time, but I would see it done. What happened to me did not define me,

Whew! Finally! I was trying to be patient because… well… trauma.. but fuuuck I feel like that took forever

“Happiness is right in front of you, Izidora.”

I need a time frame… lolol this I feel like is balling very quickly hahahahahah

Izidora’s wings remained hidden for now,

Hmmmmm does she have them??

“Don’t get any funny ideas while you’re that close to the crown jewels, Princess,”

Lmfaoooooo

I thought we were all going to die!” “But did you die?” Kriztof sauntered up along with the rest of the Nighthounds.

Hahahahahhahahahaha!

“She has become insolent in your care. You were supposed to keep her pliant, not make her rebellious.”

Ohhhhhh ok… so she hadn’t been chained her whole life….

His touches were tender, and though I did not want them at first, he’d slipped past my walls somewhere along the way, and those touches knit the shattered pieces of my soul together.

Ok this is sweet☺️☺️

His lips brushed softly over mine. “You have no idea the lengths I would go to for you. I am not like the others. Once I have you, there will be no letting go. So choose carefully, Izidora.”

Ugh!!!!! This is off. I’m Not feeling the connection!

And flying is too damn risky. What happens when your magic is tapped out, and they’re waiting on horseback below?”

Ah ok… flying uses magic… got it!

Her chin rested on the side of the tub, a shameless smile weakening my knees as the air seemed to crackle between us. Goddess help me, Fates damn me, I wanted her so fucking bad, and she had no clue the beast she was awakening beneath the surface of my skin.

UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!

lasciviously appreciating

Everything is “lascivious” with these two lol

“Do you want to be touched here?”

Ok I love this!!

He took some of that with him when he sat back on his heels,

So glad she didn’t say “haunches” here — so not sexy😑😑

“What a good girl, so wet for me already,” he crooned,

🥴🥴💦💦💦🥴🥴🫠🫠

The males had flown around countless times on our ride and each time they leaped into the air, I yearned to join them and soar among the stars.

Missed opportunity here…. None of this was EVER mentioned before.
