Bellona (Part 1.5 Of The Saskia Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
She watches me carefully and I find my body frozen under her ice cold gaze. Her being here isn’t good. I don’t dare move or even speak but hold still trying to calm my erratic heartbeat. Annoyance flickers across her hard face. “Get up, don’t lie there looking so pathetic.” Her words cause my face to flame and I jump from the bed. Her lips are almost invisible with how rigid she holds them. Her eyes hold a warning. “Get dressed, sweet daughter.” There is no sweetness in her words, only hate. I get dressed quickly, dread pools in my stomach and my hands shake as I close all the buttons on my dress. I have just finished placing a shawl over my shoulders from the chill of the early morning when we leave my chambers. My mother takes me to an abandoned part of the castle and trepidation unfurls deep inside me. This isn’t good, it never is when I am alone with her. She has never physically hurt me, but her punishment always seems worse than my fathers.
