Your choice as author but disappointed that she did not panic more regarding carrying his seed. I thought maybe a small thought of specific herbs/teas to stop things or end them. Perhaps maybe a fall down the stairs. Something that might have crossed her mind on that moment. The struggle she creates seems to be less as love wins out with his offsprings.
A very enjoyable read and I'm certainly looking forward to reading more.
The only point of contention that I would bring up is the complete dismissal by Nicholas of his wife being openly attacked. When she brings it up he just wipes it aside like it doesn't matter, the same goes for the insults towards her in the previous chapter by the various Wolves. The lack of action makes him seem not to really care about her at all.
Despite a few grammar issues, this chapter has good developmental since we're moving forward with the plot. I love it that Eira is not going all stockholm syndrome. She still hates him for what he did to her father, how he killed her people, and how he mistreated her. So Nicholas has to answer to his superiors...hmmm. Now, there's more conflict and drama. Will he be able to protect Eira from his people (Tryst seems skeevy)? So far, he's been pretty stupid thinking that she would be safe there...Will the King in the South help Eira or possibly be a love interest? :P
I'm curious to see how much power Nicholas has now and what is Eira's power. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Hey girl? You disappeared again? That while you're writing a masterpiece? Please let know that the rest is coming! This stuff is great!
.... and up from three stars to five stars. Would note that nine months between chapters is more than a bit long -- seeing that chapter 3 as just been done. Could be that, as was commented in chapter 1, writing the character of Nicholas with his bloody baggage to eventually reconcile with Eira has been arkward?
However, the main character is too much for me. I like reluctance and some noncon, and though I don't enjoy it, I can handle a story with an evil rapist. What I don't like is the evil rapist becoming the romantic lead. Nicholas is horrible and I wish him a painful death and an unhappily ever after.
I don't think I'll be back for this story but I'll look forward to reading some of your other wok in the future.
