Bonded to the ruthless General CHAPTER ONE
ADELE’s POV.“You can not do this!!” My mother yells as she drags my backpack which makes me halt, the floor screeching underneath me.I turn around to look at her and tears well up in her eyes.“This is my calling, mum” I tell her, “the boarders need more people to guard it”“You are a woman and you have no business with the borders, Adele” Mother says and my shoulders sag. This is the same thing she has been saying since father died eight years ago and she hasn’t made my life any easier.Being born in Drakeworth sure came with its perks as I can wield small magics and also be very good with my daggers but that’s all. Mum never allowed me out of the walls where I can get the opportunity to learn other things. I am probably the last on the list of the failures of Drakeworth and now that I have decided to take my life in my hands, she still wants to stop me. “I am twenty and five years old and you have never allowed me outside the walls of Drakeworth, what exactly are you so scared of

ADELE’s POV.We walk and walk for what seems like age. My legs are already getting tired but we can’t stop now, not when we can already see one of the towers erected at the border. The journey to the border is easier than I thought. We saw a couple of dragons and none of them made an attempt to attack which is contrary to the story of my father. This gives me more morale to actually find out what happened to him. “Oh, Odin” Agatha finally stops, her breath sagging.“This is more tortuous than I imagined” she says, “maybe I should turn around and go back to Drakesworth”“Well, you kept running your mouth about the fact that you would make a good soldier” Lance chips in, “maybe i shouldn’t have indulged you”“Guys we really don’t have time” I tell them, “we have to reach our destination before nightfall or we will become food for the beat ts of the night devour us”“Well, aren’t you a bit enthusiastic about this?” It is Carolina. Right from the gates of Drakesworth, I knew we won’t be

ADELE’s POV.This man has to be fucking kidding me, how did he expect me to win him in a dagger fight? I can barely even hold his gaze and he wants me to spar with him?“You have got to be kidding me” I mutter under my breath.“I will have a match with you,” Bastain announces, stepping in front of me.“I saw you before I chose her, Bastian” the general retorts, “are you scared that she may have all of you going back home” he tilts his head and his gaze meets mine. I hate that arrogance on his face“Step back” I whisper to Bastian. The rate at which he is going, the general might send all of us back before we even get a chance to prove ourselves or in the worst case scenario, he might kill all of us and dump the body where we will never be found.“But…“I can handle it” I tell him, “I promise”He lets out a sigh and steps back, his gaze darkening. He looks like he is about to reap the general into a million pieces.“Fine” I say out loud, “I will spar with you”“I like the ones who jum

ADELE’s POV.The sun creeps into the dungeon signifying the break of dawn. After a little squabble between me and Carolina last night and Bastain coming to my aid every single time, I didn’t get a wink of sleep. It wasn't necessary because of her but the thought of the general was in my head and I didn’t know why. I kept thinking about him, about everything surrounding him, about everything I have heard of him and about his entire personality. He is unlike what I envisioned, even better but to me, he is rotten. The dead bodies littered on the ground when we entered his tent and the way he slashed that man’s neck like he didn’t mean anything.“You didn’t get any sleep?” Agatha asks from the other side of the dungeon.“You are awake?”“Yes” she nods, “I have been awake for the whole night, I couldn’t sleep too”“Something bothering you?”Bastain also steers in his sleep and opens his eyes.“What are the two of you discussing so early?” He asks, pulling his body to a sitting position.I

ADELE’s POV.The loud bang of the bell makes me yawn lightly before pulling my body to a sitting position. After choosing a group yesterday, we were assigned to our rooms which consist of five other ladies. Three of them came here two years ago while the rest of us are just getting in. I don’t even know how Bastian and the others are faring because I haven’t seen or heard from them since.My attention shifts to the door that has just opened and two soldiers file into the room, coming towards my bed. For the love of Odin, what have I done now?“Cadet MacAlister” one of them call my name, “come with us”I can’t help but be more confused than I already am.“Why, sir?”“You do not have the right to ask questions, come with us”Letting out a heavy sigh, I pull my body out of bed. Luckily I am still in my leather pants and shirt. I just grab my shoes from underneath the bed before slipping into them.“At least let me wash my face”None of them say anything and I hastily grab a pail of water

ADELE’s POV.Even after reporting for the morning assembly, I still can’t shake what happened earlier out of my head. I am married, I got married to General Cahir and I can’t even say anything about it. I am still clearly shaken and it feels like I am going to collapse with each step I take towards the courtyard.This is too overwhelming for me, I don't even know how to go about it. I just stand in a daze as the soldiers tell us our assignments for today.“Hey you” a voice says beside me and I raise my head to see Bastian. Gods, how I want to hug him and tell him everything but how can I do that? Cahir threatened me with the lives of everything and everyone I love.“Hey” I flash him a weak smile.“I have been looking for you all morning, are you okay?”“No” I scream in my head but instead I nod, “yes. I went to bed pretty late last night so that’s why I look a bit dull”“Hey you!!” One of the soldiers call out to us, “keep shut or I make you”Luckily Bastain agrees, he doesn’t say anyt

ADELE’s POV.I wave Zara and the others goodbye before making my way towards the lady. As soon as I get to her, she starts walking towards the other side of the courtyard away from the others, not bothering to say anything to me. Everyone who sees her bows to her lightly. It can only mean one thing is a high ranking officer.I use this opportunity to study her and she looks really formidable. Tall and slim with her brown hair tied neatly. She has several daggers strapped to her body with two swords in her scabbard trapped to her back. I can’t help but wonder who she is, I haven’t seen her since we got here and it's been three days.We didn’t stop until we get to a secluded part of the barracks. There is no one around, no one in sight and she looks scary. What are the odds that she would kill me? Well, it’s not my fault that I always think like that when I am near people like hr.“MacAlister?” She calls my name and I nod, “I never expected it to be you” she further adds and a look of c

ADELE’s POV.Training for the day is done and almost everyone has retired to their dorms. If you ask me the name of the gods that gave me the audacity to sneak out of my room to where Bastian said I should meet him, I would not be able to tell you but here I am sneaking past soldiers towards the big three at the back of the armory. Where the heck did I get the courage from and how did he even know of this place?I flatten my body against the wall when I see a group of soldiers patrolling. I swear I will give Bastian a tight slap if I am caught.Luckily they pass by me in the silent night and I continue to get to the tree but there is no one there.Did he not come after he made me risk my life to be here? What a jerk.“Hey” a voice calls out behind me and I turn around to see him walking towards me, bare to the waist. I swallow hard at the figure in front of me, he looks good, too good if you ask me.Bastian has always been a handsome man but seeing his well sculpted body that has been

ADELE’s POV.We stay like that for a while, my head on his shoulder as the chirping of birds continues around us. I don’t even know how I got to this part of the forest but it looks so calm, I could stay here forever and not get tired of it. But something immediately clicks in my head and I immediately pull away from him. A look of surprise appears on Bastian’s face.“Stay away from him” Cahir’s voice rings in my ear as he slammed into me with reckless abandon. He made it clear that he didn’t want me hanging around with Bastian and even fucked me to tears so I wouldn’t forget that.My face flush, how did we get here? How did..“Are you okay?” His voice cuts through me again, concern written on his face, “tell me, did something happen to you?”I abruptly stand up, dusting the back of my pants.“I am fine,” I manage to tell him, “but we should probably go now. It’s getting late”“Why? We can stay here as long as we want, no one will say anything. Rest assured”“Well” I fold my hands ac

ADELE’s POV.I didn’t expect Bastian to take it lightly but I didn’t expect him to look me in the eyes and say such horrible things to me. He said things that he would never say and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t shake those words out of my head. He was mean to me, he said horrible things to me and I will make him remember that for as long as he is alive.“Cadet” a voice calls behind me and I raise my head to see one of the palace soldiers.“Yes”“The Queen will be ready to leave in a few minutes, you should get ready to escort her.“Okay, I am already ready though”“You should get her chariot out”“Sure”After getting the chariot out, I wait by it and after a while, I see her coming towards me with Bastian beside her. They are both saying something and laughing about it. My heart cramps but I shake it off, it is actually none of my business.“Your majesty” I bow to her but she ignores me and turns to Bastian.“Please, ride with me”“Of course not, your majesty” he says, “I wi

BASTIAN’s POVFuck!!!I have never been so angry in my life; I have never felt like killing someone like I feel now. I want to kill Cahir, I want to cut his body into tiny tiny pieces and scatter them all over the country. He touched her, he was in her room , she was naked and he fucked her.My blood is boiling, my whole body is shaking. I have never felt so helpless like I feel now. And she even allowed him, she let him touch her. I thought she said they were over? So what is he doing in her room? Did she lie to me, did she plan all this with him?I rake my hands through my hair, she can’t lie to me. Adeline is far too naïve to do that, he must have forced her and that’s why he was in her room. She must have begged him, she must have tried to tell him not to touch her but that bastard, I am sure he didn’t listen and he took advantage of her. I am going to make him pay in such a way that he will beg but I will be the one laughing last.I dip my whole body into the water again, lettin

ADELE POV.Someone frantically knocks on my door and I push my body off the bed but before I can even get to the door, it pushes open and my husband’s angry face comes into view. He looks so upset, so fucking upset.“Cahir, you…..The words hang in my throat as he yanks me closer and slam his lips on mine. Anger, desire, pain, lust and everything in between. He pushes me back against the wall and deepens the kiss making it almost impossible for me to breathe. Part of me like it, the part that want to have my hand wrapped around his torso while he fucked me into oblivion but the other part, the logical one wants to push him away and make him understand that he can not just walk into my room and kiss me like he owns me. Technically he does since we are still married but that aside, he can’t just.With my last ounce of logic, I gently push him off and a frustrated groan leaves his mouth as he pulls away from me. He is still close, so close that his natural scent is making a mess of me a

CAHIR’s POV.“Good, I want all of them in before next weekend” my voice resonates round the room as all eyes remain on me. Two days after I returned from Drakeworth, it has been boring. I haven’t seen her in two days and I genuinely do not know what’s going on. If I had known that Bastian would pack his belongings and go with her, I would have thought of something else to do with her.With hearfyre still out there, the urge to protect her continues to grow. I trust that she won’t be able to get her back in Drakesworth because it has been an age long tradition that drains are not allowed in the country unless with their bonded humans and that’s why I can always take Ivar with me anytime I visit.“Is that all?” Xerxes asks, cutting off my train of thought.“Didn’t you get it?”“Sorry?”“Don’t be stupid, Xerxes” the words are out of my mouth before I can even stop myself. I am being a bastard now but I genuinely have no intention of stopping. My wife is in Drakesworth with my brother wh

BASTIAN’s POV.I watched her leave, her shoulders hanging low. I knew Adele ever since she was a child. One thing is that she would never want to bug anyone with her problems no matter how large it is. She is having issues with her family but no one knows. Her sister and her mother both treat her badly but after knowing her, she opened up to me.I can say that I know her the most in this world, I know her more than everyone and it gives me a kind of joy to know her and be able to help her. That’s why the moment I watch her walk out of the palace gates, I turn around and walk back into the house. I need to have a serious conversation with Desdemona, I do not care if she is the queen but I do not play about Adele. Yes, I killed her father but she doesn’t know about that and she doesn’t need to know. He found out what he was not supposed to and that led to his death. Once again, people should mind their fucking businesses.Shoving the thoughts of him to the back of my head, I quicken my

ADELINE’s POV.I have known Gwen for a while because she is related to mother. What I didn’t know was the fact that she was Cahir’s nanny and even Bastian knew her. Now I am standing in front of them wondering the other things I do not know. It’s official, I am the most kept in the dark person in Drakesworth.They look close, Cahir is smiling genuinely at her and even Bastian too. They look really close.“I didn’t know you worked for him, aunt”“The palace kept it a secret, my dear” she says, “even your mother found out recently when she told me that you had gone to the borders to become a soldier. Then I told Cahir to take care of you. I think the gods are on my side because the two of you got marriage”“It was a sham marriage, Gwen” the words are out of my mouth before I can even stop it, “we are asking the king for a divorce”“What?” Her head whips towards him, “a divorce? Why?”“We are not getting a divorce, Gwen” Cahir says as a matter of fact, “you can try all you want. Gwen, I

CAHIR’s POVWith each step I take away from her, the urge to turn back and pull her into my arms and tell her how much I love her and how much I want to be with her. When I saw her earlier with Bastain, I was so upset that I had to come here to find her and when I saw her looking so beautiful inside that water, I wanted to keep looking at her forever but I didn’t want her to know she is my weak point , I want to be able to protect her without raising suspicion from anyone including the king and Bastain. The only person who knows about my plan is Desdemona and I will kill her if she ever thinks of betraying me.After leaving them, I make my way back to the palace, just in time to see the king before he leaves. Because of Adele, I have been frequenting the palace lately. Even though I don’t like it, I have to do it for her and nothing else.Today, I used my powers to trap Bastian in an endless loop of looking for her, I don’t know what I will do next when it comes to her.

ADELE’s POV.I stiffen in his embrace the moment his lips crashed against mine. It is hungry, vicious, ferocious and everything in between. He fists my hair in his hands and deepens the kiss, prying my mouth open in the process. This man before me looks so different from the Cahir that I knew, he looks like he is about to bring the world to its knees.But we shouldn’t be doing this, he is the same person who pushed me away, he has no right coming here and kissing me like he owns me and moreover I owe Bastian every iota of respect, he has helped me by bringing me me to his and his mother’s favorite place so how can I disrespect it like this?With my last ounce of power, I push him off and my hand lands on his face in a slap. How dare he? How dare he come here and act like everything is fine when he was the same person who pushed me away because he was sleeping with his step mother. The mere thought of it makes me so upset that the urge to drown him in this water encapsulates me.“How d
