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

  • Bonded to the ruthless General   CHAPTER NINE

    ADELE’s POV.All of us are gathered in the main hall, Lance and another blonde boy are both on the sparring mat. Cheers and applause rise from the crowd at intervals. Lance is a strong contender, not a single stain of blood on him but the blonde looks like he bathes in blood. The only rule is not to kill, you are free to do anything else.“Man, that one is strong,” Zara says beside me, her lips into a smirk.“Who is your opponent?” I ask her.“Her” she points to Caroline who is looking my way and I swear I can see hate and anger inside her eyes. Why exactly does she hate me? It’s not like we have any kind of history together.“Seems like she wants to beat me more than you” I whisper to Zara, “she has been glaring at me for a while now”“I will break all of her fucking bones if she dares to act coy with me” Zara threatens and I stifle a smile.I look up and I see Bastian staring at me from where he is seated with some boys. He made friends fast, I give him that. He is saying something

    ADELE’s POV.Loosening the lace of my boots, I move them under the bed before falling limply on the bed. The training session yesterday was much more intense than last time. I was paired with a girl who came last year and she beat the shit out of me, snapping my shoulder blade off in the process. Bastian and Zara rushed me to the infirmary where I would say I was stitched together but it still hurts. Xerxes gave me a four day holiday from all activities and I can’t help but be thankful to him.The whole place is chilly and quiet, the others are in class learning about the history of the borders and why the barracks was shifted out of Drakesworth. Luckily I know all that already so I wouldn’t miss much.My mind drifts back to the general and I let out a sigh. It’s been two whole weeks and I haven’t seen him since then. Then why did he marry me? Why did he go through this trouble if he knew he wouldn’t commit? What was the need of getting married to me? It’s not like I have anything t

    As soon as he walks into the room, I immediately jump off the bed. I didn’t know he would come, no one made mention of it. It's been quite some days since that wedding shenanigans and I have a lot to ask him. I need to know why he chose me when he can readily choose anyone else. My eyes travel over him and I gulp. I can’t lie, he looks scary, very scary and from the way he looks, it seems like he has been on the battlefield for a while. His hair is pulled into a messy bun and his mouth is pressed into a thin line. He has a new scar running through his left eye up to his brows but that doesn’t reduce his beauty, rather he looks more beautiful and more ruthless. I shake my head to remove such thoughts. I shouldn’t be thinking about him in that way, he almost killed me the day I stepped into the barracks. Swallowing hard, I keep looking at him waiting for him to say something. We both clearly hate each other and I am not going to give him that satisfaction to think he has any effect

    CAHIR’s POV. The very moment she stepped into the barracks, I knew she was the one. The daughter of the treacherous MacAlister who almost put the whole country into turmoil and danger, she had guts, she didn’t have a filter over her mouth and mumbled whatever she wanted and that red hair of hers would make her prone to the enemy's attack. But then despite the instant hate I developed for her the moment I saw her, I had to marry her, she had to become my wed bride and I am still very much upset about it. I didn’t spend years and years of my life cultivating immense power to get wed to someone who can’t even use a sword. The more I think about it, the more upset I become. I remember that night when ivar, my dragon, spoke to me about her and I almost went berserk. “You must be joking” I tell him, “and you know it” “Well, we both know you have to do it” he snickers, “take her as your bride and build her through the journey. General, you clearly do not have a choice now, do you?”

    ADELE’s POV. After he leaves, I just can’t get the thought of the kiss out of my head. He hates me, I didn’t expect him to kiss me and even smirk about it. That man is more sly than I actually thought, he actually kissed and looked like he enjoyed it. “Pathetic” I mutter under my breath, His reputation is just bad overall. I look out of the window hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever Is happening outside but nothing. It feels like he purposely chose this room for me so I won’t be able to see anything. The door creaks open and a man saunters in followed by one of the soldiers. “He is here to check on your wounds” she says before making her way out. I think I remember this man, he looks vaguely familiar but I can’t fathom where I have seen him. Could be back in Drakesworth. “Macalister” he calls out and the frown on my face intensifies, how did he know?” “How do you know my name?” I manage to ask him, walking back to the amazingly soft bed, “I have a feeling that I have se

    ADELE’s POV. Cahir doesn’t even let me say anything and pulls me away from the battlefield. Bastian tries to stop him but he on the other hand is wounded so there is only little he can do before Cahir drags me off. He didn’t stop until we get to the front of his fort and that’s where I manage to snap my hand out of his. “What do you think you are doing?” I ask him. “Who told you that you could come out of the fort?” “Its none of your business, general” I snap and he clenches his jaw together. “You can’t just tell me to do something and I will do it, I am not your slave” “As long as you are married to me, you will do as I have said” hr half yells, “do you understand that” “And on what basis are you calling me your wife?” A slight pain from my shoulder makes me wince in frustration. “You can not call me your wife when we do not have any relationship, general. You never gave me a reason why you got married to me in the first place. I did not come here for you, I came h

    ADELE. It has been one hell of a hectic day but luckily the Chimeras and their hosts were destroyed and just a few of our people were injured. Most of them were taken to the infirmary while the rest were asked to retire back to their hostel for some rest. Everything else for today has been cancelled but that doesn't mean I can’t ask questions. That’s why after leaving Bastain at the infirmary, I make my way towards the tent the general has confronted me with before. I saw him going there with his sister and some of the supervisors. Despite the intensity of the fight, none of them looked hurt. How I wish I am able to wield such powers as them but yet again, my shoulders still hurt. Just as I get close to the tent, I stop myself just before I can go further. “You can not go in” one of them tells me, “the general gave strict orders” “I need to see him” “And on what basis do you think you can see him?” He inquires again, loath evident from his voice. “Come in” I hear someone

  • Bonded to the ruthless General   CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE

    ADELE’s POV.I have trusted Bastian all my life but letting him bring me into this forest was definitely a bad idea but then, anything to keep me away from Cahir. I didn’t want to be in the same space with him, I didn’t want to breathe the same air with him. Anything to keep me away from him and at this point, I genuinely don’t care that Bastian lied to me about being the prince. He could do anything he wanted and I was enjoying that at the moment..well, i could be a hypocrite one more time. Being in the same room with Cahir a while back almost messed with me and I wanted to jump into his embrace, shame be damned but I didn’t. How could I forget the things he said to me? He made me feel like I didn’t even deserve to be in the same space as him. Yes, I loved him but I was done letting that love consume me. Now I am going to focus on finding my father’s murderer and also heartfyre. I have been able to control my powers now and the king has not said anything. I am still safe and that’s

  • Bonded to the ruthless General   CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

    BASTIAN’s POV.Adeline stiffens the moment the king asked her that question. She clenches her and unclenches her jaw and believe me, I know what’s going on in her mind. Talking about the man who broke your heart can be shitty stuff and it makes me get more upset with the king. Can’t he just drop it? Why the hell must I always do this?“You…“He forced me” Adele cuts me off and a look of surprise flashes through my face.“What?” King Tarus leans forward, all eyes on her.“He forced me into that marriage with him and he never told me the reason. I have asked a million times but he wouldn’t tell me. My lord” she immediately falls on her knees, “I am tired of being married to him, please grant me a divorce”For the second time today, my jaw drops. She didn’t even discuss this with me and now she…I should be happy she wants to end this marriage but she is Adele, she always has something up her sleeves.“So you want a divorce?”“Yes, your majesty” she responds, “it was stupidity on my side

  • Bonded to the ruthless General   CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE

    ADELE’s POV.As soon as I step out of the carriage, I breathe in a lung full of fresh air. The last time I was here was when I had a talk with my mother and she told me everything that happened. I couldn’t believe I actually forgot that memory then and remembered it after I got heartfyre’s powers. But I didn’t come here as my mother's daughter today but as a cadet who is to guide the queen until the king returns. They have a lot of guards in the palace, I still don’t understand the need to have cadets as her guards but well, I am going to do a good job while trying to forget the man who hurt me a while ago.After taking a shower, I change into one of my nightgowns and the only thing I want to do now is jump into bed and take some sleep. The rain outside is a good accompaniment for a great night, anything to take my mind off Cahir.Before I can climb onto my bed, a knock resonates on my door.“Yes?”“Sleeping?” Bastian’s deep baritone voice filters through.“Come on in”He opens the do

    ADELE’s POV.“No!!!” I yell in anger, with tears still streaming down my eyes. He hurt me, he hurt me so much and I will never be able to recover from it. It feels suffocating to even have life inside of me, I want to die and shed all of this embarrassment away. In front of Desdemona, in front of Bastian. Chair humiliated me and at this point I wished I died instead of my father. I hope he never finds happiness, I am not one to wish him well after a fallout. He is a jerk and I pray to the gods that the universe never gives him any kind of peace.When he walked into my room earlier, believe me when I said I wanted to jump into his arms and forget about everything that happened earlier, I would have tagged it as a bad memory but as soon as he said those words to me, I hated him. I hate him more than I have ever hated anyone in this life and I hope he never forgets that.“Adele!” A familiar voice calls behind me and I turn my head to see Zara and the others. Luckily I am the only one in

    CAHIR’s POV.With each word that comes out of my mouth, the bitter taste lingers. I confessed my love to her a few days ago and now in front of Bastian, I said the most derogatory words to her. She was hurt, she was devastated and believe me when I said I wanted to pull her into my embrace and tell her it is all a lie but I couldn’t. I have to save her, I wouldn’t be able to save her if I keep her by my side and right now the palace is the most safe space for her. Desdemona assured me that no harm will come to her and I want her as far away from heartfyre as possible. That dragon is sure to be the death of her and I am going to try and avert that no matter what. I would rather she hates me alive than love me dead.“You really pulled that tough boy attitude up” Desdemona says as she pulls away from me, “remind me not to hug you like that again. She almost had my head on a platter.“She is possessive” I tell her, “you should watch your back” I further add in a joking manner but the Adel

    BASTIAN’s POV.With a little groan, I pull my cock out of Caroline’s pussy and fall on the bed beside her, a little giggle leaves her mouth as she turns her head to me.“What?”my voice is laced with irritation. Ever since that day she found out about my biggest secret. We have become a team sort of, an ally to each other. She wouldn’t tell on me, I know that and I was due for a release anyways. Adeline hasn’t been speaking to me for some days now, so I gave her space. One which we both needed, a lot was going on already and I didn’t want to stress her out the more.“You fuck really good” she replies, her finger trailing the outline of the coatyl tattoo on my arm, “another round?”“We have classes” I tell her and she groans.“You and I know that no one will say anything to you even if you don’t show up for classes, Bastian”“Too bad, I want to show up”With that, I pull my body off the bed and make my way towards the closet. Ever since everyone found out I was the prince, they have bee

    CAHIR’s POV.I pull her closer and she straddles me, my hand cupping the small of her back. I love how small she looks in my arms, the urge to protect her intensifies as I deepen the kiss. I care about her, more than I ever did Desdemona and that’s the biggest truth of my life. She wound her way into my life and now it’s hard to even try to ignore her.Adeline presses her body against mine, her taut nipples pushing against my chest. A groan leaves my throat at the thought of how wet she already is. I love how her body reacts to mine, how she doesn’t shy away from the fact that she wants me each fucking day. The thought of it makes me giddy with excitement as I pry her mouth open and slide my tongue inside.My right hand finds the hem of my shirt which she is wearing and I slide my hand inside, cupping one of her peaks in the process..perfect. She is perfect, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Everything about her, her hair, , her skin and everything. It’s like she is a god, co

    ADELINE’s POV.My eyelids part lightly and a light yawn follows before I pull my body to a sitting position. Cahir is not not on the bed but from the smoke outside, I am certain he is there. Looking around, I saw some water in a jar so I washed my face before grabbing his shirt from the wooden cabinet.The thoughts of last night winds its way into my head and a small smile creeps up on my face. Last night we had talked, heartfelt conversation and he told me he liked me, he told me he would do anything for me and didn’t even reprimand me much on why I helped heartfyre. I actually didn’t know that would happen but the power coursing through my veins at that time was too much and it happened. But I loved it, I loved how we talked and just bonded. He wasn’t the jerk of a general he always was and I saw him smile too. He looked good. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and relive that memory again.As soon as I step out of the house into the open space, my heart skips a beat seeing

    BASTIAN’s POV.“Are you okay?” Caroline asks me as she helps me dress my wounds but that’s the least of my problems right now. I want to know where she is, where Cahir took her too. How could he leave everyone alone and take her with him, what if he hurts her? The more I think about it, the more upset I become. People like him are not to be trusted and I have seen that first hand. He is like his father, sly and evil.“Bastian” her voice jolts me out of my thoughts and I let out a heavy sigh.“What, Caroline?”“I asked if you were okay”“I am fine, you do not have to worry about me” anger envelopes me, how long is she going to act like we are some kind of item? I don’t want her, I only have eyes for a certain someone and I am going to keep it that way.“You don’t look so good, I will tell the physician to make something for you”“Stop acting like my lover” I grit in anger and all eyes turn to me, her cheeks immediately flush, she looks embarrassed.“What?”“I do not need you to care fo
