ADELINE’s POV.

For the umpteenth time, I angrily bang my hand against the wall that has refused to open for the past two days. I have been trying to get the wards off but it is not coming off. I didn’t know Cahir was this strong, I shouldn’t have underestimated that broad of a general. Even when he is not around, he is not making my life any easier.

It’s been a long time since I saw him and it’s been a week since I last spoke to Bastian after our little fight. We haven’t said a word to each other even when we are in the same space. I see him stealing glances at me at times but he doesn’t make any effort to come up to me and I have made peace with that because a few days ago, Caroline herself told me about her and Bastian fucking themselves and I believed her. Everyone is talking about it but Bastian didn’t even try to say anything about it. I thought he hated her but after a fight with me, he goes ahead to fuck her…pathetic.

“You need to calm down,” I tell myself before backing away f

    CAHiR’s POV.For three weeks I didn’t see her and when I got news on her, the king wanted to kill her. Who gave him the right to think he could hurt her? Who gave him the right to think he can do anything to her? She is mine and mine alone. I won’t let anyone hurt her, no matter who or what he is.That’s why I left the battlefield and allowed the army of silvercrest to cater for themselves. The king made me promise to fight for them and in my absence he wants to kill my wife? How pathetic.As soon as those words leave my mouth, all eyes turn to me, surprised and confused. This is not the way I actually wanted to show everyone that she is my wife but this is the only way I can save her. I know the king might hang onto something, the fact that she could be the one he is looking for but when we get to that bridge, we will cross it.After climbing off ivar, I make my way towards the crowd and to Adeline. How dare they hold her in this way?“Let go” I tell the two guards holding her down,

    BASTIAN’s POV.Fuck!!Fuck!!Fuck!!I messed up and I messed up big time. I should have told her, I shouldn’t have hidden it this way. I should have told her but I didn’t know how. I didn’t want her to find out this way and now I don’t even know how to face her. For two days, we haven’t spoken to each other. She hasn’t come out of the fort for two days and Cahir won’t let me see her. I will fucking break his bones if I see him. He is purposely keeping her from me, wanting me to go crazy.And truth be told, I am about to go crazy, not being able to speak to her. Two days ago, she looked me in the eyes like I am the worst person on earth. She looked so hurt and I didn’t know what to do. I promised I wasn’t going to lie to her again and now I did, I lied to her and I don’t think she would ever forgive me again. How would I be able to win her love if I kept lying to her and keeping things from her? I know everything about her and she knows nothing about me. I didn’t lie to her on purpose,

    ADELINE’s POV.He was the son of the king, I was married to the son of the king and somehow I made enemies with the king. For the past two days, I have been living in my head and I was glad Cahir didn’t force me to do anything. He left me to myself and occasionally came to check in on me but what burst the most is the fact that I thought I knew Bastian but I knew nothing about him. He had lied to me several times in the past but this one supersedes them all. The fact that he looked me in the eyes and allowed me to talk about his identity. I always knew him as that naïve boy who was always in his mother’s market stall so how did we get to this? How did he turn out to become the prince overnight? The more I thought about it, the more it didn't make sense to me.My thoughts are interrupted when my door creaks open and Cahir saunters in, a tray of food in hand.Here is this man, he has never told me anything but I still don’t feel upset with him. Why? Is it because I have feelings for him

    CAHIR’s POV.I don’t bother looking back even as she continues to call back to me. Where in the gods name did she hear that bizarre story? I killed her father? And she even believed, she actually believed that I had a hand in his death? What the hellAnger is evident on my face as I enter the large hall where all the cadets are gathered. As soon as they see me, a hush falls on the room. Ever since they found out I am the prince, all of them are trying to behave extra careful around me. This is clearly not what I want but the king had to come and ruin everything. He had to show his powers and make me save Adeline.“We will start immediately” I announce.“Yes general” they all chorus before getting into positions. Most of them can already manifest their powers but Adeline is just stuck. I don’t know if it’s because her gate of energy is locked or it’s the fact that she doesn’t want to do it. If her gate of energy is opened and she comes in contact with her dragon, she will become the ch

    ADELE’s POV.“Today, you all will be visiting the den of dragons” xerxer’s voice resonates in the entire hall, “and if you are lucky, they could be friendly but if you are not, you could get scotched and wish you didn’t”A little laugh erupts from the crowd but my whole attention is on the man who is standing beside Xerxes and his conversation with me the other day. Since he came back, we haven’t talked or said anything to each other. Either he is out on the field training or he is having a meeting with the other supervisors. I have also stopped staying in the fort entirely and I told my friends to stop seeing me as his wife. I hope that will make me feel better but looking at him now, part of me wants to talk to him.“He killed your father” I say to myself, I should be hating him not wanting to talk to him.“How sure are you that he was responsible for your father’s death?” Another question rises in my head.Bastian told me and even if he has lied to me several times, I know he won’

    BASTIAN’s POV.“Are you sure this is a good idea?” My coatyl asks as he flies towards Drakesworth but I am done, I am done trying to play fair and nice. I am done seeing Cahir and Adeline together. She is mine and I will rather die than see her with someone else. She belongs to me, together we would make a good couple and that’s what I am going to work on together. Making her mine and building a family with her and if it means going to the king, I will do it a hundred times.“At this point, I don't really care Ashfall”Without saying anything again, he dives into the huge courtyard. All the people around scamper off for safety but when they see it’s me, they relax. Only a few people know I bonded a coatyl but none of them would dare say anything to me.“Prince” the guards at the door bow lightly.I don’t bother answering any of them as I make my way into the huge palace. This is the second time I am stepping foot into the palace. The first was when my mother died and I had come to mee

    CAHIR’s POV.“He didn’t touch me!” She yells in my face, “he just kissed me briefly and I pushed him off”“And you are only telling me now?” Anger washes over me, the thought of Bastian’s lips on her almost makes me puke. How dare he touch her?“Maybe if you paid more attention to me, you would have known” she looks so hurt saying that, tears glistening her eyes.The urge to kill Bastian envelopes me that I have to leave her side for a few minutes to feel better. I might not be good at expressing myself but him touching her is the deal breaker for me. She is mine; my wife.That’s why when we went back to the barracks, I immediately went to look for him and luckily I found him amongst his friends.“We need to talk” I tell him and he obliges after a few seconds of silence. If he knows how much willpower I am using to hold myself back, I swear he will immediately stand up and come with me.Finally he does and we both make our way towards my personal training room. He is the second person

    ADELELINE’s POV.The two of them continue to stare down at me, surprise and confusion on both their faces. I don’t think I have ever seen the two of them agree to something like they do now.This is the main reason why I decided not to tell anyone of them because from the look on their faces now, I no Cahir will want to pluck the Powers right out of me.“The king is going to kill you if he disks out” the general says after a while.“What?”“Yes” he yells, “and I am not going to let that happen”“But I like it” I blurt out much to his amazement, “I love the feeling of having heartfyre’s powers surge through my veins and I am not going to give it back”Cahir grips my shoulders, yanking me closer to himself.“You need to get your acts together, Adeline”Before I can say anything, Bastian shoves him off, grabbing a hold of my hand immediately.“She is hurt” he says, “let her get some rest before you bombard her with questions”Before any of us can say anything, he pulls me out of the room

    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

    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
