ADELE’s POV,

When I enter the training room later, I see Cahir practicing but that’s not what catches my attention. He is bare chested , beads of sweat rolling down his body while the sword moves freely in his hand like he has become one with it. My cheeks flush, gods help me. He looks so good, so good like a sin I wanted to commit at this particular moment.

He stops training when he sees me, an expressionless look hovering over his face.

“You are late”

“I was letting the others know I won’t be joining them”

“You did not need to tell anyone” he cuts me off.

“Well” I cover the space between us, “I don’t want anyone misunderstanding us, i genuinely do not want to be the center of attention around here”

He grimaces but doesn’t say anything, he sure knows how to hide his expressions, I genuinely won’t know what is going on in his mind.

“No one will question you” he sheaths his sword as he comes to stand in front of me. I can feel the heat from his body, it is something between sandalwood

    ADELINE’s POV.It’s been one whole week since Cahir left and I can’t lie, I miss him. I know we don’t get along well and he doesn’t like me but I can’t stop thinking about him. The feel of his body against mine, the way my body reacts to him, the way he makes me feel. The last time he made me orgasm time and again and I swear to the gods that I couldn't get enough of it. I wanted him inside of me but he wouldn’t do that. He was messing with me, I could see the mischievous glint in his eyes.But even after a week, I still miss him, I want to see him and feel him.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath as I allow my sword to fall to the ground. I have been training nonstop for three hours and my body is already reacting to the pain.I rake my fingers through my hair, allowing another cuss word to leave my mouth.Picking up my water container, I chug down a mouthful of it before letting out another sigh.“Finally” a familiar voice filters into my ear and I raise my head to see Bastian coming

    BASTIAN’s POV. For the umpteenth time, I let my sword fall to the ground while Lance keeps looking at me, confusion hovering over his face. We have been going for about an hour but I can’t even get my head in the game. Adeline’s words are still ringing in my head, I can still feel the taste of her words. He touched her, that bastard touched her and she didn’t seem to hate it. She called him her husband, she looked proud to say it.“What’s going on with you, Bas?” He asks me.Part of me wants to scream and yell and just grab that fucking brother of mine by his neck and sniff the life out of him. His mother did a good job in keeping the king from my mother until she passed away. He was doing a good job trying to steal the woman I have loved all my life. I loved Adeline so much that it hurts. The gods be damned, I will make him pay for daring to even look at her.“What’s going on with you, Bas?” Lance asks me again, a look of concern etched on his face,“Nothing, I am fine”With that, I

    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’

She was now someone we couldn’t afford to mess with and that’s why laughed at Desdemona when she sent that useless assassin after her. I bet everything I owned to the fact that Adele will come back unscathed and she did. Now Xena under the command of the mint has refused her entry but i know my best friend. She doesn’t back down from a fight and I admire her for that.“For someone who is about to be killed by her, you really have a happy look on your face” Caroline’s voice rings in my ear as she comes to stand behind me, “shouldn’t you do something?”“I already have all this figured out”I tell her, “now you wait and watch what happens.

    ADELE’s POV.I let out a light groan as I lower myself on the rock, pulling out my water container, I take a mouthful, letting out a huge sigh. Finally, I have gotten all the medications and it’s time to get going. It has been hell of a day and right now I genuinely want to lay down on my bed and take a nice nap.A frog jumping at the side catches my attention and somehow it reminds of Bastian and the horrible things he has done. I took him as my own family and this is what he does to me. He killed my father and pretended about it for years, making me believe the dragons did it. How could he do something like that? How could he look me in the eyes all these years whenever I told him about my father? He has no conscience, I can see it now. The fact that he pretended to be my friend for years while being my father’s killer says a lot about him and everything I have ever believed in.“You can’t continue sulking here” hearfyre’s irritated voice rings in my ears, “unless you want your husb

    BASTIAN’s POVAs soon as she disappears out of the room, I turn my gaze to the unconscious man on the bed. The urge to grab a dagger and thrust it into him envelops me but I can’t do that, not when the physicians are both here and the king is just outside the door.What the hell Cahir? Why did he have to show her? I have kept that secret for a long time but somehow he managed to find out and even show her the evidence. I didn’t know Cahir had mastered that magic art, now I was taken unawares and it would take the grace of the gods for me to be able to talk my way out of this one. Adele always believes everything I tell her, but I have a feeling she won’t believe any kind of lies that I tell this time around.“You should leave now, my prince” one of them tells me, “we want to clean him up”With one last angry look at him, I make my way out of the room stopping when I come across my father and Desdemona.“How is your brother?” He asks me frantically and I scoff. I have never taken him a

    ADELE’s POV.I freeze the moment the dagger goes through him. He put himself in between Bastian and I willingly drove the dagger into him. My whole body starts to shake seeing the blood dripping from his injury.“Cahir!!” His name rolls out of my mouth as someone immediately pushes me away from him and I crash into a nearby table.People immediately gather around him, trying to hold onto him.“Cease her murderer!!” Someone yells but my whole attention is on the man in front of me whose gaze is still on me. Two men grab me from behind but I don’t even struggle with them, not when the man I love is bleeding in front of me. Why did he have to run in front of the dagger like that? I wanted to hurt Bastian because he killed my father, I didn’t plan on hurting Cahir. My body is shaking at this point, what will I do if something happens to him and he doesn’t make it?“Let her go!” His voice resonates in the entire hall, I can feel pain and anger from his voice, “she is going to stay by my s

    CAHIR’s POV.One last chance and she took his hand again. One last chance and she showed me why I shouldn't have bothered to give her a chance. She came to my banquet and decided to hang around my brother? I will kill her. I have always been a jealous one, not wanting to share what belongs to me. That is probably why I hate Bastian because I have to share my father with him and now I have to also share my wife’s affection with him. Even the gods bear me witness, I rather die than do something like that. She has made an enemy of me and I won’t just sit back, I won’t let her continue to ruin me. I made the right choice, she means nothing to me anymore.“You don’t look so happy here?” Father’s voice jolts me out of my thoughts, “is the banquet not to your liking?”“Of course it is father” I flash him a fake smile, wishing to be anywhere but here right now. Fuck!! I hate this, I hate this with every fiber of my being.“I thought so” I can see the strained smile on his lips. He never wante

It has been two weeks, two weeks that my family have been thrown in prison, two weeks of trying to purge him out of my system and I can’t lie, it hasn’t been easy but it is worth it. He arrested my family and that’s the deal breaker for me.“Do not worry, Morgana” I touch her shoulders lightly, “I won’t let anyone hurt me okay? And moreover, I am going with heartfyre, do you think that dragon will let anyone hurt me?”“Of course I trust her, I just don’t trust that General”“I will take them to a safe place and come back okay?”Smiling at her, I pick up my scabbard and off I go. In no time, hearfyre is up in the sky, our destination Drakeswoth. Today, I am going to put an end to every fucking thing.“I am sure the general is awaiting your arrival” her voice filters into my ear again.“He can wait all he wants. Do not speak or him again”With that I close my

I have always loved good wine, I just haven't had the time to drink them for a while now because I have been too concerned about my stubborn little wife who decided to choose my brother over me. I should have known that she would always choose him. She is with me because she can not be with him, she chose me because she didn’t know how to be with him. How dare her not believe me? His dare she thinks I would lie about her father when I know how much he means to her but my pretty little wife looked me in the eyes and called me a liar, she took his hand and led him out of the room.I angrily smash the goblet on the wall as that image somehow creeps Into my mind. My jaw clenches together and I close my eyes trying to push that memory out. She held his hand, she knows how much I hate him and how many fucking times did I tell her to stay away from him? Why the heck does she never listen?

    ADELE’s POV.“Of course I killed that old man” the grinning Bastian half yells, his sword to my neck, “he found out about things he shouldn’t have bothered himself with and you think I would let him live?”The grin on his face widens as he tries to slash my neck with his sword but I immediately open my eyes, it was a dream. My entire body is covered with sweat. The dream looked and sounded real like he was in front of me.It’s true, I still haven’t got Cahir’s words out of my head but does that warrant this kind of life like dream? The Bastian I know can be unruly but he wouldn’t dare to kill my father, will he? He told me he was innocent and I believed him so why did I have this dream? What in the god's name is going on that I do not know about?I gently climb out of the bed and make my way out of the room. Morgana and her father must be asleep. Not wanting to wake any of them up, I make my way out of the castle into the huge courtyard. Looking at it, it reminds me of the courtyard b
