Bonded to the ruthless General CHAPTER NINETY ONE
CAHIR’s POV.I have looked for her for as long as I can think of but I have not gotten any glimpse of her yet. It’s been a whole day and yet, I haven’t seen her. I have searched all of Drakesworth and its environs, I have looked for her in places I shouldn’t and still yet.I rake my fingers through my already disheveled hair, I am slowly losing my mind. Where the hell is she? Is she fine? Did heartfyre do something to her? Is she eating? I have a whole lot of questions but no one to ask, no one to even run to. I shouldn’t have let her go, I should have stopped her at all costs. Now who knows where that dragon has taken her.“Cahir?” A familiar voice calls behind me and I turn my head abruptly to see Xena coming towards me, a concerned look on her face. The last thing I want right now is for anyone to pity me. I want them to fucking find her and not pity me. Why the heck won’t anyone fucking listen to me?“Why are you here?”“I have come to check on you, Cahir” she says, “you have been

CAHIR’s POV.She is seated there when I get there looking so different from the last few hours that I saw her.She isn't wearing her usual pants and corset top but now she is putting on a black dress, one that looks so beautiful on her and it compliments her red hair. From where I am standing, I can see she doesn’t look happy, she has an expressionless look on her face. Did Hearfyre do something to her? Why does she look so lifeless? Why does it look like she has a lot going on in her mind?Letting out a sigh, I massage the back of my head lightly before I start walking towards her.As soon as our eyes meet, a small smirk which doesn’t quite reach her eyes.“Adele” I call out to her gently, lowering myself beside her. Before any of us say anything again, I pull her into my embrace and bury my face in the crook of her neck. Gods!! I miss her, I missed her so much just In a few hours. How can this be? The way she slowly crept into my life and made me become so soft for her is so alarmin

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

ODETTE’s POV.I yawn lightly and pull my eyes open. This has to be the most peaceful sleep I have had in months. The bed is so soft, the room smells so nicely and it is well furnished with everything I would ever need.With another sigh, I pull my body to a sitting position and at that moment, a knock resonates on the door.“My lady” her voice filters through, “are you awake?”“Yes, come on in” I tell her and the huge doors pushing open. She steps into the room with a tray.“I made you a herbal drink” she says setting it down beside me, “it is good for the body”“Thank you, Morgana” I tell her, “I will drink it later”“I also made some food. Should I serve it?”“Please do, I am famished”“Thank you”With another bow, she turns around and walks out of the room leaving me to my thoughts again.Part of me misses Cahir, I want to see him and ask him a lot of questions. I need him to tell me everything he knows about the prophecy. I want to know if he was aware of what was supposed to happ

ADELE’s POVThe huge gates open and heatryre flies in. I have never seen a gate so huge and so wide before. It feels like giants can go through it but as she continues to fly through the huge courtyard, I start to see other dragons.After a while, heartfyre ducks for the ground and I slide off her back. As soon as my feet touch the ground, a feeling of familiarity envelopes it. It feels like I have been here before, it feels like I know every nook and cranny of this place but I am sure I have never been here before, I have never even heard of it.“Where are we?” I ask her.“Welcome to your land of dragons, cadet” she responds and a feeling of confusion settles within me. My land of dragons? How is that even possible? I thought the only dragons that existed were the ones in Drakeworth. How come there is a land of dragons which I have never heard about?“How is this even possible?”“Welcome back, my lady” a voice says behind me and I abruptly turn around to see a man. He looks old, very

BASTIAN’s POV.Maybe I shouldn’t have said that out of the blue because now my old man is looking at me in a way I can’t quite fathom. I have never called him father before but calling him father today made the look in his eyes flutter. Was he happy that I called him father? Did he want me to call him that? Did he want me to see him as my father?Even after Cahir had left, the two of us continued to stand there looking at each other. I also want to leave, I also want to go and search for her but for the first time, I want Cahir to take the lead. I know he will find her, he will try to find her no matter what. I have given him the push that he needs and I hope he doesn’t make me regret it.“Leave us” king Taurus orders his guards and they immediately back away giving us more room. At this point, I want to run away and hide. I don’t like the look on his face like we owe each other anything. As far as anything is concerned, I do not have anything to do with this man.“I think i should g

CAHIR’s POV.Watching her leave; my heart shatters into a million pieces. She was supposed to come at me, hold my hand and tell me she wants to stay with me. She shouldn’t have gone with that dragon who would only put her in harm’s way.I rake my hands through my hair as I watch hearfyre fly away, now Adele will be branded a criminal forever and king Taurus wouldn’t hesitate to harm her. He will hunt her down and make sure she pays for even things she has not done.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath.“You see that?” Desdemona says behind me, “that is the same person you want to keep by yourself? Did you see that? She left with the dragon, she is a criminal and you father will not let her live even if you try”“Just shut up, Desdemona!!” I half yell, “I do not need you to tell me anything now!”“What happened?” Bastian asks as he rushes into the dungeon, “Adele?”I came the moment his message got to me. I came as fast as I could and now..“She left” Des tells him, “and now your father w

ADELE’s POV.I don’t know for how long I have been in this dungeon because it is completely sealed off from the outside world. I have a feeling that this is the dungeon meant for murderers and the high criminals of Drakesworth. Keeping me here meant one thing, she is going all out. She wants to show me that she is the queen and I can not run from her even if I want to.My thoughts are interrupted when the dungeon door opens up and I look up to see her, a sleazy smile lingering on her face.“My lady” I force myself to bow when the only thing I want to do at this point is stab her hard with one of my daggers and make sure she never survives it.“The hunter has become the hunted” her voice is laced with mockery and sarcasm, “look at you, just one day and you are a shadow of your former select cadet. You really shouldn’t have gone behind me to do what you did, cadet”“And what exactly did I do?” My anger takes over me, “you just asked your soldiers to have me arrested and you kept me here
Bonded to the ruthless General CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE
BASTIAN’s POV.I have been waiting for her but even after a few hours, she still isn’t back yet. Did she get into trouble somewhere? Did something happen? I don’t even know what to think anymore. I know Adele can take care of herself but I just can’t rest assured when she isn’t close to me. A lot of people want her dead and I want to keep her safe, even from myself.Letting out a sigh, I make my way out of the room but I come across Imogene and another cadet. From the look on both faces, it seems something is definitely wrong somewhere.“What’s going on?” I ask them, “why do the two of you look like this?”“Adele was arrested” Imogene blurts out, “the queen took her at the gate”“Why? What happened?”“We do not know, she just took her”I ball my hands into a fist, Desdemona!! How dare she? We talked about this, how dare she still try to harm Adele when I have warned her time without number.Without saying anything, I hasten down the hallway to her room. I don’t bother to knock and jus

ADELE’s POV.I don’t stop walking until we reach a secluded place and this is when I come to an abrupt halt, anger radiating through me. How can Bryer even say something like that? How can she look me in the face and say something so utterly demeaning and disrespectful towards me. Me? I caused our fathers death? How the heck did she even find that out? I never told anyone, I didn’t even tell her so how did she even find out?.I rake my fingers through my hair in frustration, I hate that she gets to me every single time. Since my father died, I have tried to always be there for her and our mother but none of them have ever thought of being there for me. No matter what happens, I am always the unfilial child, the one who has to accept anything anyone tells me.I let out a heavy sigh as a familiar figure comes to stand beside me. He hasn’t said anything since we left the tavern and for the love of the gods, I hope he doesn’t start now. I am genuinely not in the mood to listen to him spea
