Bonded to the ruthless General CHAPTER NINETEEN
BASTIAN’s POV. Seeing her walk away, I let out a heavy sigh. I didn’t expect her to react that way but I have known for the longest time that she has feelings for me. Adeline doesn’t bother to hide the way she drools over me so why didn’t she accept me? It can only be one thing, because of Cahir. I am going to make sure I keep her safe from a maniac like him, I will protect her from him no matter what. Looking back at her retreating figure, I can’t help but smile. Adeline, as I fondly call her, is the most hardworking girl I know, she makes sure nothing stops her right from when we were kids and up till now, she still has that spirit. I hear a rustling sound behind me and I turn around to see Xena perching on a branch of a tree, her attention on me and she looks amused. “Shouldn’t you be in the dining room, cadet?” She asks me, jumping down from the tree. “Are you following me?” She scoffs, pulling her hair into a messy bun, “I can get you punished for ditching your meal bu

ADELE’s POV. Groaning lightly, I gently slump on the bed and close my eyes. My shoulder got injured again and I had to get a cast on it. I didn’t go back to the training hall again because the supervisor told me to get some rest. Now here I am lying down on my bed in the fort with my aching shoulders and my mind wandering around. I am still pissed at Bastian for hiding things from me but I can’t totally blame him. I also hid the fact that I was married to Cahir from him too but even though he is hiding way too many things than I can even imagine. How did he know what James’s rune was for? I have seen his body and I haven’t seen any rune on him before. My thoughts are interrupted when a knock resonates on my door and a female soldier saunters in. “Someone is here to see you, she is waiting by the gate” “Okay” I jump out of bed and grab a tacky shirt from the hanger before making my way out. whoever it is better come bearing good news because right now, I am not even in the m

CAHIR’s POV. The moment I walk out of the room, I slump against the wall and close my eyes. I shouldn’t have kissed her because that actually gave her the wrong impression like something can happen between us. To me, she is only here because of that mark on her neck and a good number of people died for her cause, people like my mother. The only thing I feel for her is hatred and nothing more. Once I no longer need her, I will be the one to put a dagger through her head. “Where are you?” I ask Ivar. “Waiting for your order, general,” he answers. “We leave at once” I start making my way down the large stairs. I was in Drakesworth when I noticed she was in danger and I had to come see for myself. That girl puts me in a constant state of worry for her. Ivar is already waiting in front of the gates but seeing the look on his face, i know he has a whole lot to say and I am genuinely not ready to hear it. He never misses a chance to taunt me. “You sure took your time, didn’t y

ADELE’s POV. Sweat is dripping down my face as Zara and I engage in a heated fist fight. She is extremely good with her fists and I am glad she chose to teach me. This is two days after the encounter with Cahir and I have finally come to terms with the fact that he is the general and I am just an aspiring soldier. The two of us are opposites and we can never attract. “Cadets” xerxes’s voice cut through the intensity of our fight and we stop, alongside the others. “That’s all for today, you can retire now” he says again and everyone starts to mumble to themselves. Right now, the energy is radiating through my body and I just want to keep fighting. “Cadet Woods” he calls to Zara, “come with me” “Ugh!!!” I groan lightly, there goes the intensity of our fight. “Let's catch up later” Zara whispers to me before walking off. There is a stone bench around so I lower myself on it while I go ahead to remove my leather gloves. I have sensitive skin and the littlest bruise can show

ADELE’s POV. I continue watching them circle the sky until the four of them land in front of me and I almost lose my footing because of the intensity of their presence but Bastain is fast enough to catch me. “Are you okay?” He asks and I nod. “I am fine,” I tell him. Some other soldiers have already gathered and they all look in awe of the dragons. There is a black dragon, a blue dragon, a black and a red dragon and they all look fierce and dangerous. If I am an ordinary person, I would have run away but how can I? I have so much to learn about them, I have to find out if my father actually did something to warrant his death from them. I start to slowly walk towards them but Bastain grabs a hold of my hand. “You can not go near that thing, Adeline” he tells me, “they look dangerous and they could harm you” My mind drifts off to Cahir’s protection rune and I shake my head in the negative. “I will be fine,” I tell Bastain. I don’t know why I trust Cahir’s rune to protec

CAHIR’s POV. The moment she steps into her room, I grab her and pin her against the wall, my gaze darkening and my whole body tenses up. Just one silly thing from her is enough to get me upset. What kind of power does she have over me for godsake? Seeing the way Bastian jumped into to save her got me really upset. She wasn’t in danger to begin with even if she was, the rune would have saved her but she chose to just be foolish. “You are hurting me, general” she manages to say but I don’t loosen my grip on her, I am too upset to even do it. “Were you in danger?” I ask her. “Bastain didn’t believe that” “Were you in danger?” I ask her again. “No” “Good, stay away from him” “What?” Despite the pain radiating through her body, a huge frown appears on her forehead, “what are you talking about?” “If you want to reach your full potential, you have to stay away from him” I bark out, “do you understand what I am saying to you?” “He is my best friend” “I don’t care”I fin

ADELE’s POV. “Today we are going to be finding out clues about our enemies in the bushes. If your group fails to come back without any clues, you will be locked away in the dungeon for a week and if your group finds any clues, you are safe” xena’s voice resonates round the entire assembly ground. My eyes dart across everyone and they look ready except for me. I haven’t spoken to my best friend in a week, like he has been purposely avoiding me. I see him talking to Caroline more often and they seem to be getting close while Cahir is nowhere to be found. He disappears and appears when he deems fit. It’s none of my business though and I certainly do not feel like seeing him after the stunt he pulled earlier. “Meet with your group supervisors and you can set off” Xena says again and we all break up, clustering around in our small numbers and groups. My eyes open wide when I see James walking towards our group. Why is he coming here? I thought he had his own group. “It seems like he

BASTIAN’s POV, I pull her into my embrace right on time or this bastard would have hurt her. Wasn’t he even scared to attack her when she was with me? He is tired of living? My sword is buried deep into his chest and blood is pouring out of his mouth, this is when Adele slowly pull away from me and seeing James hanging on my sword, she lets out a gasp. “He wanted to attack you,” I tell her. “Do you think this is enough to stop me?” James asks, a mocking smirk on his lips. “What exactly do you want from me, James?” Adele inquires, “you were the same person who said foul things about my father and I will not take that. Haven’t you been hurt enough?” “I won’t rest until I kill you” he spits out in anger before he pushes the sword out of his body. Turning around, we watch him walk away much to my amazement. He doesn’t look hurt from the injury. This is my cue to keep Adele from him, he is a fucking psychopath. “Are you okay?” I ask her and she nods. “I am fine” “Good, we

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

ADELE’s POV.“Are you sure about this?” Morgana asks for the umpteenth time and once again, I nod. I think I am more than ready. 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

CAHIR’s POV.“You are making a mistake, General” Ivar tells me as I gulp down the content of the glass. 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

ADELE’s POV.A week later.Seeing the smile on all their faces, my heart swells in joy. They all look Look happy to see me like I have been a part of them for thousands of years. I don't know but somewhere within me I know that I have to protect these people even if I don't know anything about them. They are under my command now. They have become my own people and I have become their leader.The last week has been hectic for me, I tried to forget everything that Cahir said to me, how he made me feel like I was a bother to him and I actually regretted the fact that I felt vulnerable in front of him even for a moment. He is not to be trusted, he is not someone I should have put my trust in and now I have witnessed that first hand. Diets, he wanted to take me to his father and as if that was not enough, he lied about Bastian being responsible for what happened to my father. He knows how much I get triggered by my father yet he chose to say to me. I will never be able to forgive him and I

BASTIAN’s POV.As soon as she walks off, I turn around and make my way back to Cahir’s room. How did he even find out that I killed Adele’s father? Only Xena and Caroline know about me, did one of them tell him? How did that bastard find out about me?I was at a loss for words when he blurted that out but imagine my surprise when she didn’t believe him. Adele is obsessed with finding her father’s killer and I thought she would jump at the chance of pinning her father’s death on me but imagine my surprise when she grabs a hold of my hand and pulls me out of the room. She chose me, she chose me over her husband and I can’t feel more fulfilled than any other achievements I have ever had. But own thing, her pregnancy. I have to deal with that once and for all, she can’t be pregnant for him. That child will end up belonging to me and that’s the biggest truth. I won’t let him harm Adele even in any way, she is mine and she just proved it hands down.I push his door open and saunter into th

ADELE’s POV.It’s like my world has come to a standstill after hearing what Cahir just said. What the hell did he mean by Bastian killing my father? I only came here to tell him about my pregnancy and not to have the two of them play with my feelings like this. Cahir knows how sensitive I am when it forms to my father yet he is still uttering such words. When did my dad’s topic become something he can joke about? And that too, with Bastian? Telling me that my best friend killed my dad will forever be funny to me. I know Bastian has done a whole lot of things which we are both not proud of but joking like this is not something I want.I clench my jaw together, turning to Cahir again. He has a smug look on his face. I should have known. He is not someone who wants to lose and he will put anything and everything on the line for that. What did I expect from someone who wants to take me to his father just because I told him I was pregnant even when he knows what his father wants to do to m
