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

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

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

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
