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
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
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.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
CAHIR’s POVWith each step I take away from her, the urge to turn back and pull her into my arms and tell her how much I love her and how much I want to be with her. When I saw her earlier with Bastain, I was so upset that I had to come here to find her and when I saw her looking so beautiful inside that water, I wanted to keep looking at her forever but I didn’t want her to know she is my weak point , I want to be able to protect her without raising suspicion from anyone including the king and Bastain. The only person who knows about my plan is Desdemona and I will kill her if she ever thinks of betraying me.After leaving them, I make my way back to the palace, just in time to see the king before he leaves. Because of Adele, I have been frequenting the palace lately. Even though I don’t like it, I have to do it for her and nothing else.Today, I used my powers to trap Bastian in an endless loop of looking for her, I don’t know what I will do next when it comes to her. The only thing
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

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
