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.I wave Zara and the others goodbye before making my way towards the lady. As soon as I get to her, she starts walking towards the other side of the courtyard away from the others, not bothering to say anything to me. Everyone who sees her bows to her lightly. It can only mean one thing is a high ranking officer.I use this opportunity to study her and she looks really formidable. Tall and slim with her brown hair tied neatly. She has several daggers strapped to her body with two swords in her scabbard trapped to her back. I can’t help but wonder who she is, I haven’t seen her since we got here and it's been three days.We didn’t stop until we get to a secluded part of the barracks. There is no one around, no one in sight and she looks scary. What are the odds that she would kill me? Well, it’s not my fault that I always think like that when I am near people like hr.“MacAlister?” She calls my name and I nod, “I never expected it to be you” she further adds and a look of c

    ADELE’s POV.Training for the day is done and almost everyone has retired to their dorms. If you ask me the name of the gods that gave me the audacity to sneak out of my room to where Bastian said I should meet him, I would not be able to tell you but here I am sneaking past soldiers towards the big three at the back of the armory. Where the heck did I get the courage from and how did he even know of this place?I flatten my body against the wall when I see a group of soldiers patrolling. I swear I will give Bastian a tight slap if I am caught.Luckily they pass by me in the silent night and I continue to get to the tree but there is no one there.Did he not come after he made me risk my life to be here? What a jerk.“Hey” a voice calls out behind me and I turn around to see him walking towards me, bare to the waist. I swallow hard at the figure in front of me, he looks good, too good if you ask me.Bastian has always been a handsome man but seeing his well sculpted body that has been

    ADELE’s POV.All of us are gathered in the main hall, Lance and another blonde boy are both on the sparring mat. Cheers and applause rise from the crowd at intervals. Lance is a strong contender, not a single stain of blood on him but the blonde looks like he bathes in blood. The only rule is not to kill, you are free to do anything else.“Man, that one is strong,” Zara says beside me, her lips into a smirk.“Who is your opponent?” I ask her.“Her” she points to Caroline who is looking my way and I swear I can see hate and anger inside her eyes. Why exactly does she hate me? It’s not like we have any kind of history together.“Seems like she wants to beat me more than you” I whisper to Zara, “she has been glaring at me for a while now”“I will break all of her fucking bones if she dares to act coy with me” Zara threatens and I stifle a smile.I look up and I see Bastian staring at me from where he is seated with some boys. He made friends fast, I give him that. He is saying something

I was paired with a girl who came last year and she beat the shit out of me, snapping my shoulder blade off in the process. Bastian and Zara rushed me to the infirmary where I would say I was stitched together but it still hurts.

    As soon as he walks into the room, I immediately jump off the bed. I didn’t know he would come, no one made mention of it. It's been quite some days since that wedding shenanigans and I have a lot to ask him. I need to know why he chose me when he can readily choose anyone else. My eyes travel over him and I gulp. I can’t lie, he looks scary, very scary and from the way he looks, it seems like he has been on the battlefield for a while. His hair is pulled into a messy bun and his mouth is pressed into a thin line. He has a new scar running through his left eye up to his brows but that doesn’t reduce his beauty, rather he looks more beautiful and more ruthless. I shake my head to remove such thoughts. I shouldn’t be thinking about him in that way, he almost killed me the day I stepped into the barracks. Swallowing hard, I keep looking at him waiting for him to say something. We both clearly hate each other and I am not going to give him that satisfaction to think he has any effect

    CAHIR’s POV. The very moment she stepped into the barracks, I knew she was the one. The daughter of the treacherous MacAlister who almost put the whole country into turmoil and danger, she had guts, she didn’t have a filter over her mouth and mumbled whatever she wanted and that red hair of hers would make her prone to the enemy's attack. But then despite the instant hate I developed for her the moment I saw her, I had to marry her, she had to become my wed bride and I am still very much upset about it. I didn’t spend years and years of my life cultivating immense power to get wed to someone who can’t even use a sword. The more I think about it, the more upset I become. I remember that night when ivar, my dragon, spoke to me about her and I almost went berserk. “You must be joking” I tell him, “and you know it” “Well, we both know you have to do it” he snickers, “take her as your bride and build her through the journey. General, you clearly do not have a choice now, do you?”

    ADELE’s POV. After he leaves, I just can’t get the thought of the kiss out of my head. He hates me, I didn’t expect him to kiss me and even smirk about it. That man is more sly than I actually thought, he actually kissed and looked like he enjoyed it. “Pathetic” I mutter under my breath, His reputation is just bad overall. I look out of the window hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever Is happening outside but nothing. It feels like he purposely chose this room for me so I won’t be able to see anything. The door creaks open and a man saunters in followed by one of the soldiers. “He is here to check on your wounds” she says before making her way out. I think I remember this man, he looks vaguely familiar but I can’t fathom where I have seen him. Could be back in Drakesworth. “Macalister” he calls out and the frown on my face intensifies, how did he know?” “How do you know my name?” I manage to ask him, walking back to the amazingly soft bed, “I have a feeling that I have se

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.

    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

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?

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.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
