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

    ADELE’s POV.Loosening the lace of my boots, I move them under the bed before falling limply on the bed. The training session yesterday was much more intense than last time. 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. Xerxes gave me a four day holiday from all activities and I can’t help but be thankful to him.The whole place is chilly and quiet, the others are in class learning about the history of the borders and why the barracks was shifted out of Drakesworth.

    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

I don’t even know how I got to this part of the forest but it looks so calm, I could stay here forever and not get tired of it. But something immediately clicks in my head and I immediately pull away from him. A look of surprise appears on Bastian’s face.“Stay away from him” Cahir’s voice rings in my ear as he slammed into me with reckless abandon. He made it clear that he didn’t want me hanging around with Bastian and even fucked me to tears so I wouldn’t forget that.My face flush, how did we get here? How did..“Are you okay?” His voice cuts through me again, concern written on his face, “tell me, did something happen to you?”I abruptly stand up, dusting the back of my pants.“I am fine,” I manage to tell him, “but we should probably go now. It’s getting late”“Why? We can stay here as long as we want, no one will say anything. Rest assured”“Well” I fold my hands ac

He said things that he would never say and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t shake those words out of my head. He was mean to me, he said horrible things to me and I will make him remember that for as long as he is alive.“Cadet” a voice calls behind me and I raise my head to see one of the palace soldiers.“Yes”“The Queen will be ready to leave in a few minutes, you should get ready to escort her.“Okay, I am already ready though”“You should get her chariot out”“Sure”After getting the chariot out, I wait by it and after a while, I see her coming towards me with Bastian beside her. They are both saying something and laughing about it. My heart cramps but I shake it off, it is actually none of my business.“Your majesty” I bow to her but she ignores me and turns to Bastian.“Please, ride with me”“Of course not, your majesty” he says, “I wi

    BASTIAN’s POVFuck!!!I have never been so angry in my life; I have never felt like killing someone like I feel now. I want to kill Cahir, I want to cut his body into tiny tiny pieces and scatter them all over the country. He touched her, he was in her room , she was naked and he fucked her.My blood is boiling, my whole body is shaking. I have never felt so helpless like I feel now. And she even allowed him, she let him touch her. I thought she said they were over? So what is he doing in her room? Did she lie to me, did she plan all this with him?I rake my hands through my hair, she can’t lie to me. Adeline is far too naïve to do that, he must have forced her and that’s why he was in her room. She must have begged him, she must have tried to tell him not to touch her but that bastard, I am sure he didn’t listen and he took advantage of her. I am going to make him pay in such a way that he will beg but I will be the one laughing last.I dip my whole body into the water again, lettin

    ADELE POV.Someone frantically knocks on my door and I push my body off the bed but before I can even get to the door, it pushes open and my husband’s angry face comes into view. He looks so upset, so fucking upset.“Cahir, you…..The words hang in my throat as he yanks me closer and slam his lips on mine. Anger, desire, pain, lust and everything in between. He pushes me back against the wall and deepens the kiss making it almost impossible for me to breathe. Part of me like it, the part that want to have my hand wrapped around his torso while he fucked me into oblivion but the other part, the logical one wants to push him away and make him understand that he can not just walk into my room and kiss me like he owns me. Technically he does since we are still married but that aside, he can’t just.With my last ounce of logic, I gently push him off and a frustrated groan leaves his mouth as he pulls away from me. He is still close, so close that his natural scent is making a mess of me a

    CAHIR’s POV.“Good, I want all of them in before next weekend” my voice resonates round the room as all eyes remain on me. Two days after I returned from Drakeworth, it has been boring. I haven’t seen her in two days and I genuinely do not know what’s going on. If I had known that Bastian would pack his belongings and go with her, I would have thought of something else to do with her.With hearfyre still out there, the urge to protect her continues to grow. I trust that she won’t be able to get her back in Drakesworth because it has been an age long tradition that drains are not allowed in the country unless with their bonded humans and that’s why I can always take Ivar with me anytime I visit.“Is that all?” Xerxes asks, cutting off my train of thought.“Didn’t you get it?”“Sorry?”“Don’t be stupid, Xerxes” the words are out of my mouth before I can even stop myself. I am being a bastard now but I genuinely have no intention of stopping. My wife is in Drakesworth with my brother wh

    BASTIAN’s POV.I watched her leave, her shoulders hanging low. I knew Adele ever since she was a child. One thing is that she would never want to bug anyone with her problems no matter how large it is. She is having issues with her family but no one knows. Her sister and her mother both treat her badly but after knowing her, she opened up to me.I can say that I know her the most in this world, I know her more than everyone and it gives me a kind of joy to know her and be able to help her. That’s why the moment I watch her walk out of the palace gates, I turn around and walk back into the house. I need to have a serious conversation with Desdemona, I do not care if she is the queen but I do not play about Adele. Yes, I killed her father but she doesn’t know about that and she doesn’t need to know. He found out what he was not supposed to and that led to his death. Once again, people should mind their fucking businesses.Shoving the thoughts of him to the back of my head, I quicken my

It’s official, I am the most kept in the dark person in Drakesworth.They look close, Cahir is smiling genuinely at her and even Bastian too. They look really close.“I didn’t know you worked for him, aunt”“The palace kept it a secret, my dear” she says, “even your mother found out recently when she told me that you had gone to the borders to become a soldier. Then I told Cahir to take care of you. I think the gods are on my side because the two of you got marriage”“It was a sham marriage, Gwen” the words are out of my mouth before I can even stop it, “we are asking the king for a divorce”“What?” Her head whips towards him, “a divorce? Why?”“We are not getting a divorce, Gwen” Cahir says as a matter of fact, “you can try all you want. Gwen, I

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.
