CAHIR’s POV.Walking into the compound and seeing her seated on the stone bench, her eyes closed and a scroll in hand.. a part of me wants to pull her into my embrace but the other part that doesn't want anything to do with her wins and I let her open her eyes to see me.She is crying, why? Did she find out? Does she know the main reason? What’s going on in her head? I have a lot of questions as I continue to stare back at her then she asks me if I knew, if that was the main reason why I married her. Well, the mark on my arm says so. We have the same type of mark, the mark that binds us together for all of eternity. I was fire and she was water, together we complete each other.“Answer me, Cahir” her voice jolts me out of my thoughts again, “did you know this?”“When you have finally become a soldier, I will tell you why I married you for now you need to come with me”“I am not going anywhere with you” she says stubbornly, “so get the hell out of my face”“You do not have a choice, Ad

BASTIAN’s POV.It is already two hours after Adeline left my house so I decided to go see her again. It’s not like I was doing anything at home but as soon as I reach her house, I see her mother sitting on the stone bench outside, Adeline is nowhere to be seen.“Good evening aunt” I greet her.“Bastian” she calls out to me, “didn’t you leave with them?” She asks and a look of confusion appears on my face.“What do you mean, aunt?”“Adele has left for the barracks, this general came to take her away”Anger immediately built up inside of me, why the heck won’t Cahir take no for an answer. She clearly doesn’t want him and he still continues to chase after her. When it comes to her, I don’t mind killing him.“When did they leave?”“A few minutes after she got here”“Thanks aunt” I immediately rush out of the compound, my mind connecting to my coatyl almost immediately.“Come to me,” I tell her“Will you keep stressing me for that weak human?” She asks drowsily from her sleep?“That weak w

ADELINE’s POV.A light groan leaves my mouth and I slowly open my eyes. My eyes travel round the room as I pull my body to a sitting position. This is my room back at the fort. How did I get here? I can’t seem to remember what happened but I remember telling Cahir that I do not wish to stay in the fort anymore.My thoughts are interrupted when the door pushes open and Xena saunters in with a tray of food.“You have finally woken up”I don’t bother answering, I genuinely do not have the strength to exchange words with her.“Have your food” she says, drops the food on the table beside me, “Cahir said you should finish every single morsel”“I am not hungry” I tell her, pulling my body off the bed, “I think I need to leave now”She watches me pull out my boot from under the bed and get dressed before grabbing my scabbard.“Thank you”“Where are you going?”“The other cadets should be returning now, I will join them”“The general has not given you permission to leave”“I do not need his pe

ADELE’s POV“What do you mean you are bad for me, Cahir?” I go ahead to ask him, “what exactly is so dangerous about me loving you and you loving me? You married me, you feel something for me”“I married you because you are useful to me” he sneers, his eyes lingering on my lips for a while, “and with everything I have going on in my head, I do not have the strength to fall in love”“But….” I touch his arm lightly, “it’s not my fault that I fell for you..you.He grips my shoulders violently and I wince in pain.“Don’t you hate me?” He asks, “you said you would hate me forever right? You should keep hating me, that’s the only thing that can keep you alive. Do not love me Adeline”Letting go of me, he walks out of the tent. Part of me wants to follow him but I stop myself. He has clearly told me he didn’t love me, I shouldn’t cling onto him again. He made it clear to me, I would only be stupid if I kept clinging onto him.Sniffing back a tear, I clean the tears glistening my eyes and clo

CAHIR’s POV.She hasn’t looked at me since the day i rejected her, she has immersed herself in training sessions, not bothering to even spare me a glance.I watch her like a hawk when she hangs out with her friends and even more when she hangs out with Bastain. She laughs with him when he says something amusing which irritates me. She doesn’t know him like I do yet she acts like he is the best thing that has happened to her.The other day, they were both in the same sparring group and I watched him allow her to win. Is that the way he wants to help her? By not letting her reach her full potential? I think he doesn’t know what lies ahead of her and he thinks he would be able to protect her every fucking day.Now they are having a lecture and from where I am seated, I can see the two of them chit chatting during classes. I clench my jaw together, maybe I need to go harder on her than I already am.“General” xerxes’s voice reaches my ear and I raise my head to see him standing beside me.

ADELE’s POV.We haven’t spoken in days and the first thing he asks me when he sees me Is why I am chit chatting in class and before I can even say anything, another lady comes calling him in the sweetest voice I have ever heard. Before I left, I saw her and I can’t lie, she is pretty and she looks like someone worthy of standing beside him. I guess this is why he rejected me, she could be the person xena told me about but a little part of me still hurts. I mean, he married me for reasons best known to him then he discards me and brings his lover to make me upset.I can’t lie I was jealous and upset throughout until he showed up at the dining room. Part of me wants to walk to him and throw my hands around his neck and kiss him but his lover could be somewhere behind him. Our gaze met for a moment but he didn't linger, I guess this is what we are now.But best believe I was happy when he asked Caroline to be thrown into the dungeon. She has been on my case for a while now and my joy kno

ADELE’s POV.“If you are his woman, why are you telling me?” I force myself to ask her, “you do not know me and I do not know you, you shouldn’t be bothered”“Of course” her eyes travel around me before settling on my face again, “but tell me, what are you doing here?”“I had something to discuss with the general so I came to find him”“He isn’t here, he is at the tent”“Okay, thank you”After that, I try to leave but she halts me.“You haven’t even told me your name”“It doesn’t matter, priestess”Not waiting for her response, I hasten away. What the heck was I thinking even coming here? He clearly doesn’t want me and I keep clinging onto him. Why would he chose me when he has someone like her?I haven’t gone far when I see him and Xena coming towards the fort. As soon as he sees me, he stops walking but I walk past him, not on my life. He has seen me vulnerable once, I won’t let him see that again.“Cadet!” His voice halts me, “what are you doing here?”“I came to look for Bastian”

CAHIR’s POV.The moment I entered the room, I felt her presence and I knew she was here somewhere. What I didn’t know was why she came here. She made it clear to me that she doesn’t want anything to do with me again but here she is in my room and hiding behind my curtains.She heard everything about me, everything about my love and my life. I can’t lie, I was upset but it’s not like she wouldn’t find out sooner or later.Even as I told her to leave my room, she keeps standing watching me pull my shirt. I can only get into her head for a moment, how I wish I can know what’s going on in her head. These days, she has become so close to Bastian and I am sure he knows a lot more about her than me.“Aren’t you going to leave?” I ask, not bothering to look at her.“Did that hurt?” Her voice reaches me and I frown upon hearing that, what does she mean?I turn my head and I see her standing a few feet from me, her face has a puzzled look on there.“Your tattoo, did it….She comes close to me,

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
