Bonded to the ruthless General CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
ADELE’s POV.Sweat is dripping down my face as Zara and I engage in a heated fist fight. She is extremely good with her fists and I am glad she chose to teach me.This is two days after the encounter with Cahir and I have finally come to terms with the fact that he is the general and I am just an aspiring soldier. The two of us are opposites and we can never attract.“Cadets” xerxes’s voice cut through the intensity of our fight and we stop, alongside the others.“That’s all for today, you can retire now” he says again and everyone starts to mumble to themselves. Right now, the energy is radiating through my body and I just want to keep fighting.“Cadet Woods” he calls to Zara, “come with me”“Ugh!!!” I groan lightly, there goes the intensity of our fight.“Let's catch up later” Zara whispers to me before walking off.There is a stone bench around so I lower myself on it while I go ahead to remove my leather gloves. I have sensitive skin and the littlest bruise can show so much on my

ADELE’s POV.I continue watching them circle the sky until the four of them land in front of me and I almost lose my footing because of the intensity of their presence but Bastain is fast enough to catch me.“Are you okay?” He asks and I nod.“I am fine,” I tell him.Some other soldiers have already gathered and they all look in awe of the dragons.There is a black dragon, a blue dragon, a black and a red dragon and they all look fierce and dangerous. If I am an ordinary person, I would have run away but how can I? I have so much to learn about them, I have to find out if my father actually did something to warrant his death from them.I start to slowly walk towards them but Bastain grabs a hold of my hand.“You can not go near that thing, Adeline” he tells me, “they look dangerous and they could harm you”My mind drifts off to Cahir’s protection rune and I shake my head in the negative.“I will be fine,” I tell Bastain. I don’t know why I trust Cahir’s rune to protect me when I know

CAHIR’s POV.The moment she steps into her room, I grab her and pin her against the wall, my gaze darkening and my whole body tenses up.Just one silly thing from her is enough to get me upset. What kind of power does she have over me for godsake? Seeing the way Bastian jumped into to save her got me really upset. She wasn’t in danger to begin with even if she was, the rune would have saved her but she chose to just be foolish.“You are hurting me, general” she manages to say but I don’t loosen my grip on her, I am too upset to even do it. “Were you in danger?” I ask her.“Bastain didn’t believe that”“Were you in danger?” I ask her again.“No”“Good, stay away from him”“What?” Despite the pain radiating through her body, a huge frown appears on her forehead, “what are you talking about?”“If you want to reach your full potential, you have to stay away from him” I bark out, “do you understand what I am saying to you?”“He is my best friend”“I don’t care”I finally let go of her, “yo

ADELE’s POV.“Today we are going to be finding out clues about our enemies in the bushes. If your group fails to come back without any clues, you will be locked away in the dungeon for a week and if your group finds any clues, you are safe” xena’s voice resonates round the entire assembly ground.My eyes dart across everyone and they look ready except for me. I haven’t spoken to my best friend in a week, like he has been purposely avoiding me. I see him talking to Caroline more often and they seem to be getting close while Cahir is nowhere to be found. He disappears and appears when he deems fit. It’s none of my business though and I certainly do not feel like seeing him after the stunt he pulled earlier.“Meet with your group supervisors and you can set off” Xena says again and we all break up, clustering around in our small numbers and groups. My eyes open wide when I see James walking towards our group. Why is he coming here? I thought he had his own group.“It seems like he is the

BASTIAN’s POV,I pull her into my embrace right on time or this bastard would have hurt her. Wasn’t he even scared to attack her when she was with me? He is tired of living?My sword is buried deep into his chest and blood is pouring out of his mouth, this is when Adele slowly pull away from me and seeing James hanging on my sword, she lets out a gasp.“He wanted to attack you,” I tell her.“Do you think this is enough to stop me?” James asks, a mocking smirk on his lips.“What exactly do you want from me, James?” Adele inquires, “you were the same person who said foul things about my father and I will not take that. Haven’t you been hurt enough?”“I won’t rest until I kill you” he spits out in anger before he pushes the sword out of his body. Turning around, we watch him walk away much to my amazement. He doesn’t look hurt from the injury. This is my cue to keep Adele from him, he is a fucking psychopath.“Are you okay?” I ask her and she nods.“I am fine”“Good, we need to get out o

ADELE’s POV.After having a chat with Bastian, I finally make my way back to the fort. For the last four days, I developed a kind of sickness and it felt like I was going to die but Cahir didn’t let me out of the fort nor did he let me out of bed. For four days, he kept watch over me and I watched him infuse magic powers into me everyday to make sure I was fine. I even slipped into a coma on one of those days and I met my father in my dream. He told me I had a lot to do and I can’t die now. I asked him about my sealed energy and he told me it was fine to find out on my own and it was locked for a reason. He told me how much he loved me and how sorry he was that I have to go through all of this and he said nothing more. I kept asking him questions but I only watched him fade and fade into oblivion leaving me standing in the middle of nowhere.The last four days have been hectic and I actually thought I was going to die even though Cahir was with me. He didn’t stop being a jackass but

CAHIR’s POV.The moment I close her door behind me, I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding. Gods, her deep blue eyes made it almost impossible for me to stay away and I had to lean closer to get a better view of those eyes and those plump lips of hers.For the past four days, I have been taking care of her and believe me, I never want to see her in that kind of a situation again. It felt like she was going to die, she even slipped into a coma for a full day.I rake my fingers through my hair as I start down the hallway but I meet Xena halfway.Why the heck is she still here? I thought she left?“I thought you would never come out”“What do you want?”“About Adele, you…“We are not doing this”I already know what she wants to talk about and I am genuinely not in the mood to listen to her.“I am tired right now and I need to take some rest. If you are less busy, why don’t you track down the hideouts of the Alkis”“Wow, you won’t even talk to your sister but speak to your wife?

ADELE’s POV.Right from when we got on his dragon and his hand slipped around my waist, my body began to heat up and now being in his arms, his breath fanning my face and my body pressed against his shirtless body doesn’t feel like the right thing to do.I should move away from him, he is nothing but a hard hearted man and I will only get hurt. He has shown me times without numbers that I mean nothing to me and I shouldn’t give him this much power over me.I try to move away from him but he doesn’t let go, his hold becoming more tight on me.“Where are you going?”“I want to get some fresh air” I tell him, “so….“Do you want me?” His voice is hoarse and deep, his onyx eyes peering into mine.My heart skips a beat, why is he suddenly asking me this? He always told me to stay away from him and now he is asking if I want him. On two occasions, I told him I wanted him and on those two occasions, he made me feel like one of those harlots back in Drakeswoth who couldn’t keep their legs clos

CAHIR’s POV.When Bastian told me about who hurt her, I lost all sense of control and went in search of him. I met him being interrupted by xerxes but I didn’t even wait to hear what he had to say before landing my fisted jaw to his face. I didn’t stop there, I made sure to break his nose and his bones and I had him thrown in prison. He won’t be able to heal for a long time and even if he does, I will break his bones again and make him relive the moment over and over again. He hurt her, he has to pay even with his life.Even when Bastian told me about the leave, I opted to go myself. I don’t know the full level of his martial arts skills and how he would be able to hold off the enemies because Silvercrest and Drakesworth have been in constant battle for years. I sure won’t get what I went to look for on a platter of gold but I have a more better chance than him.I have ridden for a while, almost half a day before I finally reach the outskirts of silvercrest. I didn’t pass through the

BASTIAN’s POV.Adeline and I are sparring on the mat, she is saying something to me which is making me laugh but before I can respond to what she is saying, someone attacks her from behind and she falls forward, blood dripping from her mouth.I am fast in catching her before she falls to the ground, I look up to see James with a sleazy smirk on his face.“I will fucking kill you” I grit undrt my breath, “I swear to the gods”“that’s if you can save her before the poison gets to her heart”He doesn’t even look remorseful, he didn’t even care.“Wait for me” I mutter under my breath before gathering her up in my arms and running out of the hall. I meet Cahir who immediately goes to find James the moment I told him he was the one who injured her.I don’t bother asking him anything, my main worry now is about Adeline.“Is she going to be okay?” I ask the physician, “what happened?”“He used a spell to slow her heartbeat before infusing it with poison which will surely kill her if we do not

CAHIR’s POV.If I had known she was up to no good, I wouldn’t have left her alone in my room. How did heartfyre find her? He has been sealed off for years, how was he able to communicate with her? And to think that she even found the door to the cave at the first attempt. Adeline is even much more than I expected.Thinking about that dragon, I grit my teeth in anger. I won’t let it anywhere near her no matter what. She has been at bay for the longest time and I am going to keep it that way.“You can not stop fate, general” Ivar’s voice reaches my ear and I can feel a tinge of pain from it. I also understand how he feels. Not being able to be with the one who is bonded with causes a lot of pain which I have seen in Ivar’s eyes all these years. Ivar and heartfyre are two dragons bonded by heart but separated by circumstances.“Not now, Ivar” I cut him off, “where are you? We need to leg for Drakesworth now”“Are you sure you want to leave her young cadet alone here?”“I am going to war

ADELINE’s POV.When I open my eyes, Cahir is nowhere to be found but I can hear the sound of water splashing in the washroom. Fuck, a while ago I was almost screaming my lungs out because of how good it felt to have him inside of me again even though I knew it was just for that moment.My eyes travel to the wall again and I let out a sigh. I wouldn’t be able to check it out now but I am glad I have been able to find it.The bathroom door opens up and he steps out, a towel wrapped around his waist.Gods, this man is fucking hell. It must have taken years and years of intense workout to achieve this perfect body. From all the men I have seen, he has the most pronounced stomach abs and coupled with the few scars he has on his chest, he looks so good.. like someone straight out of a storybook. I know because I have read some of bryer’s books and looks exactly like the way those authors describe them.“If you are done staring, why don’t you get dressed?” His voice is so low and gruff and I

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,

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”

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

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“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
