The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 6
Ava POVAs I walk away, I can feel General Kaelen's eyes on me, burning into my skin. I try to ignore the sensation, focusing on putting one foot in front of the other.But it's hard to shake off the feeling that I'm being pulled back, that General Kaelen's gaze is a physical force that's drawing me to him.I quicken my pace, my heart pounding in my chest. I don't know what's going on, or why General Kaelen would suddenly order me to always look on him. Is he trying to punish me for breaking the rule?I make my way back to my tent, my heart racing with every step. I can feel the weight of the camp's attention on me, and I know that I'm in for a rough ride. I had to get back to cleaning up the mess in my room as Mistress Elara had summoned me before I was done. I began to pick up the clothes and dirt's around, but stopped halfway. Something feels off.I spin around, my eyes scanning the space. That's when I see it. A small piece of paper on my bed, with a message scrawled on it."Be ca

I hesitate, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Elsie's kind face makes me trust her."He told me to meet his eyes," I say, my voice barely above a whisper. "He said I have to obey him."Elsie says nothing but keeps looking at me with keen eyes. I decide to take the risk and show her the note. Perhaps she might just be of help."Be careful, Ava. You're playing with fire," Elsie reads aloud, her eyes widening."Do you have any idea who must have left the note for me?" I ask."No," she answers.Elsie's expression turns grave. "Ava, you have to be careful. General Kaelen is not a man to be trifled with. He's powerful, and he's ruthless."I nod, feeling a chill run down my spine. I know that Elsie is right. I have to be careful, or I'll end up getting hurt.But as I look at Elsie, I realize that she's not just warning me about General Kaelen. She's warning me about something more.Something that could change everything."Ava, there's something you need to know," Elsie says,

"Ava" He remembers my name. I didn't really think he heard me say my name.For a moment, I expected him to smile or say something kind, but instead, he gave me a cold shoulder, his expression unreadable.I felt a pang of disappointment, but I tried not to let it show. "Sorry about that," I said, trying to sound casual.Zayne nodded curtly and turned to walk away, leaving me feeling a bit bewildered.I shrugged and continued on my way, wondering why Zayne had been so brusque with me. Had I done something to offend him?As I walked, I couldn't shake the feeling that Zayne's behavior was more than just a coincidence. For a moment there, he almost did crack a joke with me, but then, like a blink of an eye, he was back to being the warrior and I the servant.I sighed and pushed the thought aside, focusing on my duties instead.But just as I was about to enter the kitchen tent, I heard Zayne's voice behind me."Ava."I turned to see him standing a few feet away, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As Zayne walked to Mistress Elara's tent, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. The general's behavior had been strange of late, and Zayne's instincts told him that there was more to the general's request than met the eye.Zayne’s curiosity was piqued, and he made a mental note to keep an ear out for any rumors or gossip. He had a feeling that something big was brewing, and he wanted to be prepared.As he walked through the camp, he nodded to the warriors and servants he passed. They all looked up to him, and he was well-respected in the Panja village. But Zayne knew that his loyalty lay with the general, and he would do whatever it took to protect him.When he arrived at Mistress Elara's tent, he found her busy with her daily chores. She looked up as Zayne entered, a look of curiosity on her face. Is he in need of an entertainer, or perhaps he wants a recommendation?"Mistress Elara," Zayne greeted, stepping into the tent with his usual composed demeanor. "The g

The general's expression was unreadable, but Mistress Elara could sense his intensity. He was searching for something, but she wasn't sure what.He said finally, his voice low, "And what about her abilities? Has she shown any... unusual talents?"Mistress Elara's eyes widened slightly, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. What did the general know, and what was he looking for?"I'm not sure what you mean, General," she replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Ava is a skilled servant, but I'm not aware of any unusual talents she may possess."The general's eyes seemed to bore into her soul, as if he could see right through her. Mistress Elara felt a surge of fear, wondering if she had said too much or too little."I see," he said finally, his voice dripping with skepticism. "Well, Mistress Elara, I think that's all for now. You may go."Mistress Elara nodded, relieved to be dismissed. As she turned to leave, she hesitated for the briefest moment, debating whether she should say anyt

AVA'S POVI continued with my tasks, my hands moving quickly and efficiently as I scrubbed the pots and pans. Being a servant in the Panja community wasn't an easy one, but I would rather be a servant than an entertainer to the Panja warriors anytime. It helped me stay focused and invisible, and not completely broken.As I worked, my mind began to wander. I had noticed that I havent seen General Kaelen in a while, and I wondered if he was okay. Perhaps he had gone on a solo war, or maybe he was just busy with other matters. I also noticed that I haven't been assigned to him in the past few weeks, and my chores had doubled on a daily basis. I wondered the reason for this, but I wouldn't dare ask Mistress Elara for fear of being punished some more.Just as I was trying to take my mind off my thoughts and focus on my chores, I noticed Elsie standing behind the kitchen door, trying to get my attention. My heart skipped a beat as I felt a pang of guilt. Ever since General Kaelen had asked

As they spoke, the darkness seemed to close in around them, the shadows deepening into menacing silhouettes, the tension between them was palpable. Mistress Elara's eyes never left Rylan's face, her expression a mixture of fascination and fear. Mistress Elara knew that Rylan was a man on the edge, driven by his anger and his desire for power. And yet, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him, to the sense of danger and excitement that seemed to surround him like an aura."What are you going to do?" she asked, her voice barely audible.Rylan's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with a fierce intensity. "I'll take him down," he said. "I'll strip him of the power he thinks he has, and I'll make sure he regrets ever crossing me."Mistress Elara's eyes widened, her breath catching in her throat. She knew that Rylan was a force to be reckoned with, but she had never seen him like this before. His anger and determination were palpable, and she couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement at
The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 53
Rylan and Mistress Elara huddled together in the darkness, their voices barely above a whisper. The night air was heavy with tension, and Rylan's anger seemed to simmer just below the surface. It had been a few days since Mistress Elara had been visited by General Kaelen, and she was still reeling from the encounter."I really don't know exactly what's going on with the general and Ava," she said, her eyes gleaming with curiosity, while scanning the shadows nervously. "But I'm pretty sure there's something they're hiding."Rylan's expression darkened, his jaw clenched in frustration. "I've been trying to figure it out," he growled. "But every time I think I've got a handle on it, something new comes up."Mistress Elara's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities. "Tell me more," she said, her voice low and urgent. "What do you know?"Rylan's face twisted with anger, his jaw clenched in frustration. "I know exactly what's going on," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "The

Ava's POV As I sat under the shade of a tree, lost in the world of words, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. But suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching. I looked up to see Rylan standing over me, a sinister grin spreading across his face."Well, well, well," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "Look what we have here. All alone and vulnerable."My heart sank as I realized I was trapped. I haven't set my eyes on Rylan since the incident at the festival. This was the first, and I am all alone. I could tell from the expression on his face, he wasn't going to go easy on me. I felt trapped. I tried to stand up, but Rylan was too quick. He pinned me down, his hands rough and unforgiving."You're going to pay for what you did to me," he growled, his breath hot against my skin.I struggled to resist, but Rylan was too strong. Just as I thought all was lost, I heard a loud crash, followed by the sound of Rylan's pained grunt.I looked up to see General Kaelen standing over me, his eye
The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 51
As he entered the general's tent, Zylan was struck by the sight of the general sitting on his couch, staring intently at Ava as she hummed a melancholy tune with her lips while going about her duty. The general's eyes were lost in thought, and for a moment, Zylan wondered if he had ever seen him look so...vulnerable. But as the general caught sight of him, his expression snapped back into focus, and he rose from the couch to greet Zylan."Ah, Zylan," he said, his voice warm and friendly. "What brings you here today?"Zylan hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to broach the subject. But his concern for the general's well-being won out, and he plunged ahead."General, I wanted to speak with you about something," he said, his voice low and serious.Ava quickly stopped what she was doing and excused herself back to her tent till she was sent for again."I've noticed that you've been spending a lot of time with Ava lately, and I was wondering if everything is all right."The general's ex
The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 50
Zylan had been watching Ava for what felt like an eternity, his eyes tracking her every move as she navigated the complex web of intrigue within the castle. He had been tasked by the general to keep an eye on her, to gauge her loyalty and determine whether she was a potential threat or an asset to be exploited.But as the days turned into weeks, Zylan began to notice something strange. The general, who had always been a man of singular focus and purpose, seemed to be spending an inordinate amount of time with Ava. He would seek her out, lavishing attention on her and ignoring the other entertainers who had previously been his favorites.As a Panja warrior, Zylan knew that intimacy was a crucial component of their battle abilities. The presence of a woman in their bed was said to fuel their strength, to heighten their senses and sharpen their reflexes. But it had been almost two months since the general had last been with a woman, and Zylan couldn't help but wonder what was behind this

Ava’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out at first. She hesitated, her eyes flicking away for just a second before settling back on mine. "You ask too many questions," she murmured, a wry smile tugging at the corner of her lips. "You act as though you’re entitled to answers.""Maybe I am," I replied, my voice quiet but firm. "Or maybe I just want to understand the woman who haunts my thoughts even in the quietest hours."She raised an eyebrow. "You don’t even know me.""Not yet," I said, taking another step closer. "But I want to."Her expression shifted ever so slightly, as if warring with something deep inside her. Her hands curled into fists at her sides, then relaxed again. Her breath hitched—but only briefly—as if catching herself from slipping."You speak like a man who's used to getting his way," she said coolly, folding her arms. "And yet here you are, still asking, still unsure.""That's because you're not like anyone I’ve met before," I admitted. "You're not impress
The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 48
Kaelen's POV For a moment, we just stared at each other, the only sound the soft rustling of the fabric in the breeze. I felt like I was frozen in time, unable to move or speak. It was Ava who broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. "What are you doing here, General?" she asked, dropping a small book that she was reading before I interrupted.I took a step forward, my eyes never leaving hers. "I wanted to see you," I replied, my voice low and husky.Ava's expression didn't change, but I could sense a flicker of emotion behind her eyes. "May I ask why, General?" she asked, her voice still barely above a whisper.I took another step forward, my heart pounding in my chest. "Because I'm intrigued by you, Ava," I said, my voice filled with conviction. "You're different from the others, and I want to know more about you."Ava's gaze never wavered, but I could sense a hint of curiosity behind her eyes. "What do you want to know?" she asked, her voice still soft, but with
The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 47
General Kaelen’s POVI stepped out of my tent, the warm sun beating down on my skin as I made my way through the camp. The air was filled with the sounds of warriors and servants going about their daily business, but my focus was solely on finding Ava's hiding place. I had been thinking about her nonstop since our encounter earlier, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than met the eye.As I walked, I noticed that many eyes were on me, some showing their respect with a nod or a bow, while others tried to hide their gazes behind masks of indifference. I was used to being the center of attention, but today it felt different. Today, I felt like I was being watched for reasons beyond my position as General.I navigated through the camp, asking discreet questions and gathering information about Ava's whereabouts. Some of the servants and warriors seemed hesitant to talk, while others provided me with cryptic clues that only led to more questions.After what felt like
The Forbidden Gaze Chapter 46
General Kaelen's POV As Zylan left the tent, I couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility towards Ava. She was different from the others, and I wanted to know more about her.“What is it about her?” I muttered under my breath, staring at the fabric of the tent that still fluttered from his exit.She wasn’t just another face among the servants. She carried herself differently—like she didn’t belong in a place like this. There was something in her eyes. Fire. Stubbornness. Pride.“What kind of woman dares to look Rylan in the eye and say no?” I chuckled softly to myself, shaking my head in disbelief.I leaned back, resting my arms behind me as my mind wandered deeper into the memory of earlier today.“She didn’t even flinch,” I whispered, the corners of my lips twitching upward. “No fear. No hesitation. Just that sharp tongue and fierce gaze.”“She sure has some guts,” I said louder this time, as if speaking it out would help me make sense of the whirlwind inside me.Any other en
