All Chapters of Bonded to the ruthless General: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

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. Luckily I know all that already so I wouldn’t miss much. My mind drifts back to the general and I let out a sigh. It’s been two whole weeks and I haven’t seen him since then. Then why did he marry me? Why did he go through this trouble if he knew he wouldn’t commit? What was the need of getting married to me? It’s not like I have anythin

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. Cahir doesn’t even let me say anything and pulls me away from the battlefield. Bastian tries to stop him but he on the other hand is wounded so there is only little he can do before Cahir drags me off. He didn’t stop until we get to the front of his fort and that’s where I manage to snap my hand out of his. “What do you think you are doing?” I ask him. “Who told you that you could come out of the fort?” “Its none of your business, general” I snap and he clenches his jaw together. “You can’t just tell me to do something and I will do it, I am not your slave” “As long as you are married to me, you will do as I have said” hr half yells, “do you understand that” “And on what basis are you calling me your wife?” A slight pain from my shoulder makes me wince in frustration. “You can not call me your wife when we do not have any relationship, general. You never gave me a reason why you got married to me in the first place. I did not come here for you, I came h

CAHIR’s POV. Standing on top of the armory, my gaze is on the frail Adele training so hard In the courtyard. It is already past bedtime but she is the stubborn one, still training despite everything that has happened. Four days ago, I arrested Bastian because of her and she actually had the guts to come and meet me, demanding to have him released. She has got guts, I must say. “You are still here?” A voice asks behind me and I turn to see Xena walking towards me, her gaze on Adele, “it seems you can not leave your wife alone even for a moment, general” “Why? Are you waiting for me to leave so you can end her?” I ask and she chuckles lightly. “Killing her is much more easier than eating, Cahir and you know that” “You know you wouldn’t dare” “Why are you so hellbent on protecting her though?” She asked me after a while, “you haven’t told me the overall truth as to why you decided to marry someone who can’t even wield a sword? You are not one to do something without gettin

BASTIAN’s POV. Seeing her walk away, I let out a heavy sigh. I didn’t expect her to react that way but I have known for the longest time that she has feelings for me. Adeline doesn’t bother to hide the way she drools over me so why didn’t she accept me? It can only be one thing, because of Cahir. I am going to make sure I keep her safe from a maniac like him, I will protect her from him no matter what. Looking back at her retreating figure, I can’t help but smile. Adeline, as I fondly call her, is the most hardworking girl I know, she makes sure nothing stops her right from when we were kids and up till now, she still has that spirit. I hear a rustling sound behind me and I turn around to see Xena perching on a branch of a tree, her attention on me and she looks amused. “Shouldn’t you be in the dining room, cadet?” She asks me, jumping down from the tree. “Are you following me?” She scoffs, pulling her hair into a messy bun, “I can get you punished for ditching your meal bu
