She is the Royal queen. He is the chieftain of barbarians. Guess who rejected who. He left her on her knees, heartbroken. She begged, she cried, she howled for him to come back but she also rose. Despite a broken heart, she rose to become the fearless queen she was. 7 years have passed and the queen of Avalon is admired widely for her beauty, strength, and intelligence. What nobody knew is that their queen was harboring a secret void- a heart untouched by love. She makes the ruling look easy with her practiced elegant smile. But it is not, especially when there is an army of vampires rampaging through the nations, killing werewolves for power. Now they had set their eyes on Avalon. As the horde of vampires threatened her land, she faces a daunting choice- form an alliance with the most feared clan to defeat bloodsuckers- the unconquerable Barbarians, or watch her realm crumble. The barbarian chieftain- a force of raw power and dominance- agrees to help but on one condition. He wants an heir from his mate in return.

He was tired of living in the fear of losing her to him. Her fondness for him had become a thorn in his side.“Stop it. You will kill him,” Rosalie screamed at him but he didn’t stop.“He touched you. He fucking touched you,” Ryker snarled like a maniac and continued to beat him with more force. “If you don’t stop now, Ryker, I swear I will leave this moment and never come back,” she warned him and his fist halted in mid-air. His red eyes lifted to meet her teary ones. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she stared at him. There was pain, anger, and loathing behind her icy stare. “Get off him. Now,” she commanded in a coaxing tone. She couldn’t have him exploding again. His face was flushed red and his tight bun had loosened, causing some locks to scatter across his face. “Get off him, Ryker,” she stated again. H
Ryker was advised to stay in bed until his wound was completely healed. His room had become the meeting spot where all the important discussions were done.Clovis, Adgar, and he were discussing something when a burst of laughter interrupted their meeting. “But he is handsome no doubt,” Sera teased. “And stronger too,” Istas quipped. “You two really need to stop. There is nothing like that,” came Rosalie’s voice. “Are we talking about the boy with curly hair?” Helena piped in. “Yes, Metree. Antonious is his name,” Ryker frowned at the mention of his name. “Antonious and Rosalie, two beautiful names bound forever,” Sera sighed dreamily. Istas broke into giggles. Rage flowed through him like hot lava. His features screwed up in fury and his fists tightened. “Hadar..”“Get out,” Ryker gritted out through his clenched jaw while glaring fixedly at the sheet. He was smoking with jealousy. Clovis exchanged a confused glance with Adgar before getting up from the chair. He knew better
Clovis and Adgar had come to visit him. They filled him in on everything that needed his attention. Ghayna had sent a shipload of weapons in gratitude. The minister of Hulu had visited to forge an alliance. He had offered his daughter for marriage. Ryker snorted. Rosalie chose the exact moment to enter the room. She quietly made her way towards teh chair in the corner. Ryker’s gaze flitted towards her before he fixed his eye on Clovis. “What did he say?” he queried, suddenly showing interest in the topic. “He offered for you to marry his only daughter,” Clovis responded, a little confused by his sudden interest. “But I am no prince. Can that princess live with a barbarian?” he spoke loudly for her ear and spied a glance at her to see her reaction. She looked composed as she crushed the herbs to make the concoction. “He didn’t seem to care about his daughter’s comfort. He just wants our protection during the war,” Clovis enlightened him, now slowly realizing his intention. “As
Ryker woke up feeling a heavy weight on his head. The first thing he noticed was the wooden ceiling of his room. He stared blankly at it for a few seconds before turning his head to the side and finding her sleeping in the chair. She had squeezed herself in the chair with her feet up. Her hair hid most part of her face but he knew it was her.His brows creased in confusion a moment later. What is she doing here? He moved and the bed creaked loudly, interrupting her slumber. Her eyes snapped open. “You are awake,” Rosalie looked at him with her round groggy eyes. Instead of responding with words, he studied her appearance in silence. The vividness of her blue eyes had dimmed due to exhaustion. He also noticed dark circles under her eyes. She appeared distraught. He was tempted to ask her what was she doing here but felt weak to utter a word. Without a warning, she leaned forward only to gasp. Her hand shot up to cradle her neck. Her muscles had grown stiff due to lying in a comprom
As soon as he was placed in his bed, the healer rushed in and started tending to him. Helena sat beside the healer. Everyone was there except for Riva and Antonius. But Rosalie was too depressed to take note of that. She stood by the door and watched the healer applying herbs to his wound, a tempest of sorrow raging within her. Riyaga was restless. Everyone was frantic with anxiety.“Feed this potion to him three times a day after each meal. Keep changing the cloth around his wound and always check his temperature,” the healer told Helena. Rosalie stood there, listening.As time passed by, people started disappearing. Riva showed up when almost everyone was gone. “Is he fine now?” Riva asked Clovis as she entered his house. Clovis sized her up in mild irritation before giving her a curt nod. “Thank Goddess. Where is he? I want to see him,” Riva asked, suddenly her face morphed into one of concern. Clovis turned and without saying a word started walking towards his room. Riva follow
“You..” he took a pause and looked over at her. “Cooked it for me?” there was a tinge of disbelief in his voice. She licked her lips before looking into his eyes. “Helena asked me to…So… I was awake anyway. I thought of utilizing my time,” she shrugged to fake nonchalance when in reality she was just a bundle of nerves. “Ohhh,” he looked down at the floor. “Yes,” she stated before starting towards the table to hide her flushed cheeks. “You didn’t have to,” he stated, just to be polite. She tamped down the irritations she felt. “I couldn’t say no to her,” she answered without looking his way while loading his plate. “I wouldn’t have told her,” he slipped into a chair. She paused and looked up at him, irritated. “Why my cooking has upset you this much? Is my food not to your liking? Do you not want me to cook for you? If that’s the case then it's completely right. You don’t have to eat my food. Nobody is forcing you,” she bit out angrily and started putting the food back in th
Did last night really happen? Did he really turn into a monster and did she really go to him? What was she thinking? It all had felt like a dream to Rosalie. Her self-control had never slipped before nor had she ever walked blindly on a dangerous path. Heaving a sigh, she sat up and pushed her locks behind her shoulders, exposing her torn sleeve. She looked at it and couldn’t deny the last night anymore. A knock was heard on her door. She climbed down from her bed and went to the door to open it. It was Ryker. His top lip was pulled to one side as he stared down at her. He was miffed. Without waiting for her permission, he walked into her room. “Close the door,” he stated without looking her way. She closed the door and turned around. He was already looking at her, looking thoroughly displeased about something. “Why did you come there last night?” he stalked towards her with narrowed eyes. “ I was…..curious,” she answered, holding his cold gaze. “Curious?” her answer stoked his
"You betrayed me," Lana ground out, her eyes burning with vengeance. "She is innocent," Ryker met her furious gaze with an unwavering stare, his response stern and fearless.The corner of her mouth twitched before she burst into a chilling, maniacal laugh. Ryker stood his ground and watched her intently as she swept around the hall. She quieted down just as suddenly, her gaze snapping back to him. His heart suffered a mild jolt as he met his eyes- now an eerie black. The white of her eyes had turned a darkest shade of black. "A barbarian defending a royal princess. Interesting. Let me guess..." she remarked while approaching him. Her evil smile sent a wave of unease through him. She stopped a step short of him and looked him in the eye, " You love her." His silence was enough of an answer. She broke into another fit of laughter, this one even more deranged than the previous. He clenched his fists tight."You can protect her all you want. But mark my words, barbarian, that bitch wil
She lifted her arm and the beast-- like an obedient puppy-- lowered his head and rested his scary face in her palm. His gaze remained fixed on her as he nuzzled into her palm. She gently rubbed her thumb against his skin, prompting a pur from him. He basked in her touch. Craving for more, he pushed his face into her neck. His breathing was harsh and scorching. Rosalie stilled when she felt the rough surface of his tongue licking up the side of her neck. She, unconsciously, tilted her head back. The tingles washed over her like a tidal wave and she couldn't help but sigh. He was still him. He purred in satisfaction and started greedily slobbering all over her neck. The beast’s excitement ramped up to a new level and he tore her sleeve with his canine in greed to have more of her. This broke her away from her trance. “No,” Rosalie shrieked in horror. The beast didn’t stop. Fear pulsed through her and she backed many steps away. The beast stared at her in confusion before his face twi
