The Prince and His Princess
In a kingdom where alliances are sealed in blood and power is never freely given, Delila Alden never imagined her life would collide with royalty. When she crosses paths with Tobias Rostov, the crown prince of Aruyios, their meeting sets off a chain of events neither of them can control.
Lila is stubborn, fiery, and determined to survive the weight of her past. Tobias is disciplined, noble, and bound by duty to his kingdom. What begins as an impossible bond soon grows into something undeniable, a connection that defies the laws of their world.
But the path to love is never simple for a prince and his chosen girl. From dangerous rivalries to ancient traditions, every step they take together threatens to tear them apart. Secrets rise, loyalties are tested, and enemies circle closer. Lila must grow into her strength, discovering power she never knew she had, while Tobias struggles to balance his love for her against the future of his crown.
As war looms and betrayal strikes from within, the couple must decide how far they will go to protect each other and the kingdom they are destined to rule.
A story of passion, sacrifice, and destiny where a girl becomes a princess, and a prince learns that love can be the fiercest weapon of all.

Chapter: Henry’s OriginLila's POVIt was cold. So cold it burned.I spun slowly in the darkness, heart hammering. The woods stretched around me, eerie and endless, just like before.“Tobi?” I cried, my voice cracking. “Tobi!”A soft brush against my shoulder made me whirl. His hand slid down my arm, leaving a trail of tingling heat. I turned and threw myself into his arms without thinking."Why are you back here, Lila?" Tobi asked, lifting my chin until our eyes locked."I don’t know how I got here again," I whispered. "Where are we?"He smiled faintly, pressing his forehead to mine. "We’re in my dream. I think... but it looks like the woods behind the Witches Hat."My heart twisted. "What are you doing out here?""It's somewhere I can shift without being seen," he murmured, his voice low against my ear, sending delightful shivers racing down my spine."Shift?" I echoed, confused. "What do you mean shift?""Let me show you," he said, stepping back.I watched, wide-eyed, as he stripped down to nothing but hi

Chapter: The Bounty HunterLila's POVTobi stood at the front of the hostel holding a brown paper bag so full it looked ready to split at the seams.“I wasn’t sure if you’d had time to eat,” he said. “Thought I’d bring you something.”I blinked. “What is it?”“Couldn’t get Korean, but there’s a noodle place in town. I got… stuff. Chicken, beef, veggies, a few sides. You free for five?”“Technically I should stay close to the desk,” I said, flipping the little Back in Five sign and walking to one of the nearby bistro tables.Tobi followed, setting the bag down and unpacking containers like a picnic.“Wow, very descriptive,” I teased as he listed them by vague food group.He handed me a pair of chopsticks. I reached for one of the veggie dishes, the scent making my mouth water.As I took my first bite, I sighed in delight. “This is amazing.”“You’re not eating?” I asked after a moment, noticing his gaze fixed on me.He blinked, grabbed the beef noodles, and fumbled with his chopsticks. One noodle made it to his m

Chapter: VisitationsLila's POVI sat up abruptly, disoriented and tangled in my sheets. The blaring noise wasn’t a wolf howling or a whisper in the trees it was the alarm on my phone.Right. Just a dream.I shut it off with a groan and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. My room was filled with soft morning light streaming through the rounded windows. Despite the chill in the air, I still felt too warm like his touch was still on my skin.Standing under the hot water in the shower, I tried to shake the dream from my head. The way he’d kissed my throat, the weight of his bare body against mine, his voice whispering, Once I have you, I’ll never let you go…I pressed my forehead against the tiled wall and exhaled. I didn’t want to admit it, but I’d wanted every second of that dream.Tobi's POVThe apartment my parents kept in Lenweil was small barely a kitchen, a couch, and a bed. Enough to get by, but no comfort.I sat on the couch, head in my hands, replaying the image of Lila stepping from the steam,

Chapter: DreamsLila's POVMoira and I spent the next few hours behind the reception desk, going through everything I needed to learn. At first, I just observed watching her click through the online booking system, answer calls, hand out maps and keys with that effortlessly warm charisma of hers. But she quickly got me answering questions, taking notes, and navigating the screen myself.By the time the sun began to set behind the forest, I was checking in guests on my own, answering basic questions, even pretending I knew more than I did thankfully, everything else could be Googled.“Well, look at that,” Moira said proudly, patting me on the back. “Natural-born receptionist.”“Thanks, Moira.”“I was thinking we could put you on the 2 PM to 10 PM shift most days sound good?”“Perfect,” I replied. The idea of having structure, somewhere to be, purpose, was exactly what I needed.“If you ever want a night off, just let me know. We can always close the desk early.”I nodded, touched by her flexibility.S

Chapter: The Witches HatLila's POVAunt Moira was unlike anyone I had ever met. She was short, but you hardly noticed—everything else about her was larger than life. Her long grey hair fell in tight ringlets to the middle of her back, her fingers were tipped in chipped black nail polish, and she wore layers of dramatic fabrics velvets, silks, and beaded necklaces that clicked when she moved. Silver rings adorned nearly every finger, and matching earrings danced from her lobes.She matched the mystery of the house perfectly.“I hope you’re strong, Lila,” she said, smiling mischievously as we stopped in front of a rickety spiral staircase. The mint green paint was peeling, revealing rusted metal beneath. “I saved the best room for you we call it the Watchtower. Best view in the house. Only one way in or out, though.”She gave me an apologetic shrug, but her eyes sparkled with pride.“I’ll be fine, Aunt Moira,” I said, already dragging my suitcase toward the first step. “Do you mind if I head up there now?”“No

Chapter: Lenweil Lila’s POVI woke up as the wheels bumped against the runway, but I didn’t move. I kept my eyes closed, letting my head stay nestled against Tobi’s shoulder, warm and steady beneath me. I didn’t want the feeling to end. I could’ve sworn I felt him shift and press a featherlight kiss to the top of my head. I smiled just a little at the idea. Even if I’d imagined it, I didn’t care. I wanted it to be true.“Hey, Lila… wake up. We’ve landed,” Tobi whispered, his breath brushing against my ear. Then, impossibly gently, he stroked his fingers along my cheek.A warm shiver spread down my spine. Get a grip, I scolded myself silently.“Sorry I slept on you,” I mumbled, stretching my arms and arching my back.“Anytime, beautiful,” he said, grinning. He winked at me like it was no big deal, like flirting came as naturally to him as breathing.My cheeks flushed instantly, and I dropped my gaze, suddenly shy. He stood first, easily retrieving both of our bags from the overhead locker and handing m
