Collared by the King
Princess Seraphine was raised to rule — now she lives collared as the King’s Slave.
Taken by Draven, the merciless king of Korvath, Seraphine becomes the living symbol of vengeance for the crimes of her father. In a palace built on scars and blood, she must survive cruelty, humiliation, and enemies who want her broken or dead.
Draven is no savior. Once a slave himself, he rules with iron control, haunted by what was done to him — including a secret wound inflicted by Seraphine’s father that ensured he could never father a child. Love has no place in his plans, especially not for the daughter of his enemy.
But the palace hides dangerous truths.
Maela, the king’s oldest maid, watches in silence while her daughter Renya — damaged beyond speech by the former king’s cruelty — carries fragments of a prophecy that could change everything. Briella, Seraphine’s former maid, knows a secret about the princess that neither Draven nor Korvath knows — a truth that could shatter hatred or ignite war anew.
As desire turns into obsession and vengeance blurs into something far more dangerous, Seraphine finds herself falling for the very man who owns her — while those closest to the king plot her death.
In a kingdom where power is taken, bodies are used, and love is forbidden, survival may demand a price greater than chains.

Chapter: CHAPTER 29"There are rumors that the King punished the wicked mistress Lysera for whipping you," Briella whispered.That was shocking. The most shocking she's heard. "What?"Briella pulled back and continued in a whisper. "There's a rumor that the king placed her under house arrest for three noondays."A thrill of pleasure shot through Seraphine's body at the knowledge. She must be a bad person for being happy but she couldn't help it.Three days without having to see Mistress Lysera are days to look ahead to, even though her back hurts and she still has to work, she's still happy."I was so happy when I heard it, my princess! I'm really happy about it," Briella enthused excitedly."I'm happy to hear it too, Briella," Seraphine finally admitted.Seraphine just finished taking her bath, getting ready to go to the mines. Her body really hurts badly and she'll give anything not to have to work today.But then again, she doesn't want to allow herself to dwell on things she can't change. Briella ha

Chapter: CHAPTER 29When King Draven spoke, his words were curt and straight to the point."Make sure she doesn't work for so many days to come, Maela. Send out orders to the maids, slaves, servants, and slave trainers both in the palace and in the mine sites, that all of them should stay out of her way. If I find out she worked, the person responsible will be punished.""Yes, my king." Maela wasn't really surprised. It's just like the night he'd visited the girl in her bedroom. He'd given orders just like this...only lesser."That girl Briella," he paused, "these orders extend to her too. At least for today.""I understand, My King."Just like that day, he pinned her with a glare. "I don't need feedback, Maela. I don't care. Make sure you don't bring them.""Of course, My Lord."He nodded once. "You're dismissed."Seraphine did her best to remember the events of last night clearly as she walked to her room, but it was all blurry conversation.She was really curious about them and she doesn't know why.

Chapter: CHAPTER 27That was the day he vowed that he'll have the princess as his slave one day."Oh...Colder..." She sounded sad and sleepy. Her voice dragged him out of the bitter memory."Are you cold?" He groaned in a hard voice."Your eyes they got colder..." She swallowed, "...filled with so much hate."He can't bear to stare at her face for long because no matter how he tries....he must still see her. King Zorvath's daughter. "I hate you, Seraphine."Her lips twitched and she blinked ever so slowly. "I know....My King."He looked away.She placed a hand on his chest. "There are scars here too... Internal scars. Here they seem bigger there...in your heart.""They are.""Can they ever heal?""No.""That's sad."He laid her back on the bed and pulled away. He got up. "Go back to sleep." he said curtly, "You'll be fine on the morrow."Through her dazed eyes, she watched him leave.She watched him walk like a panther as he went to the table and dropped the water back. A huge wounded panther.She watche

Chapter: CHAPTER 26When she was done, Draven withdrew the cup and tried to get up but she clung to him, her dazed eyes staring at his. "So cold..""You're cold?" He asked with a furrowed brow, knowing that the room is not cold at all."Your eyes...they're so cold..." She whispered.Draven said nothing, knowing that the woman isn't herself. She was heavily induced on pills and potions, and they have side effects.He knows that she won't remember any of these in the morning. And so, he just stared at her.It's the first time he allowed himself to stare at her so up close. The first time he allowed himself to really look at her.To see Seraphine...not __King ZorvathDaughter.She's beautiful. The knowledge went to his cold heart and whispered on it. Beautiful and so pure-looking.Like a woman who never saw the rough side of their world. Like a princess.She has a bow mouth, sharply pointed nose that took in sharp breaths, and deep blue eyes that stared up at him in a daze. Her beauty rivaled many.For the

Chapter: CHAPTER 25Maela finished mixing the concoction and forced it down Seraphine's throat. She was still unconscious and the concoction was to make her sleep well.Ravik was already waiting by the door when she was done. She nodded her head, signaling that he could take her now.He bent down and lifted Seraphine up the same way he carried her into her room. Her midriff on his shoulder, her back in the air.When he got to Draven's room, he was sitting down behind his desk, writing. He didn't look up when they entered."Make a bed for her down there." He pointed to his own bed."Already on it, my king." Maela replied.Within minutes, she and Briella had another high big bed on the floor, beside the king's bed. They spread a fresh new bedsheet on it and built a tent around it.Ravik laid her face down on it and gently turned her head to the side. They watched her even breathing for a few seconds before they turned away.Briella was so uncomfortable with this development. The king hates the princess and

Chapter: CHAPTER 24Long minutes dragged by. Maela finished mixing her herbs, and she began carefully applying them to Seraphine’s wounds.Briella helped her, squeezing out water from each scoop of the wet, ground leaves, and then pressing the healing mixture gently onto the princess’s injuries.Briella felt a measure of relief that Seraphine was unconscious. The pain she had endured today was unimaginable, and her princess had already suffered far too much.Draven still leaned silently against the door, even though he had long sent Ravik away. He hadn’t spoken a word, only taking in every detail with those sharp, unreadable eyes.Finally, Maela spoke. "All done."Briella let out a long, shaky sigh as she looked over the treated wounds. Tears filled her eyes again at the sight of her princess’s back—a chaotic map of green leaves and healing herbs.Maela turned to the king. "I’ll give her some concoctions to help her sleep deeply and fully. She needs all the rest she can get, and these herbs won’t counter
