"I am not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of us will never be perfect. But if i can make you laugh at least once, cause you to think twice, and if i admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto me and give me the most you can. I am not going to quote poetry, I am not thinking about you every moment, but I will give you a part of me that i know you could break. Don't hurt me, don't change me, and don't expect for more than i can give. Don't analyze. Smile when i make you happy, yell when i make you mad, and miss me when I am not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you” As I held the letter in hand, a single tear fell off my face and I clench my jaw together, I will be doomed if I let him go without a fight.
View MoreADELE’s POV.After having a chat with Bastian, I finally make my way back to the fort. For the last four days, I developed a kind of sickness and it felt like I was going to die but Cahir didn’t let me out of the fort nor did he let me out of bed. For four days, he kept watch over me and I watched him infuse magic powers into me everyday to make sure I was fine. I even slipped into a coma on one of those days and I met my father in my dream. He told me I had a lot to do and I can’t die now. I asked him about my sealed energy and he told me it was fine to find out on my own and it was locked for a reason. He told me how much he loved me and how sorry he was that I have to go through all of this and he said nothing more. I kept asking him questions but I only watched him fade and fade into oblivion leaving me standing in the middle of nowhere.The last four days have been hectic and I actually thought I was going to die even though Cahir was with me. He didn’t stop being a jackass but
BASTIAN’s POV,I pull her into my embrace right on time or this bastard would have hurt her. Wasn’t he even scared to attack her when she was with me? He is tired of living?My sword is buried deep into his chest and blood is pouring out of his mouth, this is when Adele slowly pull away from me and seeing James hanging on my sword, she lets out a gasp.“He wanted to attack you,” I tell her.“Do you think this is enough to stop me?” James asks, a mocking smirk on his lips.“What exactly do you want from me, James?” Adele inquires, “you were the same person who said foul things about my father and I will not take that. Haven’t you been hurt enough?”“I won’t rest until I kill you” he spits out in anger before he pushes the sword out of his body. Turning around, we watch him walk away much to my amazement. He doesn’t look hurt from the injury. This is my cue to keep Adele from him, he is a fucking psychopath.“Are you okay?” I ask her and she nods.“I am fine”“Good, we need to get out o
ADELE’s POV.“Today we are going to be finding out clues about our enemies in the bushes. If your group fails to come back without any clues, you will be locked away in the dungeon for a week and if your group finds any clues, you are safe” xena’s voice resonates round the entire assembly ground.My eyes dart across everyone and they look ready except for me. I haven’t spoken to my best friend in a week, like he has been purposely avoiding me. I see him talking to Caroline more often and they seem to be getting close while Cahir is nowhere to be found. He disappears and appears when he deems fit. It’s none of my business though and I certainly do not feel like seeing him after the stunt he pulled earlier.“Meet with your group supervisors and you can set off” Xena says again and we all break up, clustering around in our small numbers and groups. My eyes open wide when I see James walking towards our group. Why is he coming here? I thought he had his own group.“It seems like he is the
CAHIR’s POV.The moment she steps into her room, I grab her and pin her against the wall, my gaze darkening and my whole body tenses up.Just one silly thing from her is enough to get me upset. What kind of power does she have over me for godsake? Seeing the way Bastian jumped into to save her got me really upset. She wasn’t in danger to begin with even if she was, the rune would have saved her but she chose to just be foolish.“You are hurting me, general” she manages to say but I don’t loosen my grip on her, I am too upset to even do it. “Were you in danger?” I ask her.“Bastain didn’t believe that”“Were you in danger?” I ask her again.“No”“Good, stay away from him”“What?” Despite the pain radiating through her body, a huge frown appears on her forehead, “what are you talking about?”“If you want to reach your full potential, you have to stay away from him” I bark out, “do you understand what I am saying to you?”“He is my best friend”“I don’t care”I finally let go of her, “yo
ADELE’s POV.I continue watching them circle the sky until the four of them land in front of me and I almost lose my footing because of the intensity of their presence but Bastain is fast enough to catch me.“Are you okay?” He asks and I nod.“I am fine,” I tell him.Some other soldiers have already gathered and they all look in awe of the dragons.There is a black dragon, a blue dragon, a black and a red dragon and they all look fierce and dangerous. If I am an ordinary person, I would have run away but how can I? I have so much to learn about them, I have to find out if my father actually did something to warrant his death from them.I start to slowly walk towards them but Bastain grabs a hold of my hand.“You can not go near that thing, Adeline” he tells me, “they look dangerous and they could harm you”My mind drifts off to Cahir’s protection rune and I shake my head in the negative.“I will be fine,” I tell Bastain. I don’t know why I trust Cahir’s rune to protect me when I know
ADELE’s POV.Sweat is dripping down my face as Zara and I engage in a heated fist fight. She is extremely good with her fists and I am glad she chose to teach me.This is two days after the encounter with Cahir and I have finally come to terms with the fact that he is the general and I am just an aspiring soldier. The two of us are opposites and we can never attract.“Cadets” xerxes’s voice cut through the intensity of our fight and we stop, alongside the others.“That’s all for today, you can retire now” he says again and everyone starts to mumble to themselves. Right now, the energy is radiating through my body and I just want to keep fighting.“Cadet Woods” he calls to Zara, “come with me”“Ugh!!!” I groan lightly, there goes the intensity of our fight.“Let's catch up later” Zara whispers to me before walking off.There is a stone bench around so I lower myself on it while I go ahead to remove my leather gloves. I have sensitive skin and the littlest bruise can show so much on my
CAHIR’s POV.The moment I walk out of the room, I slump against the wall and close my eyes. I shouldn’t have kissed her because that actually gave her the wrong impression like something can happen between us.To me, she is only here because of that mark on her neck and a good number of people died for her cause, people like my mother. The only thing I feel for her is hatred and nothing more. Once I no longer need her, I will be the one to put a dagger through her head.“Where are you?” I ask Ivar.“Waiting for your order, general,” he answers.“We leave at once”I start making my way down the large stairs. I was in Drakesworth when I noticed she was in danger and I had to come see for myself. That girl puts me in a constant state of worry for her.Ivar is already waiting in front of the gates but seeing the look on his face, i know he has a whole lot to say and I am genuinely not ready to hear it. He never misses a chance to taunt me.“You sure took your time, didn’t you, general?”“
ADELE’s POV.Groaning lightly, I gently slump on the bed and close my eyes. My shoulder got injured again and I had to get a cast on it. I didn’t go back to the training hall again because the supervisor told me to get some rest.Now here I am lying down on my bed in the fort with my aching shoulders and my mind wandering around. I am still pissed at Bastian for hiding things from me but I can’t totally blame him. I also hid the fact that I was married to Cahir from him too but even though he is hiding way too many things than I can even imagine. How did he know what James’s rune was for? I have seen his body and I haven’t seen any rune on him before.My thoughts are interrupted when a knock resonates on my door and a female soldier saunters in.“Someone is here to see you, she is waiting by the gate”“Okay”I jump out of bed and grab a tacky shirt from the hanger before making my way out. whoever it is better come bearing good news because right now, I am not even in the mood to jok
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 but that wo
ADELE’s POV.“You can not do this!!” My mother yells as she drags my backpack which makes me halt, the floor screeching underneath me.I turn around to look at her and tears well up in her eyes.“This is my calling, mum” I tell her, “the boarders need more people to guard it”“You are a woman and you have no business with the borders, Adele” Mother says and my shoulders sag. This is the same thing she has been saying since father died eight years ago and she hasn’t made my life any easier.Being born in Drakeworth sure came with its perks as I can wield small magics and also be very good with my daggers but that’s all. Mum never allowed me out of the walls where I can get the opportunity to learn other things. I am probably the last on the list of the failures of Drakeworth and now that I have decided to take my life in my hands, she still wants to stop me. “I am twenty and five years old and you have never allowed me outside the walls of Drakeworth, what exactly are you so scared of...
