ADELE’s POV.

I didn’t expect Bastian to take it lightly but I didn’t expect him to look me in the eyes and say such horrible things to me. He said things that he would never say and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t shake those words out of my head. He was mean to me, he said horrible things to me and I will make him remember that for as long as he is alive.

“Cadet” a voice calls behind me and I raise my head to see one of the palace soldiers.

“Yes”

“The Queen will be ready to leave in a few minutes, you should get ready to escort her.

“Okay, I am already ready though”

“You should get her chariot out”

“Sure”

After getting the chariot out, I wait by it and after a while, I see her coming towards me with Bastian beside her. They are both saying something and laughing about it. My heart cramps but I shake it off, it is actually none of my business.

“Your majesty” I bow to her but she ignores me and turns to Bastian.

“Please, ride with me”

“Of course not, your majesty” he says, “I wi

    ADELE’s POV.We stay like that for a while, my head on his shoulder as the chirping of birds continues around us. I don’t even know how I got to this part of the forest but it looks so calm, I could stay here forever and not get tired of it. But something immediately clicks in my head and I immediately pull away from him. A look of surprise appears on Bastian’s face.“Stay away from him” Cahir’s voice rings in my ear as he slammed into me with reckless abandon. He made it clear that he didn’t want me hanging around with Bastian and even fucked me to tears so I wouldn’t forget that.My face flush, how did we get here? How did..“Are you okay?” His voice cuts through me again, concern written on his face, “tell me, did something happen to you?”I abruptly stand up, dusting the back of my pants.“I am fine,” I manage to tell him, “but we should probably go now. It’s getting late”“Why? We can stay here as long as we want, no one will say anything. Rest assured”“Well” I fold my hands ac

    CAHIR’s POV.Before he can touch her with those filthy hands, I grab it and shove it off. I came to Drakesworth a while ago and the palace guards told me she left with another cadet but they didn’t know where she went. I didn’t want to pry but then again, I wanted to make sure she was fine so I decided to connect to her mind and luckily I found her. Imagine if I was a minute late, this bastard would have touched her with his scrawny looking hands. The urge to grab those hands and break them into tiny little pieces envelops me but I ignore it, turning my attention to the woman whose gaze has not left me since she saw me.“Are you okay?” I ask her, “did that bastard touch you?”“I..I am..I am fine” she finally manages to get the words out of her mouth, “how did you know I was here though?”I glance at the lady who is seated opposite us and she lets out an awkward laugh.“I think I will just go now” she says, abruptly standing up, “I will pay and..“Not to worry” I cut her off, “I will h

    ADELE’s POV.I don’t stop walking until we reach a secluded place and this is when I come to an abrupt halt, anger radiating through me. How can Bryer even say something like that? How can she look me in the face and say something so utterly demeaning and disrespectful towards me. Me? I caused our fathers death? How the heck did she even find that out? I never told anyone, I didn’t even tell her so how did she even find out?.I rake my fingers through my hair in frustration, I hate that she gets to me every single time. Since my father died, I have tried to always be there for her and our mother but none of them have ever thought of being there for me. No matter what happens, I am always the unfilial child, the one who has to accept anything anyone tells me.I let out a heavy sigh as a familiar figure comes to stand beside me. He hasn’t said anything since we left the tavern and for the love of the gods, I hope he doesn’t start now. I am genuinely not in the mood to listen to him spea

I know Adele can take care of herself but I just can’t rest assured when she isn’t close to me. A lot of people want her dead and I want to keep her safe, even from myself.Letting out a sigh, I make my way out of the room but I come across Imogene and another cadet. From the look on both faces, it seems something is definitely wrong somewhere.“What’s going on?” I ask them, “why do the two of you look like this?”“Adele was arrested” Imogene blurts out, “the queen took her at the gate”“Why? What happened?”“We do not know, she just took her”I ball my hands into a fist, Desdemona!! How dare she? We talked about this, how dare she still try to harm Adele when I have warned her time without number.Without saying anything, I hasten down the hallway to her room. I don’t bother to knock and jus

    ADELE’s POV.I don’t know for how long I have been in this dungeon because it is completely sealed off from the outside world. I have a feeling that this is the dungeon meant for murderers and the high criminals of Drakesworth. Keeping me here meant one thing, she is going all out. She wants to show me that she is the queen and I can not run from her even if I want to.My thoughts are interrupted when the dungeon door opens up and I look up to see her, a sleazy smile lingering on her face.“My lady” I force myself to bow when the only thing I want to do at this point is stab her hard with one of my daggers and make sure she never survives it.“The hunter has become the hunted” her voice is laced with mockery and sarcasm, “look at you, just one day and you are a shadow of your former select cadet. You really shouldn’t have gone behind me to do what you did, cadet”“And what exactly did I do?” My anger takes over me, “you just asked your soldiers to have me arrested and you kept me here

He will hunt her down and make sure she pays for even things she has not done.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath.“You see that?” Desdemona says behind me, “that is the same person you want to keep by yourself? Did you see that? She left with the dragon, she is a criminal and you father will not let her live even if you try”“Just shut up, Desdemona!!” I half yell, “I do not need you to tell me anything now!”“What happened?” Bastian asks as he rushes into the dungeon, “Adele?”I came the moment his message got to me.

    BASTIAN’s POV.Maybe I shouldn’t have said that out of the blue because now my old man is looking at me in a way I can’t quite fathom. I have never called him father before but calling him father today made the look in his eyes flutter. Was he happy that I called him father? Did he want me to call him that? Did he want me to see him as my father?Even after Cahir had left, the two of us continued to stand there looking at each other. I also want to leave, I also want to go and search for her but for the first time, I want Cahir to take the lead. I know he will find her, he will try to find her no matter what. I have given him the push that he needs and I hope he doesn’t make me regret it.“Leave us” king Taurus orders his guards and they immediately back away giving us more room. At this point, I want to run away and hide. I don’t like the look on his face like we owe each other anything. As far as anything is concerned, I do not have anything to do with this man.“I think i should g

It feels like giants can go through it but as she continues to fly through the huge courtyard, I start to see other dragons.After a while, heartfyre ducks for the ground and I slide off her back. As soon as my feet touch the ground, a feeling of familiarity envelopes it. It feels like I have been here before, it feels like I know every nook and cranny of this place but I am sure I have never been here before, I have never even heard of it.“Where are we?” I ask her.“Welcome to your land of dragons, cadet” she responds and a feeling of confusion settles within me. My land of dragons? How is that even possible? I thought the only dragons that existed were the ones in Drakeworth. How come there is a land of dragons which I have never heard about?“How is this even possible?”“Welcome back, my lady” a voice says behind me and I abruptly turn around to see a man.

Leaning closer, I pull her naked body into my arms and press a kiss on her bare shoulder.“Are you okay?” I ask her, pressing another kiss on her back.“My body is shaking” she says trying to stifle a smile but she can’t, her face breaks into a huge smile, “but I am fine, thank you”“I can see it,” I tell her.I rest my head on her back and close my eyes again. I want to be in her arms forever, loving her and giving her the world. I want to give her a world where she doesn’t have to care about anyone or anything else. Where we will raise our child without being scared of the prophecy coming to pass. A world where there is no Bastian and no king Taurus. Just the two of us loving each other without any care in the world.“What’s going on in your mind?” She asks me.“Nothing princess”After kissing her again, I gently pull away from her and stand up from the bed.“I need to see the king”

How did she even get in here? How did she..“Did you enjoy your sleep?” She asks mockingly, “because after all the mayhem you caused, you are sleeping peacefully”“Is that why you sneaked into my room when you shouldn’t?”“Oh spare me the trash!” She backs out, “you are the reason why Cahir is in this state. He gave up the throne because of you, he has become the enemy of the king because of you and you think it is okay to stay and sleep? How dare you even think of closing your eyes when you have turned the whole kingdom upside down?”“You..The door bursts open and Cahir saunters in, his eyes darkening as he steps into the room. A cold air settles in the air, he is upset and he is not even trying to hide it.“How dare you come into my chambers, Desdemona?” He growls, his jaw clenching together and his face beco

    CAHIR’s POV.As soon as I step out of the room, the smile I was struggling to contain comes bursting out of me. All that was needed was just a simple conversation and we caused a lot of trouble because of that. I have missed her, I can’t even lie about her. The gods know how much I wanted to pull her into my embrace and tell her how much I love her. I thought she deliberately chose Bastian over me time and again. It turns out it was a miscommunication on our part. I am never letting that happen again, I am never letting her go away from me again no matter what.“Cahir!” Someone calls behind me and I come to halt, I don’t bother turning because I already know who it is.“We need to talk” she says again, “and I mean a fucking conversation”“I don’t have time for you” I tell her, “I have a lot I need to do”“You destroyed your father’s ice dungeon and you abdicated the throne. I thought you wanted it, Cahir? What is going on with you? Is it because of that lowlife”“She has a name, Desde

Why would he let him go when he knows the kind of a criminal his brother is?Once again, he has shown me that he will choose others over me. What the hell was I thinking? He has always had his things all planned out and the people he cares about are at the top of the pyramid.I scoff at the reality of my relationship with him, I was the only one having a second thought. He never cared and he would never.“Give me an explanation” I ask after a while, my jaw grinding against each other, “why would you let him go?”“Maybe to spite you” he scoffs, “does it hurt?”“How dare you, Cahir?”“You kept choosing him over me!” He yells, his voice reaching the roof, “every single time when I wanted you to choose me, you always chose him like I mean nothing to you. We are married, we are having a baby but yet you always chose him over me Kirk I mean nothing

    ADELINE’s POV.I didn’t expect him to come for me the moment he woke up but here he is, carrying me out of the ice dungeon despite how own injury. I purposely allowed the king to capture me because that was the only way for me to see Cahir when he woke up. I spoke to hearfyre and idrid about it and they agreed. It’s not like I forgot what Cahir did to me but I couldn’t bring myself to leave when he was still unconscious. I was the one who stabbed him, I was the one who put him in that position so it was okay for me to wait until he was better. Father didn’t teach me to break relationships unnecessarily and I am not going to do that.As for Bastian and my family, I have let them be for now. I am going to take my revenge later in a way that the three of them would be sorry for what they did.Now I have to stay alive no matter what, I can’t let myself die yet.“Put me down” I force myself to tell him but he ignores me and continues on his way.

You are here” I manage to force the words out of my mouth.“Why? You don’t want me?”“You chose my brother over me, this is what you get for being what you are”“You speak like you don’t understand the severity of things, general” she starts to walk towards me, “you think you are one hell of a man but you are worse than anything. Do you think the prophecy is a joke?”“Are you instigating me to kill?”“You can’t change what has been written, general. You can only do what is necessary”She comes to a halt in front of me, my huge frame towering above her. Now looking at her, she doesn’t look like my Adele.

She was now someone we couldn’t afford to mess with and that’s why laughed at Desdemona when she sent that useless assassin after her. I bet everything I owned to the fact that Adele will come back unscathed and she did. Now Xena under the command of the mint has refused her entry but i know my best friend. She doesn’t back down from a fight and I admire her for that.“For someone who is about to be killed by her, you really have a happy look on your face” Caroline’s voice rings in my ear as she comes to stand behind me, “shouldn’t you do something?”“I already have all this figured out”I tell her, “now you wait and watch what happens.

Finally, I have gotten all the medications and it’s time to get going. It has been hell of a day and right now I genuinely want to lay down on my bed and take a nice nap.A frog jumping at the side catches my attention and somehow it reminds of Bastian and the horrible things he has done. I took him as my own family and this is what he does to me. He killed my father and pretended about it for years, making me believe the dragons did it. How could he do something like that? How could he look me in the eyes all these years whenever I told him about my father? He has no conscience, I can see it now. The fact that he pretended to be my friend for years while being my father’s killer says a lot about him and everything I have ever believed in.“You can’t continue sulking here” hearfyre’s irritated voice rings in my ears, “unless you want your husb

Why did he have to show her? I have kept that secret for a long time but somehow he managed to find out and even show her the evidence. I didn’t know Cahir had mastered that magic art, now I was taken unawares and it would take the grace of the gods for me to be able to talk my way out of this one. Adele always believes everything I tell her, but I have a feeling she won’t believe any kind of lies that I tell this time around.“You should leave now, my prince” one of them tells me, “we want to clean him up”With one last angry look at him, I make my way out of the room stopping when I come across my father and Desdemona.“How is your brother?” He asks me frantically and I scoff.
