CAHIR’s POV.

I know he lied to me about not being with her, that shriek was from her but I am grateful to him that he took her away before the king saw her. He would have ordered her execution the moment he saw her. Even though I hate him, I am glad he was able to save her.

After securing the wards in the room again, I leave to find her. And needs to understand that she can’t come and go from my room like she pleases.

I meet Xena at the gates and from the look on her face, she wants to talk but I am not in the mood to speak to anyone else aside from my wife. Wife? Since when did I start acknowledging her as my wife? The thought of it makes me scoff.

“Cahir….

“Not now, xena” I tell her, “I am not in the mood for that”

“It’s important, Cahir”

I let out a heavy sigh while massaging the space between my brows.

“Tell me”

“Father is looking for Adeline right?”

“How did…

“You don’t have to lie to me anymore, I already have part of it figured out. I know he is looking for him, tell me is ther

    ADELE’s POV,When I enter the training room later, I see Cahir practicing but that’s not what catches my attention. He is bare chested , beads of sweat rolling down his body while the sword moves freely in his hand like he has become one with it. My cheeks flush, gods help me. He looks so good, so good like a sin I wanted to commit at this particular moment.He stops training when he sees me, an expressionless look hovering over his face.“You are late”“I was letting the others know I won’t be joining them”“You did not need to tell anyone” he cuts me off.“Well” I cover the space between us, “I don’t want anyone misunderstanding us, i genuinely do not want to be the center of attention around here”He grimaces but doesn’t say anything, he sure knows how to hide his expressions, I genuinely won’t know what is going on in his mind.“No one will question you” he sheaths his sword as he comes to stand in front of me. I can feel the heat from his body, it is something between sandalwood

    ADELINE’s POV.It’s been one whole week since Cahir left and I can’t lie, I miss him. I know we don’t get along well and he doesn’t like me but I can’t stop thinking about him. The feel of his body against mine, the way my body reacts to him, the way he makes me feel. The last time he made me orgasm time and again and I swear to the gods that I couldn't get enough of it. I wanted him inside of me but he wouldn’t do that. He was messing with me, I could see the mischievous glint in his eyes.But even after a week, I still miss him, I want to see him and feel him.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath as I allow my sword to fall to the ground. I have been training nonstop for three hours and my body is already reacting to the pain.I rake my fingers through my hair, allowing another cuss word to leave my mouth.Picking up my water container, I chug down a mouthful of it before letting out another sigh.“Finally” a familiar voice filters into my ear and I raise my head to see Bastian coming

    BASTIAN’s POV. For the umpteenth time, I let my sword fall to the ground while Lance keeps looking at me, confusion hovering over his face. We have been going for about an hour but I can’t even get my head in the game. Adeline’s words are still ringing in my head, I can still feel the taste of her words. He touched her, that bastard touched her and she didn’t seem to hate it. She called him her husband, she looked proud to say it.“What’s going on with you, Bas?” He asks me.Part of me wants to scream and yell and just grab that fucking brother of mine by his neck and sniff the life out of him. His mother did a good job in keeping the king from my mother until she passed away. He was doing a good job trying to steal the woman I have loved all my life. I loved Adeline so much that it hurts. The gods be damned, I will make him pay for daring to even look at her.“What’s going on with you, Bas?” Lance asks me again, a look of concern etched on his face,“Nothing, I am fine”With that, I

    ADELINE’s POV.For the umpteenth time, I angrily bang my hand against the wall that has refused to open for the past two days. I have been trying to get the wards off but it is not coming off. I didn’t know Cahir was this strong, I shouldn’t have underestimated that broad of a general. Even when he is not around, he is not making my life any easier.It’s been a long time since I saw him and it’s been a week since I last spoke to Bastian after our little fight. We haven’t said a word to each other even when we are in the same space. I see him stealing glances at me at times but he doesn’t make any effort to come up to me and I have made peace with that because a few days ago, Caroline herself told me about her and Bastian fucking themselves and I believed her. Everyone is talking about it but Bastian didn’t even try to say anything about it. I thought he hated her but after a fight with me, he goes ahead to fuck her…pathetic.“You need to calm down,” I tell myself before backing away f

    CAHiR’s POV.For three weeks I didn’t see her and when I got news on her, the king wanted to kill her. Who gave him the right to think he could hurt her? Who gave him the right to think he can do anything to her? She is mine and mine alone. I won’t let anyone hurt her, no matter who or what he is.That’s why I left the battlefield and allowed the army of silvercrest to cater for themselves. The king made me promise to fight for them and in my absence he wants to kill my wife? How pathetic.As soon as those words leave my mouth, all eyes turn to me, surprised and confused. This is not the way I actually wanted to show everyone that she is my wife but this is the only way I can save her. I know the king might hang onto something, the fact that she could be the one he is looking for but when we get to that bridge, we will cross it.After climbing off ivar, I make my way towards the crowd and to Adeline. How dare they hold her in this way?“Let go” I tell the two guards holding her down,

Two days ago, she looked me in the eyes like I am the worst person on earth. She looked so hurt and I didn’t know what to do. I promised I wasn’t going to lie to her again and now I did, I lied to her and I don’t think she would ever forgive me again. How would I be able to win her love if I kept lying to her and keeping things from her? I know everything about her and she knows nothing about me. I didn’t lie to her on purpose,

    ADELINE’s POV.He was the son of the king, I was married to the son of the king and somehow I made enemies with the king. For the past two days, I have been living in my head and I was glad Cahir didn’t force me to do anything. He left me to myself and occasionally came to check in on me but what burst the most is the fact that I thought I knew Bastian but I knew nothing about him. He had lied to me several times in the past but this one supersedes them all. The fact that he looked me in the eyes and allowed me to talk about his identity. I always knew him as that naïve boy who was always in his mother’s market stall so how did we get to this? How did he turn out to become the prince overnight? The more I thought about it, the more it didn't make sense to me.My thoughts are interrupted when my door creaks open and Cahir saunters in, a tray of food in hand.Here is this man, he has never told me anything but I still don’t feel upset with him. Why? Is it because I have feelings for him

As soon as they see me, a hush falls on the room. Ever since they found out I am the prince, all of them are trying to behave extra careful around me. This is clearly not what I want but the king had to come and ruin everything. He had to show his powers and make me save Adeline.“We will start immediately” I announce.“Yes general” they all chorus before getting into positions. Most of them can already manifest their powers but Adeline is just stuck. I don’t know if it’s because her gate of energy is locked or it’s the fact that she doesn’t want to do it. If her gate of energy is opened and she comes in contact with her dragon, she will become the ch

    CAHIR’s POV.With a little grunt, I slump down on the bed beside her. I can hear her raspy breathing. 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”

    ADELE’s POV.I don’t know for how long Cahir has been gone this time but when I open my eyes from my sleep, I see a familiar figure seated on the chair away from me…Desdemona. 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.

She chose him over me, I should take my pound of flesh and make her pay for not believing in me.“General?” I hear my voice from a distance and I gently turn around to see her standing behind me.“Even in my dreams. 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.

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.
