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 y

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

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 protec

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 fin

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

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

ADELE’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 bu

CAHIR’s POV. The moment I close her door behind me, I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding. Gods, her deep blue eyes made it almost impossible for me to stay away and I had to lean closer to get a better view of those eyes and those plump lips of hers. For the past four days, I have been taking care of her and believe me, I never want to see her in that kind of a situation again. It felt like she was going to die, she even slipped into a coma for a full day. I rake my fingers through my hair as I start down the hallway but I meet Xena halfway. Why the heck is she still here? I thought she left? “I thought you would never come out” “What do you want?” “About Adele, you… “We are not doing this” I already know what she wants to talk about and I am genuinely not in the mood to listen to her. “I am tired right now and I need to take some rest. If you are less busy, why don’t you track down the hideouts of the Alkis” “Wow, you won’t even talk to your sister bu

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

ADELE’s POV.As soon as he says those words to me, it’s like my world came to a fucking standstill. He let Bastian go? What does that even mean? 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. He is so stubborn and that’s one thing that

CAHIR’s POVBlood..fire…the dagger. She took his hand instead of mine and I promised to take my revenge on her. 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. They have the same face but different temperaments and way o

BASTIAN’s POV.From the window, I watch all of them battle her and I know deep inside of me that they are no longer a match for her. She has evolved in a way none of us thought was possible. 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. I am not going to let my best friend become a stranger to me”“She is not stupid”“Well, let’s see how this goes”Pulling out my sword, I make my way out of the roo

ADELE’s POV.I let out a light groan as I lower myself on the rock, pulling out my water container, I take a mouthful, letting out a huge sigh. 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

BASTIAN’s POVAs soon as she disappears out of the room, I turn my gaze to the unconscious man on the bed. The urge to grab a dagger and thrust it into him envelops me but I can’t do that, not when the physicians are both here and the king is just outside the door.What the hell Cahir? 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. I have never taken him a
