BASTIAN’s POV.Adeline stiffens the moment the king asked her that question. She clenches her and unclenches her jaw and believe me, I know what’s going on in her mind. Talking about the man who broke your heart can be shitty stuff and it makes me get more upset with the king. Can’t he just drop it? Why the hell must I always do this?“You…“He forced me” Adele cuts me off and a look of surprise flashes through my face.“What?” King Tarus leans forward, all eyes on her.“He forced me into that marriage with him and he never told me the reason. I have asked a million times but he wouldn’t tell me. My lord” she immediately falls on her knees, “I am tired of being married to him, please grant me a divorce”For the second time today, my jaw drops. She didn’t even discuss this with me and now she…I should be happy she wants to end this marriage but she is Adele, she always has something up her sleeves.“So you want a divorce?”“Yes, your majesty” she responds, “it was stupidity on my side

ADELE’s POV.I have trusted Bastian all my life but letting him bring me into this forest was definitely a bad idea but then, anything to keep me away from Cahir. I didn’t want to be in the same space with him, I didn’t want to breathe the same air with him. Anything to keep me away from him and at this point, I genuinely don’t care that Bastian lied to me about being the prince. He could do anything he wanted and I was enjoying that at the moment..well, i could be a hypocrite one more time. Being in the same room with Cahir a while back almost messed with me and I wanted to jump into his embrace, shame be damned but I didn’t. How could I forget the things he said to me? He made me feel like I didn’t even deserve to be in the same space as him. Yes, I loved him but I was done letting that love consume me. Now I am going to focus on finding my father’s murderer and also heartfyre. I have been able to control my powers now and the king has not said anything. I am still safe and that’s

ADELE’s POV.I stiffen in his embrace the moment his lips crashed against mine. It is hungry, vicious, ferocious and everything in between. He fists my hair in his hands and deepens the kiss, prying my mouth open in the process. This man before me looks so different from the Cahir that I knew, he looks like he is about to bring the world to its knees.But we shouldn’t be doing this, he is the same person who pushed me away, he has no right coming here and kissing me like he owns me and moreover I owe Bastian every iota of respect, he has helped me by bringing me me to his and his mother’s favorite place so how can I disrespect it like this?With my last ounce of power, I push him off and my hand lands on his face in a slap. How dare he? How dare he come here and act like everything is fine when he was the same person who pushed me away because he was sleeping with his step mother. The mere thought of it makes me so upset that the urge to drown him in this water encapsulates me.“How d

CAHIR’s POVWith each step I take away from her, the urge to turn back and pull her into my arms and tell her how much I love her and how much I want to be with her. When I saw her earlier with Bastain, I was so upset that I had to come here to find her and when I saw her looking so beautiful inside that water, I wanted to keep looking at her forever but I didn’t want her to know she is my weak point , I want to be able to protect her without raising suspicion from anyone including the king and Bastain. The only person who knows about my plan is Desdemona and I will kill her if she ever thinks of betraying me.After leaving them, I make my way back to the palace, just in time to see the king before he leaves. Because of Adele, I have been frequenting the palace lately. Even though I don’t like it, I have to do it for her and nothing else.Today, I used my powers to trap Bastian in an endless loop of looking for her, I don’t know what I will do next when it comes to her. The only thing

ADELINE’s POV.I have known Gwen for a while because she is related to mother. What I didn’t know was the fact that she was Cahir’s nanny and even Bastian knew her. Now I am standing in front of them wondering the other things I do not know. It’s official, I am the most kept in the dark person in Drakesworth.They look close, Cahir is smiling genuinely at her and even Bastian too. They look really close.“I didn’t know you worked for him, aunt”“The palace kept it a secret, my dear” she says, “even your mother found out recently when she told me that you had gone to the borders to become a soldier. Then I told Cahir to take care of you. I think the gods are on my side because the two of you got marriage”“It was a sham marriage, Gwen” the words are out of my mouth before I can even stop it, “we are asking the king for a divorce”“What?” Her head whips towards him, “a divorce? Why?”“We are not getting a divorce, Gwen” Cahir says as a matter of fact, “you can try all you want. Gwen, I

BASTIAN’s POV.I watched her leave, her shoulders hanging low. I knew Adele ever since she was a child. One thing is that she would never want to bug anyone with her problems no matter how large it is. She is having issues with her family but no one knows. Her sister and her mother both treat her badly but after knowing her, she opened up to me.I can say that I know her the most in this world, I know her more than everyone and it gives me a kind of joy to know her and be able to help her. That’s why the moment I watch her walk out of the palace gates, I turn around and walk back into the house. I need to have a serious conversation with Desdemona, I do not care if she is the queen but I do not play about Adele. Yes, I killed her father but she doesn’t know about that and she doesn’t need to know. He found out what he was not supposed to and that led to his death. Once again, people should mind their fucking businesses.Shoving the thoughts of him to the back of my head, I quicken my

CAHIR’s POV.“Good, I want all of them in before next weekend” my voice resonates round the room as all eyes remain on me. Two days after I returned from Drakeworth, it has been boring. I haven’t seen her in two days and I genuinely do not know what’s going on. If I had known that Bastian would pack his belongings and go with her, I would have thought of something else to do with her.With hearfyre still out there, the urge to protect her continues to grow. I trust that she won’t be able to get her back in Drakesworth because it has been an age long tradition that drains are not allowed in the country unless with their bonded humans and that’s why I can always take Ivar with me anytime I visit.“Is that all?” Xerxes asks, cutting off my train of thought.“Didn’t you get it?”“Sorry?”“Don’t be stupid, Xerxes” the words are out of my mouth before I can even stop myself. I am being a bastard now but I genuinely have no intention of stopping. My wife is in Drakesworth with my brother wh

ADELE POV.Someone frantically knocks on my door and I push my body off the bed but before I can even get to the door, it pushes open and my husband’s angry face comes into view. He looks so upset, so fucking upset.“Cahir, you…..The words hang in my throat as he yanks me closer and slam his lips on mine. Anger, desire, pain, lust and everything in between. He pushes me back against the wall and deepens the kiss making it almost impossible for me to breathe. Part of me like it, the part that want to have my hand wrapped around his torso while he fucked me into oblivion but the other part, the logical one wants to push him away and make him understand that he can not just walk into my room and kiss me like he owns me. Technically he does since we are still married but that aside, he can’t just.With my last ounce of logic, I gently push him off and a frustrated groan leaves his mouth as he pulls away from me. He is still close, so close that his natural scent is making a mess of me a

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
