    The stifling haze of pipe smoke, spilled mead, and fresh blood still hung heavy over the splintered remains of The Drunken Wyvern. Blood pooled between the stone floorboards, painting a macabre picture of the swift, brutal slaughter that had transpired in mere minutes.Asher stood amid the carnage, towering and unyielding, breathing slowly and steadily as he slid the silver viper dagger into his dark leather belt. Beside him, Estrella wiped a thin sheen of sweat from her forehead with the back of her sleeve, her eyes sweeping over the quiet tavern to ensure no hidden threats remained.The bar door slowly creaked open, and a terrified, middle-aged tavern owner poked his head out from behind the counter, shaking like a leaf in a winter gale. His face was pale as chalk, his hands trembling violently

    The mercenary captain’s roar echoed through the rafters of The Drunken Wyvern, shattering the lingering silence like a hammer on thin glass. In an instant, the tavern degenerated into pure, violent madness. Common patrons shrieked in terror, flipping tables and trampling over one another as they scrambled frantically toward the narrow front entrance to escape the coming bloodshed.The captain’s bloodshot eyes burned with pure malice as he stared down Estrella. "For years I’ve dreamed of slitting your pretty throat, you Southern bitch!" He bellowed, his voice laced with venomous fury. "You humiliated my men in the past, butchered seven of my best blades, and left me with this!" He gestured wildly to a jagged scar running along his jawline.Asher didn't wait for the rogues to make the first move. Just as Estrella pulled to

    The heavy oak door of The Drunken Wyvern creaked open, releasing a stale gust of sour ale, cheap pipe smoke, and roasted boar into the cool afternoon air.Asher pushed the door back just enough for Estrella to slip inside ahead of him. The tavern was bathed in a thick, amber haze, lit only by sputtering tallow candles and a dying fire in the corner. Packed shoulder-to-shoulder, the tavern was a breeding ground for rogues, cutthroats, and displaced mercenaries, a place where life was cheap, and secrets were sold to the highest bidder.Scanning the room, Asher immediately spotted an empty, dimly lit corner booth near the back. His large, calloused hand anchored against the small of Estrella’s back, guiding her through the rowdy crowd.When they reached the woode

    Before descending into the lively market, Estrella managed to procure a set of ordinary town garments from a traveling merchant’s wagon near the edge of the woods. Leaving their heavy armor and recognizable royal leathers hidden safely away with the horses, they took shelter behind a dense grove of towering pines to change into their disguises.When Estrella stepped out from behind the tree trunks, Asher’s breath hitched dead in his throat.She wore a soft, midnight-blue linen gown that wrapped gently around her narrow waist before flowing down past her knees. Her long chestnut hair cascaded over her shoulders in dark, glistening waves. However, the modest neckline of the gown dipped just low enough to expose the pale base of her throat, leaving the faint, rosy impressions of his possessive bite marks and small purplish bruises on full, exquisite display to the crisp morning air.

    The cold morning air bit sharply against exposed skin as Estrella stirred awake. Her head throbbed with a dull, heavy ache, her mind groggy as if steeped in thick, suffocating fog. For a brief, serene second, she lay still in the quiet rustle of the furs, attempting to orient herself after the long, chaotic night.Then, she moved, and froze dead in her tracks.The immediate sensation of friction made her breath catch violently in her throat. Her bare chest rubbed directly against something agonizingly hot, smooth, and solid as iron. She slowly pulled back, her eyes widening in sheer, unadulterated horror as the blur of reality snapped into sharp, brutal focus.She was pressed flush against King Asher.Estrella glanced down beneath the heavy furs and sheets, her blood instantly turning to ice in her veins. She was completely, utt

    Pinned beneath his massive frame, Estrella’s heart hammered violently against her ribs. She was entirely exposed under the warm, orange glow of the hearth fire, her bare skin trembling beneath his intense, golden gaze. The cool air of the cottage brushed against her body, but the heat radiating off Asher’s towering form wrapped around her like a blanket of pure fire."Don't hide from me," Asher commanded softly, his voice a deep, vibrating rumble that shook her to her very core. His dark, golden gaze swept over her form with a mixture of reverent awe and wicked, unbridled hunger.Her skin was so snowy white and porcelain; she looked like a doll, so voluptuous in all the right places. His eyes were fixed on the swells of her chest, her light pink nipples, her taut stomach, and thick ass; she was stunning. But her beauty wasn't only that. There were small scars on her arms, shoulders
