The Warrior’s Bride.

The Warrior's Bride Fareeda feared as she stared at the man. She was sure he was going to run away with her fruit basket. After all, it was her fault. She had let him hold the basket. This was all her and her father had. She would use the money to buy them some chickens and seeds. She was sure this would be her death. Her father would hate her more than he already did.  Just like that, the man took off and she took off after him shouting for help, but there was hardly anyone on the street this early. She wanted to get a nice spot for herself because all the other traders were too violent. As she ran, there were tears flowing down her eyes. He was gainng more distance and she was running out of breath.  All of a sudden, she stopped. Someone was fighting the m

The Warrior’s Bride. Prince Amir felt as if a breath had been stolen from his throat before he turned. Azim was his cousin. They were close in age, but he was older and he lived in his mother’s tribe. “Father, you cannot do that. “ Prince Amir said, covering the distance to his father’s throne. “I can do what I see fit.

I will watch the head of warriors train with the warriors and Bashir’s men. I will decide which is better for you. “ King Aladdin said and his son knew not to argue with him. “If anything you should blame your mother for making you this way. Sh

The Warrior’s Bride Fareeda yawned as she rolled on the bed. The first thing she realised when she opened her eyes was that  she wasn’t in her room. She was naked under the sheets. She never slept without any clothes on. She sat up as she realised everything that happened yesterday. She was now Alexander’s wife. A smile made its way to her face as she remembered what took place at night. She would have never guessed that was what husbands and wives do. He had kissed every single part of her body and she loved it. A gasp left her lips as Anna walked into the room.

He could see the tension between both his sons, but he was glad Alexander was ignoring his spoiled son. They were a few months apart, but Alexander still showed signs of being the older one. King Aladdin was glad when he saw they went on break. He called for Amir. “Father, I didn’t see you there. You have been here everyday. “ Amir said, looking at his father. He had realised overtime that working on the field was not anything like he thought. “Yes. I am here to watch you. I’m very glad you’re doing well. “ King Aladdin said, looking proudly at his son.

The Warrior’s Bride. Fareeda stared at her mother in law. She had been awake since the seventh hour in the morning, and it was shocked her that her mother in law who always managed to wake up when the day was still dark, slept until it was almost noon. Fareeda was just preparing to visit her husband at the training grounds. She had made his favorite drink and she decided she would take it to him.
