It isn’t a cake walk either. I led her across the property, past the outer barn, and toward the far pasture where the small stable stood. This one was mine—my space. There were three other stables on the land, shared by my dad, brother, and the rest of the hands, but this was the one I kept separate. Quiet. Just for the ones I trained and trusted. We walked up to the fence, and I whistled once. The sound echoed in the still air. A dark bay stallion trotted up, proud and alert, ears pricking forward like he knew exactly what was about to happen.

Nobody wanted to experience that shit again for sure. Nobody said a word as they marched along the outskirts of the pasture and onto the main part of the castle grounds. They continued on their path for a while and then they came to an area that appeared to be a stable of some kind. It was definitely the nicest stable area that Caine and Jason had ever seen. That said a lot, considering that they grew up with that lifestyle, as well as the fact that both of their women went to an equestrian college, and Jason was their trainer. There were some of the most beautiful and functional fences that were ever created outlining the area, and the cross fences to match. There was a riding arena, round

With that, he turned and walked out of the door, leaving both Erdem and me in a state of surprise and curiosity. "Arion?" Erdem muttered aloud, his brows furrowing in confusion. A surge of anticipation washed over us, and without wasting a moment, we hurried towards the backyard. There, tucked away in a secluded corner, stood a small yet enchanting stable. It was there that we laid our eyes on him—the majestic black horse.

I asked. “They are staying with my dad and Rosalyn, eagerly soaking up grandpa and grandma time." he chuckled. I nodded as we reached the stables. “Welcome to House Ares stables. My understanding is you have a love of horses." I said, gesturing to a stable hand. “So how about a ride while we wait for your wife and my fiancé? " I suggested as Atlas and a second horse was brought forward. “I think that’s an excellent use of time." he smiled eagerly, climbing into his saddle.

- the girl remarked gloomily. William chuckled. - You caught up with me. Now the promised prize. They walked around the castle's outer perimeter. William led the girl to a small building against the wall and out through a narrow wooden door. Ira gasped: it was a stable. A row of stalls, made of dark oak and elegant forging, leading to a large arena and a field enclosed by a fence. The smell of hay and horse sweat awakened happiness and reverence in the girl - remnants of feelings from her past life.

Pictures from girls' nights in my apartment and scenic shots of Jamaica. “Thank you,” I smile, and he nods. “My gift is outside in the stable,” Carter breaks the silence and hands me a picture. “Thoroughbred, Stallion, 18 hands. Please tell me that makes sense. Caleb helped me.” I smile and nod. “I need to get a saddle,” I confess with glee. “Oh, really?” Everyone asks in unison. I smell my brother and look up. But he doesn’t see me. He is staring at my friend.

Everything here ran like a well-oiled machine—efficient, ordered. But even the most disciplined systems had cracks. And I was learning where to find them. We reached the stables last, the earthy scent of hay and horse filling the air. Rows of sleek, muscled horses stood tied under the shade of wooden beams. A few pawed at the ground impatiently, tossing their manes. Aiden walked up to a black stallion and stroked its neck. The animal huffed softly, lowering its head to him. “This one’s mine,” he said, a faint hint of pride in his voice. “Name’s Ghost.”

“Yes?” “Join me in the stables later today.” My brows rose. “The stables?” He nodded once. “I’m taking a ride outside the palace walls. You’ll come with me.” It wasn’t a request. But there was a softness in his voice that made me say yes. I had never seen this side of the palace before. The stables were tucked away behind tall hedges, secluded from the main grounds.
