When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector.

Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. 

Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. 

Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. 

But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night."

Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman."
---
Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities.

Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. 

For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. 

Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her.

Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

The Grand Duke's Soulmate

The forest was shrouded in darkness, with only the faint glimmer of stars and the moon's soft glow to light the way. The leaves rustled softly in the cool night breeze, creating an eerie whispering sound that seemed to echo through the trees.

The entourage had settled down near a stream. Following the incident of the wolves' attack, the commander ordered his men to descend the alternative path to the valley.

As the night wore on, the campfire flickered dimly in the darkness. The sound of wood crackling and popping filled the night's air.

The knights gathered around the blazing flames, their features obscured by the dancing shadows. Among them sat Rafe, the only one who got hurt in the aftermath, his head swathed in bandages. The healer closed his eyes as he sought warmth from the campfire. He then asked Ayden for a drink of water.
