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 day blossomed under a fine sunny sky, casting a radiant glow upon everything it touched. The golden rays of sunshine filtered through the windows, illuminating the mansion with warmth. The cheerful weather outside was a stark contrast to the gloomy atmosphere that had lingered within the mansion's walls.

Amidst the rejuvenating ambience, Ayden couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of energy and vitality. The sun's gentle embrace seemed to invigorate his spirit, infusing him with a newfound zest for life.

Upon his arrival the day before, he retired to his room, where a meal was delivered to him. After partaking in the nourishment, he took some drowsy medicine and settled into bed, only awakening in the middle of the night. By then, everyone else had already succumbed to slumber.

As hunger gnawed at him, he made his way to the kitchen, passing by the training ground where Alex and Drystan were still engrossed in their punishment.
