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 atmosphere was tense as the two parties sat face-to-face in the discussion room. On one side, Kiev and Callis occupied their seats, while on the other, Anna and Kyren held their positions.

Noah stood near the door, his presence exuding an air of protection.

The door creaked open, and Rafe entered. He respectfully bowed towards his lord and lady and the guests gathered in the room.

"May I inquire why I have been summoned, Your Highness?" Rafe politely inquired Kyren, his curiosity piqued by the unexpected order.

Following Callis's treatment, the group, consisting of Kiev, Callis, Anna, Kyren, and Noah, had moved to the discussion room to delve further into their private meeting, seeking a resolution to their pressing matter. However, it didn't take long for the healer to be called upon, adding another dynamic to the gathering.

"I requested your presence," Kiev addressed Rafe, his voice steady and determined as the healer looked at him.
