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

A look of unspeakable shock coloured Kiev's face. His grip on the maid's hand tightened as a sharp pain stabbed his heart upon learning that his soulmate was pregnant with somebody else's child.

Surprised by Eva's statement, Elis, realising she was still holding the Mederian prince's hand, instinctively pulled back, attempting to release herself, but Kiev held it firmly, refusing to let go.

"Is this... true?" the Mederian Prince turned to the maid as he asked, his words laced with disbelief.

"No! I'm not pregnant!" Elis quickly denied it.

"Mother, there must be some mistake. You can't possibly think she's pregnant just because she vomited. Many conditions could cause the same symptom," Rafe interjected, trying to reason with Eva.

"But she mentioned craving nuts last night in my room. I saw how she eagerly consumed them, and I'm sure she's pregnant! She might not know it since this is her first time!" Eva insisted with conviction.
