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 biting cold wind relentlessly lashed his face, sending shivers down his body. His once-charming visage now appeared gaunt, drained by exhaustion, sapping his every ounce of energy. His lips quivered, suppressing the waves of pain welling up inside him.

Kiev trudged wearily, his feet heavy with each step as he pressed on. Anna's limp form cradled in his arms, wrapped in a tattered blanket, her eyes sealed shut, her face ashen.

The Mederian Prince's gaze drifted to her, a cloak of worry enveloping him. Anna had not stirred since fainting the day before.

"We'll reach the mansion soon, Princess Anna. You'll be all right," Kiev murmured softly.

The protective barrier conjured by the Mederian Prince enveloped them as they moved, the blood on his hands nearly dried.

Danger Approaching!
