Madeline Rose had only ever worked in her father's local blacksmith shop and occasionally helped her mother at the farm. Her skin had become tanned from the hot sun, but despite all of this, she did not complain. Even though she didn't come from a wealthy home, she was content. 



However, her life turned upside down when she stumbled upon a darkness that refused to leave her alone. 




There was him, a man cloaked in mystery and malice, a presence that sent chills down her spine. His eyes, shrouded in shadows, held a depth of darkness that seemed to swallow the light around him. 





When their paths crossed, Madeline felt a cold dread wash over her, as if she had invited a malevolent force into her world.

The Devil's Embrace

The inside was even more breathtaking than what had greeted her in the other room. This place had brighter light; it seemed as though everything it illuminated gleamed like gold — the walls, the chairs, and the bed positioned at one end.

The room was empty except for the bed, the chair, and a long couch with blankets carefully arranged on it.

Madeline couldn't help but wonder why the king had such a room. Why did his study include an extra room with a bed? Did that mean he slept here? Perhaps if he was too exhausted from work and couldn't make it back to his quarters, he would rest here. However, her thoughts began to stray towards other possibilities.

She scolded herself internally, knowing that 'what ifs' often led to unwelcome thoughts. But she couldn't resist letting her mind wander. What if he brought other women here and mate with them?
