Born as an unwanted heir, Prince Kaelith has spent his life fighting for a place in a kingdom that never truly accepted him. When a political alliance forces him into an arranged marriage with the enigmatic Lady Seraphine, he sees it as yet another chain binding him to a fate he never chose.

But Seraphine is not what she seems. Beneath her beauty and grace lies a woman with secrets—secrets that could shake the very foundations of the kingdom. As Kaelith slowly unravels the web of deceit surrounding his new bride, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he never expected.

When a devastating betrayal threatens to break him, Kaelith is left questioning everything: his loyalty, his love, and the truth about the woman who now shares his bed. As war looms and hidden enemies close in, Kaelith and Seraphine must navigate a treacherous game of power, desire, and deception.

Will love be enough to mend the wounds of betrayal, or will their secrets tear them apart forever?

A tale of passion, political intrigue, and slow-burning romance, The Unwanted Prince is a gripping historical fantasy where love and loyalty are tested in the fires of war.

Am unwanted

She needed to hear something—anything—that would untangle the storm in her mind.

So, instead of returning to her chambers, she slipped through the quieter corridors of the palace, her steps careful, measured. She needed someone who wasn't tangled in this dangerous game with Kaelith. Someone who could see beyond power, politics, and control.

She found herself outside a familiar door.

A moment later, the door creaked open, and Lady Evelyne, her most trusted lady-in-waiting, blinked at her in surprise.

"Your Highness?" Evelyne stepped aside quickly. "Come in."

Seraphine stepped inside, pacing before Evelyne could even shut the door behind her.

Evelyne crossed her arms, her sharp gaze assessing. "You only come to me at this hour when something is truly troubling you."

Seraphine stopped, exhaling slowly. "Kaelith wants an heir."

Evelyne's brows lifted slightly, but she didn't look surprised. "And?"

Seraphine turned to her. "And he said he wants me to bear his child—not just any heir."

Evelyne watched her closely. "I see."

Seraphine scoffed, arms wrapping around herself. "You don't seem shocked."

"I'm not," Evelyne admitted. "Anyone with eyes can see that whatever is between you and the prince is far more than just duty."

Seraphine stiffened. "This isn't about feelings. This is about control."

Evelyne studied her for a long moment. Then she spoke, her voice softer now. "Is it?"

Seraphine opened her mouth to argue but found no words.

Evelyne took a step closer. "You came to me, Seraphine, because you're not sure of your own answer. Not because you want mine."

The real question wasn't what Kaelith wanted.

And why, despite every warning in her mind, the thought of carrying his child wasn't something she could push away.
