A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

Ready For Anything
Still smiling, Kaelix straightened up slightly. "Alright, alright. The people were… incredibly enthusiastic, and honestly, everything was perfect." His tone softened, and the sincerity in his words warmed the moment.
"I knew it!" Elena exclaimed. "I told you they would be. Eirik is impossible not to love."
Kaelix let out a low chuckle. "Yes, well, I suppose you were right."
Eirik felt a blush creep up his neck at their words, though he couldn't help but smile.
Being around Kaelix's parents was like stepping into a warm, bustling kitchen after a cold winter day, full of life, full of love, and a little overwhelming in the best way.
As Elena continued to chatter excitedly about wedding plans, Reagan gently pulled Kaelix aside, his expression more serious but still warm.
"Walk with me, son," he said quietly, leading Kaelix away from the lively conversation.
