The Admiral’s Daughter and the Pirate King

***Book 1 Completed*** It is not always the prince who sweeps a maiden off her feet. Sometimes the person who is thought to be a villain is actually the true hero of the story. Hence, only a keen eye can see beyond the rough edges. “DANGER!” That's one of the things that can be associated with him. However, how can one revered as dangerous be at the same time the one that can make her heart beat down her throat and caused her breath to hitch? How might she avoid him when each time he gravitates toward her, she finds herself unfit to move? Entrapped. Dazed. Bathe with palpable tension no one could rupture. Was it just fear? Or on the other hand, was it something entirely different? A blossoming passion, perhaps? A forbidden love that would send both their worlds reeling upside down. Many have tried to escape the claws of fate, yet close to none have succeeded. Vereena Braxton, daughter of an Admiral from House MacGhille. An epitome of flawlessness she had to uphold and a scandal to avoid. Everything is perfect as her destiny had already been planned out as she ought to marry the crowned prince. That is, until one night, pirates came along their harbor and caused mayhem across their city. Where she finds herself in the clutches and at the mercy of a vicious pirate, stowed her away from the life she once knew. But with the time they spent, Vereena has come to ask herself. Has he really taken her as a captive, or has he set her free from the rigid society she lived in? WSA Theme: Historical

Chapter 24: Cage

[Vereena]

I watch the sun slowly peak into the sky, casting its light into the world. My toes dig deeper into the sand as the fresh breeze from the morning blows my hair around the back of my head. I haven't got any sleep, not even a blink. The remainder of the time was spent with me staring at the roof of the cave and listening to the crackling of the fire.

The crew roused before the sun, and I told Callum that I won't be with them venturing into the wild, deeming that I would only be useless and probably slow them down. Edric presented that he would stay with me, but I insisted that he would go with them. I couldn't deprive the boy of his sense of adventure.
