Dutiful Love

Almost five thousand years ago, Selene was the strongest kingdom in the universe, ruled by Cyrus Sol Selene. Rumours had it that he killed his father to take over the throne. Everybody bowed down at his shadow's mere presence. Everyone except her. Nila, the overlooked daughter of King Veer, was nothing more than a pawn in her father’s desperate gamble to save his crumbling kingdom. Offered as a sacrifice to the notorious king, she was thrust into a marriage forged by fear and power. Bound to a man as dangerous as he is captivating, Nila must navigate a court of shadows, secrets, and blood. Will she find a way to escape the grasp of the werewolf king, or will she fall into his arms? As they navigate through life, Cyrus and Nila are pulled together and apart by fate. What will they choose? Duty or Love? Filled with action, heartache, and quiet moments of connection, this story is about love, loss, and the courage to embrace the unknown.

The group moved on, the carriage wheels creaking faintly as it rolled over uneven terrain. This time Nila and Laila rode together while Cyrus rode on a horse.

The carriage was filled with laughter as the ladies made fun of each other's love life, one being too progressive and the other one not progressing at all.

When the group took a stop near a rest area, Aleena approached Laila and Nila,

"Laila, why don't you ride in the carriage with Victor for a bit?" she suggested, her tone casual but her eyes sparkling with intention. "Nila will be fine with me for now."

Laila hesitated, glancing toward Nila for approval. When the young noblewoman nodded with an amused smile, Laila sighed. "As you wish, Lady Nila," she murmured, dipping into a slight curtsy before heading toward the carriage.

Victor, who had been adjusting the straps on his pack, blinked in surprise. "Oh, uh, sure," he mumbled, scrambling to climb in after her.
