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 was King Veer's 15th daughter. Out of his 18 children, she was the least favoured. As King Veer’s kingdom faced an impending attack from Cyrus, he desperately chose to offer Nila as a sacrifice to the werewolf king. How will this marriage turn out to be? Will she find a way to escape the clutches of the werewolf king? Excerpt Nila gasped, her face turning red due to rage and embarrassment ''You cheated! How could you fool me with another identity?'' Cyrus chuckled inching closer to her until her back hit one of the pillars, ''Look who is talking about identity, you thought wearing a wig could hide the fact that you were a woman?''

Finish what we started.

Nila gasped as she covered her mouth with her hands surprised that she let out such a sound.

She clutched Cyrus's coat, ''Wait, Sol, let's get back to the ball, people...people might be waiting for us,''

Cyrus stepped away, took a deep breath, and chuckled, ''Now look who is pushing away, but yeah, we should go back.''

The doors to the ballroom opened once more, and Cyrus led Nila back inside, their earlier conversation leaving a warmth between them that eased the tension she'd been carrying. The soft hum of chatter and laughter swept over them like a wave, but this time, it felt different and lighter, more manageable.

Nila glanced up at Cyrus, who gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before releasing it. The room seemed more vivid, the lights more golden, the music more inviting.
