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.

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.
