Three sweet words, and they eviscerated the very foundation I once stood upon.
Because Iโd resigned myself to a life of sadness and pain without a mate. Without love. Each day, Iโd been slowly dying inside under my fatherโs oppressive holdโthe constant pain his lies causedโwhile he arranged my marriage to a man I both loathe and fear.
My people turned a blind eye to this. They just didnโt care.
And yet, one look into the Wiccan Kingโs possessive eyes, and my world came alive with color.
In this male, I found love. Acceptance. A home.
Three things I will fight to keep. Will bleed for.
Leonardo:
Their biggest mistake was touching what is mine.
This pure and innocent soul given to me by the Gods that I treasure above all else. Above duty. Above vendettas yet to be fulfilled because nothing matters more than her happiness, and if I must eradicate an entire kingdom to protect her, so mote it be.
I wear her mark on my cock with pride. My female is the only one Iโd bend a knee for.
IโM A KING.
A PROTECTOR.
Iโm irrevocably tied to her until my last dying breath, and even then, Iโll still be hers.
