The Prince's Wake
notyourplayground
In a world where power comes not from swords but from soul-bonded magic, Elaura was always told to follow the lead of her partner, Malric, a charming and notorious rogue with a reputation for bending hearts to his will. Yet, when she felt herself withering under his influence, she chose to break free, standing on her own and walking away-something no one had dared to do before.
For nearly a year, Elaura focused on her healing, finding strength in the silence of ancient forests and the calm of moonlit lakes, growing stronger in ways Malric had never imagined. But something unexpected happened: whispers from the enchanted waters and the wind confirmed what she had only hoped for-a powerful figure was watching her from afar, someone who understood both her heart and her spirit. Her journey of healing had awakened the attention of a true Prince of the Realms, a man whose magic balanced strength with empathy, fire with tenderness.
Now, Malric has returned, unsettled and brimming with feigned charm, hoping to reel her back under his spell. But Elaura has seen his intentions for what they are-a bid to keep her chained, a barrier to her transformation, and a desperate attempt to stop the arrival of the Prince whose presence Malric senses looming ever closer.
