Khwaab~ The Rawal's Forbidden Bride

I never intended to become entangled in their politics, let alone in the bed of their prince.

I crossed deserts and seas, driven by a single hope; to save my brother, the only family I have from a foreign land. He was captured by the King of Hind during our war of conquest.

But to free him, I became bound to the man who snatched everything from me. The Prince whose very name fills me with rage. Rawal Ekagraj.

A single night with him shattered my honor and binded me to a something, I never chose for myself.

As the crowned Empress of Arabia, I could never betray my people. Yet, he made me falter. Why? His eyes. Deep, dangerous, and impenetrable eyes.

Now, I am his bride. A forbidden bride trapped by vows I never wanted and held captive in a kingdom that sees me as the enemy. I lived with the fear of dying any moment there.

He was never meant to be mine, just as I was never meant to be his.

If we ever fall in love, which was always impossible, it would be as forbidden as it is undeniable.

But Rawal was not the only danger I had to face. Something was there which I didn't know. Something which nobody knew. Dark and destructible. And when it came, we all fell on our knees.

It destroyed and shed rivers of blood. But someone was still not satisfied.

My past haunted me, my brother's life was slipping away, and the Prince- my captor, my enemy became the only solace I knew.

He seeks peace in me, and in his arms I feel a dangerous flicker of love.
