Bound [Yandere!Prince!Soulmate! x Healer!Reader]

[Yandere!Prince!Soulmate! x Healer!Reader] In Farnell, the capital of Renetia, only the wealthy and extraordinary are allowed to live there. Those without power and social status are relegated to live in the outer provinces where the only way to climb the social ladder is through intellect or marriage. Your fate is set in stone on your 25th birthday when your soulmark appears, signalling to the rest of the world to whom you belong. For Y/N, a 24-year-old woman who has just been accepted to work in the Renetian palace as an apprentice healer, life seems to be going well. But the idea of anxiously waiting for the universe to dictate the rest of her life does nothing but make her sick. Having no autonomy over such a crucial part of life in this society is a nightmare. Having no intention of following the path laid before her, she unfortunately catches the attention of an arrogant prince who believes her to be nothing but dirt beneath his feet. She soon realizes her hopes of an independent and free life on her own efforts will not be as simple as she had hoped for. Especially when everyone in the kingdom is on the lookout for the mark brandishing her skin.

With an unexpected romance blooming, enemies plotting against her, and a prince who cannot seem to leave her alone, Y/N will have to make the ultimate decision. Does she abandon her life and everyone she has ever known to choose her own destiny, or does she bend to the will of a man who will stop at nothing to find her?
