OrahOnyinye
I never asked for this life.
Never asked to be bound by a crown, by duty, by a marriage I did not choose. Yet here I am-trapped in a palace where whispers speak of curses and shadows remember every queen who came before me. They say love will find a way, but how can it bloom when my heart belongs to a man who does not want it, and my soul is bound by ancient promises older than the throne itself?
The King-my husband in name, a stranger in every other sense-moves through these halls with power that chills and desire that burns. Every glance, every fleeting touch, is a spark I am forbidden to chase. And yet, I cannot stop myself.
In this kingdom, duty demands obedience, curses demand silence, and love... love may demand everything.
A human prophecied by fate to change the fate of the demons. Will love break an ancient curse or will her life be lost for her people
