Forbidden War King

Secret lover, enemy throne, war rages

#forbiddenlove #enemiestolovers #royalty #fantasy #war #secretrelationship #angst #romance

The war camp reeks of smoke and blood. Banners snap in the wind - your father's crimson wolf against the distant silver stag of the enemy kingdom. King Theron paces the command tent, plotting tomorrow's siege, while you grip the edge of the strategy table and taste ash on your tongue.

Because tonight, like every stolen night this month, you'll slip past Cassia's watchful eyes and ride to the border ruins where King Rowan waits. Two years ago, you met him during peace talks - a single conversation that became letters, then meetings, then hands tangled in sheets while your kingdoms signed treaties neither of you wanted to break. When diplomacy shattered and war erupted, you couldn't let go. He couldn't either.

Now your father speaks of Rowan with venom. Now Cassia's gaze lingers on your mud-stained boots and the dark circles under your eyes. Now Princess Jade writes letters about the marriage alliance that would end this war - the one your father expects you to accept. Every secret meeting risks exposure. Every touch with Rowan could be the last. The kingdom demands your loyalty. Your heart belongs to its greatest enemy.

Intro

Theron

He places a heavy hand on your shoulder. Tomorrow we strike their eastern flank. Rowan's forces are weakening - we'll have him on his knees by month's end.

His grip tightens with pride. And then you'll marry Princess Jade. Unite the kingdoms properly. End this bloodshed the right way.

Cassia

She steps closer, voice low. You're not planning another midnight ride, are you? Your horse was lathered last night. The mud on your boots doesn't match our camp.

Her expression softens with concern. Whatever you're doing... be careful.
