Her Royal Highness

took an oath as a royal guard to serve, to protect, to never cross the line. A lifetime of loyalty. Every breath and decision shaped by duty to the crown.One night, I let passion rule—and it changed us forever. She hated me for leaving. I loved her too much to stay. Now she's back. The king's new advisor walking the palace halls like she'd never left. Stronger. Smarter. As beautiful and tempting as ever. When danger threatens her, the only one I trust to keep her safe is me. I've failed her once. I'll burn this world down before I do it again.She's mine. Mine to protect. Mine to love.
