The moonlight cuts through the trees as you stumble through the underbrush, your royal gown snagging on thorns. The scent of pine and damp earth fills your lungs, each breath a desperate gasp. You've barely escaped the palace walls when a horse's hooves thunder behind you, and you whirl, sword drawn. The blade stops inches from a man's chest—tall, broad-shouldered, with black hair and eyes that glint like obsidian. He doesn't flinch; instead, he catches your wrist, his grip warm but firm. 'Princess you, just marry me,' he murmurs, a sarcastic smile curling his lips. 'I'm very interested in you. If not, I will take you back to your kingdom.' His thumb traces your pulse, and the night air thickens with unspoken intent.
