The Devil's Betrothed

A love destined for tragedy, a futile pursuit, an unwinnable fight - yet, both hearts clung tenaciously, refusing to surrender until the bitter end. Arlan Cromwell, the embodiment of a regal Crown Prince, yearned for a simple human existence, but dragon's life was anything but ordinary. His sole mission was to track down his逃婚的新娘并斩下她的头颅。然而命运的转折，让他发现那个触动他心弦的女人正是他誓要杀戮的对象。 Oriana, a Black Witch in disguise as a man, had spent her life in perpetual flight, unaware of why she was running. As the shadows of her past encroached, she found herself without allies... until Arlan. Yet, discovering the man she'd given her heart to恰恰 sought her demise, acceptance seemed an impossible task. Two individuals, each harboring hidden truths and concealed identities, embarked on a quest for answers. As the lurking darkness threatened Oriana, would the Dragon rise to shield his chosen mate? Excerpt: "If I had known you were my betrothed, I would've ended your life the instant we crossed paths," Arlan's eyes burned with hatred. "If I'd known our fates intertwined, I'd have taken my own life before you could do me harm," Oriana echoed his sentiments, matching his intensity. He extended a dagger, offering it. "It's not too late. Ease your suffering with this blade." She took the knife, gripping it firmly. In the next instant, she reversed roles, pressing the blade against his throat. "Why don't I start with you, my betrothed?" "Be my guest. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandfather's blood, followed by yours," she taunted, watching him closely. Enraged, she slashed deeply, severing a crucial vessel. "You shouldn't have dared challenge me," she sneered, stepping back, anticipating his fall. But Arlan merely smirked, running his finger over the fresh wound. "Looks like you were the one who faltered." Witnessing the wound heal before her eyes left her stunned. "You... what are you?" "Curious?" he replied, leaving her to ponder his enigmatic nature. Instagram: @mynovel_20 Facebook: Author_MyNovelTwenty
