The Admiral’s Daughter and the Pirate King

***Book 1 Completed*** It is not always the prince who sweeps a maiden off her feet. Sometimes the person who is thought to be a villain is actually the true hero of the story. Hence, only a keen eye can see beyond the rough edges. “DANGER!” That's one of the things that can be associated with him. However, how can one revered as dangerous be at the same time the one that can make her heart beat down her throat and caused her breath to hitch? How might she avoid him when each time he gravitates toward her, she finds herself unfit to move? Entrapped. Dazed. Bathe with palpable tension no one could rupture. Was it just fear? Or on the other hand, was it something entirely different? A blossoming passion, perhaps? A forbidden love that would send both their worlds reeling upside down. Many have tried to escape the claws of fate, yet close to none have succeeded. Vereena Braxton, daughter of an Admiral from House MacGhille. An epitome of flawlessness she had to uphold and a scandal to avoid. Everything is perfect as her destiny had already been planned out as she ought to marry the crowned prince. That is, until one night, pirates came along their harbor and caused mayhem across their city. Where she finds herself in the clutches and at the mercy of a vicious pirate, stowed her away from the life she once knew. But with the time they spent, Vereena has come to ask herself.

Chapter 20: Eye of the Storm

[ —Callum ]

Callum hastened outside his small cabin. Rain fell in torrents, pummeling the deck with large pellets that sounded like drumbeats as they landed. The wind was blowing so hard that it bludgeoned, billowed, and howled menacingly. The crew was hollering at one another to make their voice heard. Callum veered his gaze into the sky. Lightning and thunder have begun to show themselves from the dark clouds that have turned and congregated above them.

Sailing the seas is not always easy and sunny. The weather can be very unpredictable at all times and right now. It seems like they are going to sail through a violent storm. The ship was being buffeted by the strong winds, and a wall of water washed up onto the deck, which resulted in all of the empty barrels being tossed overboard. Some of the new crew members that had just joined him on his ship appeared to be in a state of panic, as they were fleeing and grabbing onto anything they could get a hold of.
