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. Has he really taken her as a captive, or has he set her free from the rigid society she lived in? WSA Theme: Historical

Chapter 25: Not a Girl!

[Vereena]

It's been a week now since we were stranded on the island. Also, it's been a week since I keep declining Callum's invitation to join them on their expedition deep into the jungle to gather food and the woods they would use to repair the hull.

While I, on the other hand, I offered to clean the cave with the fruit's peelings and husks from the last meal before they returned, as that, I can only do to make myself useful.

It was all good, and I have no complaints about any of it until today.

"You're coming with us, caileag," Callum stated with finality soon after we finished eating our breakfast. Which consisted of freshwater fishes, bananas, guavas, some wild berries, and coconut water.
