Introduction

Mina est une duchesse orpheline vivant dans la capitale du royaume de Nodor. Bien que son père soit issu d'une famille d'élite, sa mère était une gitane d'un autre royaume. La haute société d'Athéa méprisait Mina et son apparence exotique, la rendant paria selon leurs normes sociales.

Le commandant Jayden, héros de guerre et bâtard aux origines douteuses et mystérieuses, rentre chez lui pour réclamer sa bien-aimée (qui se trouve être la cousine de Mina, Rosalyn) seulement pour découvrir qu'elle a épousé le prince. Le cœur brisé, Jayden menace de révéler à tous sa liaison passée à moins que Mina n'accepte sa proposition peu conventionnelle. Désireuse de sauver sa famille d'un scandale, Mina accepte cette étrange proposition.

Le jeune commandant bâtard au cœur brisé et au passé mystérieux ouvrira-t-il son cœur et sa maison à Mina après les transgressions de sa cousine qui l'ont laissé anéanti ? Pourront-ils surmonter leurs statuts et leurs passés, ou les secrets de Jayden ruineront-ils tout ? Alors que le compte à rebours vers l'avenir de Jayden approche, qui emmènera-t-il à la mystérieuse cérémonie lors de la nuit du Festival de Litha ? Mina ? Ou Rosalyn ?

Mina a-t-elle enfin trouvé la compagnie et le bonheur qui lui échappaient en tant que fille de gitane dans leur société ? Ou son chemin sera-t-il embrouillé par la controverse, la conspiration et des secrets mieux gardés dans l'ombre ?

Chapter 1

Durant la nuit, la partie haute d'Athea, la capitale du Royaume de Nodor, restait principalement calme à l'exception de la Milice qui patrouillait dans les rues. En bas, au port, construit entre la rivière Eyor—qui divisait la ville en deux—et le grand lac Ucias—d'où la rivière prenait sa source—les choses étaient bien différentes. La plupart des réverbères étaient cassés, et la Milice était rarement présente, en faisant un endroit idéal pour les établissements peu recommandables comme les tavernes et les bordels. C'est devant l'une de ces tavernes qu'une calèche s'arrêta. Une jeune femme, enveloppée dans une cape bleu foncé avec la capuche tirée sur son visage, en descendit.

Après avoir payé le cocher, la jeune femme descendit la rue. Des marins ivres et des prostituées tentèrent de l'arrêter, mais elle garda la tête baissée, ne prêtant attention qu'à ses pas. Des flaques de boue et d'autres substances d'origines douteuses couvraient les rues sales. Quelques minutes plus tard, elle s'arrêta devant une taverne construite au bout d'une rue étroite et sombre, derrière quelques entrepôts.

Avant d'entrer, elle regarda par-dessus son épaule. À part quelques hommes ivres, la rue derrière elle était vide.

Des marins et des voyous locaux occupaient la plupart des tables. L'odeur de tabac était épaisse dans l'air, la jeune femme couvrit son nez avec une partie de sa capuche en se frayant un chemin à l'intérieur de la taverne animée.

Au fond, il y avait une petite table où un homme portant une cape noire était assis, buvant une pinte de bière. Son visage était dans l'ombre. La jeune femme s'arrêta à côté de la table, et après s'être assurée que personne dans la taverne ne la regardait, elle s'assit sur une chaise à côté de l'homme.

L'homme se pencha—comme pour mieux voir la femme. Il but de sa bière tout en l'observant, ses yeux bleus brillant d'intelligence. Il semblait avoir environ dix-neuf ans. Ses cheveux noirs courts étaient en désordre, la chemise sous sa cape était partiellement déboutonnée—comme s'il avait été pressé en quittant la maison. Avec ses pommettes hautes et sa mâchoire ciselée, il pourrait facilement être pris pour un aristocrate s'il n'avait pas eu le piercing sur l'arête de son nez.

Dans le Royaume de Nodor, ceux nés hors mariage étaient considérés comme illégitimes. Les fils et filles de maîtresses, de prostituées, ou de marins et voyageurs ivres—les bâtards—étaient haïs dans tout le royaume, car ils étaient une épine dans le pied, un rappel que les femmes n'étaient pas aussi pures que beaucoup d'hommes le voulaient.

La jeune femme posa ses mains sur la table, l'homme fit glisser sa paume droite sur le bois dur et effleura ses doigts. Un sourire se dessina sur ses lèvres alors qu'il murmurait son nom, "Rosalyn."

Malgré le fait de ne pas avoir été reconnu par son père à la naissance et de ne pas avoir de nom de famille, il était enfin dans une bonne situation. Cela n'avait pas été facile, et il avait dû travailler dur—surtout après la mort de sa mère, mais il avait accompli quelque chose dont beaucoup de bâtards ne pouvaient que rêver—devenir apprenti auprès de l'un des Maîtres les plus respectables de la ville.

Rosalyn regarda nerveusement autour de la taverne. Rassurée que personne ne leur prêtait attention, elle reporta son regard sur l'homme en face d'elle. « Que t'ai-je dit à propos de l'utilisation de mon nom en public ? » siffla-t-elle, la colère brillant dans ses yeux marron. « Et si quelqu'un t'entendait ? »

L'homme ne regarda pas la foule occupée à manger, boire et bavarder. Il aurait su si quelqu'un les espionnait. « Personne ne nous écoutait. En plus, j'adore ton nom. Il est aussi beau que toi. »

Elle plissa les yeux. « Comment sais-tu que personne n'écoutait ? Sais-tu ce que je risque en venant ici ce soir ? »

Il connaissait les risques qu'elle prenait en le rencontrant à la taverne. Les bâtards étaient, après tout, les parias de leur société. Ceux comme lui n'avaient aucun espoir de se marier et de fonder une famille. Ceux comme lui engendraient généralement plus de bâtards—des enfants sans espoir ni avenir. Ce n'était pas ce qu'il voulait pour sa descendance. Il s'était promis depuis longtemps de ne pas laisser sa famille—si jamais il en avait une—endurer toutes les difficultés qu'il avait subies depuis sa naissance.

Il prit sa main dans la sienne et la porta à sa bouche. « Pardonne ma petite erreur, ma Lyn. Cela ne se reproduira plus, » s'excusa-t-il avant de déposer un baiser sur le dessus de sa main.

Ses traits se détendirent et les coins de sa bouche se relevèrent légèrement. « Petite erreur ? » souffla-t-elle.

Dieux, combien il l'aimait. « Tu sais que je ne mettrais jamais ta réputation en danger. »

Rosalyn soupira. « Pourquoi m'as-tu convoquée ici, Jayden ? »

Jayden.

C'était son seul nom, car l'homme qui l'avait engendré avait disparu bien avant sa naissance. La famille qui aurait dû être le droit de naissance de Jayden s'était volatilisée dans la nuit, tout comme son père.

« Nous devons parler, Lyn. J'ai loué une chambre, mais je peux commander quelque chose si tu as soif ou faim. »

Rosalyn secoua la tête. « Je viens de dîner avec ma cousine, » lui fit-elle savoir en levant les yeux au ciel.

Jayden connaissait bien la cousine de Rosalyn, Minerva. Il l'avait vue au port mais ne l'avait jamais approchée, ne voulant pas mettre Rosalyn en danger. Être né dans la partie haute de la ville s'accompagnait de nombreux privilèges mais aussi de nombreuses règles, surtout pour les femmes. Bien qu'il se moquât de ce que Minerva faisait au port, entre hommes ivres et bâtards, il se souciait de la réputation de Rosalyn. Si les Dieux prenaient enfin pitié de lui, dans quelques années, il aurait non seulement un nom de famille mais aussi épouserait l'amour de sa vie.

« Si tu veux parler, fais-le, car je ne peux pas rester trop longtemps. La seule raison pour laquelle j'ai pu venir ce soir, c'est que mon père et mon frère sont au Palais Royal, en train de parler avec le Roi Baswein. Hugo doit partir à la guerre dans quelques jours. Mon père n'est pas très content et il espère que le Roi Baswein changera l'avis d'Hugo. Mais mon frère est très têtu. »

Jayden termina sa bière. « Alors ne perdons plus de temps et retirons-nous dans la chambre. »

Ils se levèrent, et après avoir déposé quelques pièces de cuivre sur la table, Jayden guida Rosalyn à l'étage. En haut de l'escalier se trouvait une porte qui menait à une petite chambre. Jayden ouvrit la porte et Rosalyn entra.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.

"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
