Introduction

Mina es una duquesa huérfana que vive en la capital del reino de Nodor. Mientras su padre pertenecía a una familia de élite, su madre era gitana de otro reino. La alta sociedad de Athea despreciaba a Mina y su aspecto exótico la convertía en una paria según sus estándares sociales.
El comandante Jayden, un héroe de guerra y un bastardo de orígenes misteriosos y de mala reputación, regresa a casa para recuperar a su amada (que resulta ser la prima de Mina, Rosalyn) y descubre que se ha casado con el príncipe. Con el corazón roto, Jayden amenaza con contarles a todos su relación amorosa pasada, a menos que Mina acepte su propuesta poco convencional. Queriendo salvar a su familia de un escándalo, Mina acepta la extraña propuesta.
¿Podrá el joven comandante bastardo, con el corazón roto y un pasado misterioso, abrir su corazón y su hogar a Mina después de que las transgresiones de su primo lo dejaran destrozado? ¿Podrán superar su estatus y su pasado, o los secretos de Jayden lo arruinarán todo? A medida que se acerca la cuenta atrás para el futuro de Jayden, ¿a quién llevará a la misteriosa ceremonia que tendrá lugar la noche del Festival de Litha? ¿Mina? ¿O Rosalyn?
¿Ha encontrado Mina por fin el compañerismo y la felicidad que le faltaban por ser hija de un gitano en su sociedad? ¿O su camino estará envuelto en controversias, conspiraciones y secretos que es mejor dejar en la oscuridad?
****
Mina miró a Jayden, «¡Si me caso contigo, tendrás que dejar de ver a Rosalyn!»
Sus ojos azules recorrían su cuerpo: «¡Cásate conmigo y nunca volveré a mirar a otra mujer!»

Chapter 1

Durante la noche, la parte alta de Athea, la capital del Reino de Nodor, permanecía mayormente tranquila, excepto por la Milicia que patrullaba las calles. En el puerto, construido entre el río Eyor—que dividía la ciudad en dos—y el gran lago Ucias—de donde nacía el río—las cosas eran bastante diferentes. La mayoría de las farolas estaban rotas y la Milicia rara vez estaba presente, lo que lo convertía en un lugar ideal para establecimientos de mala reputación como tabernas y burdeles. Fue frente a una de estas tabernas donde se detuvo un carruaje. Una joven envuelta en una capa azul oscuro con la capucha cubriéndole el rostro, bajó.

Después de pagar al cochero, la joven se dirigió calle abajo. Marineros borrachos y prostitutas intentaron detenerla, pero ella mantuvo la cabeza baja, prestando atención solo a sus pasos. Charcos de barro y otras sustancias de dudoso origen cubrían las sucias calles. Minutos después, se detuvo frente a una taberna construida al final de una calle estrecha y oscura detrás de unos almacenes.

Antes de entrar, miró por encima del hombro. Excepto por algunos hombres borrachos, la calle detrás de ella estaba vacía.

Marineros y matones locales ocupaban la mayoría de las mesas. El olor a tabaco era denso en el aire, la joven se cubrió la nariz con parte de su capucha mientras se abría paso dentro de la concurrida taberna.

Al fondo había una pequeña mesa, donde un hombre con una capa negra estaba sentado bebiendo de una jarra de cerveza. Su rostro estaba en las sombras. La joven se detuvo junto a la mesa, y después de asegurarse de que nadie en la taberna la miraba, se sentó en una silla junto al hombre.

El hombre se inclinó—como si quisiera ver mejor a la mujer. Bebió de su cerveza mientras la estudiaba, sus ojos azules brillaban con inteligencia. Parecía tener alrededor de diecinueve años. Su corto cabello negro estaba despeinado, la camisa debajo de su capa estaba parcialmente desabotonada—como si hubiera salido de prisa de casa. Con pómulos altos y una mandíbula cincelada, fácilmente podría ser confundido con un aristócrata si no fuera por el piercing en el puente de su nariz.

En el Reino de Nodor, los nacidos fuera del matrimonio eran considerados ilegítimos. Hijos e hijas de amantes, prostitutas, o marineros y viajeros borrachos—los bastardos—eran odiados en todo el reino, pues eran un punto doloroso, un recordatorio de que las mujeres no eran tan puras como muchos hombres querían.

La joven puso las manos sobre la mesa, el hombre deslizó su palma derecha sobre la madera y rozó sus dedos con los de ella. Una sonrisa se asomó en sus labios mientras susurraba su nombre.

—Rosalyn.

A pesar de no haber sido reconocido por su padre al nacer y no tener un apellido, finalmente estaba en un buen lugar en su vida. No había sido fácil, y tuvo que trabajar duro—especialmente después de la muerte de su madre, pero había logrado algo con lo que muchos bastardos solo soñaban—convertirse en aprendiz de uno de los Maestros más respetables de la ciudad.

Rosalyn miró a su alrededor en la taberna con nerviosismo. Satisfecha de que nadie les prestaba atención, volvió su mirada al hombre frente a ella.

—¿Qué te dije sobre usar mi nombre en público? —siseó, con la ira brillando en sus ojos marrones—. ¿Qué pasaría si alguien te escuchara?

El hombre no miró a la multitud ocupada comiendo, bebiendo y charlando. Habría sabido si alguien los espiaba.

—Nadie nos estaba escuchando. Además, me encanta tu nombre. Es tan hermoso como tú.

Ella entrecerró los ojos.

—¿Cómo sabes que nadie nos escuchaba? ¿Sabes lo que me arriesgo viniendo aquí esta noche?

Él conocía los riesgos que ella corría al encontrarse con él en la taberna. Los bastardos eran, después de todo, los parias de su sociedad. Los como él no tenían esperanza de casarse y formar una familia. Los como él usualmente engendraban más bastardos—niños sin esperanza ni futuro. No era algo que él quisiera para sus descendientes. Se había prometido a sí mismo hace mucho tiempo que no dejaría que su familia—si es que alguna vez tenía una—sufriera todas las penurias que él había soportado desde el día en que nació.

Tomó su mano y la llevó a su boca.

—Perdona mi pequeño error, mi Lyn. No volverá a suceder —se disculpó antes de besar la parte superior de su mano.

Sus rasgos se suavizaron y las comisuras de su boca se torcieron.

—¿Pequeño error? —resopló.

Dioses, cuánto la amaba.

—Sabes que nunca pondría en riesgo tu reputación.

Rosalyn suspiró.

—¿Por qué me llamaste aquí, Jayden?

Jayden.

Ese era su único nombre, ya que el hombre que lo había engendrado desapareció mucho antes de que él naciera. La familia que se suponía era el derecho de nacimiento de Jayden se desvaneció en la noche, junto con su padre.

—Necesitamos hablar, Lyn. Alquilé una habitación, pero puedo pedir algo si tienes sed o hambre.

Rosalyn negó con la cabeza.

—Acabo de cenar con mi prima —le informó, poniendo los ojos en blanco.

Jayden sabía todo sobre la prima de Rosalyn, Minerva. La había visto en el puerto, pero nunca se había acercado a ella, no queriendo poner a Rosalyn en riesgo. Nacer en la parte alta de la ciudad venía con muchos privilegios, pero con igual cantidad de reglas, especialmente para las mujeres. Aunque no le importaba lo que Minerva hacía en el puerto, entre hombres borrachos y bastardos, le importaba la reputación de Rosalyn. Si los dioses finalmente se apiadaban de él, en unos años no solo tendría un apellido, sino que también se casaría con el amor de su vida.

—Si quieres hablar, hazlo, porque no puedo quedarme mucho tiempo. La única razón por la que pude venir esta noche es que mi padre y mi hermano están en el Palacio Real, hablando con el Rey Baswein. Hugo partirá a la guerra en unos días. Mi padre no está muy contento y espera que el Rey Baswein haga cambiar de opinión a Hugo. Pero mi hermano es muy terco.

Jayden terminó su cerveza.

—Entonces no perdamos más tiempo y subamos a la habitación.

Se levantaron y, después de poner unas monedas de cobre en la mesa, Jayden guió a Rosalyn escaleras arriba. En la parte superior de la escalera había una puerta que conducía a una pequeña habitación. Jayden abrió la puerta y Rosalyn entró.

"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.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
