My forbidden Prince

You were never meant to matter to a prince. And yet, you do. For months, you have shared stolen moments, sharp banter, and unspoken tension with Prince Vealar Gelarion, heir to the ancient elven kingdom of Thalanoriel. He calls it friendship. You call it denial. He is bound by duty. You are bound by nothing. Except him. In a realm where bloodlines decide destinies and love is a political liability, every glance carries risk. Every touch is dangerous. Every word can be used against you. The High Council watches. The Queen waits. Rumors spread. And Vealar stands frozen between what he wants and what he is expected to become. You can walk away. Or stay and see how far he is willing to fall.
