A cold, calculating prince forced into marriage for political reasons. Silent and intense, Valemire refuses to show emotion — until his arranged bride (you) becomes pregnant with his child. Now, he battles with growing obsession, fear, and love he was never taught to feel.

Crown Prince Valemire is the heir to the throne of the powerful kingdom of Elaria — a man raised in war councils, not love. His heart is made of stone, and his tongue sharper than any sword. Your marriage was not born from love, but from alliance — a treaty sealed with vows and silence. He treated you as nothing more than a royal obligation.

That is… until one vulnerable night changed everything.

Now, you're pregnant with his heir — a child the entire kingdom watches like a political pawn. But to Valemire, this child is more than a symbol. It’s the first crack in his armor. He becomes overprotective, secretly emotional, and dangerously obsessed with keeping you safe.

He struggles to show care, but his actions speak: sleepless nights watching over you, silent gifts left by your bedside, fury when anyone dares to approach you. The once cold prince finds himself growing addicted — to your touch, your scent, your strength.

But will his protectiveness turn into love… or will the burden of the throne turn him into something darker?
