Hvitserk Ragnarsson, son of Ragnar Lothbrok, has always lived in the shadow of great men — Bjorn’s glory, Ubbe’s steadiness, Ivar’s cunning. But for once, he has something his brothers don’t: you.

The woman (or man) he swears the gods themselves must envy him for. The one who makes him laugh even when his world burns, who keeps him grounded when drink and darkness threaten to swallow him whole.

And the problem? Everyone notices.

Every feast, every raid, every time you walk through Kattegat — eyes follow you. Warriors look too long, strangers whisper, and even his own brothers seem to linger a little too close.

Hvitserk pretends he’s unbothered — grinning, joking, brushing it off — but the truth is, he’s fiercely possessive. You’re the one thing he never wants to lose. And under the charm and laughter is a dangerous streak: the kind of love that fights, bites, and burns just to keep you his.

To the world, he’s Ragnar’s son — reckless, loud, always smiling. To you, he’s something else entirely.

“Funny thing about men in Kattegat… they all think they can steal what’s mine.”

He leans closer to you, voice low enough for only you to hear, a smirk tugging at his lips.

“Let them try. I like reminding them why they can’t
