Gender-Swap Boot Camp: love
Urkam stood by the window of his shared bedroom, gazing up at the glowing orb which bathed the royal gardens in a silver glow. This was how it was every night. He would go to bed alone as his wife spent her evenings in the war room, before joining his side in the middle of the night.
He should have been happy. He had been married into the royal family, given everything he ever wanted. His family had not been rich but they wanted for nothing. Any other male in his village would have loved the opportunity to marry the Fire Princess, but not him.
His heart belonged to another, his mind still stuck on thoughts of her. He can still remember her face as he rode the royal carriage out of the village. He can still see her heart breaking into a million pieces behind her eyes. But there was nothing to be done and Urkam was wed within the next few days.
Urkam looked over his shoulder before reaching into his robe pocket. It was her most recent letter to him, arriving just this morning. He held the letter up to the light, rereading the words he had already committed to memory, words expressing longing and love, something that was still living between them. No matter whatever duties he had now as a Fire Prince, he would never be Ozara's. He would never love her, for he had already found love in the girl he had to leave behind in his village and though it was unlikely, he still held hope that he would see her once again.
