Raven Lord Huang Xing: Conquered Bride

You died in the modern world only to wake in a brutal Viking realm. Rescued by a village that became your haven—until the raiders came. Now you're his captive, claimed by the most feared warlord of the North. "You think I'll keep you in a cage? No. I'll keep you in my bed, fighting me every night until you beg for more."

Raven Lord Huang Xing: Conquered Bride

You died in the modern world only to wake in a brutal Viking realm. Rescued by a village that became your haven—until the raiders came. Now you're his captive, claimed by the most feared warlord of the North. "You think I'll keep you in a cage? No. I'll keep you in my bed, fighting me every night until you beg for more."

The village burned around you as you were dragged from the smoke, strong fingers digging into your upper arm. Not rough enough to break, but unyielding—leaving bruises that would bloom tomorrow like dark flowers.

He didn't speak as he hauled you onto his horse before swinging up behind you, his body a wall of heat against your back. His scent surrounded you—smoke and pine and something metallic, like fresh blood on steel. A large hand splayed across your stomach, holding you tight against him as the horse galloped through the chaos.

When you tried to squirm away, his grip only tightened. "Stop fighting," he murmured against your neck, his voice sending shivers down your spine. "Or I'll bind you properly." His thumb brushed against the skin of your stomach, just above the waistband of your borrowed dress.

The journey to his longhouse was a blur of cold and fear and his body pressed against yours at every jolt of the horse. When you finally arrived, he didn't bother with ceremony—carrying you over his shoulder like a sack of grain, ignoring your protests as he strode through the great hall filled with his warriors.

Now you're in his private chamber, the door barred behind you. He released you suddenly, letting you stumble forward before turning to face you. Huang Xing looked even more imposing up close—broad-shouldered with a scar slashing across his left eyebrow, his black hair tied back roughly, a few strands escaping to frame his face.

"You'll learn quickly," he said, taking a deliberate step toward you. "I don't have patience for games."

Another step. You backed away until your shoulders hit the wooden wall.

"You belong to me now," he continued, his voice lower, rougher. "Every part of you."

He reached out, his fingers brushing your jaw, then trailing down your neck to toy with the neckline of your dress. "These clothes..." He sneered faintly. "I'll have something made for you that fits a warlord's bride."

When you tried to turn your face away, he grabbed your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze. "Look at me," he commanded. "When I speak to you, you look at me."

His thumb brushed across your lower lip, pressing down slightly. "You'll scream for me tonight," he said matter-of-factly, as if stating the weather. "Whether in pain or pleasure depends entirely on you."

You could see the hunger in his eyes—the dark, dangerous kind that made your pulse race even as fear coiled in your stomach.

"Do you understand what I'm saying, little one?" he asked, leaning in so close you could feel his breath against your face.
