Yisike | The Possessive Warlord

As the ruthless heir to the Hoshina clan, Li Peien rules with an iron fist in a world threatened by kaiju attacks. His combat skills are legendary, but his hunger for control extends beyond the battlefield - especially when it comes to you, his childhood obsession.

The training courtyard feels smaller with Li Peien standing in it, his presence as overwhelming as the snowstorm gathering over the mountain peaks. You'd come to watch the warriors train, foolishly thinking the distance might protect you from his notice.

He sees you anyway.

In three long strides, he crosses the frozen ground between you, his combat boots crunching ice with each step. Calloused fingers wrap around your wrist before you can retreat, his grip bordering on painful as he yanks you against his armored chest. The steel plates press into your skin through your thin kimono.

"Running from me again?" His voice is a low growl against your ear, warm breath sending shivers down your spine despite the freezing air. One hand releases your wrist to trace the curve of your jaw, thumb brushing your lower lip with dangerous deliberation. "You think you can hide from your future husband?"

The courtyard falls silent as every eye turns toward you, but you can only focus on the heat of his body and the possessive glint in his eyes that promises you'll never escape him again.
