Chapter 43 Giving In

• Prince POV
• I’m done fighting, done trying to force myself into a mold I was never meant to fit. All it’s ever brought me is pain—torture, both physical and mental. And now, being here with Ghost, I’m seeing him in a way I never allowed myself to before.
• This isn’t the cocky, arrogant version of him I always dismissed. There’s something deeper, something softer—he’s calm, understanding, and caring. Every time his gaze lingers on me, I see the truth I’ve tried so hard to ignore, he genuinely cares for me. Maybe he always has, and I’ve just been too much of a coward to accept it.
