Click here"The third advantage is speed," Heinrich said. He then demonstrated a blindingly fast combination of thrusts that left Ethan very glad he wasn't trying to block a real spear.
"Now, I will show you how to use a spear."
For the entire rest of the day, Heinrich drilled Ethan on the proper use of a spear. His only breaks were for water and food, both of which he gulped down like a man stuck in a desert for too long At the end of the day, he started sparring with some of the other soldiers and promptly got his ass kicked. He lost every single match and none was close.
Later that night, Ethan crawled into the bed at the guard's barracks. Every inch of his draconic body ached from bruises and sore muscles. Beth had wanted to keep his mind of off Alana, and it had worked. He had barely had time to think of her since training began. However, lying in bed both of them came into his mind.
He had two women in head, one he loved and the other he was going to marry. Right then Ethan resolved to be the best possible husband he could be to Beth. She was kind, great company, and thought she would make a great wife. He would try to make her happy in every possible way...
But he missed Alana.
His brain was screaming there was no way to make them both happy.
His heart however...
From somewhere deep in his soul, he had this certainty welling up. He didn't know where it came from, but he had this instinctive certainty that eventually it would all work out. He didn't know how or when, but his dragon instincts told him it was a forgone conclusion; that they would both be blissfully happy at his hand.
He had no idea how it could happen, he just hoped he was right.

Also don't ever do this. Telling us what the ending is practically begging us to stick with it to the good ending. Like a tiktok telling us to wait till the end.
At this point, I like Rachel more than I like Ethan.
Why is he doing all that he does? He is just going with the flow, whatever someone tells him too. He has no agency. He loves Alana but Borden tells him that he has to marry his daughter. And he goes "OK, goodbye Alana hope you get over our magical bond". Even though he loves Alana, another man loves his soon-to-be wife, and he can't even have children with her. Also, Borden is at fault for his and Alana's misery. How does Ethan even stand him? What does he feel about him? Give me something.
And Beth is like "Oh you love another woman who you are magically bonded with that allows you to read each other thoughts, which won't go away, and my father is forcing you to marry me and won't allow us to be in a polygyny(it's polygamy btw) relationship with Alana because he is sexually repressed and creepily feels he can dictate mine and your sexual lives". I just straight don't like her. If they marry she will have his dragon spawn. How did Borden think that that is a good idea? But I guess drama comes before sense.
