After 4 weeks, Bella is now sitting on a chair in the receiving parlour. Arabella's father is adamant to marry his daughter off to a suiter.
He began to feel insulted when he found out that his daughter is not claimed by any dragon.
As a famous jeweller, he is feeling insulted that his daughter is not claimed by any dragon. So before people began to talk openly about that, he decided to marry his daughter off to a Nobel rich man from their fairy society.
Bella is feeling uncomfortable sitting in front of this stranger, while he is oggling her like the pastry in his hands.
She discreetly looked towards the door for the other two woman, who begged for her to act like Arabella. They began to call her Bella, and she remembered that strange man on her first night in fairy.
'He too called me Bella' she thought.
But soon let that thought slip to the back of her mind.
'You are not here to stay. As soon as Ari returns, you need to go back to your life. So don't get too attached with anyone' she thought.
She looked at her partners in crime and raised her eyebrows to ask what happened.
Doris just winked at her and Elvina is trying not to laugh too loudly.
That's when Bella understood that they planned something funny with this one.
It's her 4th date since she agreed to stay here. Doris spoiled all the other three with different reasons.
She threatened the first one. Made the second one forget why he came to our house in the first place, and the third one was ran from the entrance itself.
But today, Ari's father Scott is home, and they are not doing anything openly.
'I wonder what they planned with this one' she thought with amusement.
Soon, the fairy guy in front of her started to make faces, holding his belly.
He farted loudly, making Bella laugh out loud, much to his embaressement.
"Excuse me" he said and ran out of the parlour, all the while farting.
As soon as he left, Doris, Bella and Elvina began to laugh loudly.
That alerted Scott and he came out of his office.
"What happened?" he asked with a skeptical expression on his face.
"I think he is not suitable for our Bella. I think he has constipation problems" Doris explained vaguely.
Scott shook his head with amusement.
But when that guy came out of the chamber pot room farting loudly, even Scott began to laugh.
That guy ran out their house red faced.
"Young people these days eat everything and anything" Scott muttered and went back inside his home office.
Doris, Elvina and Bella busted out laughing.
"What did you do?" Bella asked Doris.
"It's a herb which I grow in my balcony. If used in small doses, it will reliev fever and pain. But in large doses, it will cause gas problems for who ever eats it" Doris winked mischievously.
Bella giggled.
"There will never be a dull day with you" Bella pointed out with a smile.
"Don't miss me too much after you go back home" Doris teased Bella.
Bella laughed at that comment.
"Bella, go get that tea leaves Scott began to love. He might need it after this failed date" Elvina told Bella.
"Sure Elvina" Bella replied and went outside.
On the backside of their house is a huge forest, where Bella found tea leaves one day while she was strolling. She bought some home and tried to prepare tea.
Scott, who was used to drinking tea when he was in the human world, came home to the amazing smell of tea and asked for a cup.
When she served with tea with biscuits, he loved it. Since that day, he always drinks tea after coming home from work or when he is stressed.
Doris and Elvina looked at Bella's retreating figure with a soft smile.
"I like her" Doris commented.
"I do too. She is very sweet and understanding" Elvina agreed.
"Ofcourse she is sweet. She is my daughter" Scott commented from behind them, completely misunderstanding the conversation.
Doris and Elvina jumped with fright when they heard Scott's voice.
They turned to look at Scott with huge shocked eyes.
"What?" Scott asked with a confused look.
Both the ladies breathed a sigh of relief.
'So he didn't understand anything' they thought.
"You went inside your office just now. So we were not expecting you here so soon. We were startled" Elvina explained.
"Oh" Scott nodded his head in understanding.
"I came out for some tea. Where is Bella? Tell her to prepare some of her tea for me" Scott said before retreating inside his office.
Elvina and Doris sighed.
"That was close" Doris mumbled.
Elvina looked at her mother with surprise.
"You are picking up Bella's human language" Elvina teased.
Doris giggled.
"Like she says, it's so cool" Doris mimicked Bella's words.
On the other hand, Bella walked inside the forest for the tea leaves.
It's 20 minutes walk from their house and she likes it very much. She always feel refreshed after these walks.
Fairy is devoid of pollution and the air around here is fresh. The leaves, flowers and fruits are more vibrant.
You can see millions of stars at night along with the moon.
No vehicles to pollute the peaceful environment.
Everything here in fairy is either made of wood or stones. There are no concrete buildings wats so ever.
Bella could see so many different birds chirping happily in the forest.
They sing and play with each other happily.
Bella reached the place where she usually plucks tea leaves from and began to pluck a handful of them for Ari's father.
That's when she heard a familiar voice, which made her close her legs tightly and her core to clench for more.
Bella's eyes widened with fear.
His voice deeply ingrained in her mind and refused to leave her thoughts. She even find her release at nights with his voice.
"Oh no. It's him. The stranger I lost my virginity to. Damn, if he finds me, then how can I face him?" Bella thought, her face flamming red.
After his mate escaped, Blaze is hell bent on finding her. He took the addresses of all the bride's that were present that night and left the ones who were claimed by a dragon.He didn't know that there were 210 woman who were participated in this year's run and only 15 of them were claimed by the dragons as their brides.The remaining were sent home to their parents, by the time Blaze returned back. But he know she is not one of them. He saw everyone just before the run.None of them made him feel the way she made him feel. So he decided to search for the entire realm for her.The fact that she ran away after spending a night with him is new to Blaze. Usually woman fall all over themselves to please him. But she is different.The first thing she did after woke up is run away.'Did she know who he is? But then again, even if she doesn't, he is not bad to look at. Why did she run away? She is the first woman who ran away from me. My mat
Blaze nodded his at Doris and retreated to where he left Brandon. He is sure his mate is in that house and that the older lady is lying to him.But he needs to talk to his mate first. He doesn't know what she must be thinking.'If she wants to be with him or not, he is not sure. He doesn't know how he will make her agree to be with him if she doesn't like to be with him. But no one can break their bond, which is already formed. The tattoo on his chest, just over his heart is the proof of that' Blaze thought.Brandon on the other hand is searching for his brother. He took off so fast, Brandon was shocked to find him gone in a second."This is the village. My mate is here" Blaze announced as soon as he found Brandon."Really? Did you found her? Then what's the delay? Let's take her back to the palace" Brandon said excitedly."She is here. But I didn't see her yet. You should go back and take care of things there in my absence. It's not good fo
Blaze is surprised to hear her words.'That night was a mistake?' he thought with amusement.'No my Bella, it's not a mistake. I kept avoiding women all my life, now I like a woman, but she thinks our time together is a mistake? Damn it, woman, how should I make you understand that it's not a mistake? That night, in that forest, it was the night of the bridal run. If she was not willing, then what was she doing there? Isn't she one of the participants? What is going on here? Nothing which happens that night is considered a mistake. Then what is this?' Blaze thought with confusion.'Now I need answers. She is the only one who can answer those questions' he thought.All night, her thoughts and her scent kept assaulting him. He had little to no sleep at all.The next day, he waited for her to come to the forest to collect those tea leaves. But to his disappointment, she didn't. It was almost time for the moonrise when her unique scent assaulted his no
"No" he replied.Bella is shocked."What do you mean by 'No'? I am telling you I am not interested in you at all. I am telling you not to follow me like this. And you are telling me no? What does it even mean?" Bella demanded.Blaze looked at her blankly.'Some thing is wrong here' he concluded."I will tell you what I mean in a moment. But first, you tell me what were you doing at that time of the night in that forest" Blaze asked looking straight in to her eyes.Bella paled hearing that question.'What should I tell him? That I was kidnapped by Ari to replace her in that stupid bridal run? If I do, then it's a disaster waiting to happen' she thought."I was hiding there" she muttered.When Blaze heard her statement, he frowned."Hiding there? From who or from what?" he asked with a blank face."Ahh.. that...yes...From those stupid Dragons" she said hastily.Blaze raised his eyebrows at that comment.
When Blaze heard her reasoning to participate in the bridal run, he was convinced.These kinds of things always happen around here. Not many, but a few here and there. Brides who are not yet ready to get married will be forced by their parents, either for the greed of money or for the status in society. They might even force their daughters to give them a good future.But whatever the reason is, every year a bride or two would be forced to participate in these runs. But usually, they would not be claimed by dragons.Only willing females would be claimed. The Dragons can sense their hesitation even before the run could begin, they make it a point not to go after unwilling females.But his case is different. He got this urgent need to claim her as his. As soon as he saw her that night, that's the only thing that ran in his mind.But now, listening to everything she just said, he does not regret claiming her as his. She belongs to him. He will make h
Bella jumped a little when she heard some noise from behind her.He covered his chuckle with a cough."What was that?" She asked looking all around them for the source of the noise.Blaze decided to tease her a little. He never knows he could have this much fun by just talking to her."Might be one of the ghosts you mentioned" he responded casually.Bella paled at that comment. Slowly she moved closer to him. He noticed it as well."So, you saw any ghosts?" he asked her, trying to find out about how she got this crazy idea.Bella shook her head.No, she is scared of ghosts, but she likes to read ghost stories and novels. She used to sit inside her room and read ghost stories whenever she finds time.She likes to read a lot rather than watch tv."I like to read ghost stories. But I am scared of Ghosts" Bella mumbled.Blaze began to laugh at her explanation."You like ghost stories, but you are scared of gho
Both Doris and Bella made their way inside the house, but just as they were about to enter inside, they heard two sets of male voices.Bella didn't open the door immediately when she heard those voices."Are we having any guests today?" She asked Doris in a low voice.Doris sighed and nodded her head."Yes, he is Scott's best friend's son. He is going to stay here with us for a couple of days" Doris supplied helpfully.Bella frowned when she heard this."Really?" She asked Doris Skeptically.Doris nodded her head.But Bella is not convinced. There is something Doris is not telling her."Come on Doris, tell me everything" Bella insisted.Doris looked at Bella sheepishly."I don't want to scare you off. But yes, there is something else" Doris agreed.Bella frowned.'This is not sounding good, she thought'"Tell me" she prompted softly.Doris is looking uncomfortable."That boy i
Scott looked at his wife with shock.It's so unlike Elvina to insult their guests like this."What is wrong with you Elvina? You are embaressing Murry" Scott said with a frown.Elvina glared at Murry, when Scott was not looking at her."I am not trying to embaress any one dear, but I am just stating a fact" Elvina defended.Scott sighed. He too know his daughter dosen't like Murry. But all his friends are already asking him why no dragon has claimed Arabella. They were all very sure that atleast one girl from their village would become a Dragon's bride. But after Arabella came back with out being claimed, he lied to them that she like someone else to save face.Now he has to make his lie a truth and marry his daughter off as soon as possible. But to his bad luck, no matter who ever comes to meet his daughter, they always ended up being duds.He was left with no other option but to ask his friend to send his son. As Murry always liked A
After one year Bella is holding their six-month-old daughter in her arms. They are surrounded by her parents, Drake and Nyra, Lucas and Lola, Brandon and his mate Stella, whom he met in the human world. They gathered to celebrate Bella's birthday. A year before, on the day of her birthday, she was poisoned. But this past one year is nothing but pure bliss. She got to spend a lot of her time with her parents. As a queen, people of the dark realm accepted her completely. Just like the fairy goddess said, she had to leave the fairy to start her new life as someone else. Lucas met his mother and he embraced her. Lola is a really sweet girl. After so many struggles and ups and downs, Bella and Blaze found they're happily ever after. "What are you thinking?" Blaze asked later that night when all of their guests retired for the day. Bella looked at him with a smile. "Just thinking about how we met and how much we had
After the words spoken by the fairy goddess, all the three of them became even more worried for her. But just like she asked them, they decided to respect her words and not push the subject further. For now, they understood something has happened and the goddess has a limited life span. And more importantly, she is trying to fulfill her duties by the time her life here comes to an end.They want to know the specifics of what happened. As a goddess she usually has an eternity to live. But her words shocked them to their very core. So Blaze decided to honour her words, as he couldn't beat to upset her even more. He now understood why she deviced a prophecy all of a sudden. As a mother she is trying to protect her children as much as she could even after she is gone.Understanding her desire, he agreed to take upon the duties of a dragon elder, just like Drake did. He sat on the throne on the right side, leaving the left one open for the last choosen protector
Bella looked at Blaze with so much love shining in her eyes. He sensed her eyes on him and turned his head to face her. 'I wanted to surprise you, Bella. I know you miss your sister so much. She is the reason why I got an opportunity to find you. I don't want you to miss her and feel sad. So I decided to keep her memories alive through this organization ' Blaze shared through their mind link. 'You keep being so considerate and sweet, and I will become obsessed with you. Then you will be in trouble' she said trying to control her emotions. Blaze's lips twitched. 'You can become as obsessed as you want baby. Because I am already obsessed with your smell, taste, and every little thing that belongs to you' he replied mischievously. Bella smiled widely. Drake and the goddess noticed their sweet exchange. They both have matching smiles on their faces. Drake cleared his throat to catch their attention. Bella turned towar
Blaze is looking at the dead body which is hard to identify. After skinning Stephen alive, he ordered his guards to throw him away in the forest in the middle of Wild animals. After two days, the locals found a dead body of a man, which was mostly eaten away by animals. Now several insects are eating the remnants of the flesh. Bones and just some flesh can be seen on the body. It can belong to anyone but Knows otherwise.This body belongs to Stephen. The Royal armlet that is still hanging to his bony arm is the proof. That is how the locals identified the body. Blaze is now content. He cannot say that he is happy. His happiness comes from Bella. He will be happy when he is with her. Every moment spent in her company is his happiness.But today he served Justice for every bad thing Stephen has done. He is sure his parents would be looking down at everything that is happening here, and they would finally be at peace.Blaze turned away from the body and
Bella woke up to the agonizing screams of a man. She was startled and sat up feeling rather dizzy and sore. For a moment, she has mistaken that voice for that of her father, but soon realized it's not. Blaze looked up at Bella, who is now sitting up on the bed holding her head with a grimace. "Bella" he rushed towards her and hugged her tightly with relief. Bella sagged against him and closed her eyes tightly, feeling disoriented. "How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly, caressing her spine softly. "Fine" she croaked. Her throat is dry and scratchy. She didn't use her voice for the past couple of days and the last thing she remembered is being shot by Stephen. She rubbed the area where she was shot absently. But to her surprise, she didn't find any pain, scar, or even a bandage there. She looked down and found that the area where she is shot is rather soft as if nothing happened to her. As if she was not at all shot
"Bella" the fairy goddess whispered sadly. Bella is lying on the bed unconscious. After Stephen shot her, she lost a lot of blood. The healers in the fairy realm don't have any clue about how to deal with wounds of this kind. They don't know that they should remove the bullet from the body of the injured to stop the bleeding and avoid infection. By the time Blaze recovered from his initial shock and rush her to the human hospital, she lost a lot of blood.They removed the bullet from her body, which was dangerously close to her heart. Luckily it didn't damage her heart. But the trauma of being hit by a bullet and blood loss made Bella weak and the doctors have induced anesthetic medicines inside her body so that they could keep her asleep for a couple of days.The fairy goddess is sad. She spent a lot of time with Bella. She was always lively and active. So now when she saw Bella lying on that bed wrapped up with bandages, her heart is aching."Don't
Blaze and Bella nodded at each other, before slowly walking out of the room. Bella found Stephen is back in the chair on which he was reading something earlier. Blaze nodded at Bella and indicated upstairs. They know where Bella's mother is, but they don't know where her grandmother is.Bella is worried that her grandmother might be in some kind of trouble. They searched all the rooms upstairs, but there is no sign of Doris anywhere."Where is she?" Bella whispered.Blaze has a frown marring his forehead."You told me she was visiting a friend of hers. Are you sure she came back yet?" Blaze asked remembering their conversation from the day of her birthday party.Bella frowned."I don't know. Mom said it might take her a few days to come back. If it is so, then she must be safe" Bella murmured hopefully.Just then, Brandon gave a message to both of them through their mind link.'Healers are now attending Scott. His m
Bella, Blaze, and the others are now standing outside her parent's house. They wanted to bring her parents out of the house before attacking Stephen. "First we need to bring your parents out of the house. Then we can take care of Stephen" Blaze murmured looking at the house where he holds many initial memories with Bella. Bella nodded her head absently. "I will go in and check where they are," she said with determination. Blaze shook his head in denial. "No, we don't know what is going on inside the house. Sending you inside might be risky. I will go instead" he offered. Bella sighed. "I know you are concerned about my safety Blaze. But they are my parents. And I know the house inside out. You don't have that advantage. I know where to shift to stay hidden and observe what's happening inside the house. Let me go. I promise I will not do anything rashly. Trust me please" she said softly. Blaze frowned.
Scott is now lying on a bed in his room, with Elvina by his side. He has a high fever because of the beatings he received from Stephen and Elvina is worried about him. He is barely talking and he is sleeping for the past few hours. Elvina decided to beg Stephen to let her out of the house for some medical herbs. They don't have any herbs to treat wounds this severe.Slowly she made her way out of the room and walked towards Stephen, who is busy reading a scroll. She cleared her throat to catch his attention.Stephen glared at her with annoyance."Now what do you want? Is it not enough that I beat the hell out of your husband? Do you want some too?" he asked impatiently.Elvina wanted to kick Stephen for hurting her husband. But she is weak and is no match for him. So she bit her cheek to control her anger."My husband is running with a high fever. Can you please let me go out of the house for a few minutes so that I can go and bring some herb
