In the human world, Isabella was sitting in a chair in front of a huge mirror. She is wearing an expensive designer wedding dress and there are half a dozen make-up artists who are doing her hair and make-up.
A traitorous tear, rolled down her cheeks, much to the displeasure of the make-up artist.
"If you keep crying like this, your makeup would be ruined. This cannot go like this. I will go and call Mr. Cameron" the Makeup artist snapped at Isabella.
Isabella began to panic.
"No, no, please. Don't call him. Please I will stop crying" Isabella begged the bitchy make-up artist.
The make-up artist sneered at Isabelle.
"I don't know what he sees in you. He is a rich millionaire and you are a pathetic young girl. You don't deserve him" she muttered, insulting Isabella to her face.
Isabella flinched.
'She is not sure what he found in her either' she thought bitterly.
Two years ago, a rich man in his late 30's came to the coffee shop, in which she was working as a barista. That's the first time she saw Cameron Davis.
She doesn't give much thought to him. But after two days, he came to her house with a marriage proposal. Her parents told it's her wish.
But Isabella didn't feel good about that guy. So she refused to marry him. But he proved to be something else. He threatened to kill her parents if she didn't marry him.
He forced her to agree, by torturing her parents brutally.
He even beat up her father, until he had to be admitted to a hospital and now he is in a coma. To save their lives, she agreed to marry him.
She was not allowed to visit her hospitalized father or her mother. He kept her under lock and key after that day.
He made arrangements for their wedding and even her wedding dress was selected by him. She begged him to let her see her parents once, but he refused.
He even threatened to kill them, if she insisted. She believes him. Because he is a red dragon. Dragons hold more power in their world and she is just a normal human being.
He waited until she turned 20 and made arrangements to marry her immediately. He tried to take her body as well, but she draws the line there. She threatened to kill herself if he touched her before their marriage.
She wished for a miracle to happen and help her to escape from this marriage. But nothing happened. In a couple of hours, he would marry her and she would become his wife. He can take her then. She would become legally his wife then.
The people around her all are dragons. She is the only human woman, who just turned 20.
She was used to other races looking down upon them, but she never imagined that she would be forced to marry a dragon.
Since the day she saw Cameron beating her father mercilessly, she developed a hatred towards all Dragons. She hated them with a passion.
If at all she was given a chance to kill Cameron, she would kill him without a second thought.
That's when everything happened quickly. A man suddenly appeared behind her, who looked weird with a pointy nose and ears.
The stylists squealed with fear and jumped away from that man.
But the strange-looking man didn't pay them any mind. Instead, he looked at Isabella, straight in the eyes.
With just a flick of his hands, her surroundings disappeared and she found herself in a forest, along with him.
Her head began to feel heavy and she fainted.
Aurora, Arabella's girlfriend stepped out of her hiding spot.
"Oh my fairy goddess, she looks just like Arabella" she whispered in awe.
The fae guy named, Yeshua snorted.
"They do look alike. But this one is straight and prefers men" he supplied helpfully.
Aurora shook her head at his comment.
"Brother, it's not a sin to like another girl" she defended herself.
"Not at all" he drawled lazily, looking at their unconscious captive.
"What do you want to do now?" Yeshua asked impatiently.
"What is so important than helping your sister?" Aurora complained.
"I need to go find uncle Dhari. Elders are bothered about him. He didn't return yet" Yeshua supplied.
"Oh," Aurora said guiltily.
"What do you want me to do next?" Yeshua asked again.
"The brides would be allowed to run into this forest and wait for the dragon whom they like. Arabella would come here as well. Help us to cross to the human world" Aurora requested.
"Ok," Yeshua agreed.
After waiting for 1 hour, finally, Arabella came to the spot where they agreed to meet upon.
When she saw her look-alike, she gasped with shock.
"She looks just like me" Arabella whispered.
"Hmm" Aurora hummed in agreement.
"But I feel sorry for her. Poor thing, she has to marry a dragon" Arabella said sadly.
"It's not a bad thing. I heard they cherish their mates. My brother just rescued her from a marriage she was forced to agree upon. This is not different" Aurora said not at all bothered about Isabella.
But Arabella is feeling bad for her.
"What if some dragon really claims her? What if she revealed that she came from the human world. I don't want her to marry someone she doesn't like" Arabella was feeling bad for Isabella.
Aurora loves Arabella very much. She would do anything to be with her.
"We can hide her if you are so worried about her getting claimed by a dragon. Later when she gains conscience, she would go back to her parents and stay with them being you. In the meantime, we could get married and hide in the human world. No one will stop us there. We can be happy. And she wouldn't say a word to anyone, as she would lose her memories because of the fairy haze. No one would be hurt. Your father would get a dutiful daughter and you would get to be with me. Everyone would be happy" Aurora convinced Arabella.
Arabella nodded her head and they hid Isabella under black mud, just leaving enough space for her to breathe.
To any one who is passing by, she would look like a pile of black mud, not a person.
"You should consider participating in this one. I heard Arabella, the most beautiful half-fae woman is participating in this year's bridal run" my brother Brandon advised.Blaze black remains quiet, without answering his brother. He buttons his black shirt and folds the sleeves a little until the veins in his forearms are exposed.Brandon rolled his eyes at his elder brother's quiet attitude.His brother in his 30 years of age, never shown much interest like Brandon does.Brandon is a playboy, through and through.But Blaze on the other hand is a different story. If he needs a woman, he chooses one and spends a couple of hours with her in his bed, before sending her packing. He doesn't even remember who she was the other day.After taking over the kingdom after their father at 19, Blaze Black attended 11 bridal runs, in which he showed no interest.But Blaze is blaze. He will be silent and speaks if he only wants to. If he is not interested,
Blaze is feeling restless. He came back inside the palace, after the brides ran away into the forest, to wait for the dragon, whom they like. They would be given a couple of hours head start and the dragons would follow the scent of the woman he likes to claim as his bride.The newly mated couples would emerge somewhere around the next day or two. Then, there would be a ceremony that would be held to celebrate their mating.It would be held after two days.It's been a couple of hours and the dragons must have already found their mates. But for some odd reason, Blaze is restless.There is an ache in his heart that is urging him to go out. But he knows he cannot go out tonight.He looked at the Blue Moon that's shining brightly in the night sky. This is the night when a dragon would lose all his senses and claim a woman if he likes her.The Blue Moon rays will the dragon inside them take over and it will not rest until he claims his mate
Her sea-green eyes flicker with awareness when she heard something move. Her soft plump pink lips parted as she tried to cover her body with her small hands.She walked back deeper into the water until the water covers her chest. She looked around her warily, as her reddish-brown hair looks much darker in the water.Isabella is 5.8 and has a curvy figure. Medium-sized breasts, not too small or not too large, perfect for her figure. A small waist and nice shapely hips.Blaze could see her body perfectly through the clear Lake water. It's not hiding anything from his eyes.He is feasting on her body with his eyes.Blaze is well over 6 .4 and with her 5.8 height, she would still look small beside him. His aqua blue eyes scan her from head to toe, finding pleasure in her increased breathing, and rapid raise and fall of her mounds, with the awareness that someone is watching her.But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't keep his eyes away fro
Throughout the night, Blaze took Isabella more times than he could count. No matter how many times he had her, his hunger became more and he started to crave more of her.They slept somewhere around the early morning hours.Isabella woke up with her body hurting everywhere. As the power of the Blue Moon wore off of her, she began to remember everything that happened the previous night.She opened her eyes wide and sat up with a start.She looked around the dim cave and found that she is alone and naked."Is it a dream?" She wondered loudly.The ache and the soreness she is feeling are telling her that it's not."Oh my God, I gave up my virginity to someone last night. Bella, how desperate are you? Why did you sleep with him? Were you drunk?" Isabella scolded herself."I need to get out of here before whoever he is could come back. I think I can still find my soiled dress from last night near the shore" she thought a
Arabella's parents house is a modest 3 storey house, with 4 bed rooms and 5 bathrooms. It's has a garden in front of the house on the right side. On the left side is a driveway for the carriages to come and go.The first floor has a receiving parlour on the right and a kitchen on the left. On the far right corner is the living area and on the left corner is a staircase to go to the upper floors.Isabella stood outside in the garden, confused out of her mind."What just happened? I was standing near that lake. How did I get here?" She thought outloud.A maid who was just coming inside the house, saw Isabella and misunderstood her as Arabella."Miss Arabella? You came back from the run? Come on inside. Your mother and grandmother are waiting for you" the Maid ushered a confused Isabella inside the house.Isabella followed the maid with a confused frown on her face.Elvina is Arabella's mother and Doris is her mother's mother, her grandmo
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 yo
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
