Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Eighty
Ah, so you’re not a total idiot. I scoff and shake my head at my Alder, whose roots I was currently sitting on.It was the day after I had agreed to marry Erik. We had slept in the same bed, but all we did was snuggle and sleep. No matter how much I teased him, he seemed set on waiting for us to be married before he’d go all the way with me, or “deflower” me as he called it. It was nice to know he had self control, I guess. I knew there was no way I was letting him marry some other woman. My eyes flick to Reni, who has taken Chepi’s place for the day, as she had things to plan for the wedding as my personal servant. The wedding was tomorrow night, apparently it didn’t take long to plan an Alva wedding. They had been gearing for this since the second I crossed through that pond portal, so for all I knew, they already had everything set up and ready to go. Are you nervous? Asks the tree. Very. This is for real. I’m marrying an elf man from another world. I laugh out loud and Reni

“Do you regret it?” I ask Reni after a tense moment of silence. She sighs, and hangs her head. “Often. But I love what I do. I love serving Erik, and helping him protect our people. I am of better use to him this way, as it is.” She nods once, firmly, and I imagined her telling herself that line over and over again. If only she’d never had to make such a harsh choice at such a young age. I thought about how even in my old world, women were often not given freewill over their own bodies. In this world, that was even more evident. “Has it always been like this?” I ask, crossing my arms and resting them on my knees. I didn’t want to know something so cold and barbaric about this place I was slowly falling in love with. I wanted it to be perfect, but it clearly wasn’t. And that was why I kept pushing.“Since the species separated, yes.” I tilt my head to the side. “Why did they separate? Something must have happened.” Reni sighs, and finally turns to look at me. She walks over to w

“What happened to Gyrm?” I ask Reni after a moment of silence.She grins evilly. “Erik happened. When he became of age, he challenged his father for his spot leading the Alva. He didn’t have to, Gyrm would’ve been forced out eventually anyways. But he knew he would never really go away, he would always be there. A threat. A problem. Always disagreeing with his diplomatic leadership style.” She glances down at me. I must look scared, because she chuckles a little. “There is no need to worry. I can assure you, Erik is not like his father. I can count the number of times I’ve seen him angry on one hand.” “Why are Alva numbers so important? Why are you forced to breed?” “Has Erik told you of the Ranka?” I nod. “He told me they were the worst of the species. But not much else.”“He isn’t wrong. They are the escaped slaves of Sanju, and their descendants. They’ve gained strength by raping ours and other species woman, killing their babies for blood, and stringing their warriors up as a

It’s cold. Very cold. Where am I that’s so cold? Last I remember I was walking with Reni… I remember getting incredibly hot, the exact opposite of the temperature I was currently feeling around me.“Gudinna? Are you here with me?” I open my eyes, sitting up and smacking my head into something immediately. I back up a little at the sight of Bacudal inches away from my face, his yellow slitted eyes staring into mine. I look around, pushing myself off the floor. “Why am I here? What's happening?” I ask, my eyes flicking to his nest of eggs in the middle of the cold, freezer-like room. “I called you here. It’s urgent.” He came forward again, his eyes darting every which way. “There is a Gud here, on my land.” I watch him as he darts towards his eggs, laying a hand on each one before looking back at me. “I fear he comes for my babies.” My heart stops. “Why would he come for them?” I step forward and he slithers down to me again. “They will imprint on and serve whoever touches them

Despite being totally underqualified, I did as Bacudal instructed, and backed myself into the darkest corner I could find, stretching my ears out to listen. My heart was racing so hard in my chest, I was convinced it was going to burst through my ribcage.The minutes ticked by, and finally, I heard a crash. It sounded like the front door being kicked open. I could feel a bead of sweat rolling down my forehead despite the cold temperature. I swallowed thickly, trying to push my fear down as far as I could. I can do this. I can do this.A childish snicker from Bacudal followed by another slam, a crash. Footsteps coming up the stairs.“STOP!” Bacudal is screaming. Even though he knew the Gud was coming for his babies, I cou

I force my eyes to move to the man who had just killed Bacudal. He's picked up the red eyed dragon by the tail and is looking at it upside down as it cries. His face is contorted in disgust as he glares at it's wiggling body.No. He’s touched it.But they’re not singing yet? It didn't count then, right?As soon as I think that, the two who remain in the nest start making a humming noise, a noise I can only assume is singing. I’d never seen dragons hatch before, so I had no idea what I was supposed to be listening for. This sounded close enough to me, though. I don’t think, just take a breath

“Shit!” I sit up quickly, gasping and frantic as I try to figure out where I am.“My lady!”There were hands all over me, grabbing my face, touching me.“Back up!” I yell without really thinking, and everyone listens. I looked around frantically, trying to find out where I was. Was that real? Was Bacudal really dead? Where were his dragon babies? Had I saved them? My heart was pounding in my chest, and the back of my head hurt from where the man had grabbed a chunk of my hair. I reach back and can feel the tangles and knots. It was real. All that really did just happen.I was on the ground in the middle of the area in front of the common house. I was dresse

We pushed the wedding back a day, to give the dragon babies time to get in. We didn’t want them landing in the middle of the ceremony. It was Erik’s idea, and I was a little surprised. But when he leaned into my ear and said he wanted me to be focused on nothing but him on our wedding night, it made sense again.He was just being a hornball. Meanwhile, all I could think about was how the hell I was supposed to raise dragons. Erik told me everyone would help, so they would really just need love from me. “Dragons need love?” I asked when he said that. He shrugs. “Unless you planned on using them for slaves, without love, a dragon is just a feral creature.” I shake my head. “I would never keep anything as a slave.” Erik smiles. “Then they will come to you for that. Eventually they will gain human forms, like Bacudal did. “I wonder who loved him…” I mused. “You already know the answer to that.” Erik had said. It was Sanju. I was sitting on the window ledge in Erik’s room right n

The next couple of days we spent preparing for Larkin and his men’s arrival. When I say we, I don’t mean Erik and I. It started when we’d addressed the servants together and he’d told them rather flippantly to prepare five rooms for the incoming guests. I remember the moment I realized Erik was not in fact going to be a grown up about this whole thing, and it would in fact be nothing but one giant headache for me.“He told you ten, plus him.” I had said to Erik. I hadn’t thought for a second he had forgotten; I knew he was being snotty about this whole thing still. Which was fine. I get it. But still. I had taken charge, told them no, we weren’t doing that, but to prepare eleven rooms for them. I had told them if we didn’t have enough room, our people could bunk together for a few nights. These people were guests, and coming of their own accord to help protect me. Erik at least had the decency to look bashful when I’d reminded him and the group of that fact. I’d told Erik to run al
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Eight
Erik and Larkin talked for another hour. I got bored halfway through and started organizing Erik’s desk. He had glanced at me curiously when I’d begun, but now I think I had mostly faded into the background of this conversation. Erik’s idea was we should go to where the remaining Gud species reside, confront them head on and get this over with. He said he didn’t want to wait around for him to attack, always looking over his shoulder. Maybe I was stereotyping here, but I found it interesting how Larkin argued against doing that. I guess from looking at them, you’d assume Larkin was the brute, the one who wanted to charge in head first, swords drawn, ready to die. Unfortunately for me, it seemed my new husband fit that role more accurately. Erik’s eyes were alight with passion and anger as he spoke of his plan to sneak onto their land. Then Larkin would point out the only idea Erik even has on what their territory looks like is based on a fifteen year old sketch of a map his father h

“All good?” Erik asks as we walk inside and join him again. He really had been waiting close by; just past the entry way, standing there like he was a guard himself. As soon as I turned the corner, he had gently grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back against his side, like me not being there had been physically paining him. More like letting me talk to the one man who amounted as my ex, but I was trying not to focus on all the awkward tension rolling between the three of us.“Yup.” I nod and smile up at him, standing on tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek. He seemed to visibly relax, which was kind of cute. “He wants all of us to talk about the Gud now though.” I say, tilting my head to where Larkin was lingering behind us, awkwardly looking anywhere but at us.Erik nods. “Yes, yes we should. I would go as far to say it’s impossible to think he’s not hunting you.” His hand that had moved to wrap around my waist as he guided us all somewhere tightened a little at his words. I could te

“I came down here for a reason other than breaking up your cat fight.” Erik calls after me as I walk away from him and back towards the main estate. “Someone is here for you.” I stop then, my heart jumping. “Who?” I ask, not turning to look at him yet. He’s quiet for a moment, then says, “Larkin. He wants to talk to you about Bacudal’s death.” I nod, and take a deep breath. “Okay, take me to him.” Erik walks beside me as we head towards the main estate together now. We don’t say anything at first, then I ask, “how did he… seem?” I glance at Erik.He sighs. “Tense. Angry, impatient. I worry another war with the Gud species over this.” I furrow my brow. Another? “Would you like me to remain with you while you talk?” He asks, looking down at me. I shake my head a little. “I feel like you being there won’t help his irritation any.” “Very well. I will remain close by, just in case he attempts to take you back with him again.” I can hear the edge in Erik’s voice when he talks about L
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Five
"Can you believe her?” I huff as soon as Reni is out of earshot, turning to look at Erik. “I’m not entirely sure what just happened.” Erik says, looking at me carefully, like he was trying not to piss me off more. Smart man. “Your favorite and most trusted guard wants me to make my dragons into slaves, like she does to everyone else around here.” I say, gesturing around at nothing in particular. “I see.” Erik nods a little, looking up to where the dragons are now flying in a circle above me. They had come over when the tension had started between me and Reni. I almost wondered if they would’ve done anything had she returned my attack. “She was insulting me, implying I couldn’t handle my dragons properly, and just being a plain bitch.” I finish, crossing my arms angrily at the memory.“Perhaps you misunderstood what she was trying to get at…” he says, and I narrow my eyes at him. I take back what I said before. He wasn’t a smart man, he was a very dumb one. “Seriously? You’re goin

“Your dragons are proving to be quite the challenge for everyone.” Reni says to me as she closes the distance between us. She has her arms crossed, making her forearms look more defined, and is staring down at me like a kid looking at an ant under a looking glass. I nod a little, looking back up to the three dragons, who are still bickering playfully in the air above us.“Do you have any plans for them?” She continues, still watching me. I have no idea why her words make me prickle a little, but they sure do. Maybe it’s the way she said it, the way she looked up at my dragons like they were some prize. Or maybe it was because I knew for a fact she was perfectly okay with branding people as slaves. Keeping in mind Bacudal’s warning about people wanting to use dragons for their own purposes, her words made me a bit defensive. “No.” Is all I say, meeting her gaze. Even though I had only said one word, she seemed to pick up on my hostility, because her brow raises and she looks a littl

“Lady Delilah, did you enjoy your time with your new husband?” I was back in Erik and I’s room now, getting changed into something more practical. I’d been wearing loose, mostly see through dresses during my time with Erik. I’m sure that was his choice, but it wasn’t exactly appropriate attire for everyday life.It was still early in the day when Erik and I made it back, maybe noon, so I planned on doing something today. At the very least, I wanted to see my dragons. Honestly I was a bit surprised when they didn’t crash into me on my walk up here. I’d been keeping an eye out, bracing myself almost constantly. I was weirdly disappointed when I made it to the main estate without any dragons attacking me. I turn to look at Chepi, and as soon as I see her, guilt floods me. Her hair was frazzled and unbrushed, she had lines under her eyes, and despite the smile on her face, I could tell she was overworked and tired. “Hey, babe.” I say in a concerned tone. “You look like you need a break
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Two
The days after Erik and I’s wedding were mostly filled with us glued to one another, touching, kissing, talking and laughing. I couldn’t keep my hands off him now that I’d had a taste, and he was no different. I wasn’t even embarrassed to say, we had learned every inch of each other’s bodies in the five days we spent locked up together. I’m not even sure we came up for air sometimes.I would’ve stayed locked up in that cabin with him forever, because I knew as soon as we stepped out, it would be back to work. He’d get super busy, especially since he’d been gone for a minute now, and I would get wrapped up with my dragons, trying to uncloak myself, and getting used to this new life I was about to start living.We may not get another minute alone like this for a while.Eventually though, our five days were up, and we left the little house Erik had built for us, and made our way back to the main estate. Erik was already ticking off the things he needed to do, and I was walking beside
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-One
Despite my inexpierence, something about the nervous way Erik is looking at me makes me feel more bold than I ever thought I could be. I sit up on the edge of the bed and grab the back of his hair, gently pulling him down so I can whisper in his ear, “are you going to make love to me now?” I ask him softly. He grunts, and I feel his hands moving to push my mouth against his own, my words forcing him into action. I feel him moving to pick me up by the ass and move me to the center of the bed so he could hover over me. “I can't believe you are my wife.” He mutters, running a finger along the metal plates on my breast. His finger moves up the hem of the see through part of my dress above my boobs, and I gasp when I feel him dig through the material and start tearing it down the middle. “What are-” His hand over my mouth forced me to stop talking. “I want to see all of you, my flower. I want to lick you, everywhere.” I shudder into his arms, white hot pleasure shooting all the way dow
