Sabrina had never experienced heartache before. She didn't know what hurt felt like. She remembered back when she was just a little girl, she wanted to go out and play with kids of her age but her mother prohibited her, for one because she was much higher in class and secondly because the sun could darken her fair skin. Her beauty was as important as her manners and studies. Everything about her was important except her own will. She was treated like a doll, not a human. No matter how much she insisted, her mother didn't let up. She thought she was hurt that day but she was wrong because nothing she had ever experienced before came close to what she was feeling at that moment. Right now, her heart was threatening to break into million pieces. The burn inside her chest was brutal. Her mate didn't want her, what could be more tragic than this. They continued to walk in an unknown direction. Elijah kept his focus on the path ahead. Sabrina halted in her steps when a shadow passe
Sabrina ran mindlessly into the woods. She was missing her family so much. The salty tears continued to fall down her eyes and mix up with the raindrops hitting her face. The rain had intensified, slapping furiously against the leaves. In a matter of minutes, she was soaked completely but she didn't care a bit. Her heart was hurting so bad..so bad that it was getting difficult for her to breathe. The heaviness atop her chest had doubled. How easily he called her selfish. His voice didn't even waiver when he rejected her. In a way, he had rejected her. She couldn't even reject him as his wolf still hadn't appeared, talk about bad luck. Her wolf shared the same agony as her. His words had struck her down hard. "Sabrina, stop," a hand wrapped around her wrist and swiftly wheeled her around. "Where in heaven's name are you off to?" he yelled harshly at her. That brought more tears to her eyes. The cloud rumbled loudly as if reprimanding him for hurting the pure soul. With her meager at
Sabrina felt herself being roughly shoved against the cave wall as the mountain of a man continued to raid her mouth. He wrapped a large hand around her throat and deepened the kiss. He squeezed her throat just enough to warn her off. A whimper rose up to her throat but got lost in his mouth. She tried to push him away but he pushed back and pressed their body together. His hard chest mercilessly crushed her soft breasts. Saliva dripped down their entwined tongue and slobbered over her chest as he continued to force her tongue to mate with his. There was nothing gentlemanly in the way he was eating her mouth. In fact, it was full of greed, wrath, and want. No one could have reconciled this man with the Elijah people knew. This man was hungry and enraged unlike the usual calm and indifferent royal commander. Sabrina had started to feel lightheaded. In desperation, she clawed at his chest, causing blood to spill out, not aware her futile fight was only turning him even more. He let out
Sabrina was wide awake the whole night. Her mind was occupied with one person. The last night Elijah had shown her a completely different side of his. And she would lie if she said it didn't scare her. Who could have guessed the always so reserved warrior was a control freak. It was frightening but so appealing. She believed his dominating side was his real side. It wasn't inculcated in him, it came naturally to him. Men like him are born to rule not obey. She wasn't much experienced in royal business nor did she know anything about Cyrus but she was certain of one thing no one deserved the throne as much as Elijah did. He was a true-born King. Calm and lethal both. The morning crept on her not long before. Elijah returned only when the sun had risen on the horizon. Her heart jumped a beat when she saw him entering the cave. He looked so worn out. She noticed he had also brought some fruits for her. Without saying a word, he placed them next to her. Sabrina took note of bloody bruise
Sabrina and Elijah had utterly different lives. She was treated as a fragile flower, whereas he burned like coal to become unbreakable. People looked up at her with hope and joy, he was used to seeing pity in people's eyes. She knew she was born to be a queen and he was nothing more than just an omega. Her wolf was a blessing, his wolf was just a far-fetched dream. And yet, Sabrina was ready to sacrifice every privilege, every title for him. Sabrina stayed quiet. She didn't want to put any pressure on him. She wanted him to know she was here to listen to him but won't force him into revealing his secrets to her. That was another thing she badly wanted to become a part of all his mysteries and secrets. Elijah swallowed back his hesitation with great difficulty. Sabrina could see how difficult was it for him to open up. Since childhood, he was trained to be a machine made to kill. He had lost his emotions in the process. Elijah hadn't even told her much yet and her heart ha
The morning arrived too soon to put an end to their dream-like night. Elijah, for once in his life, let his heart lead him and slept next to her. And what a peaceful sleep he had. He spooned her from behind and draped his muscular arm over her waist. She looked like a dwarf in his arms. Too small for his massive frame. Her tiny waist was almost the size of his bulging veiny bicep. He buried his face in her blond locks and sniffed her hair which carried a faint smell of lilac. A delicious shudder passed down his spine. At that moment, how much he wished he had a wolf so that he could know her natural scent. She must have a sweet scent probably vanilla or strawberry. Elijah opened his eyes only to find the spot beside him vacant. She wasn't there. The realization slapped all his drowsiness away. He shot up immediately and looked around the cave with a worried look. Fear started to worm into his heart but before he could let it blind him, she finally appeared, bringing relief to his he
Sabrina pulled her hand out of his hold all the while trying to not let disgust mar her composed features. "You are more beautiful than what I had heard," Cyrus smiled strangely at her. Sabrina forced a smile on her face and thanked him for the compliment. Elijah watched everything with a clenched jaw. He absolutely loathed the way Cyrus was flirting with Sabrina."We should go in," Elijah interrupted them in a cold tone. Sabrina was grateful to him for stepping in. Cyrus simply smirked at Sabrina and told her he would see her soon. The king asked maids to usher her into the palace.The palace was even more beautiful from the inside but it held no appeal for Sabrina. No matter how magnificent it was, it was still a cage for her. A golden cage where she was condemned to live her whole life. The maids took her to an equally lavish room. The walls of the room were decorated with gold and had diamonds studded into them. The palace was way too extravagant when there were people outside
Elijah delivered a pernicious punch at the wolf that sent the animal flying in the opposite direction. A loud thud was heard before the wolf bleated into unconsciousness. The rage burgeoning in his heart shone coldly in his narrowed eyes. The other wolf came forward to tackle the seething man but only met the same fate as the wolf before him. A wave of dread spread among the other trainees. His ominous gaze swept across the crowd of trainees, sending a chill down their quivering spines. A heap of unconscious wolves lays at one of the corners of the training ground whereas he stood in the center, covered in blood and it was not his.None had ever seen Elijah this scary. He was not satisfied yet, he wanted more pain, more blood, more screams. It was apparent that the man-beast was not going to be tackled by just one wolf, so a group of werewolves attacked him but only to get thrown like a rug in all directions. The fallen Prince was unstoppable today.After the training, Elijah took a b
Elizah paced restlessly outside the chamber as her screams rattled through the silence. He was tempted to burst in through the door and cradle her against his chest but he was helpless. She was in there delivering their child. Just then a tiny frame brushed past him and towards the door. It was Kaiser. Their first-born. A toy sword in his hand as he rushed towards the door. "Leave my mama alone or I swear I will kill you all," Kaiser hollered against the door. Elizah rushed over to him and lifted him in his arms. The boy thrashed to get free."Do not hurt my mom," Kaiser shouted, still throwing glares at the closed door."Silence, boy," he turned Kaiser's face towards him. The boy frowned and then scowled at his father."Papa, mama is in danger. Why are you not doing anything?" the four-year-old demanded, this time subjecting his father to his glare. His dragon blood had already started to influence him. The boy had his eyes and his mother's blond hair."No, love. Your mother is alr
They both blinked at each other. Elizah was dumbstruck. She broke eye contact to look around her chamber. It is then Elizah got his senses back. He leaped off his chair and dashed out the door to tell the guard to bring in the healer. He also told the maids who were waiting outside to attend to their queen. He stayed outside, letting the maids enter the chamber. A smile broke through his lips. She was awake. He placed his hand on his chest and rubbed it. His heart was galloping like a horse. He was elated but at the same time nervous too. He wanted to see her but his self-doubts were holding him back. What if she still hated him? "How do you feel now, My queen?" he heard a maid ask her. Elizah leaned his back against the wall and waited for her to speak in eager anticipation. He was dying to hear her sweet voice. The one that was devoid of any bitterness. "Just a little headache," she croaked out. Elizah swooned inwardly. She had a voice of an angel. A smile broke onto his lips, no
Elizah remained by her side the whole night, continuously checking up on her fever. She was hot like a scorching iron, running a high fever. The old woman had already warned him against it. She was fighting a life battle right now, the toxicity in her body was resisting the healing potion. Elizah wrung the piece of cloth before putting it on her forehead. Thankfully, she wasn't shivering anymore. "Things are going to get better from here on out. We are going to get better," Elizah told her. He could feel it in his bones. Tomorrow was going to be full of happiness and prosperity. That maid Lina was caught shortly after Georgia's demise. Harriet had asked him to let her deal with the witch. Elizah had agreed. Now that he had his Sabrina with him, he didn't care about anyone any longer.He put his hand on her protruded belly and smiled when he felt their baby's movement. "He is happy too," he raised his gaze to her and chirped, elated. A knock was heard before the door drew open. He d
The volcanic explosion shook the ground, causing Georgia to lose her balance and fall. Elizah who had not expected it was completely blindsided by the sudden attack. Harriet, on the other hand, smiled knowingly. Another heart-stopping noise boomed before the roof was crashed through by a massive creature. Elizah glanced up to find Herone flying overhead in all his glory. He was utterly shocked. The vamp's jaw slacked in pure horror. Harriet rushed and pulled Elizah backward until there was a good distance between them and the fallen witch. Herone roared and a river of fire flowed out of his mouth. In a blink of an eye, the entire hall was caught up in fire. The witch was lost behind the ruthless blazes. Elizah's mind drifted to Sabrina. Fear seized him at once. Is she alright? "Sabrina," his voice trembled as the realization dawned on him. Without wasting a moment, he swiveled to run outside in search of her. Harriet couldn't stop him as he was too fast and sudden. She ran after h
His insides wrenched with pining melancholy when he saw her bound in chains to a cage. What hurt him more was the loathe shining in her eyes for him. "You didn't die?" she rattled violently against the iron bars, gravely disappointed. A pang stabbed through his heart. She wanted him dead. "You obviously failed to do your job, Sabrina. I am so disappointed in you," Georgia replied with a disappointed sigh. Sabrina paled. She dropped down to her knees and joined her hands in a pleading manner. Her importing eyes fixed on Geirgia. "I apologize for my mistake, Queen. Give me one more chance I will finish him for certain this time," Sabrina entreated earnestly. Georgia smirked. Elizah's features crumpled in agony. The woman he loved the most couldn't wait to kill him. "I want you to kill but not him any longer," Georgia started in a riddle. Elizah sent him a hateful glare. He hated this woman to the core. Georgia's smirk widened. Her scheming eyes lit up with something devious. El
Elizah felt like a loser. The only thing he wanted was to keep his family safe, and he failed to do just that. He loathed himself for this. This all happened because of his negligence. She wouldn't have been in danger if he had nipped the problem in the bud. Why? Why did he not take notice of it before it was too late? "Don't beat yourself up for this. Georgia's plan was a failsafe," Harriet tried to pacify him. Elizah knew it wasn't true. The disaster could be averted if he had fucking noticed. "She was struggling for so long and I couldn't see it. She must have felt so miserable, so trapped," a tear escaped his eye. The more he thought about it, the more his heart broke. He couldn't protect her when she needed him the most. Harriet was taken aback by the tears in his eyes. She had never seen tears in his eyes. He wasn't emotionally weak nor let problems weigh down on him. "Remorse won't do you any good. It's time to rescue her. Focus on that," Harriet told him. Elizah nodded his
He tried to roll away but it was too late. The dagger drove through his chest like a bolt of fire but he didn't feel pain for a good second. The shock had numbed his senses. Her fiery blue eyes expressed nothing but deep-seated loath as she twisted the knife so that it hurts more before ripping it out in one brutal go. He grunted in pain. Her response was a devious sneer. "You deserve a death far worse than this," she seethed and struck at him again. This time, though, Elizah edged out by turning on his side in time. The sharp blade plunged into the mattress. Before Sabrina could whip it out, Elizah grabbed her hand which was holding the knife, and prevented her from plucking it out. "Leave me, you scoundrel," she hissed in her venom-laced voice. Elizah didn't allow the hatred in her voice to weaken his resolve. He fixed Sabrina with his deadliest glare and commanded her to release the knife while pressing his other hand against his wound. The pain was excruciating but right now he
In her sweet embrace, he was losing his control. He couldn't keep himself vigilant as she showered him with her kisses. Kisses that he had craved like crazy for all these months. His breathing labored and his eyes fell shut as she kissed every inch of his face. As her dry cracked lips caressed his skin, he couldn't help but feel grateful to the Goddess for creating this moment. He was dying for this moment. He thought he had lost her but she was coming back. His Sabrina was finally returning. He glanced down between them and smiled at the sight of her swollen belly. He put his hand under her belly and stroked it, earning a moan from her. Her melodic voice caused him to look up at her. Her face had lost its chubbiness that he adored with his heart. Her cheekbones were sticking out and her eyes were sunken. And yet, he was mesmerized by her. "I love you," he cradled her face and confessed from the bottom of his heart. Sabrina smiled and urged him to make love to her. He was more than
Days passed but that old hag could also not persuade that dragon monster into setting her free. She was still shackled to her bed, bound and helpless. She couldn't afford to be like this any longer. The voices in her head had turned violent and louder telling her to kill him. She feared she would burst from inside if she didn't do something soon enough. That evening Sabrina used her honey-coated voice to ask her maids to bathe her in scented perfumes and make her look her best. Her request and soft manner of speaking surprised the maids. The woman had long stopped caring about her looks. Her hair was a mess, her lips were cracked and her eyes had dark circles like the shade of night underneath them. They took her to the bathroom and happily washed off all the grime sticking to her milky-white skin. It was after several days, she was taking a bath. As mentioned, she has lost interest in all worldly pleasures. The maids were on cloud nine, assuming Harriet's potion was finally having
