Isadora POVJust as I was about to respond, Golem's body gently began to move as he slowly arose from his unconsciousness. "He's awake," I exclaimed, rushing towards his side.Helping him up into a sitting position, he asked, "What happened to me?"I replied, "It's a long story. Remember the black dust the White Wizard used on you back at the North? Turns out we underestimated its effects on you. Thanks to the ritual performed by this witch doctor, everything will be okay now, and your strength will return even greater than before.""Is that so?" Golem inquired, his voice weak.I nodded in response, saying, "Yes, my love. All that is left is for you to drink some of this blood here." Receiving the calabash from the witch doctor, I passed it over to Golem, saying, "Here you go, have some."He took a quick gulp of the blood, and with a mouth still tainted with the crimson liquid, he asked, "Whose blood is this, by the way?"
Isadora POVThe next morning, I woke up in bed, tired and completely drained of strength. The worst part was that I couldn't remember a single thing, and my whole body felt sore.Still dizzy, I rolled around in bed, trying to stretch my body. When I rolled into what felt like a rock, the sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes as I yelled out, "Golem, what are you doing in my bed!"He gave me a puzzled look, a grin playing on his lips as he replied, "Really, Isadora? Really? You actually want me to believe you don't remember a thing that happened between us last night?" A doubtful expression on his face.I shook my head in response, saying, "No, I don't. What happened between us?" I asked as I grabbed the blankets to cover up my naked body.Golem chuckled, leaning in closer with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, my forgetful queen, let's just say we explored some new realms of passion and love last night."I blushed, a mix of embarrassment and curiosity in my expression. "You
Golem povHer request for a promise caught me off guard, and I found myself searching for the right words."I don't understand you, Isadora," I began, my voice carrying a hint of confusion. "Where is this coming from? What have I ever done to give you such an impression?"She held her ground, her gaze unwavering. "I love you, Golem, but how can I trust that you won't run away from me? If you can run away from your mother, then who am I?"Hearing her say those words, I was taken aback by a whirlwind of surprise as I took a few steps backward, stunned by her response. The weight of her doubt hit me like a tidal wave, and for a moment, I felt lost in a sea of confusion."You just broke my heart, Isadora," I confessed, my voice carrying a mixture of sadness and vulnerability. With that said, I walked towards the wardrobe, Hearing her say those words, I was taken aback by a whirlwind of surprise. Stunned by her response, I took a few steps backward, struggling to find the right words. "Yo
Isadora POVHis sudden change of heart caught me off guard, and for a moment, I stood there, wrapped in his strong embrace, absorbing his words."What?" I stammered, still not entirely comprehending his abrupt shift. "Golem, are you serious?"He held me tighter, looking into my eyes with a sincerity that I hadn't seen before. "Isadora, I'm done running. I want to build a life with you, here in the South. I want a family, and I want it all with you."A mix of emotions flooded through me—relief, joy, and a lingering trace of disbelief. I never expected him to make such a commitment, especially considering his past reluctance. Yet, here he was, declaring his intentions with a conviction that echoed in his voice."But what about your responsibilities as the king of dragons?" I questioned, needing reassurance that this decision wasn't made in haste.Golem brushed a strand of hair from my face, his eyes softening. "I can figure something out. We'll find a way to balance it all. The importan
Isadora POVAs I entered the main chamber excorted by Lisa and Rodrigo who followed closely behind, I was greeted by a completely different sight, not what I had originally expected to see. The chamber was occupied by a bunch of old women putting on a strange looking similar outfit.I was taken aback by the sight, but just before I could ask what was going on, one of the old ladies approached me and spook in a language I couldn't understand, but she made hand gestures, that felt like she wanted me to take off my clothes.I gasped in shock, wondering why and who they were, turning sideways to exchange a look with the chief guard who now let go of my hand, bowed his head smiling mischievously and exited the room alongside Rodrigo, leaving Lisa and me all alone with the old women, a confusing expression perfectly positioned on my face as I exchanged a glance with Lisa.Apparently, this was customary in the South, reading from the handwritings. I hesitated but understood the significance,
Isadora povWith that, the elder declared, "I now pronounce you king and queen of the South." The crowd erupted into a heavy wave of cheers and celebration.The chief guard and Rodrigo stepped forward, both holding golden crowns customized with the finest blend of gemstones that glittered even in the dark.The elder received the crowns one after the other and placed them on our heads, and then he took my palm and pulled out the ring the Queen, put in my finger the day she crowned me as first lady of the South, With that, he proceeded to insert new set of rings all belonging to the late Queen Golem's mother into my finger, with that he declared, "May your reigns be long, and may the peace between the dragons and the South extend for all eternity."Just as I was about to respond, I felt uncomfortable. As I tried to control myself, I suddenly spat out an unexpected vomited, to my suprise and the surprise of everyone else, who stood still like something outwardly just happened.One of th
Isadora POVJust as I opened my eyes, they landed on a familiar set of eyes, ones that caused me so much pain in the past, and I had prayed never to set eyes upon again.I pulled out of the embrace with Lisa, and the smile immediately disappeared from my lips. "What are you doing here? I don't remember sending you an invitation," I demanded."Isadora, please forgive me. Give me another chance to make things right with you. I've learned my lesson, and I learned it the hard way," he responded, going on his knees.I glared at him, a mix of anger and disbelief welling up inside me. "Another chance? You don't get to waltz back into my life and ask for another chance, Eamon. You hurt me more than you can imagine," I retorted, my voice firm.Lisa looked between us, visibly uncomfortable, sensing the tension in the air. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. "You had your chance, Eamon. It's too late now, I've moved on and you should too" I declared, turning away from him, my focus b
Isadoras POVAfter a little while, a doctor walked in with an image in hand and announced, "The Queen is pregnant with twins."A mix of emotions flooded through me as the doctor's words echoed in the room. Twins? It was beyond anything I could have anticipated. Golem's eyes widened, reflecting a blend of astonishment and joy. He gently squeezed my hand, and a smile broke across his face."Twins, you mean not just one pup but two?" he murmured, almost in disbelief, and then turned to the doctor, "Are they healthy?"The doctor nodded, "Yes, both appear healthy and developing well your highness.""We're going to be parents of twins," Golem exclaimed, his voice filled with awe and happiness.I looked up at him, feeling a surge of love and gratitude. "Yes, we are," I replied, my heart swelling with anticipation for the journey ahead.Golem embraced me, declared at the top of his voice the echoes of his excitement, shaking the Foundation of the hospital ." This calls for celebration".As w
Isadora POVIn the months that followed, I enjoyed more peace in my life than I've ever experienced since the day I was born, I know it sounds like a something out of a fairytale but it's the absolute truth, and it was all thanks to Golem's companionship. Life was so much easier around him; he was everything plus even more, more than I could ever ask for and I was head over heels and thankful to the moon goddess.As for Eamon, I never saw or heard from him since that day. It was as if he a whirlwind blew and wiped him off the surface of the earth. He left everything behind—his gold, his Alpha position in the Fire Wolf pack, and the seat belonging to the King of the West was left vacant, he totally abandoned everything.I guess when he said he was changed, he really was telling the truth. But was he truly a changed person? That was one thing I'd never know for certain. With Eamon, you couldn't be so sure, one thing was certain he was lost and trying to find himself just like me.As the
Isadora POVAs Golem was swept up by the revelry, I couldn't shake the feeling of isolation and sadness as I dragged my feet up the stairs to my room, I gazed at the bed, longing for solace.But before I could even take a step toward it, strong arms enveloped me from behind, a hand covering my mouth to stifle any screams. Panic surged through me as a voice whispered urgently in my ear, "Don't scream, Isadora, please."My heart pounded against my chest, fear gripping me as I struggled against the grip. Who was behind me, and what did they want?The voice repeated again, and this time, it sent a jolt of surprise down my spine by its familiarity. The scent, the tone—it couldn't be anyone else.The grip loosened, and I slowly turned around to set eyes on Eamon. Panic surged through me as I struggled against his hold, attempting to scream, but he covered my mouth just in time, pleading with desperation in his eyes."Isadora, come on now," he urged, "we are both adults here, and we both kno
