Golem POV Leonardis mocked further, pulling out a silver blade and pressing it against Isadora's neck, causing blood to drip slowly. He said, "What's the best way to kill a whore? With a blade or..." He paused for a moment his eyes locked on isadora's and continued saying "you don't deserve to die by my blade isadora, I will do it with my fist instead "with that he threw the blade backwards, the blood on it spilling on me, as soon as the droplet of blood made contact with my skin. A surge of power, like that of a million suns, passed through my chest, and my eyes turned red.The White Wizard yelled, "No, Leonardis, that's a..."Before he could finish the sentence, I unleashed a furious storm of fire that consumed everything in its path, including the white wizard. The flames roared, fueled by a rage more intense than ever before.After a few minutes of the continuous firestorm, I finally stopped, shifting back to my human form. As the smoke cleared, the only thing standing in front
Golem POV In the midst of the celebration, a sudden disruption silenced the music and drew everyone's attention. A bolt of fire descended through the night sky, and as the men surrounded the intruder, Isadora and I moved closer to get a better look in the dim light.To our surprise, the intruder was none other than Anastasia, her eyes filled with anger and determination. As our gazes locked, she thundered, "Fire Lord Golem, we are having a baby."The words hit me like a thunderbolt, and for a moment, I was thrown off balance. "What?" I exclaimed loudly, my mind racing to comprehend the unexpected news. Isadora stood beside me, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief.Anastasia, undeterred by the commotion she caused, repeated with emphasis, "you heard me the first time Golem, I said, we are having a baby."I took a deep breath, trying to process the revelation. "Anastasia, this... I didn't expect..."A thought suddenly hit me that this could be a jealousy fit, by Anastasia to mak
Isadora POVAfter what felt like an eternity, Anastasia finally put out her fire, leaving me in a half-baked condition. Only some parts of my clothes got burnt since Golem was in the way and acted as a heat absorber.For some reason I couldn't understand, Golem's weight was heavily rested on me, and he wasn't moving. I tried to push him on his feet to stand uprightly and carry his own weight, but instead, his body dropped to the floor unconscious.My jaws dropped to the ground, and so did Anastasia's and the men who stood on the sideline.Without a second thought, I threw myself to the floor beside his body, carrying him in my arms, desperately looking for any sign of life, but he was not responding. I screamed at the top of my voice, "Golem, Golem, please wake up, my love," but there was no response.My eyes involuntarily landed on Anastasia's face. I could see fear in her eyes as she swallowed hard on her saliva."This is all your fault!" I screamed at the top of my voice, but she s
Isadora POV Anastasia burst out laughing much to my surprise, saying, "What baby are you talking about isadora? Don't tell me you're so stupid to fall for that. Yes, I'm having a baby, but he's not the father."My jaws dropped to the floor as I yelled, completely taken aback by the extent of her lies, "You toothless imbecile..." I cursed.Before I could complete my response, she added, "Yeah, I wanted him all for myself, but give my blood to save his life? Never. Bitch, bye. I'm out of here."With that, she shifted back into her dragon form and flew out through the door, busting it open leaving a trail of fire behind her. I stood frozen on one spot like a log of wood, watching everything happen like a movie, until the chief guard yelled, drawing my attention back to the reality of the moment, "My lady, she's getting away." As soon as I snapped out of the daydream, I barked out a command, saying, "Grab her, don't let her get away."Immediately, ten of Golem's dragon warriors shifted
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
