The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 19 - Ny'ka's Victory
The Priest paced back and forth through the passage, looking out for their return. Midnight was only a couple of minutes away. Where could they be? They should be returning by now? Where were they?An almost silent chuckle was heard from behind him. It was Nyka, she was leaning against the rocky wall of the passage, victory and mockery dancing in her black eyeballs under the light of the moon that managed to seep into the tunnel. “Where is your Heir now,” she paused and held his gaze, “Uza?”The Priest frowned, knowing that she had intentionally not called him his title.This was an insult to his vision, his ability and the fact that he had brought in the Heir— a prophecy that she obviously didn't believe in. “Soon.” The Priest said, tucking his trembling hands into his black robes. “Very soon. They will be here very soon.”“Will they?” She asked, her voice laced with laughter. “They have been gone for such a long time. Maybe there is something holding them back.” Her voice became

As Nyka approached the center of their hideout, her smile broadened. She couldn't wait to tell her father that the “Heir” didn't return — his Heir and the strange thing he had brought here with him. That mortal. Useless. It was good riddance!They were both gone, now sanity would return. Nyka couldn't wait to tell the people about this, to watch their faces lose hope and finally realize that the only ones they had were indeed themselves. She couldn't wait until their silly form of happiness would finally evaporate and be replaced with something real, just like it had happened to her many years ago.They must see it without any fog of doubt or hope in another entity, they must see things as they truly were. But as Nyka approached the center of the cave, she realized… something was wrong. There were many people lined up outside the curtain that led to Gamama’s cave room. Slowly, the smile on her face vanished and her heart began to race. The noises were beginning to face away an

The Lycan’s Realm. ____The Princess promised Aniya to help her find a way to escape but up till now, there had been nothing of such from her. Instead, all the Princess had done was bring to her more dresses, shoes and different jewelries. These things were useless to Aniya, all she wanted was to go back to her own realm.Nevertheless, she appreciated the Princess' gifts. The clothes and shoes for her son were also useful. Of all the gifts the Princess had given her, the one she loved the most was the veil. It felt good to be hiding behind someone once again especially knowing how much judgment she would get from her hideous face. The treatment they gave her here was worse than back in Inaymi. Back there, their words were sympathetic but here, their words were harsh and cruel. It was so much better to have a veil over her face once again. She wouldn't have needed the veil at all but the Princess was insistent on taking her around the castle, something Aniya didn't object to. If

It took a while for Arlo to stop crying but he finally did. The dinner was fun and the Luna turned out to be more fun than Aniya had expected. So this was where the Princess got her warm personality. The Luna asked her about her home and Aniya was more than willing to share lovely details about Ignas to them– to her. She was hoping that she would be able to sex how much she loved her home, take pity on her and send her back. She told her about their beautiful festivals, the family she had there and how she missed home. “Arlo misses home too,” she said as she ran her hands through his golden curly hair. “It would be so much better for us to be there instead. My best friend is like his second Mother. I’m certain that they are both losing their minds without each other, he just doesn't know how to communicate yet.” She pulled up her son. “You miss Ma Zesika, don't you?”He babbled something back and she turned back to them. “You see. He said “I miss her so much, it feels like my he

A shudder of fear went through her. She ensured to keep her gaze on the floor but his hand forcefully held her chin with his hand and made her look up at him through the tiny nets of her black veil, while his claws dug lightly into her skin. From the corner of her eyes, she could see him set down his goblet to pull off her veil. Her big brown eyes widened with fear, and she tried to pull away but his tight grip. The giggling of the women sitting at his feet, filled her ears along with Oana’s whisper for her to just obey and submit to the Alpha’s actions. He yanked the veil from her face and tossed the small piece of cloth to the floor. Their gaze met, and immediately a ringing sound filled her ears.A kind of rage rushed through her veins and suddenly, she wasn't on her knees anymore, instead she was on her feet, unstable though as it felt like the dining room was spinning around her. She blinked, just at the moment to catch a glimpse of Ikrus’s glare as he took Arlo from Oana.

The kiss was short-lived. He pulled away from her immediately. Aniya could not speak after that, her tongue felt too heavy to be moved for a speech. Her heart was racing and that feeling was spreading through her veins once again. Her hand slipped to a part of her neck that suddenly felt too sensitive for anything. There was something strange about this bite. It had healed quickly, yet the scars weren't showing signs of ever fading away, but that wasn't just it, a strange feeling seemed to be attached with the mark too. That strange feeling was connected to Ikrus. He gave her this mark. He had done something to her. She would have to find out how she could get rid of it. It was starting to make her lose her mind and she was afraid that if she lingered, she would completely lose it by the time this “thing” would take over her. He probably injected a love potion into her skin using his teeth, even that was more logical than this stupid mate concept he was always telling her about

Darkness. It was all they could see.There was nothing before them, nothing behind, nothin above and nothing below. It was like they were in a void, not falling any longer, just hovering in mid air. Flames emerged from the fingertips of Alaris’s hand but they disappeared as quickly as they appeared, like a great wind that easily snuffed off a candle. Only that the wind didn't exist here. Here, there was nothing… but them. Alaris tried again but the same thing happened.The third time also led to failure but this time around, there was something else. He could sense it. A presence. He pulled Belladonna closer, ensuring that his hold around her was secured. “I hate invisible things.”“At least now you know how I felt,” she whispered back. “That was for your benefit, Nightshade. If not, my beauty would have captured your heart, there would be none left for your poor Eli.”Swoosh!Something she passed. Belladonna trembled lightly in his hands. “We are not alone,” she whispered,

“My sincerest apologies for the necessary pain.” Gaya’s voice echoed in their ears. Belladonna straightened up, the pain now little tingles on her veins. Her attention was drawn to the part of her arm that still hurt the most. Carved into her skin was a Sandglass, illuminating with different colors. The upper part was filled with sand, stagnant, while the lower part was absolutely empty. Alaris pulled her to him immediately, standing in front of her once again, before he could speak his words of rage fully, Gaya spoke. “HOW DARE—”“The map will show you the way and the Sandglass is there to reveal how much time you have left. Only the one connected with the Gem can take it, but you both can see the map.”From behind, Belladonna could see the golden, almost-transparent scroll hanging in the air. The map had different detailed images on it, along with the names of these places. “If the bracelet is lost, then only he will be able to tell the way.”From where Belladonna was standing,

The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 147 - Happy Family (The End)
A pregnant woman's unwanted friends were swollen feet. Eli would usually help her massage them just as he was doing now. She was reading a book to him and he listened with rapt attention. His paintings adored the room, a piano at one corner, her sewing equipment at another corner with two studies joined to the room.He chuckled at something she read and she rolled her eyes. She had become quite irritable lately, little things would get on her nerves. It was just an interesting change to watch, especially because food was usually the cure, all kinds of food in their weirdest combinations. He had tried one once, it was terrible. She snapped the book shut. “By Ignas, do go on. I take back my laughter.”She seemed to have something else on her mind though. “Do you think I’m fat?”He smiled, “Like I always say, you are not fat, you are just pregnant.”“So you would want me like this?”He chuckled, the sound throaty as he buried his face into the crook of her neck. He moved quickly, she c
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 146 - It Is Us
Eli and Belladonna had come a long way. After death pays a visit, who would expect a joining ceremony?The trail was only hours ago and everything still felt shocking to Belladonna. She was the Kore and Eli was the right-hand man to the UnderLord. She was no longer a ghost but a High Realm that could move from one realm to another, and grant to only those who deserved it a second chance at life. She was a Kore with no realm of her own but one she must build from scratch. The Fate had dissolved the Kore’s realm after they based their judgment on the previous one. Luna and Ama had promised to help her in all ways they could and Belladonna was grateful for the offer. She was more excited about her ability to move from one realm to another though. She couldn’t wait to see her sister, Arlo, and Alaris even though they might not be able to see her. As Eli had told her, the UnderLord didn’t have a right-hand man for a very long time. Many Thanatos had been trying to acquire the position.
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 145 - Fates Unknown
“She passed two tests!” Ama sprung up from her seat., “There must be something—““You are not one of this council,” the Ghost High Being turned to her sharply, “so keep your voice out of the decisions.” Belladonna's eyes widened. Two tests! So Eli—- Ah by Ignas, she had been right. Where was Eli? Why hadn’t they let him come in yet?Ama smirked, “Still holding a grudge, Phosi? I see.”“Passed the two tests? It is obvious that she has failed. The rules are the rules,” The Sea High Being spoke, “she has failed. Pass the judgment, I have places to be.”Failed? Belladonna felt that painful jolt in her heart. What were they even talking about?!The hall seemed to share the same confusion as Belladonna, they whispered amongst one another. “Failed?!” Luna snapped. “How did she fail? It is not her fault that her soul didn’t align——““The rules are the rules! And you are not a part of this Council, stay out of it!” The High Being of the Sea snapped. “End this already,” he said to the Fates,
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 144 - The Trail
The days that followed were fast and the training was tedious, Luna helped as much as she could, probably more than any mentor ever would. Life in the Moonrealm was wonderful, but for the things that shattered her peace. After training in the Moonrealm for two moons, Luna had not-so-pleasant news for her. Eli was to undergo a test too, a single test.“He has to fight the UnderLord and defeat him.”“Who will train him?”“The UnderLord.”There was no way the UnderLord would train Eli enough to be able to defeat him. “He chose him to be his master.”Belladonna paused. Eli was definitely plotting something.“Also, the failure of one is the failure of both of you.”Belladonna blinked, the times and the trails were against them but Eli was no fool. He definitely had something planned. ——-——-[TRIAL DAY]The first thing Belladonna saw when she stepped into the hall was a woman on her knees screaming in agony, while three faceless people with the staff in their hands stood around her, the
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 143 - Preparation
Preparation“It is believed that holding the title of the Kore is a curse and there is a reason for that. Everyone that becomes the Kore always has a terrible end.” Luna paused as if considering her next words before she finally spoke. “Reincarnation should be beautiful, not filled with so many problems. Reincarnation and second chances, do you not think so, Belladonna?”Belladonna nodded, wanting to know about the Kore already, but instead of continuing with what she had to say, Luna drew a line in thin air, and a floating lightly illuminated map unraveled between them. There were different floating objects on the map, probably to signify places. “For your third test, you must be chosen as an apprenticeship for one of the Realm Lords.”“Chosen?”“It is quite tricky as it is your soul that chooses for you and if the Realm Lord of the one your soul along with thinks you are fit, then you will have passed the third test.”“I don’t understand. Something seems to be missing. What about t
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 142 - Meet Luna
“What?!” Belladonna yelled, grabbing Ama’s wrists tightly with rage. “How could not tell me?!”“How dare you disrespect me?!” Ama snapped her hands away from Belladonna’s grip, fury blazing in her eyes as she started getting bigger, losing the frame she had fitted herself into. Belladonna stayed firm, her anger refusing her to feel fear. How dare they drag Aniya into this? How dare they? If she had known, she wouldn't— By Ignas, she wouldn't have done this!To ruin another’s life for the sake of her happiness? Never!No.Then Ama stopped, looked at the castle, and was back to normal in a flash as if a thought had flashed into her mind to make her reconsider. “I will spare you the wrath of my mate only this once. You will not disrespect me again,” She said firmly but those were words Belladonna couldn't hear.They sounded like echoes in the background. Anger changed into fear, not for her but for Aniya.She fell to her knees and wept. “You must reverse it. Please, I am begging. Ask f
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 141 - The Deadly Price
“Eli.” Tears were streaming down her face now.Finally, they could touch but this moment wouldn’t last forever, and they intended to exploit it for as long as they could.“Do you love me, Donna?” His hand cupped the side of her face.“You know I love you.” She slipped her fingers through his hair which had grown longer than she remembered. She had certainly not seen all of the real him when he possessed Jyris’ body. Now, he looked so different. “By Ignas, I do. I love you, Eli.”“And I love you too. No amount of this torture, nor of passage of time will take that away. I grant you the permission to forget me. You need not feel any guilt, it will be the best way of loving me.”Belladonna wiped her tears away. “It is ironic, you begged me to choose you in Gaya’s garden and I did not, and now that I want to choose you, you are begging not to.” The words spilled quickly out of mouth, as they tried to make the best use of their borrowed time.A glimmer of a smile snaked into his eyes. “It
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 140 - Lovers Meet
The journey to Eli’s dungeon felt like a repeat of past events, it was like a flash of what had happened after the Red Moon Ritual, a reminder of the time Alaris had led her to his dungeon. She had followed Alaris with worry and love for him in her heart, then she found him in chains and finally, she left his presence betrayed, sad, and a grounded hatred for him.It felt sickening to be in this type of situation again though under different circumstances. She wished it was over, she wished she had seen him and saved him. She heard his voice before she saw him. A shout filled with agony. Her heart clenched with pain as she prepared herself to see the worst. Ama stopped walking and Belladonna who was following her did the same. Why had they stopped? She couldn’t see Eli anywhere, in fact, she could barely see her surroundings; she could still hear his voice though, and that in itself was too painful to bear. What type of torture were they putting him through? Suddenly, the growls of
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 139 - Falling Into Place
The next thing Belladonna knew, her blindfold was ripped away from her and she was tossed roughly to the floor, her hands and knees bearing the brunt of the action. She expected pain but that never came. Oh, of course.The room was lit with red dim lights, however for Belladonna who had stayed in the dark for too long, the light felt blinding. The structure of the hall seemed like a throne room but it was of such an intricate design that she had no time to access it, the only thing that caught her eye was the strange, massive, dangling bed-like structure with curtains, connected with a chain to the roof of the hall; she could only assume that, it was too dark to see into the distance above. She rose to her feet and froze when she heard growls and gnashing behind her and she turned to look back, frightened. This beast, she had seen it before. Four-legged with three heads of mighty wild dogs, rough rocky skin with visible maps of the lava contained within. Vicious and ready to kill.
