The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 35 - Creatures Of The Sea
The Dragon’s Realm (The Main Hideout)_____Nyka stumbled into this section of the cave, the sword she had in her hand, dragging against the cage floor and laced with dried-up blood, just as her clothes were stained with the red liquid in too many places than she could count. Her wild curly red hair had managed to slip out of the tight hold she had put it in during the battle. Her fangs extended over her lips, her claws long and sharp. Each breath she took was heavy and filled with rage. There had been an attack in one of their hideouts today, if not for the help that she had received, they would have lost more people than they did. More than they would even be able to count. It was like an ambush. The White King must be finding them more than just a mere inconvenience now. He was paying them more attention than he usually would. If only the people hadn't slacked off in their training due to the false saviour’s brief yet mighty negative impact, they wouldn't have lost anyone. Al
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 36 - On The Bright Side...
Belladonna's eyes widened and she tried to swim back to the surface in fear but in a second, she was surrounded by the sirens. Her eyes darted around quickly and she turned to the one that seemed to be leading them. It was a different one from the siren that held Alaris captive. This one looked older, while the one who held Alaris as her captive was behind her. Their leader stretched out her hand and Belladonna squinted her eyes before a realization hit her.A trade! They wanted a trade. By Ignas, what could she trade?Her eyes moved to the bracelet on her wrist but that was made out of Alaris’ soul. She didn't want to give them that, afraid that they might use it to control him or do something worse. Then she took off the rig Eli had given to her and stretched it to them instead. That was of a lot of value to her and it felt painful to part with it, but she knew they wouldn't accept anything worthless to begin with. It had to be something that held much importance. Also, she st
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 37 - Failures For Traitors
That had been hours ago. Now, they were at the Selection Ground, watching as different lycans tore at each other with their claws and canines while they were seated on the stone bleachers. The moon stood full in the sky tonight. There were torches at strategic points so that they could see everything happening between the barricaded space below where the warriors were fighting. Oana made sure Aniya sat down right next to her. Some of Oana’s friends were there too but this time, none regarded her with disrespect, not even the one she had been introduced to on that day. Instead they just decided to speak in their language and not talk to her. Aniya was grateful for that, she had no time for frivolous discussions. The seating arrangement on the stone bleachers was according to status. At least, it seemed like it. At the top was the Alpha’s seat which was empty. Then a seat lower was the Luna’s seat. She looked elegant in her blue silk dress, like a beautiful and gentle goddess hers
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 38 - Rose-Shaped Earing
“I am no traitor!” Ikrus yelled as different guards rushed up to him to capture him. A guard next to the Alpha yelled.“The Alpha was attacked tonight and the captured traitors declared that they were receiving orders from you, Gamma.”“That is a lie!” Ikrus spoke up, enraged. Aniya looked from father to son. The tension that grew thick in the air felt suffocating. She could feel her hope spilling through her fingers like sand.“To the dungeon.” The Alpha ordered and this time when the guards took Ikrus away, he didn't fight them. Not once did Ikrus look at her while he was taken away to the dungeon. Oana begged for her father to stop them but he didn't listen. While Aniya watched all this, everything suddenly became a distant echo and a realization washed over her like cold water. This was a trap, one that the Alpha made for his son. He didn't want him to participate in the hunt because he knew he would win, and he didn't want him to win because he knew he would request for som
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 39 - Innocent Ula
The introductions were over and some guards came to take the presents away. The Princess headed back to the Stone Bleachers and Aniya followed. While she did, she contemplated pulling the Princess aside and telling her about her suspicions but then she would have a lot of explanation to do.She would have to tell her about the earring and it came into her possession. On the other hand, what if she was overthinking this? What if she was wrong in her suspicion? She would have to give up the only thing she had power over and then she would have no means of escaping this Realm. Besides, this was a Realm she was new too, she didn't know much about how they did things here. What if what she was suspicious of was something completely normal. She kept thinking about this till they were seated at the Stone Bleachers once again.when she finally concluded that she was just overthinking this. The Princess’ friends welcomed her with a smile and open arms. Aniya was once again seated right n
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 40 - Answers Only
Aniya frowned, hiding behind one tent to another, as she moved so that she would get closer and find out about the discussions going on in the tent. It was probably about an attack, an information she would sell at the price of the freedom of her and her son. “---e cannot keep doing this.” Ula protested in a low whisper. “---promised… if I win.” Aniya smiled, glad that she could finally hear them and hoping that they would be too busy to notice her still shadow. Hopefully, the tent was thick enough to hide that away. “There will be consequences if they find out.” “No one will know,” a husky voice said.There was a rustle. Movements. Then muffled sounds that Aniya knew all too well.Aniya rolled her eyes. By Ignas, this was disappointing. Of course, not every volunteer would be sincere with the “sacred vows”. She burst into the tent, catching Ula and her lover, who was behind her, holding her to him with his palm over her mouth.He had his pants down and her dress hiked up to
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 41 - The Coming Of A Rift
“Who gave you the earring? Who is with the other pair?”Ula pointed at the man and he scoffed.Aniya smiled, and adjusted Ula’s scarf. “Good.” Ula trembled slightly, still afraid and unsure of what this interaction might bring. When Aniya offered her a hand, she flinched slightly, eyed it with suspicion and fear before she took it. The moment she was on her feet once more, she let Aniya’s hand go immediately and took a step back. “Face me with whatever accusations you have and let her go.” Aniya ignored him, instead she asked Ula if any child had been brought to the Temple recently to which Ula confirmed that it was true. “He cries a lot.” That brought Aniya no comfort at all. Arlo wasn't the type of child to always cry.By Ignas, what were they feeding her poor son?! Were they even taking care of him?“The Head Mistress tries her best.”That still wasn't enough. It didn't feel enough! The urge to see him rushed over her but from what she had learnt so far, sometimes others wer
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 42 - The Enemy Plans Ahead
Fuck.He didn't have time for this!Alaris covered the distance between them as swiftly as possible. He wasn’t as fast as he used to be and she had managed to take a couple of steps back before he finally grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder as he looked around in preparation to confront any beast that might come out to attack them. “You lied to me. You betrayed me.” Her voice was broken now. She wasn't even fighting him. “Why?” She asked as he continued their journey with her on his shoulder. He just couldn't wait to get out of here already. The thought of ending up with that ugly looking star-shaped creature made him recoil.“We had time.”“Yes and at the cost of a small part of my soul. I think I get to decide on how we use that time.”“They asked for it. I didn't want to give it to them, I told you every–”“I’m losing my dragon. I don't think I can live without him. The quicker we get to the gem, the better for me.” There was silence before he added like an afterthought.

Her stomach rumbled, but it was quiet, and for the sake of her dignity, she hoped that he hadn't heard it. “You don't need the sun, you need food; I know a place.”“Get out of my sun.”“I’ll take you there.” Quickly she was on her feet, his arm along her waist to keep her stable. “Are you even listening or are you just deliberately ignoring me?”“Deliberately ignoring you.” “What? I expect the elderly to behave with more sense,” she jabbed, annoyed with his interference. “There are no elderly here.”In a flash, he is with Arlo. Then before she could tell, they were before a table that must have been prepared for them only moments ago. She was dizzy from the speed but the lovely aroma in the air could not be mistaken; there was food here. She felt Ikrus push her into a chair and she took her seat, blinking to regain her stability and clear vision. When she finally did, she looked around. They were in a kind of glass room with flowers on the ceiling. The table before her was smal
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 101 - "You Are In My Sun Again."
She cleared her throat, changing the topic. “Is my age a problem for you, Ikrus?”He sucked in a deep breath, looking away, still thinking about why he had brought her and Arlo here - still trying to figure out his thoughts. “No. I was merely surprised, that is all.” “I’m not bothered either.” She leaned closer to him, a hair’s breadth between them, catching him off guard with her action. “Don’t worry,” she skimmed her fingers over his hair and he stilled, forcing himself not to move as more of her fragrance consumed his air. “I have always fancied old men.”What?!Old men?!Old men where?!“I’m not old,” he said, clearly offended. “You are thirty-two,” she said as she lay down and closed her eyes. “Exactly. I am not old.”She felt his shadow over her and she sighed, wanting the warmth of the sun on her skin once again. “You are thirty-two… and blocking the sun.”“That is not old at all.” He sounded like he was losing his mind, but his voice was leveled. She shrugged nonchalantly
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 100 - Age Game
She turned to him sharply, wheels turning dangerously in her head already to come up with a lie, her lungs clogging with fear, only for her to discover that he wasn't looking at her but at someone else. “Look! Arlo is walking!” He declared in hushed excitement. Aniya rolled her eyes, taking a deep breath of relief, tucking away the poison bottle. He didn't catch her, she could still kill him. “Arlo can walk.”“For long distances like that?” He turned to her, surprised. “Yes.”“Oh.”“In fact, we must redesign the room to accommodate him. He keeps on trying to pull things down.”Ikrus frowned. In a flash, he was holding Arlo who was strongly protesting against being held. He certainly wanted to play on the ground. “How old is the little one?”“Arlo,” she said, emphasizing his name, subtly ensuring that he wouldn't call him “little one” again, “will be two soon.”Ikrus nodded, taking the information in as he easily moved Arlo from one hand to another in his struggle to get down. “H
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 99 - Poison? Real.
Aniya told her about the strange lily she found in her coin bag while telling her how she had come by it, although leaving out part of the poison, while watching to see if the witch had told Oana about what she was searching for. It didn't seem like the witch told her anything. “I have seen something like that in my room before,” Aniya said. “I’m scared of what it means and I am afraid—” she looked over to Arlo for the umpteenth time, “of harm coming to Arlo or me.” Oana was very concerned and she said she would tell the Alpha and Luna about it so that they could give orders for the Pack House to be thoroughly searched. Then Aniya asked, “What about last night? Why did the sun suddenly come up and merge with the moon?” She rushed to the window. “Everything seems normal now.”“Elder Superior said it was a result of something that happened in another realm. It is none of our concern; our Realm stays unaffected, and all the portals remain sealed.” Aniya panicked.Another realm? Wha
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 98 - Creating Warriors
That night, after they had both eaten, Alaris took Belladonna to a nearby river, where a burning incense was placed on a leaf pad to float away. “It is to let go of the past and begin anew,” he has explained. It was something that helped Belladonna even though she hadn't known she needed it. Her heart felt lighter and with a more positive perspective, she left the river bank.The Belarion Rebellion and the rest of the Cave had fully returned now. Shortly after, Belladonna and Alaris started trying to create the army. They were once again under an open sky. Nyka watched from a distance, just like every one of the dragon people had been advised to do. Her father was right next to her, he wasn't supposed to be here. He was still injured from the torture he had received from the White King’s warriors that had captured him but he was terrified that if he as much took a step from her, the Heir would seize her and kill her. “What do I do?” Belladonna asked, trying to shake off the press
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 97 - Streak Of Silver
[LYCANS’ REALM]The coins vibrated on the floor, clanking as they added to the slight trembling she could feel around her. Aniya’s heart jumped. Quickly, she dashed to her bed and grabbed Arlo, taking him swiftly into her arms. She could hear a bell ringing from a distance. Voices of terrified people seeping into the air, even with her ordinary human hearing, the building chaos felt loud to her.What was going on? Before she could make it out of the room, though, she felt someone sweep her away, and in a flash, she was in an enclosed space, an arm around her, so that she held Arlo between them. She knew it was Ikrus; with such speed and the feeling of momentarily ease that went through her, it could be no one else. She hated the Matebond for many things but for this little ease that she could feel right now, she appreciated it a little. Even if this relief was a lie that everything was alright, it was better than the sheer terror she had been experiencing.The rumbling continued,
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 96 - Lily From The Shadows
Finally, they were under an open sky.The Moon was full in its glory above them. “It is a perfect night,” Ny'ka said before intertwining her with Belladonna's.“Close your eyes.”She obeyed. “Think of the Bearer, of her grave, of her presence, and connect with her.”The Bearer. Belladonna allowed her mind to roam, remembering the silver-haired woman she would always dream about. She had never seen her face so there was no way she could see that. The image was blurry and soon it was nothing but darkness. “Open the windows, open the door,” she could hear Alaris' voice. Then she remembered her way of sealing the windows and the doors of her mind. So many things were happening in her mind. She could see the path to the castle, down to that room, to that sarcophagus, Then she was back in that room again - with the windows sealed and the doors locked.There was a white beam outside the window and a woman with long silver hair that shadowed her face.“Open the doors and the windows!”
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 95 - Beautiful Consequences
“Don't kill me please, I believe now. You are the Heir, you are the savior. I see it.” Ny'ka begged. They were in one of the underground rooms, away from the people of the Belarion Rebellion and those of the Cave. This was something Alaris didn't want many to know about.“Please, take my life instead and spare my daughter,” Leader Tyrek begged. He knew what crimes Nyka had committed, the Priest told him everything.“You tried to kill me,” Alaris said to Ny'ka who was still on her knees, begging, tears running down her cheeks.“It was a mistake. It won't happen again.”Alaris smiled. “It won't.”He held her wrist and pulled her up, but while he did that, he crushed her bones, and pressing his flames into her skin, he healed her, just like he had seen it happen with Nightshade and that stranger in the Castle during their escape.It was an excruciating moment for Ny'ka and it didn't help that he did it again and again and again…By the time he was done, she was back on her knees, breat
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 94 - A Growing Rebellion
The moment the ambush came upon them, some guards had taken Ny'ka and discreetly escaped from the scene. They were headed to the White King’s Castle to be highly rewarded for bringing to him the daughter of the leader of the revolution against him. They were supposed to take Leader Tyrek along too, but it seemed the guards who had him in captivity had been attacked. There would be much to tell the King upon getting to the castle. While they silently snuck away, Ny'ka found a way to free herself from the bondage and attacked them. She would rather die than have them take her alive; it was looking like that was the only option for her until she felt she had until Alaris' showed up. He descended from the sky with his massive leathery wings and he saved her; he killed the guards and swept her up into the air in his arms. In that moment, she saw what the others saw in him. A saviour.In that moment, something changed. “You saved me,” she said, the wind almost stealing her words away
