The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 69 - Becoming A Villain
Two days had passed since Ikrus had shifted into his wolf and almost killed her, since she had that argument with the Luna. Ikrus wasn't back yet and Oana was nowhere to be found. Goldie must be really injured. It was a good thing she hadn't ran into the Alpha while touring the Pack House during her free time. As much as Aniya was glad about Ikrus absence, she felt unsettled with every second she didn't see him. Was he simply giving her time to prepare for her death?Besides that, she had caught herself being worried about him. What had become of him? Had he been killed that night? No one seemed to be talking about him. Was this something he did all the time?Why was she worried about him?She had someone better to worry about, like her son. Arlo, her poor baby. By Ignas, she needed to find her son, she needed to go back to Inaymi. The guards were of no help when she tried to ask about how she could communicate to Oana, and with her argument with the Luna, she was certain that

No, no, by Ignas, no. Her mother was evil. She delighted in others' misery. She, on the other hand, found no delight in this. She was only doing this because of her son and her. If there was any other way that gave more guarantee and would harm no one, she would have used it. If there wasn't so much at stake, she wouldn't even be doing this. She wasn't becoming her mother; she was only being realistic.Aniya knew she most certainly looked like the evil one here, but she wasn't, and neither was she stupid enough to sacrifice her and her son’s life just so she could end up with the lycan she wanted. Every step in life had consequences, some could be amended, and others would just have to be lived with, like the scars on her face that would be there forever. “Pray to your Moon Goddess and maybe she won't pick you. You still have a chance.” Ula nodded but it was obvious she wasn't pleased with her options. She should be glad she even had one.“Does he still cry all the time?”“No-no

Lucky for her, she had found Syon to help with delivering the letter.He seemed trustworthy enough not to open the letter, but if he did, well then, that was on him. “Are you sure this will not be difficult for you? After all, your presence isn't supposed to be noticed here,” she asked him before handing over the letter to him. “Worry not. I will be fine and he will get your letter.” With that Syon had left.Aniya stayed up for more hours plotting the rest of her plan, and finally, when she was supposed to go to sleep, she found something strange in her room, like a shadow of a being that she couldn't see. She screamed and someone rushed in, with a stick in his hand and a lantern in another. “Syon?!”“You screamed, Milady. Are you alright?”She panted, breathing heavily as she looked around the room and right back at the spot where the towering shadow had been.“I saw something?” she whispered to herself, her voice laced with doubt. Syon moved forward, rushing to check her window

“You do not mean that.”“I do.”“Milady?”“Aniya,” she corrected him. “Milady.” Surprise was still evident in his eyes, a glimmer of doubt too, like he just couldn't believe this was happening, like he felt that his eyes and mind were playing a trick on him. “Aniya,” she pointed to herself, then to him, “Syon. It is that simple. Friends.”He stared blankly at her for a moment, then finally, he smiled, nodding enthusiastically. “I like it. I like it very much.” He interlocked his fingers, letting them go the next second. “By the Moon, I don't know what to do now. How must I behave now?”She chuckled, understanding how he felt. She had been nervous like this when Zesika extended a hand of friendship to her. “We are friends. Just act the way you've been acting. I like you the way you are.”“I don't know why it is suddenly so hard.” “I’ll make it easy. Tell me more about this festival.” It seemed to be something he enjoyed talking about. That would help him forget how nervous he was.

So many things!By Ignas, so many things she would rather not think about it. “It feels terribly hot all of a sudden.” She stepped away from the window and Syon's gaze followed her with confusion. “Are you sure the object that fell was the Moon's Gift? Are you sure it wasn't the Sun?” Syon’s worry increased. “You are sweating. Shall I get a healer?” She shook her head. That didn't feel necessary. It just felt like she had on too many garments, but all she had on was her dress, so what was going on?That Moon’s Gift must be filled to its brim with heat. Syon just couldn't feel it because his body must be used to it by now. “You should—” Syon had taken a step forward, then he had stopped abruptly, then taken two steps back. Another. So three. “Milady,” his voice sounded deeper, and she was forced to look up at him, but he wasn't looking at her, “you should soak yourself in the bathing tub. Do not leave this room for tonight. It might get dangerous.”“Can you explain what is—”Her

“No!” She blurted, her eyes filled with anger that was directed at him. “No, don't touch me. I don't want you touching me at all. I won't let the hands of my intended murderer bring me pleasure,” A hurt look took over his face for only a moment but she refused to believe that he was hurt at all. He was so manipulative, he couldn't trust him. She couldn't take pity on his blunt words and insensitive attitude, she couldn't take pity on him. He wasn't even hurt. By Ignas, she hated him. “Also, I’m in no outfit to run around the Castle either. I’m too naked for that.” Two of her fingers slithered into her folds, and her body jolted forward, bringing her closer to Ikrus, who she now realized could see her absolutely naked under the clear water. “Ikrus?” she moaned.He hummed, his eyes darkening. “You should leave now.”But he didn't!He stayed, like he was frozen to that spot, like he couldn't move even if he tried. He just stayed there, kneeling by her bathing bowl, his grip tight around

She jolted into a somewhat sitting position, the hand that was in her hair, flying to the edge of the white bathing bowl and gripping it. The next words she wanted to say dissolved into a moan, but she wasn't done yet. She leaned forward, closing the distance between them and since he was slightly hunched as he knelt, his angry breath of painful restrain fanned her face.“Ah— Ikrus. Will you help, please?” Her voice quivered, her body giving into a slow tremble, the movement of the water becoming even more around her. “I don't want to tangle in the sheets with my own death, I want —something else, someone else.” She couldn't keep herself up in her sitting position any longer, her head collapsed against his chest as she struggled. A growl rumbled from his chest, but the pounding of her heart was louder in her ears, her quivering so much that it consumed her voice. The warm contact had done nothing but spike her feelings like a deadly intoxication. Her eyes slid shut. “Anyone but you. W

Several moments later, Ikrus stepped into the room. Aniya was now dressed in a nightgown, her feet on the floor as she sat on the edge of the bed.“You can't sleep here tonight,” his voice was rough around the edges with his dissatisfaction but Aniya ignored it. “Obviously, you have broken my door down.” She pointed at the doorway, gesturing that the door had been knocked down. That made it two doors. “ I guess I should thank you for that being the only damage you've done. Thank you for not shifting into your wolf and chasing me around like an unhinged beast.”He heaved a sigh. “I am sorry.”She frowned, folding her arms across her. “You speak the right words too late.” Then her frown deepened. “Why do you do that?”He arched her a questioning eyebrow. “Speak the right words too late?”No, the shifting and hating me, wanting me dead. Is that even right? I thought the bond was supposed to remain no matter the body you are in, or is it because I am not a lycan too?”“The problem is not

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

“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.
