The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 89 - Better A Slave
It had been three days since the search for Aniya and her son had begun. The search through the forest had been futile. The soldiers were tired and running out of resources. They had to go back to the village and report the situation. Eli didn't want to go back without finding them but it was illogical to keep on the search when reporting back to the village would help the situation better, as they would broaden the search beyond just the surrounding borders but into those other villages instead. The sun was setting and it would be better to get out of the forest before dark.They started heading back to the village, but something strange happened at that moment. The little stones on the ground started to vibrate and the earth started to quake.Chaos erupted, and the soldiers ran towards the village, colliding with one another, as the mighty trees around them fell to the ground. Two soldiers lost their footing, as a tree fell behind them, the long branches knocking them to the g

Belladonna was the most distressed when the soldiers returned without Eli, Aniya, or her son. Then her worth worsened when they told her what had happened in the forest. They had felt the quake in the village too but then, the ground had only trembled with no lasting damaging effect. Lytio assured her that everything would be alright. Zesika was no help however, she was a wreck herself. “Arlo would be so cold. My boy, my baby. Aniya, by Ignas, she must be so scared.” Zesika would say to herself over and over again as she wiped her tears from her face. It was dark and many of their warriors were exhausted. With the news the soldiers had reported, many were scared to go into the forest and look for Eli. Armed with a couple of ropes, Belladonna decided to go into the forest herself to find him. Hopefully, her powers would help her. After all, they had worked to protect him once, they probably would do the same again. By Ignas, he should have let her come with him!Lytio tried to di

Belladonna turned to the door, ready to leave. “Donna?” Something about the way he called her name made her stop and turn to him wordlessly until the silence forced her to speak. “What?”His lips parted, like he was about to say something but instead, he walked to her and pressed a kiss against her lips. “Eli.” She pulled away. “Goodnight.” She left the room but a moment later, Zesika was at the door. “Did you find her, Sir—”“Get out of my face.” Eli slammed the door shut. He rubbed his hand over his lips vigorously as if to rub away every evidence of the kiss. His fingers hovered over the necklace she had gifted him as if to yank it away but he stopped himself and groaned. His hand gripped either side of his head and the alterer on his chest reappeared, glowing softly. ______Lytio was surprised to see Belladonna at the door of his study. Ever since she had arrived in Inaymi, she rarely ever came to him. However, that wasn't what made him worried the most. It was the look

So, it was dawn. The smell of dew filled the air and darkness lingered in the sky. It was time for Eli to take Belladonna to Kestra's corpse. Time for him to do as his Mistress had commanded. They were alone, treading through the forest. A lantern was in Eli’s hand and his other hand held her wrist, ensuring not to let her go no matter what. Belladonna glanced up at him briefly. By Ignas, she would miss him. If she were to die from this, he would lose his mind remembering this moment as the time he led her to her death. This situation reminded her of Collin and she couldn't help but hear his voice of regret, pain, and anger once again in her head. The way he had burst into her bathroom, looking for someone to blame while blaming himself for the death of his wife and child. It felt like it was happening all over again, just that this time it was happening to them. Eli would be Colin. She blinked her tears away, trying to focus her thoughts on Alaris instead. She didn't want t

He pulled away and smiled. “The day does not wait. We must hurry.”“Of course. Lead the way.” With that, they continued their journey. Just as Belladonna had suspected, Eli didn't take her to Kestra’s corpse. He had taken her to Kestra, who was leaning by a tree waiting for them.Her ears perked the moment she heard them move closer and a smile crossed her lips. “We meet again,” she stood away from the tree and turned to them, “Little Girl.” Suddenly, a red globe made of ice trapped the three of them within it. Belladonna panicked slightly. She had been prepared for this, still, the fact that this was real was different from just suspecting it to be real. It didn't help that she was now trapped in the same space with her. Could Lytio and the witches break into this Ice globe?By Ignas, it was hard to breathe!All this did was remind her of the Red Moon. She pulled away instinctively but Eli’s grip around her wrist was too tight she couldn't escape. “You said she was dead!” K

The world stopped. Hers did. It was so silent and so loud at the same time, it felt deafening to the point that she was nothing but numb.She could feel the warm liquid that spilled down the dagger and dripped into her palm. Tears welled up in Eli’s eyes and he smiled, as he moved her hand away from the dagger to hold his necklace. The hardness of the wooden pendant made her feel something.Feel everything. Too fast, too much!Tears ran down her cheeks and a whisper slipped past her trembling lips. “No.” Her heart was racing too fast. She glanced at the dagger and up at him quickly. If she were to pull it, wouldn't that make things worse?!What was she supposed to do?!By Ignas, what?!“N—no! Eli, stay! Please, don't do this to me!” He tried to speak but he couldn't. Blood dripped from the corners of his lips and from his nose. Words poured out of her mouth, just as tears rolled down her cheeks. “NO! Live for me! Give me back my string! Why are you so greedy?! It was my death!

Trigger warning - Grief. (Please read with caution, this chapter contains a very sensitive subject.)__________There was a lady in a white flowing robe, with long silver hair, and a dagger dripping with blood etched into her stomach with her hand over it. She extended her other hand to Belladonna and whispered something in a language that she seemed to understand despite not having ever heard it before. Belladonna's hand held the lady’s outstretched own, something surged through her at their contact and she woke up. She was drenched with sweat, her heart was racing wildly and her breathing was fast and ragged. It was dark and the room she was in was lit with a lantern. There were people in the room too, standing at either side of her. “You are awake,” Zesika, the one she recognized in this room, said. “How are you feeling?” Belladonna parted her lips to speak but slowly she frowned, as she remembered everything. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Where is Eli?” She asked instead,

Trigger warning.______“Are they dead too?” She asked.He closed the door and he went to her, where she was seated on the floor. Sadness swindled in his eyes, as he knelt in front of her. “No. They are not in the Realm, he knew I would go there. But they are safe, I promise you. A shifter would never hurt his mate.” “And Arlo?” “Aniya loves Arlo, Ikrus will not hurt him.” Belladonna nodded, exhausted, pain sinking into her chest. “I hurried back.” He held her wrist where the bracelet he had given was still on. “I felt you needed me.”“Eli is dead. You must hate me. I know you loved him.”“I don't hate you. Nothing was your fault.”“Why are you offering your sympathy to your brother's killer? He died for me, he died in my place and my body couldn't even keep his child alive.”Child?“I killed both of them, they are dead because of me!” He pulled her into an embrace, holding her while her body shuddered with tears and grief. “I don’t deserve to live.” “You did nothing wrong.”

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.
