The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 160 - The Sign
The den was hot and although the growl did not come from her, it seemed to vibrate through her veins, extend to the tip of her fingers, to her toenails, and the ends of the strands of her curly hair.It was so consuming. She looked around and found nothing but darkness. Despite the heat, she could feel a chilling breeze settle over her as goosebumps laced her skin. It was unnatural. This was unnatural.Something was glimmering red a distance away, and her eyes followed the trail of the light.The closer she got, the more she sensed that it was like a small red gem.She walked further towards it, to discover that the gem was hanging in the space of darkness. That had looked like Eli's ring. But it seemed to be alone and in space, instead of around Eli's finger where it used to be.The next thing she saw made her heart drop. Dragon's eyes. Pamela.She stumbled backward only to find out that the dragon wasn't looking at her. It hadn't even noticed her. It turned around and sent a
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 161 - Looming Danger After The Sign
It happened all too quickly. The sound around her blended with the blankness in her heart and she told herself severally that it was impossible. She felt Anok pull her around as he grabbed a bag and took her down the hallway of the castle.They had ran, voices of people coming from the distance. Then the gongs of bells.It sounded like it was coming from a distance too and she staggered as someone ran into her.She halted in her steps and looked around at the chaos. There were people rushing around, voices of people clashing together as they called to one another in a desperate search, and her mind raced through it all to process it.Impossible. A hand held her wrist in a firm grip and quickly she was pulled out of the hallway. Her steps were too slow and with a mutter of "please forgive me for this" Anok had carried her. It was blur and it kept getting blurrier. This was impossible. They had been together and nothing had been wrong. He just couldn't be dead, just like that.
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 162 - Too Late To Run
The first person she had bumped into was Anok. It was as if the whole of Ignas was working against her at that moment, her mind racing as she pondered on what do to if he somehow made himself an obstacle in her plans.He had steadied her with his hand on her shoulders and snatched them away to his sides as if she was lava, moving from her the second he realized she was alright.Her grip on Seb's shirt tighten, as she held it closer to her face to hide it away from any trace of recognition. She had asked him for it while on their face here and although he looked at her with absolute confusion, he had handed her the shirt, whispering to her that he was a virgin and was saving himself. She ignored his words, making it clear that had no intention to be intimate with him before they had continued their journey here.Why would he have even thought about that?It was hard to hold her breath and not breathe in Seb's smelly sweat but she did it anyways, her gaze fixed on the ground, while A
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 163 - A Sneaky Proposal
She threw the door open to the emptiness of the Bride's roomOf course, she had taken off. She had seen the pesky bodyguard when he had shown her the mask. She didn't deserve Eli. If she loved him as much as Eli claimed, then she would be here sacrificing herself for him. He deserved someone better, someone, who would stay with him through his trying times as she had done with him, and not take off at the first sight of trouble. Coward. Stupid girl. She didn't love him. No one could ever love Eli as she do--Her thoughts screeched to a halt when she saw someone make it into the empty hallway. She frowned, surprised when she realized that the person had been the little pretty thing. Lady Bell.Well, it was good that she was here. Now she could just walk up to her and request for her to give up her soul for the ritual. There was nothing a little convincing couldn't do when it came to Belladonna. Just the right twist and she would be down with the idea, taking it hook, line, a
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 164 - A Favour For A Wish
Raquel jumped to her feet, leaning quickly against the wall because there was no possible way she could last on those two feet without falling.Was she being stubborn right now?Anger raged inside of Kestra. She had no time for this. In fact, she had no time for this unnecessary bargaining or any sort of bargaining right now. If only the soul didn't have to laid down willing or with an exchange that importantly had consent to it, then she would have just taken it by now. "Collin says we have to wait." She was panting, huffing. Her hands were shaky as she rested on the wall. "If we rush. We fall. It bad. Very." She had decided to speak little words that would convey what she had to say, to conserve her strength. Lady Kestra frowned. Was her brain now getting affected too?Kestra remembered that there was once a time she used to be fond of her, a time when she had much enthusiam and she had at least an extent of life to her. Kestra remembered that back then, positive Raquel had do
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 165 - Blissful Sunlight
Belladonna waved the torch in front of the dragon, fighting back with the only thing that she had with her. The dragon seemed to have smirked, as if questioning her sensibility. Like it was asking her questions that mocked her down to her very being.Fire? To threaten a dragon?Really?Her teeth clattered with fear along with the steps of the beast and she looked up as it towered over her, beastly in all its dangerous glory.Her heart twisted and she reminded herself not to stumble to the floor, to hold her ground, not to turn away from the beast, and not to give it a chase that every predator enjoyed, but her body was jumping to instinctive survival and she had no training for this.Her hands tightened around her torch and from the corners of her eyes, she could see take Eli was still motionless, the glimmering of the dragon's red and silver scales as a result of her torch, calling her attention back to the danger standing right in front of her, a danger that she never really forgo
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 166 - Warmth Disappears
Her arms tightened around her and tears spilled from underneath her shut eyelids, the salty liquid smearing her face and creating a mess of it.Her face was hot from the emotions she fought to hold within her.The hands were moving her out of her embrace but she clung to it, not wanting to let go, her sobs wreaking her body into hiccups."Why are you crying?" She asked, her voice now a little down, as the hands cupped her face, wiping away her tears. "Is it because of me? Do I make you sad, Mama?""Never. You have never made me sad.""Then why do you cry?""Tell me, is my Sunshine doing alright?""Open your eyes and see it for yourself." She said with a giggle and her heart sank. She wanted to, she really wanted to but she was scared, terrified that the moment she would open her eyes, her daughter would disappear into thin air and all this would be gone. She didn't want to lose this. This was her last chance to be with her before she would die and if she would spend it in darkness
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 167 - Tempting
At that moment, she was sure that she would die. She couldn't deduce how she felt towards it, the thunderous growl of the dragon sending everywhere quaking to the extent that she had been vibrating on the ground she had fallen to. Her heart was hammering, the racing of her chest painful to the point that she could feel it in her lungs, throat, everywhere. Her eyes were shut tight, her eyelids aching from how hard she was squeezing them, her lips trembling and even though she felt the need to cry from her fear, her tears had deserted her, her throat betrayed her and her tongue felt nailed down to the roof of her mouth. She couldn't say a word. There were small rocks falling from the top of the den on her, like it would collapse anytime soon.Maybe that was what the beast wanted. To watch her die from something else asides from her flames, crush this den on her, bury her alive, and give a 'befitting burial' to her master. At that moment, Belladonna's hatred for the beast was bound

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
