The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 193 - Trust Is A Big Word ((Bonus Chapter))
The fact that she had forgotten the memory for so long did not sit well with her. It didn't seem like something that would have happened naturally. How many more things had she forgotten?For how long had this been going on?!"Are you alright?" Lady Kestra's voice floated to her ears and it was at that moment, she realized that she had been holding her hand in a tight grip, pulling her away from reaching her hair. She didn't even know when she had done that. Alright? No, she wasn't alright.She was realizing too many things at once, the pull from the depth of ignorance she had been sucked into was aggressive. The realization and knowledge that came with it, suffocating.She wasn't alright. They had done something to her. That must be it. Was it the King or Lady Kestra? She had to get rid of her, she had to be alone and figure this out herself. There must be something important about that dream and all the things she forgot, for them to have taken the memories away from her.She ha

She forced her eyelids open, as she grabbed the closest pen and paper she could find, to jot down everything she could remember, scared that if she didn't, then she would fall asleep and lose this memory too.The pen did not work.Arrgh, this pen never worked!Frustration threatened to bust through her, as she raised her hand to throw the pen across the room, but she stopped midair. This pen was a gift from the Market Square. There had been a commotion that night ---a family had tried to kill her --- and a boy had given it to her. She dragged in a long breath, forcing her eyes open, as she dismantled the pen.It never worked because that wasn't its purpose, and she was right. There was a piece of paper wrapped in it.A rushed drawing of three interlocked spiral lines was on it. It was the same tattoo she had seen on Raquel. She said it meant unity, but did it? Seeing this paper made her question it, along with the memories of a purple glow that flooded her mind. Maybe this would b

"Are you done?""Seriously?" A light scoff. "That was the softest I have ever spoken."She shrugged. Honestly, it almost had her.Almost. "I don't know. It sounded a little rough around the edges. Wasn't as hypnotizing as you thought it would be."A light chuckle echoed around her, one that sounded a little distant from her now. She relaxed her hold on her dagger, relieved that she might not have to use it eventually, besides the fact that she would be fighting against the invisible, she didn't even know how to wield the weapon. So, it was good this way. "A little bit of practice and I'll have you wrapped around my fingers.""In your dreams.""Your dreams, of course. Where else?"She gritted her teeth, walking away.His cocky attitude was starting to get on her nerves and if she wasn't in a dire situation right now, she would have plenty to say to that. "I don't have time for this foolery."He chuckled. "You've become difficult but when were you never?"Her feet dipped into the c

The shift had been fast. One moment they were at the beach and the next they were in Eli's little study. She could still remember how he had put her on a table and sealed his lips against hers in the previous room before he had brought her here on that little tour. He had told her he loved her and he had said she didn't understand. She hadn't thought too much about it then but now, she was suspicious. He had told her he loved her many times before that, was he lying before?Belladonna was quick to start her search for the book and the Bride Thief had said he wanted to check out the place. "Everything has changed. Not like I left it."He had said, before leaving. Maybe. It wasn't like she could see him. How exactly had he left the Castle though?Burnt to the ground with Eli's entire family in it. What about the servants, and others that had lost their lives in that fire?She just couldn't trust this man.If there was another way to find out the truth, she would have used that i

There was no place to hide. She watched in horror as the door swung open and Eli bolted in, heading straight for her. "Donna, I---" he paused instantly, his gaze moving from her sleeping figure on the chair and the one kneeling by her side. He didn't need to take his mask off, but she knew that look that flashed in his brown eyes. He had never looked at her like that before. "E---" she started to say, rambling for words to explain the situation, but he drew his sword and the blade felt like a threatening presence at the base of her neck. "Step away from her."What?!Did he not recognize her?"Step away this instant or I shall slit your throat!"The threat in his voice was as clear as day. He would do it.Just a little tilt forward and her head would be gone.It would be clean too. Severed.He stared at her like she was a complete stranger, like he had never seen in his entire life, like she was putting his entire being at risk and he would do anything to save it from her.Like sh

After a couple of checks, the Physician said something to Eli but with the distance between them, she couldn't hear it, although the fury in his eyes when he turned to her was enough explanation. The Physician certainly did not have good news and Eli believed she was responsible for whatever that was.Well, he was incorrectly correct. He approached her, every step promising doom. At that moment, she feared him. It was a foreign feeling, a way she had not felt even during the Choosing Ritual. This fear was just different. It was more cripply.A guard kicked the back of her knees and she fell to the ground, on her face, the impact painful.They pulled her to her knees immediately, her hands helped apart, while one yanked her hair backwards, so her gaze was fixed upward.Her teeth gnashed against one another in pain."You are one of them. The Eye." Eli said, his voice cold and hard. The Eye?That was the group of people trying to kill her, at least that was what she got from the man

The chains went slack around her ankle, hitting the floor with a rattle. "Where have you been?" Her voice was cold and he flashed her a smile. It was an uncanny sight. "I got trapped in a baby."Well, that was the lamest excuse she had ever heard. How could he have gotten trapped in a baby?His hands moved around her other ankle, taking off the chains. She could see how his muscles twitched beneath his cloth again, a low groan made it out of the guard's lips, and in a flash, his eyes were set on her again. Flashing between black and the reptilian one that immediately took charge. "Our energies do not match. I can't last in this body."The chains around her other ankle fell and he leaned in to undo the one around her neck. She tensed up, the distance between them little as he worked on the collar. Staring ahead of her and with her heart racing with fear of the ticking clock loud in her mind, it was getting difficult to breathe, knowing that anytime soon, Eli would burst into t

It was way too easy to slip into the piano room, Eli didn't lock the door. The wonderful melody made it to her ears, just as the naked painting of her on Eli's desk, with her hand in her panties, her thighs inched apart and Eli behind her, entertained her sight. She gulped, looking away.She had totally forgotten that was there.The music had stopped and Eli was on his feet now. He looked a little relaxed in his loose grey shirt, and loose grey pair of trousers. He smelt good too. That earthen smell. He must have just had his bath.It was calming."Do you need anything?" His eyes were observant as they roamed over her body.They hadn't said anything to each other for three days, after that night, they hadn't exchanged a word with depth.A word that wasn't just out of common politeness. She shook her head, coming closer to him. She could see how his shoulders tensed up the closer she got, his face was as calm as usual and his eyes filled with that ever-affectionate gaze. "I was th

“What is this?” Ny'ka asked, racing up to her feet.“The Stones of Prophecy. I already told you,” Ka'el replied, rising to his feet too. He groaned a little, his ribs hurting from the force that had tossed him aside.The stones had suddenly fallen to the ground, scattered; they were still glowing though. “I mean, what do they do?“I don't know!” There was a bit of panic in his voice, then he started to mumble to himself as he fell on his knees and started trying to collect the stones. “The King believes his daughter is in the Rebellion, and there are rumors of the Heir; he thinks they are working together.” He stopped and stared up at Ny'ka who watched him with a frown on her face. “That is why the Moon and the Sun came up in the sky because she is really here? But you said it didn't happen here, that it was from another Realm. It is from another realm, right? It isn’t true, Is it?”Ny'ka tried to grab one of the stones from Ka'el but it held it away from her. “Is his daughter truly
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 114 - Third Death?
Then she felt like she was drowning and her words vanished from her lips. It felt like she was right in the lake and above it at the same time, hovering over the water and looking at the drowning child, while the drowning child looked back at her, struggling. Then she was finally in the baby and she could see Xinora floating over her as she felt herself dying in the baby — felt the baby dying. She saw Xinora stare right at her mother, who froze immediately like she had seen a ghost - it was what she looked like anyway, what she seemed to be. Then Belladonna felt the presence slam right into her immediately. Xinora had vanished and was now inside her as one being, the moment of her almost death creating the perfect space for Xinora to fit in. But just as Xinora had merged into her, she dissolved into the back of her mind like a mere pest fighting against a strong host. Her mother pulled her out of the water, her gaze blank and cold. Without a word, she wrapped her in a piece of clo
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 113 - "Forgive Me." "I'm Sorry."
Trigger warning: Dealing with rape aftermath (from victim’s perspective) on page, and baby drowning on page. _________Belladonna paced the room. Two nights have passed since Alaris and her had discussed about Xinora. The Rebellion was healing, and she had sought out Ny'ka to help her with creating portals; although she knew that it might not work, just as it hadn't been working, but that was just how unpromising Channeling had been, and it had worked eventually. That wasn't the problem though. The thing was that Ny'ka was nowhere to be found. It didn't take long for her to figure out where she was.She was with Ka'el, most likely inquiring about their recent failure.Alaris had confirmed her suspicion, and here she was, in the room, trying not to drive herself mad with every single possibility that was crossing her mind.The Priest had drawn a tattoo on the top part of her chest, a little distance from her neck. He had smeared it with the blood of an animal, chanted some things th
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 112 - Dagger Mind Games
Ny'ka went to Ka'el that night as the Heir had ordered, only to find out that he was with someone. Tsiri?What?What was she doing here? Why was she here? How long has she known about Ka'el? How did she get here?Why was she here?By Ina, what had she told him?!The White glow of the crescent moon above glimmered down on them through the shadows of the scanty leaves of the tall trees around them. The smile on Tsiri’s face was plain for Ny'ka to see, just as obvious as the doubt that dotted Ka’el’s eyes. What had she told him?!“Is it true?” Ka'el asked, his fist tightening around the small bag he had in his hand. She wondered what was in that bag but his next words made her aware of the greater problem she had before her. “Are you just fooling me?” He asked as his free hand anchored around Tsiri’s waist, making her smile widen. Disappointment flashed in Ny'ka's eyes and she frowned, blatantly ignoring Tsiri. “Fooling you? What nonsense are you talking about? And why are you with o
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 111 - Xinora? Belladonna?
“Nightshade, do you have any memories of Jyris?”He was crouching in front of her. This room suddenly felt too small. Where was the air of ease?“No, except that he healed my ankle, gave me that gold ring that you tossed away and he was at the table with the King. Nothing else. I’m trying to but I don't remember anything else.” She wouldn't tell him about the strange feeling of familiarity she had when she had first seen him. That would be too dangerous. “You were in her dreams even when you weren't in captivity. So can you just go into people's dreams? Can you still do that?”“No. Her dream was the only one I could get into without being in captivity. But My freedom does come at a price. It was hard to lure the brides with my soul, and certainly, I prefer this freedom to that.”“Did killing her hurt you? Since the gems are supposed to be a pair.”“I struck her stomach.”“Why didn't you strike her in the heart or behead?”“I wanted to behead her and take her heart as my own; a litt
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 110 - Silent Hanging Words
He heaved a sigh and sat next to her. “Well, it was after being King. I think the wars I had fought strengthened the connection with my gem; the lives I had taken fed it, and I dreamt of Xinora — well, she dreamt of me. It was the first time I would be in anyone's dreams.”Belladonna nodded, taking a mental note of that. “She was crying and lonely, and because the Gem perceived its master to be distressed, it sought a connection and found me. Xinora was terrified when we met; I was confused, too; it was strange. But then, I realized who she was and why I was there. At that time, I really wanted to come back here, to Vestros, but I knew it wasn’t time, I wasn't powerful enough back then.” He paused, before he continued. “The White King would kill me easily, but being in her dreams was like fate being on my side. She was the only weapon that could be used to kill me—”The only weapon?“Wait. Only a Bearer can kill a Bearer?”“Yes.” “So,” she turned to him squarely so she wouldn't mi
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 109 - Important Details
“And you didn't tell me? Why?”“It was over two centuries ago.” He stood up. “She stayed dead during those times, why would I think anything would come out of her now?”Belladonna said nothing and Alaris continued. “With you, I believed she had already been replaced. A new Master, her time was over, gone. The gems will always have their masters, I have discovered. At first, I was worried, but then you proved to be more than one with a mere link.”“I had visions of her. I told you everything.”He shrugged. “I thought it was just her lingering presence since she was the one who was connected to the gem before you. They are just mere visions, they don't suggest a powerful presence to get bothered about.”“You must be joking,” she stated, flabbergasted. “I had dreams of her every time and nothing ever really happened as a result,” he replied with a dismissive tone.“You know that is not true.”“Nothing “real” ever really happened.”With a realization, she stood up. “You are doing it aga
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 108 - Secrets Of The Lake
It felt compelling to desire more, it felt right… yet it didn't.Alaris pulled away being the first one to snap back from the spark pulling them together. “I’m sorry, I shouldn't have done that.” He was gone in a flash, leaving her flustered. She couldn't think; the foreign and overpowering feeling was a driving force that sent her out of the room to go after him. She did, reaching the surface, however, and feeling the warm glow of the moon on her skin. Something else seemed to have possessed her, and she went towards the lake instead, strangely seeking the comforting feeling of the water and the floating relief. The reflection of the full moon was cast over the still water and the trees seemed to create a path for her. She walked into the water as a shadow warrior emerged from behind her; the only one of Alaris' shadow warriors that wasn't killed. It swiftly moved into the water, reaching out to pull her back but she turned sharply to it. “Go Back!” She ordered, her voice a gr
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 107 - Forbidden Move
Breathing heavily, he turned back to her. “I’m sorry— I just— I was afraid that you’ll shift—”“I have been terrified that this day would come but I thought I was stronger, as strong as I was in your Realm. I knew I would be lacking the moment I saw that annoying thing healing your ankle with his flames,” he laughed, the sound dry of humour as he swept his hand over his hair, pushing it back. “At that moment, I knew there were many things that I lacked, many skills, so many things. I might have been a King there but here, I am like a child. I’m not better than any of those dragon shifters. I’m useless.” “You are not.”With a huff, he sat down next to her, feeling exhausted. “My pretense to know what I am doing can no longer save me. I’m fighting a lost war, Nightshade and you can see it.”He turned to her, to find her shaking her head. “Don't lie to me.”“I’m not.”“Alaris—”“Don't try to inspire me, it won't work.” “I wasn't trying to inspire you, I just want to tell you how disap
