The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 197 - Who Are You?
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
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 198 - Quickly Complicated
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 Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 199 - A Little Obstacle
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
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 200 - (Un)Love
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
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 201 - The Black Book
Eli had gone to sleep with a heavy heart, and just as he had been doing for the past three nights, he didn't share the bed with his Donna. He had woken up with a heavy heart too, had his meetings with the same state of mind, so one could imagine how much joy it had brought him when Belladonna told him that she still wanted to see her surprise that evening. The same surprise that he had planned for her, before the coffin incident drove a wedge in-between them.Quickly, he had taken her to the fountain. The one he took her to a couple of months ago. That was her first surprise.For Belladonna, she had been disappointed in herself for not making any headways in her plan last night.How could she ever find out the truth on time, if she kept on allowing her emotions to get in the way?It was a tough life out here and she had to be stronger than that. Pushing her overwhelming feelings aside, she had picked the first way out of the mess she had found herself in. Asking him for her surpris
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 202 - I Really Want To Touch You
She slammed the book shut and pushed it away, turning to Eli who had already made his way into the room with the use of a key. Wasn't he supposed to be in his study? Working with all those scrolls he had piled up for him? They were so much that he had invited her to help.Ah, by Ignas, there was no running from this man."It's a design. I'll do it on my own." Her voice trailed into a whisper when he was barely a step away from her. Her heart drummed wildly in her chest because the book was still within reach. "You should get whatever you need from here. I will fix a study for you on my floor." His gaze fell on the book she had her hand pressed on. "Let us read it together.""No!"He blinked, trying to figure out what that meant exactly. Another distance in their relationship or just light banter?With a swift movement, he carried her, and made her sit on the dressing table, with her thighs inched apart to accommodate his intrusion.She let out a light gasp, puzzled by his choice of
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 203 - A Hint On The Enemy
Something flashed in his eyes, and he moved closer, his hands cupping her face, his thumb trailing the base of her bottom lip. After a moment of deep thought, his lips met hers in a hungry kiss, one she willingly submitted herself to.As he took her lips, her hands wandered down to his pants, grabbing his hardened length through the fabric and giving it a little squeeze. He moaned into their kiss, a groan resonating from his chest, and she took that as an encouragement to do it again. He pulled away this time, burying his face into the crook of her neck, pressing his next moan into her skin, the sound muffled to her ears. Her toes curled at the pleasure that brought her and once again she hated the fact that it had to be tonight."When does it end?"She didn't need to think too much. She knew what he was talking about."Tonight or tomorrow morning."He drew in a long breath and pulled away from her completely this time. She blinked in confusion.What was he doing?"You can come and
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 204 - Goodbyes and Forced Jokes
Clio was Colin's daughter and it wasn't just the Black Book that had confirmed that. Collin had done it too, unintentionally of course. He had confirmed it when he came to her to return all the coins her business had saved with him. His desperate denial when she had asked him about it was obvious, he didn't look as put together as he used to, but he kept calm and collected as much as he could.Why had he lied about their daughter? They told her two different versions of their daughter's story and for each, she had been deeply emotionally attached and affected. It just didn't make sense for them to have lied. Did they think she would be jealous?It made no sense!Belladonna tried to find out more about Clio but Collin insisted that she died on a ship during the storm. When she asked about the letter she had sent to him, he claimed his daughter wasn't Clio and that letter had contained gibberish. It was a lie. She could tell and that was all she needed, so she didn't stop him when h

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
