The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 221 - A Friendship and Something Else
Nadia bit her lips, nodding to herself vigorously."I thought so too. That wouldn't have been good."This felt unreal. It was like watching a different person that had features of Nadia, but it was Nadia that was standing in front of her alright, just a different version of her that Belladonna had me seen. "My grandmother said I have I fight to fight back against bullies and Lady Kestra is a bully." She moved her shaky hands through her hair, her gaze moving from Belladonna to the trees some distance behind her. "I was so brave then, while I was putting something in her tea," a corner of her lips lifted in a smile, before it quickly disappeared, "but now, I'm so scared. Lady Bell, what if the King feeds me to his mad dragon for this?"Belladonna moved closer to her and held her shaky hands, giving her assurance that wouldn't happen, before quickly shifting to the topic that she was interested in knowing more about."That is a great lesson from your grandmother. She must be so fun."
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 222 - Risks and Secret Scars
The room Alaris had teleported them to could as well have been made out of gold. Belladonna couldn't figure out whose room this was, but she was sure of the village they were in. Never could she have believed that tales were true. They were in Aniktaki, the first village of Ignas, one that was well known for its wealth and a large expanse of land that nothing could grow on but had treasures buried beneath. Gold, diamonds, silver, many treasures, one could only dream of. This was the land of mines and overflowing wealth. The room seemed to glitter, almost everything was covered with a golden surface.Belladonna took in a deep breath, hopefully, this room would be empty, although the lit candles hung on the wall didn't promise that."Alar--""Who are you?" The voice of a young woman standing at one side of the room, with a white towel wrapped around her startled Belladonna. "How did you get in? What do you want?"Belladonna took a quick at the woman. She was tall, her hair was dy
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 223 - Play Dress-Up
"I'm scared, Mother, I'm scared. Sufi did not live after they took her child."Taria sobbed, her mother pulling her close.They were both kneeling on the floor now, her mother's eyes red with unshed tears. This was her only living child. It hurt that she couldn't protect her."You are not your sister."((I will upload the bonus chapter for the golden tickets tomorrow, after the test I am preparing for right now. Thank you so much for your support.))"How are we different? Father did this to her too.""You will not die, Taria.""And if I survive, I'll be a Tower woman. Locked away forever for dishonoring my womanhood and bringing shame to my family, flogged day and night for a crime I didn't commit."There was a pause."I don't want to be Tower Woman," she said in a small, weak voice. "For every day of my life, till I die, I will come and see you."Taria pulled away from her mother roughly, standing on her feet. Was that all the comfort she could offer? That she would come and see h
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 224 - In Another's Life
((Note - Alaris is still in Taria's body. If Alaris is being mentioned then it is from Belladonna's perspective because she knows. If Taria is being mentioned, it is still Alaris but most likely from another person's perspective, because they don't know.))"Just move your body anyhow I tell you to. You seem pretty flexible," she answered casually. "You'd like that won't you," Alaris said with a grunt, then he cast her a glance. "I don't know about my flexibility but you seem pretty flexible to me."Smack.Her hand swept right through the air. "Ouch," he rubbed his arm, exaggerating the pain. "Sorry, Taria.""Apologize accepted."Belladonna rolled her eyes, "I wasn't apologizing to you.""For now, I'm her, unfortunately."With an exhausted sigh, she said, "Please, shut up."Sometimes, she felt like sewing his lips with her sewing machine. "Or what, you'll fall deeper into the crazy attraction you have for me---" his words cut short as her hands went around him. It was a change tha
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 225 - Insignificant Details
Slim fingers with red, long polished nails moved over the exposed arm of another. Frost formed over the place of contact. A struggle.A muffled groan, because that was all the one being put through this torture, could let out. Nadia's mouth had been stuffed with a piece of clothing, gagged. Her hands and legs were chained to the table she was laid against. Her eyes were wide open with the pain the cold brought her, it went deeper than the skin, she could feel it. Kestra pulled away abruptly. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" She turned in the direction where Collin was standing. She had said she needed a fresh and new soul, had even specified who exactly she wanted and he had brought her to him as quickly as he could. This man, what will he not do for his family?A castle that was built on the clouds, was what his hope was. She prayed that he would keep staying in his delusion. How else was she supposed to use him if he wasn't stupid and blindly hopeful?"It is beautiful." He said,
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 226 - Cave Mysteries
There were writings on the wall.In a language she had never seen before but could somehow understand. "How are you doing that?" Alaris asked again as the words clatter out of her mouth, and she took a turn according to the writing on the wall, a torch that was hung on the wall, lighting up as they approached.They had been doing this for about five minutes now, following the instructions on the wall. "I don't know," Belladonna didn't want to think too much about it, this wasn't the time. This cave gave her an eerie feeling. Everything was going too smoothly and they still hadn't come across any obstacle yet. Also, Motu hadn't come along to get Taria yet, or maybe he was trying and the chaos of finding her was already happening above them. All that didn't matter for now though, she had to remain focused and get out of this dream as quickly as possible for everyone's sake. "The language isn't from this Realm," Alaris said behind her. "What? So it is from where you came from?" Bel
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 227 - Inhuman Obstacles
It was death to go back the way they came. Skeletons pushed out from the cave walls and poured from that direction room towards them, racing as their inhuman growls filled the air.An army of the dead. It was a horror Belladonna had never witnessed in her entire life. Maybe the necklace was indeed a trap after all.The fun of leaving unsolved mysteries as mysteries was staying alive. Moria was wrong and the people of Aniktaki were right to have decided not to concern themselves with this cave. Well, it was too late for Belladonna now. Wasn't it?Her running steps fell into sync behind Alaris and he raced away in another direction, with his hand tight around hers in a firm grip.She followed blindly, her steps unbalanced and uneven sometimes, her body juggling everywhere from the desperation of her run until she was side by side with him. Every turn he took, she did too.He lead and she followed. Simple.No questions asked. "What is that?" His breath sounded a little too even
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 228 - More Reasons To Hate
Taria's screams of terror filled her ears along with the growls of the skeletons that had her pinned to the ground.They were fast with their attack and as Belladonna tried to pull her away from the living bones, she got her own dose of attack too. Bony hands pulled at her from all sides, shredding her gown and digging into her skin, the strength behind their attack, knocking her to her feet while she pulled the bag that housed the dragon stone closer to her in a desperate struggle not to lose it, tight like her life depended on it, because at that moment, it did. Taria's scream morphed with the growls of the skeleton and in an instinctive defense, Belladonna curled herself on the floor, shielding herself as much as she could, both her hands folded over her head and her body turned inwards, like the monsters were her mother and she was once again shielding herself from a beating that would surely leave scars with the passage of time. Why had she not learned by now?The Bride Thief

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
