The Dragon Prince's Thief 38. Taken
(Vera) I had this urge to say the hell with it and just fly away, but unfortunately, I had no dragon, and I was stuck here as all the other doctors stood around me, looking at me curiously.I was the circus act here.It was really weird, and if Nova was here, she would have probably said something snarky about this."Umm, I want someone to take care of Prince Mateo, he was the one who got hurt," I said with a cough and they all jerked back as if I had punched him. Some of the young doctors looked flustered as they jogged away, grabbing their clipboards."Oh, yeah," Blaine said as he watched his brother. "Who did this to you?""It is Arax, that asshole," Mateo said, making a few women doctors flush before they moved away too. They were probably here just to stare at Mateo and not at me. I bared my teeth at their back as they scampered off and Blaine chuckled as he noticed me."Arax? What the hell is he thinking? His family is already standing on a fucking thin ice," Blaine growled."W
The Dragon Prince's Thief 39. Behind the Mask
(Faye)My heart was banging in my chest. For a second, everything around me shook, and I saw two of everything.The phone slipped from my fingers as I saw Ezra running out from the kitchen, his hands white with flour, his face pale and bloodless. He looked at me, his eyes wide and worried.My ears were ringing so loudly I couldn't hear anything he said.I knew only one thing. I needed to go."Wait, don't shift yet. Just take a deep breath and now tell him what happened. You have to. And you have to stop panicking." Remi said with a shake of her head. "Faye... you listening to me?""Yes, yes. I am."I could finally hear and breathe."Lili..." I muttered under my breath and he gasped."No, what? Where is she? She was just playing right there, and she wanted cookies. I was just making cookies for her."Nobody, nobody came to our neck of the woods. We had been safe here for years, and then the prince found it. And now these two dragons... My body shook once again, but I knew now was not t
The Dragon Prince's Thief 40. Go fishing
(Faye) "If you don't remove that thing off of her, I will kill you.""Mate..." Remi said in a deep growl. My eyes widened. Mate? Him? I looked up at him and his dark eyes were staring straight at me and I gulped. My heart raced, and I became sweatier, as if I wasn't already bathed in my own sweat. This wasn't the ideal situation to meet my mate.His eyes were swirling with too many emotions as he grabbed Arax by his throat. "If you ever go near her, if you ever look at her... I will not let you live, Arax."Some things in life happened when you least expected it.I was not like Vera. While she had always been so vehement on not wanting a mate, I had always wanted one. The anger she felt towards her father was not wrong, but I also felt that the love her father had for his mate was not wrong, either.I hadn't known my parents. I had grown up in a shitty orphanage until one day I met Vera. Nobody cared I walked away and took my brother with me. It might have been reckless, but all my l
The Dragon Prince's Thief 41. Azura and Nightmares
(Vera) Arax stared at me for a second before he nodded, his head making these quick bobbing movements. I bared my teeth at him and he shrunk back into the chair."Vera, love, you are scaring him. He is a dumb idiot, and he has seen the error of his ways," Mateo said as he sighed. "Don't make her mad anymore, Arax."Arax nodded quickly."But he almost killed me. He needs to stop being a dumb idiot.""I am sorry. Tyrell told me you are the one who killed Thalia and I lost it. She is- she was my sister and-""Tyrell this, Tyrell that. It makes me even angrier," I said. "I think he is the one who killed your sister. He definitely knew her before all of this. Did he tell you that he met her in Zarique?"Arax's face paled and a small growl left his lips."No. I don't. He told she was like a sister to him and... I will kill that bastard.""No, you are NOT killing him. Not yet, okay?" I frowned at Arax."He told me so many lies and like an idiot, I believed it.""Yes, he lies. He always does
The Dragon Prince's Thief 42. The captive
(Orna) The hybrid fell asleep almost instantly, and I knew she wouldn't remember anything come morning. Also, I didn't think she would work out. Her blood was not pure enough. I knew Tymeria thought otherwise, but I always knew who was going to be our end goal. The girl, my girl. "I can't wait to teach a lesson to all the imbeciles who thought they are powerful than me. They are not..." I thought with a scornful look on my face."I can't wait to control their feeble mind," Kendra, my dragon, said with an excited look. "For making fun of how I looked." This war had started years ago when I first accidentally found a book titled the first dragons. And then someone helped me to know more about the first dragons, and their history. Everything started with that first book. The book was buried deep in the depth of a library, and that was the only print, I had found out later. The fascination became obsession and the obsession became need. It was where I found out about Estrild and her
The Dragon Prince's Thief 43. And so it begins
(Vera) Shade and I flew to Ayerie woods and Shade took off to the Palace. "You know, I love riding you, Shadey," I whispered as I got off from him and he licked a long path down my neck, and gave me a salacious look that made me laugh. "Oh, stop flirting and shift already." The dragon bumped softly against my shoulder. I caressed his emerald body and his golden scales before motioning him to shift. He shifted quickly and Mateo pulled me to him. I smiled up at him and he shook his head. "Do not flirt with my dragon. You are mine," he whispered as he gripped my hips pulling me towards him. I pressed myself against him and dug my fingers into his ass, teasingly wiggling against him, making him groan out loud. "Oh, Prince, you are bad. You know I am yours and his, too, and I like it that way," I teased as I dragged my nails down his back, making him groan. I could already feel him getting harder. Damn. This man was insatiable. "And this isn't the place, you horny prince. Go and wear s
The Dragon Prince's Thief 44. Poison
(Orna)"You don't like your food, Lili? I bought the best tarts in Draconiá just for you," I said to the little girl as she kept poking her food with a fork, a disgruntled expression on her face."I want to go back," she said as she looked at me with a defiant frown."Lili, shut up. You know I will only do what is best for you," Ezra said to his sister, and she didn't look too pleased to hear that."But I miss Hayden and Vera and Owen and-""I know, I know, but look around. This place is big, and now falling apart, and you have lots of toys to play with. You will love it here.""I don't want toys. I don't like this house or anything." The girl sullenly looked around with a sigh as if it was a burden to live here in this opulent house with the toys and the food and the dresses.She would rather live in the woods, in a rundown cottage that was on its last leg.I really didn't want to look after a little girl at this point, anyway. My plans were finally falling into places and I had no t
The Dragon Prince's Thief 45. Untethered
(Vera)MY MOTHER WAS MURDERED.Everything inside me shook. I had a slight doubt about that, but now I was sure of that. Yes, Tyrell looked more destroyed than my mother, and it was very clear it was poison in his case, but I could see the subtle similarities. They must have improved their poison to make it work instantly.My heart twisted in anger and vengeance. I wanted blood on my hand. I wanted to swallow all of them whole until this cavernous hunger in me was satiated. I had never been so angry in my life. I am a part of this plan from the very beginning. In fact, this started eight years ago, the day my mom died — no, murdered — and it was put into motion when I stole the Eye of Sabius five years ago.”There was silence, a big, tensed silence, until all the words were sealed behind the lips and the air smelled like burned hopes and dreams. I had always thought I was a girl who lived according to her own rules. What a big fucking lie that was!I cleared my throat as Mateos’s palm

The Dragon Prince's Thief End
Warning: This is the same scene from last chapter, from Vera's pov. It is not officially a different chapter. It is just the same scene told from Vera's perspective. If you don't want to read, do not read.This chapter will not clear everything up, because like I said, I still have another book to write.With that being said, go on, and you will see some of you confusions answered here. ONLY SOME, though. Wink, wink.***(Vera) I saw Orna's body going still in my arms as her eyes stared straight into mine. There was no anger left in her eyes, and mine, as well. I gently closed her eyes as I looked at her.I could hear her softly reading the stories to me. Soft and gentle. Her eyes would always be fierce though. I remembered the marks on that special book. She called it her special book. I had never seen a book like that anywhere else. One time when I asked Orna about it, she said there was no other book like this in the entire universe."Sleep tight, auntie. May you find your peace i
The Dragon Prince's Thief 72. Queen
(Mateo) The dragons were vicious, but Shade was just as vicious. He bit, tore and fought like the he was possessed.I was worried about Vera, though. I heard the growls and roars and ear-splitting cries, but Shade couldn't get away from the dragons continuously attacking Raek and him.When I saw Vera going into the clearing and Orna's dragon following her, my heart fell to my stomach. I was nervous, agitated. Shade tried to break away from the dragons around us, but I just couldn't. They were fast, fierce and unrelenting.I had a feeling they wanted to keep us away from Orna and Vera for whatever's reason they had."Don't worry, she can take care of herself," Shade said as he took a swing at a massive green dragon. She was quick, and she was ruthless, but Shade was hungry for blood. "I am going to kill this bitch and bury her in her own blood," he hissed with anger as he wrapped his tail around the massive Black and yellow dragon's leg and tugged. The dragon roared as she twisted awa
The Dragon Prince's Thief 71. Beginning of an end
(Vera) Orna shrunk her nose, her eyes flashing in irritation."Just hand me the crown, Vera." I looked at the woman I had once loved with everything. I loved her just as much as I loved my mother. I looked more like her than my own parents. "I don't want to hurt you. I never wanted to-"I scoffed. "Liar."She gave me a frustrated groan.I couldn't forget the nights she sat by my bed, reading me stories and how much I enjoyed every moment I spent with her. Now, there was nothing between us. Only this chasm of anger and rage and bitterness. She would never understand why I hated her so much. Not just because she used me, but because she chose something else over me. Not because she wanted the crown, but because she wanted it, knowing that my death was the payment for her power.Was she that power hungry?I shook my head with a glare in her direction. "Why? I would be dead either way, wouldn't I? You won't care what happened to me. As long as you get your power, you have no qualms about
The Dragon Prince's Thief 70. Face to face
(Vera) "Your queen is dying.""NO. I am not." Nova looked smug as hell. My claws lengthened as I looked around the room, my eyes assessing everyone. I didn't know who talked, but I had a feeling they were hiding in the crowd.I closed my eyes as I felt the magic of the crown. A soft chant left my lips. "Please protect them, Freyr," I whispered as I shook my head.There was another loud, thunderous explosion that rocked the ballroom, causing the chandeliers to sway and the guests to scream in terror. I stood up, my heart jolting in anger. I had anticipated this, but it still made me angry.Chaos erupted around as people scattered away from their seat and clamored around in fear. There was too much noise, too many people, but I knew that I had to stay calm. I looked at my family and friends in the front of the line and they all nodded as I saw them moving between the panicked people, trying to talk to them and calm them.Mateo immediately stepped in front of me, shielding me from harm,
The Dragon Prince's Thief 69. The Coronation
(Vera) "You look like a queen. You are a queen." Amyra said as she handed me a box full of accessories that looked like it would cost me a lifetime to pay for that. Oh, yeah, no, I could just steal some Euvens and pay them back in a blink."Oh bitch," Nova said with a smile.Faye and Bianca helped me with the necklaces and rings and bracelets. I was shining, and my heart was dancing. It looked beautiful. I looked beautiful."I am grateful to have met you when I was just sixteen. It was destiny, Vera. And I am grateful to Maseir for that one moment in my life that had gone right despite every bad thing," she said as she hugged me sideways and wiped her eyes. It made me want to cry too."Bitch, I am not going to go in front of everyone with black stain on my cheeks," I teased Faye and she let out a quick burst of laughter.Tatienna laughed as she handed me something. "This is what I gave Esmeralda when she become my son's queen. Now it is yours." It was a beautiful hairclip with emeral
The Dragon Prince's Thief 68. Child's Play
(Orna) "So Estrild said to Sabius, I will come back a million times, even after death. I will destroy everything you have built, and then Draconia will be mine. Her voice rang above the silence of the night. Sabius cut his fingers on the crown's sharp edge and looked at Estrild's vanishing figure. She wasn't really there, but he could feel the ice running through his body, despite the fire that was always burning inside him." I read from the book, and the girl grumbled under her breath, pushing her plate back. I ignored her as I turned the page. "With this blood and the last of my daughter's blood, I bind your daughters' powers to the crown. As long as the magic hums in the crown, as long as Azura's blood runs through the veins of her children, you will never get what you want."Estrild's laughter rang out as she watched her three daughters grabbing on to their stomachs. The pain in their eyes was evident. She felt their pain as if it was hers.""They deserve the pain," Lili said as
The Dragon Prince's Thief 67. Ours
(Vera) I shook my head with a growl as I wiped my tears away. I was done crying. No. I wouldn't cry anymore. I would make Orna cry.Mateo had a troubled look on his face when the same guard ran towards us again."They are here," the guard said."Who is here?" Mateo asked as he looked at him."Lord and lady of the clan Red Thunder. Their family too."That made me look up. Mateo stood up and gave me his hand. "Let's go see now, okay? Don't jump to a conclusion before here and there."When we walked out, the queen also joined us. The queen hugged Arax's mother before she turned to his father."You can live here, Rosalie, Kenneth, as long as you want. I am so sorry you lost your home. We will bring them to justice."Rosalie Red, Arax and Marvis's mother looked at the queen, her eyes shining in gratefulness. "I know, Esmeralda. We are fine, thanks to Sun God. We are so sorry for my daughter's part in this.""She was only a young girl who had been brainwashed. I am sorry you lost her. Come
The Dragon Prince's Thief 66. Plan B
(Vera) My fingers trembled as Mateo grabbed the note from my hands.Blood. Lili's blood.Every bone in my body burned in rage. If I saw Orna now, she would die a painful death. I wouldn't spare her, not at all. Mateo growled as he finished reading the note."Monster," he said with a dark rumbling growl. "How can she play with a little girl?"Oh, yes, she would. She didn't have any qualms about using a little girl to succeed in her plans."Lili is another one of her pawns," I hissed. "Lili is the pawn she made to control me."Amyra and Mateo nodded."She is undoubtedly smart," Amyra said with a frown."She is. She has always been."Orna didn't decide to steal the crown out of nowhere. No, it wasn't random. Nothing she had done was random. Everything was moved in such a way that when we came to this place we were in right now, she would have the King, that she would be the one calling check mate.She didn't decide to send Ezra and Lili to me, just for the heck of it. No."She knew Lili
The Dragon Prince's Thief 65. Heartbreaks
(Blaine) The anger inside me was like a roaring sea and I feared that it might destroy me, destroy everything in my path.I wanted to burn everything down. As Raek soared above the cloud, his massive wings flapping in a frenzied motion, I wanted to ask him to let out his anger.He felt agitated and restless too.Mateo's dragon, Shade, followed us close behind. I was grateful he was accompanying me. I knew I couldn't do this alone.I needed Mateo here with me. My eyes burned from the tears I didn't want to shed. Not yet. No. If I cried now, it would mean that she was no more. I didn't want to believe that.She was my best friend, and I made a mistake when I didn't look for her when she was first gone. I should have. This would stay with me, this immense guilt, all through my life, if she was really gone, and if we had absolute proof.I was so angry back then, but now, I regret my every decision, my every action. She didn't deserve that from me, her best friend.When she suddenly disap
