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

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 Prologue
(Prince Mateo Storm) I was bored. I was always bored during social events. My tux was stiff, and my tie felt too tight. I was suffocating in this place and I would give anything to get away from here. For me, this was an absolute nightmare. The pounding music. The sweaty, sweaty people. The Dragon Ball! Ugh! The Dragon Ball was one of the most important social events in Draconià. Everyone was invited into the Feuer Castle during Dragon Ball and the castle would be fully decked with lights and flowers. The event usually lasted for three days and there would be a copious amount of alcohol, food, music, entertainment and a lot of girls looking to hook up with royalty. My brother thrived during the ball, the charming Blaine Storm and I, the future king of Draconià, couldn’t even open my fūcking mouth to form a proper sentence to anyone who dared to approach me. I hated it. I would rather take a leisurely stroll in the Dread Woods of Delvitga and take my chances with the monstro
The Dragon Prince's Thief 1. Back with a bang
(Vera Rhys) Pulling down a soft blue dress fit for Royalty and smoothing it down my body, I stared at myself in the mirror, my violet eyes glinting in appreciation as I stared at the gown and the gold necklace I had just stolen yesterday. I had always loved beautiful things. No, not just love. I had an unhealthy addiction to beautiful, shiny things, and no, I'm not ashamed to admit that. As far as I was concerned, when you liked something, you didn’t have to be shy or apologetic about it. At the end of the day, you were the only one who was responsible for your own happiness. My happiness was exactly here in this little cottage that had been dying for years now, but still standing, with my merry band of six people. I was unofficially the queen here and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I quickly shot a text to my boss, Alonso. I had a day job too, in the most perfect place in my little world. The Gery’s Gallerie. And it also helped satiate my obsession with beautiful things. I b
The Dragon Prince's Thief 2. Trick or treat
(Faye) I kept biting my nails as Owen stared at me with a frown. "She will be alright, but if you keep biting your nails, you won't be," he said with a smile as he sat down next to me, wincing as he looked at my bitten nails. "I am worried about her." "And I am, too, but you know her. Nothing is going to convince her. She has to do what she has to.""I know she had been doing things on her terms since she was a child, and it made her... kinda stubborn.""Kinda?" Owen winked, and we laughed together and some of the tension in my stomach reduced. "Okay, very stubborn, but we are all in this together, and I wish she won't recklessly run into things," I said, taking in a deep breath.Vera and I had been friends for a long time. No. We were more than friends. We were sisters. And I knew she would be the one I would go to if I had to bury someone, and she would come to me. But sometimes, it worried me, the way she thrived on danger. Sometimes I had a feeling that she was trying to fil
The Dragon Prince's Thief 3. Insufferable
(Mateo) The moment she pressed her lips against mine, I knew it was a game. The same one she had played once, but this time... well, this time I was a little bit less distracted than before."Oh, you are still very much distracted." Okay, I admit Shade was right. I was already aroused and aware of her softness pressing against me... deliciously teasing and tempting me to forget who the hell she was and to take her against the wall... but I knew I couldn't let her distract me again. I just couldn't."You can let her distract you, I mean look at her." My dragon was a horny little shit."Can you blame me?" I was going crazy. She was so beautiful and she made me feel things I had never felt, not for anyone. She did it the first time, too, even when there was no freaking bond to pull me to her, she pulled me in.Her lips were soft and masterful as she kissed me with everything she had and oh, she would destroy me.My heart was thundering, my breath was coming out in a sharp gasp and my

(Vera)"Wait? What the hell are you doing, Nova? I am trying to get the f*ck out of this place. Not hug the prince prickly. Stop rubbing his ass with your perverted tail," I said with a frown, but my dragon was busy wrapping her perky tail around the handsome-looking prince, a look of pure delight in her traitorous eyes, and the prince looked quite besotted as he tenderly traced her scaly head with his hand. She purred. Nobody in their right mind would call this kitty-fucking-cat a dragon."He was so damn angry with me, and he is petting you?” I frowned. I was kind of jealous of my own freaking dragon.“Don’t be bratty, Vera. It is not becoming,” my dragon said with a huff before she finally unwrapped her tail from around him. He looked hesitant and I could see his beautiful green eyes looking at her with gentle adoration."About time. Now, let’s get the hell out of here before he calls the guards and really sends us to the dungeon,” I said with a frown. She huffed before she walked t
The Dragon Prince's Thief 5. Push and pull
(Mateo)(Just before he was in the forest)When the dragon flew away through the window, it took me minutes to get my head back and I was finally awake from the spell, the woman and her dragon put me on. They were both bewitching.The woman was a menace, a freaking menace, with a mouth like... a flame thrower or something. Every f*cking word that came out of her mouth was made to make me burn.I didn’t even have the proper word to describe her. She vexed me to madness. But her dragon- oh! Now, I loved that sexy beast. Her red and black scaly body, her soft violet eyes with a slash in the middle that looked like a doorway to her soul, her soft purr."Oh, I won’t mind riding that dragon...” Shade said with a moan, and I chuckled, shaking my head. On a normal day, my dragon was usually the most level-headed creature, but with Vera and her dragon, Shade seemed to be losing his shit, too, more so than me."Yes, I know you won’t mind riding her, you dirty dragon.”“Who is this woman? What i

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

(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
