(Vera) I cursed the Sun God, for making this so hard on me. A mate, who had all the money in the world, for someone who had to steal to live? How the hell would that work out? I had had the pleasure of meeting rich assholes, and- I had learnt my lessons. When I was fifteen, I went back to school. A good school, too. It was where rich kids go. Hegen made me go, even when I didn't want to. I got a scholarship, because I was- I was smart, in more ways than one. My memory is photographic, and I remembered things, weird things no one could remember, so it wasn't hard for me to get a scholarship. I was happy, even when I frowned and stomped and told Hegen that I didn't like school, I did. I liked knowing answers to every question, I liked being the smart one. Everyone was always asking me about things. Teachers always called me when they wanted answers. And I had all the answers. It was fun. And I became friends with some girls, especially one. Liya. Liya and I became friends. I mean,

“Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves”― Laura Esquivel---(Vera) I absolutely felt guilty as I looked at Ezra. It was like a dark vein of misery, pruning through my body, and I didn't care for it.I had always been truthful to him about everything, and we knew, we always knew this would come to an end, the thing between him and me. We were friends first, and would be friends later, so I didn't know why I felt guilty."He is your mate! That is why he didn't drag you down to the court, huh?" Ezra chuckled, trying to lighten the mood, but I could see a hint of sadness in his eyes. Maybe this wasn't as easy for him as it was for me.I almost blurted out that the prince wanted to handcuff me in his dungeon, but I didn't. That would be too much information too soon."Yes," I sighed, pulling my hair, playing with it as I always did, whenever I was nervous or sad, and he watched me with a shake of his head. He knew almost everything a

“I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.” ― Pablo Neruda ---- (Vera) I scanned him up and down and I watched as his throat worked up and down. I knew he saw the lustful look in my eyes. Of course, he did. He looked around, looking nervous as hell. His eyes finally met mine and I gave him a salacious wink. The prince coughed and cleared his throat and turned away from me, glaring at his brother. "Blaine, you idi0t, what the hell are you-" "I mean, we know why you are so frustrated? It is all the pentup sex.ual tension for V-" So Blaine knew me. I didn't know why it sent a shock of immense pleasure through me to know that Mateo had been talking about me. Because... I didn't want that, did I?! I wanted my freedom. Only that. To live and do as I please. To never give anyone the kind of power to destroy me. Once bitten, a million times shy! "Blaine. Mateo. Amyra. For the love of Freyr, you guy

“Please, touch me, I pray.” ― Jess C Scott ---- (Mateo) My throat went dry when I felt her breasts pressed against me and her fingers dug into my ass. A soft groan left my lips. It was as if she didn't even know what she was doing. Gods and goddesses! This woman was made to destroy a man's sanity. Her eyes widened when she finally realized where her hands were. My arousal was aching and I wished she would touch me... take me. She looked at me with lust darkening her irises, and the look in her eyes made my stomach clench and my c*ck became harder, if it was even possible. Everything impossible was becoming possible with this tempting, vexing creature. I wished she wasn’t wearing a wig and contacts right now. I wanted to see those Violet Verbena eyes! "You know what, I am done!" She said as she grabbed my hand in hers, her eyes determined. I was slightly scared of the look in her eyes. I was nervous when she pulled me inside the room, but I had been dreaming about her for five y
The Dragon Prince's Thief 14. Admission
(Vera) I could feel the prince's eyes on me as I talked with the queen about what she wanted and what she could get for the royals attending the ball. She knew her art, and I liked that she was not pompous enough to admit it when she didn't know something.She finally bought and paid for eight paintings for the eight royals that would be attending the Dragon Ball from other realms to Draconià. She was easy to talk to, and it surprised me."Thank you, Miss. Rhys. You have been very helpful," she said with a smile, before she opened her bag and pulled out a familiar-looking card. My eyes narrowed as I stared at the black embellished card as she handed it to me. "If you could come to the dragon ball, I would be delighted to show you around the palace.""A personal invite from my mom?! Only a few have the pleasure of that! My mom is picky," Blaine said as he looked at me with an impressed look."Thank you, Your Majesty. I might take you up on your offer," I said without looking at Mateo,
The Dragon Prince's Thief 15. Tell me lies
(Vera) I gasped. What the hell did he just say? I glared down at him as he chuckled, and I could feel the vibration of his laughter running along my body. His hands were warm on my back, and I could feel the length of his body, naked body, pressed against mine, creating delicious friction. My breasts, protected only by a flimsy dress and no bra, tingled and my nipples pebbled. I was sure he could feel my tightening ni.pples against his chest. My p*ssy turned wet, and I knew he could smell my arousal, when his jade eyes darkened until they became midnight black. A soft moan begged to come out of my lips, as my body begged to rip his boxers away from him and finally, finally take him. “What the hell were you thinking?” I hissed out, finally remembering why I was here in the first place. “What? What did I do? You were the one who broke in, you were the one who tried to attack me in my sleep.” “And you deserve it. The gifts?! What the hell was that about?” “Did you like it?” Is thi
The Dragon Prince's Thief 16. Strings
(Mateo)My whole body felt like it was burning. Shade was clawing from the inside, and I knew he wanted to break free and claim what was his, consequences be damned, and I almost, almost wanted to let him loose. But I knew I couldn’t force this on her. I was not brought up like that.It felt too real, the pain, the heartbreak. So definite.I wasn’t done fighting for her, not yet, but for now, tonight, I didn’t want to be here alone with her. I was worried that I might do something that would change our lives completely.“I-” she hesitated, and I closed my eyes tight. Seeing her face, filled with worry and guilt, wasn’t helping me. She should feel the guilt, but somehow it was not a good feeling to see that look in her eyes.“GO,” my voice came out in a loud growl and then I stiffened when I could smell her. Closer than before. What the f*ck was she still doing here? Why the f*ck wouldn’t she just go away?“I don’t want to hurt you, Prince Mateo.”Prince Mateo. I f*cking hated it.“And
The Dragon Prince's Thief 17. Yes or no
(Vera)“Oh, do come to the ball tomorrow, and then once the ball is over, I will take you to the temple and then-”I hated it. I knew I wanted the rejection, but he didn’t have to be so eager about it, did he?“Then what?” My body was burning with anger and jealousy. I didn’t want his first time with some random Fae wh0- okay, I absolutely didn’t want to call a random woman wh0re, that wasn’t right, and I knew that. But I already hated this phantom Fae, with her wispy, beautiful wings and her delicate curves and magic. “Will you take a Fae to your room?” I grunted. I wanted to tie him down and prove to him that I would be better than any Fae ever could be.F*ck No!I hated that when he talked about finding a Fae girl. Ugh. Faes! I didn’t want those bitches near my-"Careful, Vera. Your green is showing. Dark green, too...”I ignored the dragon.I glared at his back as he turned to me and grabbed my hands, as if it was completely normal to hold hands after talking about rejection. His

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

(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
