In the summer palace, Cedric, Dillon, and Lucas are sitting in Dillon's office with matching worried frowns on their faces."Damn it" Lucas cursed for the tenth time.He found out that there is a rumour about Lola's identity. They tried hard to hide from her, but everything is ruined in an instant. Thanks to Mini and her stupid jealousy, everyone began to target Lola. Even if Lucas didn't interfere, they would have made sure to thoroughly insult Lola. Even then Lola would have been the subject of these rumour mills."I know that girl is trouble. We should have sent her to her parent's house the moment we found out how arrogant and rude she is" Cedric muttered about Mini.Dillon is regretting his decision about welcoming Mini inside the Palace. "I never thought she would do something like this father" Dillon confessed sadly.Lucas sighed."It's no use digging about the past now. Let's think about how to protect Lola now. Someone out there might know that princess Catherina was a drift
'She is a drifter, just like her mother' Valmore thought.He thought of waiting until the next day so that his scout Mallik could accompany him to the summer realm. But he couldn't stop himself from coming alone. He was so curious to see Catherine's daughter, whom he used to idealize before he was forced to kill her. He dint had to search for long, he found her walking outside the palace courtyard with the queen. The moment Valmore saw her, he recognized who she was. There is no doubt that this woman is Catherina's daughter. She looks just like her mother. But unlike Catherina, her daughter has something which makes Valmore stop and stares at her. His heartbeat picked up when her lips began to move. Her gaze is penetrating and she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Apart from her beauty, she is intelligent and kind. She smiled at every maid and guard whom she came across. He followed behind them, as he couldn't seem to turn his gaze away from her.Now he understood why tha
"Lola, these summer royals are deceiving you. Come back with me" he said softly.Lola took another step back from that man. For some reason, his proximity is making her feel unsafe, as if her death is standing right in front of her and asking her to come with it. "You are lying" she whispered looking straight into his eyes.Valmore smiled at her statement. 'This is how deception works right? We lie and they believe? Isn't this how i deceived so many Drifters and made them to come out of the human world so we could kill them? But why is she not trusting my words? Drifters always used to blindly trust me, woman more than men. Are my good looks not working with this one?' he wondered."Lola, you used to love me and eloped with me against your fathers wishes. Don't you remember anything? How could you say that i am lying?" he tried to make her feel guilty for hurting his feelings.Lola began to feel increasingly unsafe. Something about the man is not sitting well with her. Every word he
Lucas is making sure that Lola would be safe and comfortable in his parent's house. He arranged for maids to clean the house as it has been too long since it has been used. He asked someone to fill the closets with the latest women's clothes in Lola's measurements. For some reason, he began to feel anxious and unsettled.'Am I feeling uneasy because of the looming danger on Lola's head? or is this something else?' he wondered.He couldn't concentrate on anything, so he told the maids and servants to finish the tasks given to them and left from there. He had this sudden urge to see Lola.'Lucas'He felt as if Lola is calling for him. He placed his palm over his chest where his heart is, as it began to feel hot and uneasy.'What is happening to me he thought with a frown.Suddenly the tattoo on his wrist, which is the symbol that indicates that he is taken and he has a mate began to burn hot and it shine.He rubbed at the tattoo anxiously."Lola" he whispered with a frown.He felt like
"No, this cannot be true. This can not be true" she cried with anguish.Lucas is the most affected of them all. Lola is his mate. The look of sadness and resignation on her face when she disappeared right in front of his eyes is like a stab to his already painful heart. A sliver of hope when she told him where she is was gone when she understood that her mate is not going to reach her on time.What is bothering Lucas is the look of pure obsession in that Fairy guard's eyes. 'He is obsessed with her. No matter what, he is going to make sure that she stays alive' Lucas understood."They must have taken her life" Cedric cried. His whole body shook with the intensity of his sobs. Dillon looked at his father with sadness and helplessness."I failed to keep my promise father. I failed to keep her safe. I am a failure" he said sadly.The guards who are looking at the grieving royal family felt bad as well. They are not understanding what is happening here, but that didn't lessen their pain
"Stay here," Valmore told Lola. Just when he was about to leave, he frowned.'She is weak now, that's why i could drag her here by force. But she will not stay weak for much longer. When she begins to regain her strength, she will try to connect with that dragon. Their bond is obstructed for now, but it will not stay that way forever. The moment she becomes strong and lets that dragon know that she is still alive, then he will not stay quiet until he could locate his mate. I have to stop that from happening' Valmore thought.He produced a silver bangle from his pocket and began to whisper something. Soon, a small black-colored snake crawled up his arm and coiled itself around the bangle, before it disappeared. Now the bangle has streaks of black around it. Valmore turned to face Lola, who is now sitting n the wooden floor with a distraught look on her face. Valmore didn't like to see her so sad. But he doesn't want to let her go either. 'She will slowly forget that dragon and begins
"She is here Dillon. I can feel her. We are missing something here. We are not looking hard enough" Lucas murmured eying his surroundings keenly. He can feel that she is here somewhere. That's why he has been coming back here again and again despite not finding anything that would lead him to her. Dillon looked at Lucas sadly. Lucas is dirty and dishevelled. He didn't stop even for a second to rest since the moment Lola was taken. He doing everything he can to find where she is. They have taken the help of the summer warriors when they couldn't find anything. Despite a dozen pairs of eyes searching this mountain thoroughly, they couldn't find out where she is. There is no sign of even the fairy guards anywhere. "I trust you. But if she is here, then we would have found them already. It's been two days. Do you think she is still safe?" as the time is slipping past their fingers like sand in a dessert, Dillon couldn't help but feel depressed and resigned. Lucas gave Dillon a sharp
Valmore is anxious. He is looking at Lola, who is lying on the wooden floor. She lost her conscience a while ago. It's been almost three days since she was bought to Valhalla. He thought she is would go on a hunger strike for bringing her here forcefully. But to his surprise, she ate all the food offered to her. 'Changed your mind already?' Valmore asked her with a smirk. She snorted sarcastically. 'In your dreams fairy guard. My mate will come for me. I can sense him nearby. I don't want to be unconscious when he comes here. I wanted to tell him that i regained my memories and i really love him so much. If i don't eat and become ill, how can i do that?' she replied while eating her food. Valmore wanted to snatch the food away from her and starve her for talking to him about her mate. But he doesn't want to kill her. The snake bangle around her wrist is already sucking her energy. Without food, she would definitely die. So he let her eat. That was two days ago. For whatever reaso
