On the other hand, Drake slowly recovered from his injuries. His wings might need some more time to heal, but he could fold them back in to himself, so that they can heal properly.
He slowly stood up to a standing position, and flexed his muscles to test them.
Dale and the warriors who were worried about their king breathed a sigh of relief after Drake stood up to his full height.
They could be able to listen to what the old man was saying, but they were more concerned about their king, who was injured when he was trying to protect his people.
They were already loyal the their king, so the story is just for their knowledge. Nothing could change what they feel for their king.
Drake looked around him, and couldn't help but smile at what he saw there.
"I never thought I would see a day where I would find all of you so worried for me, even after finding out what I actually am" he said with an unbelievable smile.
"It's easy to like you and respec
Nyra stood there, utterly unmoving. She neither accepted his hug, nor rejected it. She just didn't react at all. She is as stiff as a board.Drake frowned at the way Nyra is behaving. He immediately understood something is wrong."Nyra?" Drake prompted her.But she didn't respond at all.Drake is having a very bad feeling about her silence.'Fairy fire' he tried to ask the fairy fire about what happened. But then his shock, the fire didn't respond either.Drake turned Nyra, so that she is facing him."What happened?" he asked her softly, but his heart is beating anxiously.Nyra hardenen her heart. Because she knows this is best for him. She rather have him alive somewhere than get him killed for staying with her.She looked at him and seeped as much anger as she could in to her eyes. Anger came easily, but it is not because of him. She is angry over their hopeless situation.When Drake saw the anger in her eyes, he is
When Drake heard Nyra's words, he felt as if his heart is being ripped apart. Nothing she said is false. Everything is true. He was drugged when he made her his mate.And then after he found out that she is his mate, he hid the truth from her. He wanted to give a chance to their relationship.But she is right. He should have thought about what she wants. But like the selfish prick he is, he assumed that it is what she wants. So he decided to pursue her."It was never my intention to make you feel betrayed Nyra. I agree that I made your mate with your consent. But my love for you is always real Nyra. It was never my intention to Betray you. I always wanted to give a chance to our relationship. I wanted to give you time to understand me and love me. With the pressure of me being your mate, I thought it would be difficult for you to cope up. I don't want our relationship to be tiresome. That's why I hid the truth. Not to blindside you" Drake explained.
Nyra looked at Drake, who seems to be thinking about something.'Oh no, this is not good. I need to send him back before he could suspect that I am doing all this intentionally' she decided."What are you still doing here? I said you should go. That means you should go" Nyra said adamantly."Why should I? I am the current king of the winter realm. No one can actually demand me to do anything which I don't want to. That means, if I don't want to go, then I don't have to go. Not even you can change that" Drake announced, closely observing her reaction.He found traces of shock and then, fear?'She is scared of something. What is she scared of?' he thought.Nyra on the other hand is shocked to hear his statement. She was sure he would go away when she tells him to go. But why is he making things difficult? He has to go back before koni could complain about his presence to the elders she feared."You cannot say that. You are just a t
Nyra summoned Dale, who is the chief of the winter warriors. He is the one who was with Drake when he got injured. So she decided to find out how Drake was injured so much. "You called for me princess?" Dale asked her with respect. Nyra looked at Dale with anger shining from her eyes. "What happened? How did he got injured so much? How come he is the only one injured and the rest of you are all fine?" She questioned him with anger. Dale looked guilty. There is nothing wrong with what ever the princess is asking. She must be worried because their king is injured by the fire, and now he is lying on the bed with a bad fever. "There was a house in the nearby village which was burning. The family that used to live in that house was trapped inside, with out any way to escape. So our king decided to save them......" Dale explained exactly what happened in the house and how he got burned so badly. Nyra is getting angry. The more Dale e
"You are carrying a child" the healer revealed.Nyra gasped with shock and surprise. She is happy and sad at the same time."A baby without getting married is frowned upon in Fairy. I am not judging you, princess. I know these things are common in the human world. But the fae people will talk if they find out. It will be bad not only for your reputation but also for the reputation of the throne. Our King Drake loves you immensely. He will be ecstatic by this news. I heard even he came from the human world. I am sure he doesn't know about all these. If you both get married soon, then no one could say a word against you. If you feel like I overstepped my boundaries, please forgive me. I will not tell this to anyone. This is your call to make" the healer advised politely.When Lily came back with the food, he bowed and left.Present.Nyra blinked back her tears."You know Drake, the palace healer confirmed that I am carrying our bab
'If only your elders are as good as you think they are' she thought. "Alright, I will help you. You go to the human world and meet the green dragon who helped you to come here. He will take you to your elders. Settle down everything there and come back, protector" the goddess promised to help Drake. Drake sighed. "I cannot go immediately. Mason and Dhari went in search of George and Koni. I cannot leave Nyra vulnerable. Especially when Koni is trying to kill her. Moreover, she is now carrying our child. I will go when they come back. Dhari will guard her until I come back from the human world" he said. The fairy goddess smiled again. She saw that the day when Koni and George would be captured is nearby. She want Drake in fairy by then to punish them. So he has to go now. "What if I promise to look after my daughter and grandchild until you could come back? Will you leave them in my care? I promise I will not let anything happen to them
By the time Nyra woke up that morning, she noticed that Drake is not beside her. She began to panic until she saw him standing near the window, and starting outside, deep in thoughts. What caught her attention is his clothes. He is wearing his human clothes. Her heart clenched painfully. 'This is what you wanted. And your wish is fulfilled. Now he is going back to the human world' she thought painfully. She decided to be strong and not show him that she is feeling sad by his decision. But a traitorous tear rolled down her cheek. And that's just the beginning. A sob broke from her lips, attracting his attention. She couldn't control her tears even if she wanted to. Drake is shocked to see Nyra crying. "Nyra? What happened? Why are you crying?" he rushed towards her and engulfed her in the safety of his arms. But she couldn't stop her sobs for a second to answer him. Drake began to feel worried for her. "Nyra, it'
Drake appeared in the Hamilton mansion, startling everyone. The maids were cleaning and Roland was drinking coffee while reading the news paper. When the maids startled Yelp reached his ears, he turned to look what happened. To his surprise, Drake stood there in the middle of the living area, where Nyra stood yesterday. "Drake?" Roland rushed towards his son and hugged him with fatherly love. Drake reciprocated the gesture and they both pulled away. "How are you my boy?" Roland asked his son with happy tears in his eyes. Drake smiled at his father. He is feeling guilty for leaving him like that with out giving any information about where he is. He can guess that Roland must have been worried about him. "I am fine dad. How are you? You finally decided to come and stay in the mansion?" Drake joked. In the past, matter how many Drake asked Roland to come back, his father always used to give some kind of exuses. So he is surprised
Drake woke up from his dream, where he saw Nyra running towards him amid wild colorful fae flowers, holding their son's hand, who looked just like Drake. He loved that dream so much, that a longing for that to come true began in his heart. But to his surprise, he saw Nyra smiling at him as soon as he was awake. "Nyra?" he touched her face to confirm if it's reality or a dream. "Drake" she whispered softly. With the soft morning light streaming from the window, her face is looking angelic. He missed her so much so that, he pulled her into a tight hug. "I missed you Nyra. I missed you so much. Do you know how scared I was when that Koni stabbed you? That was the worst moment of my life. I never wanted to see you like that ever again. I will try everything I can to protect you and our son from harm's way. I am sorry that I failed you Nyra. I am so sorry" he confessed with his face buried in her neck and breathing in her scent.
Like Drake instructed, the guards began to whip Koni one at a time. Soon the common public began to volunteer. Koni could hold back his cries for the first two days. But after that, his body became sensitive and he could no longer hold back his cries of pain. What's worst is that, if someone is annoyed with something, they would come and whip Koni until they feel better. They don't let him eat properly or sleep properly. Whenever they feel like it, anyone could come and whip him senselessly, until he would pass out with pain. He tried to pretend that he passed out. But that lasted only an hour. They soon figured that he is acting, so now they are sparing him even he became unconscious. After 1 week of this torture, Koni began to pray to the fairy goddess that the princess should wake up soon. He no longer can bear this torture. "Please forgive me and let the princess wake up" he began to beg the goddess loudly when he could
Everyone bowed to their new king with respect. They were really happy to see that he is awake and healthy again. Dale couldn't contain his happiness after looking at Drake. "I am really happy that you are awake your highness" Dale said truthfully. Drake nodded his head, but he couldn't muster up a smile. Nyra is still in a coma, and he is angry over himself for letting Koni that close to her. 'I failed her and now she is paying the price' she thought with regret. "Let's go" Drake muttered and walked towards the dungeons with a purpose. As soon as he entered the dungeon, he saw two guards bringing George's body out of his cell. When they noticed Drake, they bowed their head. Koni is glaring daggers at Drake. "You are awake?" Koni asked with malice. Drake did not answer him. He motioned Dale to unlock the cell. Koni always thinks that Dragons are beneath him. So he looked down upon Drake as if he i
Koni is in the dark cold dungeon in the winter Realm. After he was caught, he was thrown in the dungeon. No one came to talk to him or interrogate him. Everyone is worried about their king and queen. "You finally did it" George commented from the cell beside Koni's. Koni has been after Nyra since the day he found out that, she was blessed with the fairy fire. He is so crazed out of his mind, that he lost all sense of rationality and the last ounce of empathy he had. Nyra is pregnant. Everyone would be considerate towards a pregnant woman. But all Koni could see is the powers she possessed. His lust for the powers of the dragon Relic is so vast, that he didn't think for a second before stabbing her with a knife. "I did" Koni answered George's comment, even though George was not expecting one. "I never stopped for a moment to think about what I am doing. If I did, then I would have realized that what I am doin
The healers, Roland, Mason, Alvin, Avery, Alpine, Dale, Dhari, Shawn, and his mate Anna, everyone rushed towards the couple, who are lying unconscious on the ground. They allowed the healers to check Nyra and Drake. To everyone's shock, Nyra's wound is healed completely. There is no scar or any mark to show that she was stabbed a few minutes ago. "Oh dear goddess" the healer murmured with shock. He checked her vitals and the baby's condition. To his shock, everything is normal, except her pulse. Her pulse rate is lower than usual but not too much for them to get concerned about. They checked Drake, but everything is fine with him as well. The healers murmured among themselves in hushed whispers. Alvin, Avery, and the others became concerned. They were anxious to know what happened to Drake and Nyra. Even they can see the wound on Nyra's body disappeared. But then again, why is she not waking up. What happene
Draco kept snarling at everyone who tried to approach them. No one is powerful enough to go against him and win. They cannot even contain him for a couple of minutes to let a healer treat Nyra. Alvin, Avery, and Alpine are worried for Nyra. "Drake has to take control and snap out of his grief long enough for a healer to look at Nyra. If he doesn't, then we might lose our daughter forever" Avery sobbed with pain. She can only look at the blood that is polling all around her body. As Draco is hiding Nyra behind his wings, none of them can see how is Nyra doing. Mason and Roland heard Avery's words and they decided to go and talk to Draco. Draco snarled at Roland and Mason when they tried to approach him and Nyra. "Draco, you need to let Drake take control. Nyra needs a healer now. Only a healer can save her. The more we delay, the more the chances of her losing her life. Think about what we are trying to tell you" Roland tried to reason
As the priest started to read the scroll, a light appeared near the joining of their hands. It's not uncomfortable or painful. But it's just a soft glow, letting the people know that she accepts this couple's wedding and is blessing them with her light. The light usually stays near the joining of their hands. It will not travel upwards slowly covering the couple as a whole. But with Drake and Nyra, the light slowly began to move up the length of their hands, until it's covering their bodies entirely, making the people around them look at the light but not the couple. Everyone gasped, even the priest was shocked. But he didn't stop reading the scroll. But the words on the Scroll multiplied by two right in front of his eyes. He turned his head to look at the goddess beside him and she nodded her head. So he continued reading whatever words appeared on the scroll. The Goddess is marking the couple as her first chosen protector and his mate by usi
On the day of the wedding, the groom and his friends departed to the fairy Goddess temple earlier than the bridal party. The groom, his friends Mason, Dillon, Shawn, and his wife Anna, along with Drake's father Roland and his fiancee are the few important people who accompanied Drake. Half the warriors stayed back to accompany the bride and half of them accompanied Drake. Drake is wearing a white dress, which consists of a white breaches, a white undershirt, and a lavish white overcoat studded with crystals and gems. His hair is combed back and away from his face. He is looking more handsome than ever. Blaze Black sent a message wishing the new couple a very happy married life. He also sent that he couldn't be able to attend the wedding because of his issues. When Drake read the message, he frowned. 'I hope it's not serious' he wished. On the other hand, Nyra is getting ready to depart from the palace.
Koni searched for George everwhere he could. But came back empty handed. Koni began to get frustrated. He needs the help of someone who could shift to get to the place where he wants. 'Where is he? Did he leave everything midway? What happened? Did he take money from them and left me? Is he helping them to find me?' Koni began to suspect. But he don't have any proof to consider his thinking as true. But he cannot do anything about it either. So he decided to plan something and kidnap Nyra by himself. 'I worked alone for all these years. I can do it again. It's waste to depend on anyone to do my work' he thought. With that thought in mind, he decided to device a plan to Kidnap Nyra. He decided the day of the wedding is the best day for him to kidnap her. Even though he cannot shift, he can still use his abilities to kidnap her. He will hide behind that statue in the dark Realm for two days and then he would come back and hid
