"My husband, the king of the winter realm, your future father-in-law, doesn't want her to remember you, her mate" Avery revealed.
"What?" Drake asked angrily.
How dare this winter king? He is trying to take Nyra away from him. Drake thought with anger.
Even Mason looked angered by this news.
Avery can understand their anger. For a dragon, a mate is not just a partner who shares life with them. But more, much much more.
A mate shares a soul with the dragon. If a dragon loses a mate, he will lose a part of his soul too. He will not be the same as earlier.
"My husband is thinking like a father. He knows about the dragons. He knows you hate Fae. If anyone of you finds out who Nyra is, then your elders will kill her without a second thought. That's why Alvin wanted to protect Nyra. He doesn't want to hurt his daughter. So he thought it would be better to forget about her past, without hurting her. That's why he did what he did. Please don't hate
Alvin and Alpine are worried sick for Nyra. For the past half an hour, they are searching for her. But she is nowhere to be found.The guards near the gate swore that she didn't go out. They searched the entire palace and the courtyard. But she is nowhere.Alvin is scared.'Did my killer strikes again? Is my baby girl alright?' he is anxious and worried."Whoever finds my daughter alive, I promise to give them whatever they ask for" Alvin announced in desperation.His words spread all around the palace, faster than the news of Nyra's disappearance.'Koni ' on the other hand is searching for Nyra along with the king so that no one would doubt him.But in his mind and heart, he knows she would be dead by now.It's been almost half an hour since he buried her. She is just a human who is susceptible to cold. So there is no chance of her being alive under there.What he doesn't expect is the arrival of her protector.
After Alvin left, Alpine held behind. Koni too was looking at Nyra, with suppressed anger.'This human, she survived' he thought angrily.He then glared at Drake, who is looking at Nyra as well.'This stupid human saved her. You wait, if I kill you both, let's see who will come to the rescue you' he thought in his mind.But he is a chameleon, who can change colors according to the situation."Oh my fairy goddess, how did the princess be buried under the snow?" he asked with fake concern.Alpine trusts Koni, but his brother told him not to tell anything to anyone until the criminal is found out.Alpine too thinks that his brother is right. Someone deliberately did this to Nyra, he believed.But he is not about to tell that in front of Koni. So he kept quiet.But his sister in the law replied in his stead."We will soon find out, advisor. If you don't mind, I have a few things to discuss with my brother-in-law. Will you mind
Drake and Mason followed behind Lord Alpine. All the other Fae guards heard about the way two humans found the lost Princess.They all wanted to find the Princess and raise up to the king's good graces. But none of them could find out the princess. But two humans, whom the Queen brought from the Fairy temple, protected the princess instead.They couldn't digest that the fae failed and lost to these humans. They were deeply angered and jealous looking at the humans.A human usually is meek and week in front of the fae. But these two are walking as if they own this palace."Stupid humans" the chief security in charge Dale muttered looking at the humans.Both Drake and Mason heard him, with their sensitive hearing. They smirked looking at them. That angered the fae guards too much.The chief slowly approached Lord Alpine and bowed in front of him with respect."My Lord, can I speak with you for a minute," he asked Alpine respectfully.Sec
The fairy fire warmed up Nyra completely. Nyra woke up slowly and looked around her. The last thing she remembered is that, something heavy falling on her head.She saw the fireplace is lit and it's spreading warmth into her.'It's strange. Why is that fire look so inviting and familiar?' Nyra thought.She belatedly noticed her mother, who is standing by the window. Her mother is so engrossed in whatever she is looking at, she failed to notice that her daughter is awake.Nyra sat up and slowly walked towards her mother. She is still getting used to walking in these long ball gowns, which are heavy and are warm in this weather.Nyra looked from behind her mother, at the huge open field, where the snow is removed and two huge men are standing facing away from each other.Nyra can tell that they are not fae. The fae men are not this tall and well built. They are lean muscled and a little less than 6 feet.Nyra is feeling a strange pull to
Dale decided to fight Drake himself.'He cannot be more skilled than I am?' Dale thought arrogantly."Ok, you and I, one on one" Dale told Drake."As you wish," Drake said simply.Dale came into the ring and Mason slipped outside and stood beside Lord Alpine, who has a big smile on this ear to the other."Tone down that smile will you? Your warriors might misunderstand you" Mason said with amusement.Lord Alpine snorted, just like Drake did."How cannot I be happy. My brother's son-in-law and the future king of the winter realm is beating the shit out of our arrogant warriors" Lord Alpine declared."If you keep calling him your brother's son-in-law, someone will go and tell your brother about him and he will kick us out sooner than we want," Mason told Lord Alpine.Lord Alpine looked at Mason and nodded his head."If I had a daughter, I think I would have married her off to you" he declared.Mason snorted sarcas
That day, Drake went to Nyra's room after talking with Dale and Lord Alpine. Mason gave him some alone time with Nyra and told him he would stay with Dale instead.Nyra is sitting in her room with her mother and thinking about the fight she saw a while ago."He effortlessly defeated so many fae warriors" Nyra commented in awe, regarding Drake.Avery hid her smile of satisfaction.'Well done Drake. You already impressed my daughter. Within no time, she will fall for you again ' she thought happily."Yes," she answered her daughter.Nyra is amazed by his ability. He didn't seem to be under pressure as well. He was smooth and not at all hurried."Who is he mom? Is he one of our warriors? He is so brave" Nyra said in an impressive tone.Avery looked at her daughter's face and the dreamy look there."He is your uncle Alpine's friend's son" she lied effortlessly."Oh" Nyra nodded her head.Just then, Drake knocke
"Thank you king Alvin" Drake replied.Alvin can feel the command in his tone. He is a king himself and he can detect talent when he sees one. This one is really talented. He is powerful as well, Alvin thought.'If I marry Nyra to someone like him, then I am sure the fairy fire will not overwhelm Nyra' he thought.He looked at Nyra, who is looking at them in a daze."Daughter" he called.Nyra snapped back to attention and looked at her father."Dad" she greeted back.Alvin hugged his daughter to him.He is sure the fae who tried to kill him is the one who is after Nyra now.'I need to find the culprit soon ' he thought with determination.That's where he appointed the other human. He appointed him with Dale to find out the culprit. Both humans are capable and this one is the best among both. So he appointed him for Nyra."Are you alright?" Alvin asked his daughter.Nyra nodded her head."I am fine dad
Drake could hear her rustling restlessly on her bed. With his sensitive hearing, he can hear her every small movement.After two hours, he decided to get up and lift her up and make her sleep beside him.He missed sleeping beside her.So he walked barefoot and in just his pants on, he went inside her room and approached her bed.Her eyes are closed but there is a small frown on her face and she is looking restless.He bends down and lifted her up in bridal style, before carrying her into his room and laid her down on his bed, Where she belongs.He laid down beside her and pulled her to him.He covered her cold body with a thick blanket and he slept peacefully after a week.The next morning, Nyra woke up to a warm and cozy feeling.'Warm?' She thought with confusion.Since she came to the fairy, she always woke up to a cold sensation. Her feet will be cold and the tips of her nose and ears would be cold as well.
