Drake hugs Nyra into his embrace to comfort her. Nyra hugs him back while her body is shaking with the intensity of her sobs.
Drake did not offer any words to comfort her apart from being there for her. He can understand being abandoned by the one who should be protecting her.
He knows his words cannot dull the pain of being left alone with no one to rely on. So he is not intending to comfort her with false hope.
Even if he is willing, what can he say to comfort her?
'Everything will be alright? He knows it's an empty promise. Her pain of being ignored by her own father might dull over time, but it will never go away fully', Drake thought.
After some time, Nyra stopped crying, but she didn't let go of Drake. Her occasional hiccups are the only sound to be heard in the room.
"Better?" he asked her after a while.
"Yes," she replied, her voice hoarse from all the crying she did.
She is now feeling embarrassed for crying in front o
After dinner, Nyra removed their plates and took them to the kitchen before going into her room to shower and change into her sleepwear.She prefers wearing comfortable clothes to sleep in. She usually wears a tank top without a bra and some short shorts.After finishing her bedtime routine, she stepped out of her bathroom in her room and stopped in her tracks in confusion."What are you doing in my bed?" She demanded eying Drake warily.He is typing something on his laptop sitting there."Working" he replied without looking at her."I can see that. Will you get up and go to your room. I am sleepy" she said by placing her hands on her hips."Then sleep," he said matter of fact.Nyra glared at him."Why don't you go to your room?" She asked with impatience."I am comfortable here" he replied, without pausing."Drake" she hissed angrily.Drake finally lifted his head and looked at her. He eyes her from head to toe
When Nyra came back with their coffee, Drake is already bathed and dressed in a navy blue suit.They didn't talk when they were drinking coffee as he was talking with someone in a call."Yes""No, we can schedule for today""Yes""Yes, it works for me""Alright"Nyra could only hear his side of the conversation. She understood he was talking to a client from another country. As they had an emergency crisis yesterday, Drake had to cancel his meetings, which he is planning to attend today.She finished her coffee and went inside her room and dressed herself in one of her very few official wear, a tight black skirt and a white sleeveless shirt which has pearl-like buttons in the front.She let her hair tied into a high ponytail. She applied a pink lip balm and eyeliner to finish her look.She gathered everything she might need along with her purse and went to Drake's room to find he is already waiting for her.
Mason showed Nyra where her cabin is. It's the one right beside Mason's. On the top floor of the building, only the cabins of the higher-ups are entertained.So the top floor has only Drake's cabin, which is huge with a glass wall behind his desk, overlooking the city.Then Mason and Nyra's cabins are a little bit smaller than his. But bigger to the cabins of the other employees.Nyra entered her office and was in awe of it.As soon they enter, she saw a huge desk with a smart screen and a fancy keypad placed on the left side.Then on the right is a couch and a small tea table, behind which is a huge glass wall. On to the right is a door, which leads to her private bathroom.Nyra caressed her black leather chair, which looks comfortable."You like it?" Mason asked.Nyra looked at him and nodded her head."Yes," she voiced out loud."Good, then I will take my leave. If you need anything, my office is right beside yours" Maso
Douglas is feeling bad about everything that happened the previous day. He is feeling like a failure. He failed Nyra and her mother. He neglected Nyra since her childhood unknowingly.He became selfish somewhere down the road and was more concerned about his own family and life.The words Nyra spoke last night were like a bucket of ice-cold water splashed on his face, to wake him up from the stupor of being the selfish person that he is.'He should reveal everything to Nyra. That might be the better solution for the mess he made', Douglas Thought.'The truth might not hurt that much than the lie he made her life for so long' he decided.Cindy and Mindy were keeping an eye on what Nyra is doing and then they are reporting back to their mother Barbara."She is wearing some fancy clothes and going along with Mr. Hamilton. She is so shameless. Displaying being his mistress to the world" Mindy is telling to her mother.Barbara is shocked b
In the Hamilton villa, Sarah is fuming over her daughter's incapability. She is confused about the two humans, whom Drake seems to favor.He beat Carlos black and blue for a human maid working in the Hamilton Mansion. And yesterday Caroline saw him bewitched by a human employee working in the Hamilton group.'Which one among the two is he interested in?' She thought with confusion.She saw Carlos still in pain unable to recover from his wounds. He is a dragon for crying out loud. He should heal within minutes if not in an hour.'But what is taking him so long to heal this time?' She thought with confusion."Why are you not healing yet. It's been more than 24hours since you were beaten by Drake. What's taking you so long?" She asked her son with irritation.Carlos looked at his mother with annoyance. He needs his regular dose of drugs, alcohol, and woman right now. But he cannot do all that under this roof. He cannot move with so much p
It's almost past the office hours, but still, there is no message from Drake. Nyra turned off her computer and decided to go and check on Drake. He told her he had meetings lined up till evening.'Is he not finished yet?' She thought and made the short distance towards his office.After 'Roland' left, which he insisted Nyra to call him as, Nyra finished her work. She didn't hear from Mason after their lunch either.Roland was easy to get along with, and his sense of humor is off the charts. He is not at all scary as she previously expected. She enjoyed his company immensely.When she reached Drake's office in just a couple of minutes, she noticed Steve typing something off in his keyboard."Hey Steve" Nyra greeted the vampire.Steve is busy with all the work which was carried over from the previous day. He didn't notice Miss Adams. When she greeted him, he looked up and smiled at the beautiful human, whom his boss likes."Hello, Miss A
After Nyra reached the Hamilton Mansion, she found Douglas waiting for her. She looked at him, but couldn't muster the strength to talk to him.She felt like, they are now strangers after their confrontation from last night. So she ignored him and passed by him to go inside the Mansion.Douglas wanted to talk to her. But he is hesitant. After last night, it is clear what she thinks about him.But he has to talk to her before she drifted off too far away from them. So he took a deep breath before calling her name."Nyra" he called her.Nyra was stunned when her father called her name.'Did he have any other vile things to talk to her about?' She thought angrily.She is more sad than angry. How can he talk to her like this?"Yes?" She turned around and faced him masking her original feelings.Douglas looked at her impassive face and felt a pang of regret in his heart."I need to talk to you about something," he to
Nyra stood under the shower even after the water turned cold. But the cold water hitting her body is not at all bothering her. She barely felt it.The thing which is ripping her apart is the fact that she is an orphan. The life she lived for the past 19 years is a lie. No wonder Douglas never really cared about her.She was running after him for his love and attention, but it turns out, he is not her father at all. He is letting her stay with his mother because he pities her."I am an orphan. My father is not my father, my grandmother is not really mine either. I have nobody. I am an Orphan" Nyra kept repeating those words again and again.She lost track of how long she stayed under the cold spray of water. Her skin became wrinkled and she is ice cold to touch. But she is not feeling anything at all.Her mind and heart are stuck in the fact that she has no one and she is an Orphan."How is she doing?" Barbara asked Douglas."She
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
