Like promised, Drake let Mason torture George. He was tortured to the point where George actually begged for his life.
"Really? You want our mercy? You were not so merciful when you were drugging my father and paralyzed him for 2 years. You even mercilessly made the summer fae suffer because of that red fog. And now you need our Mercy?" Dillon snapped at George angrily.
After Mason, it was Dillon's turn to torture George. They both have a personal grudge over him. So Drake let them torture him until they are satisfied.
Drake, Mason, Dale, and Dhari stood outside the cell, watching calmly.
After half an hour, Drake noticed that George will die if Dillon continues to beat him.
"Dillon" Drake stopped him, but he is still looking at George.
"Everything will stop if you tell us where Koni is," Drake asked calmly.
"Please, please let me go. I did what Koni told me to do. Please, let me go" George begged.
"I will not ask you a
The next morning, Dhari came with the full details off who the King of the Dark realm is and where his palace is. "The name of the dark king is Blaze Black. People are whispering about him having a human mate, but nothing was announced officially. But yesterday he burned a dragon alive for misbehaving with the girl whom everyone thinks as their queen and his mate. Like his name implies, he becomes a living and breathing fire, when provoked. But apart from that, he was said to be a good king" Dhari revealed. "Hmm, why waste our time? Let's go meet him and start scouting for Koni" Drake muttered. After an hour, Drake is sitting in the office of the Dragon King of the dark realm. When Mason first told him about the dark realm, he thought it would be filled with orthodox old Dragons. But to his surprise, as soon as they announced who they are, the guards alerted the higher-ups, and immediately the brother of the king came to escort them towards the palace
"I am one of the elders" when Blaze heard Drake's declaration, he was shocked."You are one of the elders?" he asked with stunned surprise."Ya," Drake said, looking uncomfortable with the surprise in the other man's eyes."I thought the elders might be old dragons. I am surprised" Blaze agreed.Drake sighed."The elders used to be three dragons who are more than 100 years old. But apparently, they are misleading the dragons in the human world for their selfish needs. So the fairy goddess wanted me to take up the position as one of the elders" Drake confessed.'More like forced' Mason commented through their mind link, with a chuckle.Drake smiled at that comment.Blaze understood that Drake is one of the elders."If you are one of them, then who are the other two?" Blaze asked curiously.Drake sighed."I don't know it yet. She said the other protectors would be revealed soon, who would be taking the
As soon as Drake came from the Dark Realm, he went to find Nyra, whom he knows would be waiting for him.Just like he expected, she was waiting for him in the armory."Drake" she rushed towards him and hugged him."Nyra" he hugged her back."What happened? Did you meet with the dark king? What did he say? Is he willing to help us?" Nyra asked.Drake asked everything that happened in the dark Realm.After listening to everything, Nyra sighed with relief."So now it's just the matter of finding Koni. After that, we could live peacefully" she said."You are right. But I need to help him find that red dragon as well. I came to tell you how the meeting went. I know you would be worried. Now I will go meet with Shawn and tell him to start searching for Cameron. Okay?" Drake made sure that Nyra is alright before he shifted infront of Shawn's house.Shawn was patrolling the Ayur forest, when he felt the mind link between him and
"Damn, she is interested in you. Why don't you go talk to her?" Mason asked Dale.All the royal guests were invited inside the palace 1 week before the wedding, so that everyone could celebrate the a happy occasion in the palace after so many years.The guests are milling around the palace, laughing and chatting.Dale and Mason are looking after the security details, and are currently watching everyone from a corner.Dale's shoulders sagged at Mason's question."I don't know how to talk to her. Earlier while she was passing by me, I tried to say hi, but nothing came out" Dale confessed.Mason looked at Dale thoughtfully.'Oh, I understood your problem really well. But if I leave this to you, then I am sure you would remain single for the rest of your life' Mason thought.His eyes shined with mischief."Oh, I get it. You couldn't talk to any female at all right?" Mason asked.Making Dale nod his head with a d
Dale walked towards his room hesitantly. 'I don't know what Mason is up to this time ' he thought. Dale is on the receiving end of Mason's mischief for as long as he came in contact with him. Mason is a prankster, but none of his pranks are harmful. So Dale is curious as to what he is up to this time. On the other hand, Sheya is waiting anxiously for Dale. She is very nervous, as he is her first love. It would have been much better if he could come and talk to her. But like Mason said, he must be shy. She can not wait for another two years for him after knowing that, they could have stayed together in that time frame, only if she could muster some courage and talk to him. Just then she heard footsteps coming closer to the room. She took a deep breath and faced Dale, as he opened the door. Dale is stunned to see a woman standing inside his room. But what shocked him more is that it's the same woman upon whom he had a crush
Koni is pacing his small house in the dark realm. He is waiting for George to come with Nyra. They planned to use the human woman and kidnap Nyra from the palace. George said he is inside the palace and hiding there under the mask of a guard. He also heard from George that the human girl is also inside the Palace. 'They should have been here two days ago. Then why is George taking so much time this time. Everything was arranged according to his convenience. It's so unlike George not to at least update him about the situation. Did something happened there?' Koni wondered. He decided to go and check there himself. He needs to know what is happening there. Now that the second couple is revealed, he cannot do much of anything here when that woman is in the palace under the protection of the king. So he decided to go and check on George and his work. He made his way towards the fairy goddess temple from where he ca
Drake, Nyra, Mason, Olivia, Dale, Sheya, and Dillon were sitting in one of the receiving parlors, talking and joking. "I was sure Dale would mess this up as well. Poor Sheya, I pity her" Mason said teasing Dale. Dale blushed beet red. She and the others laughed at his reaction. "Aww, our Dale is blushing?" Dillon teased and Mason fist-pumped him with a chuckle. "All of us are settled now. Now we need to search for a nice woman for Dillon" Drake said, making Dillon groan. "Let me enjoy my life a little will you? You guys are hitched, let me take my time" he said relaxing on the couch he was sitting on. Drake and Nyra are sitting beside each other, likewise Mason is sitting with Olivia and Dale is sitting with Sheya. They all look content sitting beside each other. "If you wait for any longer, then you would become an old man" Drake teased Dillon. Dillon chuckled. "No man, if I find a woman who lov
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
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.
