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.
Nyra could feel his presence behind her and she controlled her urge to turn around and look at him.She is confused by her reaction. She wants to feel his lips on her again. She wants to feel that pleasant sensation all over her body again.Nyra didn't know how she went and slept beside him. But he didn't seem to mind. If he did, then he would have asked her to leave the moment she laid down beside him.Instead, he covered her body with his own blanket and protectively placed his hand around her body.Everything he does with her has a sense of familiarity in it. As if he knew her.'Do I know him? Is he a part of forgotten memories? I want to remember how I know him, what kind of relationship we shareverything. I want to know everything about us ' Nyra thought with longing.Billion, the summer king is eager to meet Nyra again. As soon as he received the invitation to the summer ball, he decided to go a day earlier, in that case, it wouldn't look in
Drake led Nyra towards the huge dining table, where Alvin and Alpine are having breakfast, along with a few of their fae guests.Drake nodded his head in greeting, towards Alvin and Alpine. Who nodded their heads to greet Drake as well.It's a very subtle gesture, which didn't attract much attention. But it didn't go completely unnoticed as well.Dillion, who is silently fuming over the insult, he just endured from Drake noticed it, as well as Koni, who is also present on the dining table.Koni is nodding his head as if he is listening to whatever the Fae beside him is talking about.But his concentration is on Nyra and her new human guard. He already planned to kill Nyra today. He wants to get rid of Nyra before the fairy fire could grow and take over. It usually takes a few months after its awakening. But if the awakening of the dormant Fairy fire takes place after its host has an Anchor, or a mate or a husband in human terms, it will listen to the ma
Koni looked at the way Drake is feeding Nyra. They both are talking among themselves and Nyra looked embarrassed.'Both the humans decided to become friends?' he snorted sarcastically.'Let's see if your human friend could protect you now princess' he thought angrily.He moved the poisonous powder under the table, towards where Nyra is sitting. He didn't dare touch it.The bottle is small and is plain. It wouldn't attract anyone's attention. When he slowly moved the bottle up and besides Nyra's water glass, not even Nyra noticed it.Koni unscrewed the cap, with his fae ability and tried to pour the poison into Nyra's water glass.Shifters usually have heightened senses. Drake smelled something vile in the air, as soon as the bottle was unscrewed.He looked around the table for the source, but to his shock, something white is being poured into Nyra's glass. The bottle is in the air and it's tilting itself to empty its contents into Nyra's gla
Basil is an old fae man, who is in his early 60s. He is wise and knows every possible fae detail that it is to know.He is not rich and he never stepped foot inside the palace ever. But when he was told by the palace guards that the Winter king requested his presence, he was ecstatic.His clothes are not fancy like Koni's, but his eyes hold wisdom and kindness. He has laugh lines on the corners of his eyes and mouth.When Drake and Nyra saw him walking with his eyes calm and his face composed, despite being in the middle of the royalty."My King" Basil bowed in front of Alvin, who is now sitting on his throne on the dais, which is a raised carpeted platform.The dias has two big thrones for the king and the queen and a smaller one on to the right side a few feet away from the big thrones is the huge single-seated couch, with throw pillows, arranged for Nyra, and a matching one on the left side is placed for Alpine.Alvin sat on his Throne, with Av
