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
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
