In fairy, it's been 15 minutes since Nyra was buried under that snow. But no one knows that yet. Avery went out of the palace in her carriage, to visit a fairy temple.
She is worried about Nyra's future. So he asked her husband, King Alvin to show her if there is a temple nearby.
He commanded the coach driver to take her to the fairy temple. The coach here is a carriage with four wheels, and four horses pull it by the coach driver's command.
The fairy temple is an Ice cave, inside which stands a huge statue of a fairy woman standing with her ice-blue eyes wide open.
She prayed to the fairy goddess to protect her daughter and show her mate a way to reach Nyra and protect her.
The temple is Half an hour away from the palace. She looked at the fairy woman, who is different from the human woman, but not too different.
The fairy woman wears long ankle-length gowns, and their hair is twisted into a braid behind them.
She too is wearing the same ki
"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 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
