After one month
Nyra woke up with a start. Even after one month, the dreams of what happened that night plagued her mind. She did not remember much about that night. But every night she dreamed about his husky voice and she immediately gets turned on.
Nyra is not understanding her reaction towards that man. After that night, she thought she would have nightmares. But exactly the opposite thing is happening with her. Now, she is dreaming about her tormentor's voice and this time, she is enjoying her time with him.
Nyra left that small town upon her grandmother's insistence. Once her grandmother find out what happened to her, she was adamant about her decision to send Nyra back to her father and stepmother.
"Don't tell anyone about this Nyra. Never let anyone find out about that tattoo. They will kill you" her grandmother's warning ring loud and clear in Nyra's mind.
Nyra unconsciously reached to rub her new tattoo. After that night, an orange dragon tattoo appeared on her lower back. It's the reminder that proves about what happened that night.
"Nyra" she heard an annoying voice of her stepmother calling her.
"Coming" Nyra called back.
She quickly did her morning routine and rushed downstairs from the attic, which she was using as her room.
"You lazy bitch, hurry up. It's already 6 in the morning. You need to prepare breakfast for Mr Hamilton" her stepmother Barbara yelled at Nyra.
Nyra clenched her fists and nodded her head like the meek Little girl she is acting to be.
Nyra is 22 in human years and finished her degree in software development. She wanted to find a job and move away from here. But her grandmother insisted that this is the safest place for her to live for a while.
Nyra decided to heed her grandmother's warning and stay with her father and stepmother for the time being.
"Act timid and meek Nyra. Don't bring attention to yourself. There's so much on the line for you to lose here. Don't let them know what you can do. Hide your abilities. Act like a typical human girl. After a while, your dragon mate will forget about you. Then you can move on with your life like you planned" her grandmother's words are still fresh in her head.
"My mother is talking to you. Are you dumb as well?" one of her stepsisters Cindy sneered at her.
Cindy glared at Nyra, who is fair with unblemished skin. Her almond eyes look innocent and mysterious. Her bow-shaped pink lips are soft and full. Her straight nose and high cheekbones give her oval face added beauty.
Cindy and her elder sister Mindy envy Nyra for her good looks and hourglass figure. She is beyond beautiful without even trying.
"I will prepare Mr Hamilton's breakfast now Mother" Nyra controlled the urge to snap at them and answered like an innocent dove.
"Spineless bitch" Nyra's step-sister Mindy muttered.
Cindy and Mindy are Barbara's daughters. Mindy is 2 years younger to Nyra and Cindy 3 years younger. They share the same father.
Nyra's father Douglas Adams is a werewolf shifter. Even Barbara Cindy and Mindy are wolf shifters.
Unfortunately, Nyra didn't inherit her father's genes. She was blessed with her mother's good looks and genes.
Douglas works as a Butler in the Hamilton household.
Nyra immediately went to work and started cooking breakfast for Mr Hamilton.
"Sorry I am late" another human maid Emma said breathlessly.
Nyra's father lives in a two-story house behind the big Hamilton mansion. Barbara and her daughters work as the live-in maids in the mansion. Since the moment Nyra came here, they are taking advantage of her and making her do all their work.
"It's ok Emma, get to work before Barbara comes here" Nyra smiled at Emma.
Emma lives a few miles away from the Mansion. She leaves in the evening and comes back in the morning. Emma lost her father and mother in an accident. She has a younger sister to take care of. Emma is quirky and fun to work with.
"I don't want to hear her yelling so early in the morning " Emma shudder with mock fear.
Nyra giggles at Emma's comment and they work on the elaborate breakfast meant for Mr Hamilton.
In the Hamilton mansion where Nyra is now working as a maid, Drake is standing shirtless in the huge balcony which opens from his room overlooking the nicely trimmed back yard followed by the vast thick forest extending for miles.
Drake woke from his drug-induced haze the next day evening. The girl or now his mate is nowhere to be found. He searched every inch of the forest for two days, but she just disappeared Into thin air taking her jasmine scent along with her.
Her softly spoken words of concern still fresh in his mind. He doesn't remember much about that night, but just the thought of her voice is enough to make him turned on.
Now he is having wet dreams with her voice attached to a faceless shapely body. One thing he remember clearly is her soft curves. Her soft bow-shaped pink lips. He kissed those lips for hours even after she fainted of tiredness.
Her face is hazy and not clear at all. He is searching for her for one month, but still there is no sign of her anywhere.
"Who are you? What were you doing in that forest at that hour of the night alone? Why did you offer to help a stranger in pain? Look where your kindness leads to? People are scared with just a word out of my mouth. Why were you not scared, even when I warned you to run away?" Drake said to no one in particular.
Drake looked at the tattoo of two wings in the shape of a human heart permanently etched on the left side of his chest, just above his heart.
"I never heard about this Drake. If a dragon has a human Mate, they never leave a tattoo. Are you sure that your mate is a human? Only creatures of equal power will be able to leave a mark like this. If she left her mark on your heart, that means you liked that girl before the drug took over. If she is a human, then she would have died with the way you lost control over yourself" his friend Mason's words ring in his head.
Drake is getting frustrated. Everything related to her is a mystery.
"Sir, coffee" the familiar Jasmine scent assaulted his nostrils. He looked down his balcony and looked at the fully bloomed Jasmine flowers in the flower garden.
The maid's voice is a little similar to that of his mates. His mate sounded strong and confident. But this maid is timid and weak.
Are you comparing your mate with a maid drake? He scolded himself.
Drake turned and accepted the coffee brought by the maid, without sparing her a single glance.
He sipped the coffee and close his eyes with pleasure. This is another thing that changed in the past one month. Douglas hired a new maid, who can cook like an experienced chef.
Drake usually does not enjoy anyone's cooking. But he couldn't resist anything cooked by this particular maid. He enjoys her coffee too much. It will make him feel refreshed and alert.
Nyra slipped away after she handed over the coffee to Mr Hamilton. Cindy, Mindy, and ever her stepmother are too scared to approach Mr Hamilton.
'Scary' that's the word Cindy used to describe him. But Nyra didn't mind serving him. He usually eats in the dining room. She only serves him coffee in his room.
Nyra quickly left his room and stepped into the elevator after pushing the cart inside. She pressed the ground floor button and waited to be taken down.
Nyra looked at her maid uniform in the mirror-like a wall in front of her. A white shirt and a knee-length black skirt describe her outfit.
Nyra unlike others, doesn't have to spend hours in the beauty salon. She doesn't have that much time and money to spare as well. She was gifted with shapely eyebrows and her body does not have extra hair on her hands and legs. Her skin is smooth and porcelain.
She got back to the kitchen to arrange the cooked breakfast dishes on the dining table. The Hamilton mansion is huge with 10 bedrooms. Each bedroom has it's own huge balcony to facilitate dragons to shift and fly.
The mansion has a game room, theater room, Mr Hamilton's office, a huge swimming pool in the back, and an open terrace.
The kitchen in the mansion is a chef's dream come true. It is equipped with everything a chef could ask for. Nyra always like cooking. It calms her down.
She placed all the dishes on the table neatly with the help of Emma and waited for Mr Hamilton to come down and have his breakfast.
Drake got ready for work and came down to the mouth-watering aroma of breakfast wafting from the dining room. Usually, he prefers to eat in a nearby coffee shop near his company headquarters.But since the day this new cook started working in the Hamilton mansion, he don't want to eat anywhere but in his house.He finished his healthy and tasty breakfast and took his second cup of coffee in a to-go cup, which was placed beside him.Drake got into his Bentley and drove off towards his company. One thing he loves is driving his car.It's a luxury sedan built for the city traffic. His company is situated in the center of the city in one of the tallest towers in the world with a helipad on the terrace.It's constructed by the Hamilton group, facilitating the dragons to shift and fly off at any given time. There are balconies on every floor, making the shifting easy.Mostly Dragons work in his company, along with a few wolves and vampires. Humans
"Hey man, where are you? Are you not coming to work today?" his friend Mason asked Drake over the phone.'You are already the most richest man on earth. Even your grandchildren can live comfortably with the money you earned. Now stop running and start searching for a mate Drake' Roland Hamilton's words reverberated in his head."Drake, you still there?" Mason asked his friend.It's so unlike Drake to miss a day of work."Ya man, I am here" Drake answered distractedly."Are you not coming today?" Mason repeated his first question."No, I am not coming today. Tell my assistant Steve to forward important documents to me and cancel all my meetings" Drake told Mason.Mason was stunned into silence.'What happened to him? Dragons usually don't fall I'll. Is it because of his mate?' he thought worriedly."Are you alright?" Mason asked with concern.Drake heard the concern in his friend's voice."I am fine Mason, I just
Nyra cursed Drake in her head and moved towards his closet to do his bidding.When she opened the door and entered inside, she was awestruck with the sheer size of it.His suit jackets are hung on one side, his shirts on the other side. Neatly arranged based on their colors. His ties are hung to a separate hanger which looked fancy. His nearly hundred pairs of shoes are neatly polished and kept in the shoe rack.Nyra came outside the closet and was startled to find Drake Hamilton standing in front of her.Drake looked at her coldly and noticed her empty hands."Where are my clothes?" he snapped at her.'Beast, bully' Nyra cursed him inside her head. But gave him a pleasant smile."Mr Hamilton, all your clothes are already neatly pressed and arranged inside," Nyra said smugly.Drake looked at her smug face and gritted his teeth."I see" he murmured and strode inside the closet.Nyra looked confused.'Now what is this b
Drake smirked looking at Nyra's shell-shocked face. She glared at him but as soon as her father turned to face her, her eyes became soft.'Interesting' he thought.Douglas left soon after that leaving a fuming Nyra behind."Now, you are my slave" Drake taunted her happily."You.." Nyra controlled her urge to curse him."Yes? " Drake is having too much fun at her expense. He did not remember when he enjoyed his time like this.'Her misery is making me happy? Is there anything wrong with me? With that attitude, it's not a wonder that she spiked my anger' he told himself.Nyra decided to leave this room to cool down her temper. She is scared that, she might scratch his face off.Nyra stalked off without a word to him.Strangely, as soon as she left, Drake felt restless and empty.'It's just my imagination ' he thought and did not think much about it.Nyra went down to the kitchen, still fuming with anger.Emm
Drake flew to the exact spot where he met his mate. He looked around to find something, anything that might belong to his mate. But he found nothing. For some odd reason, Nyra's face flashed in his eyes.'Coward' she whispered.That one word troubled him to no end. He flew back home after midnight and found Nyra in the same spot where he left her. He looked at her cheek, which is bruised. He placed his palm on her soft cheek and immediately her bruise healed as if nothing happened.Then he healed his palm prints around her neck.'Stupid girl, you don't know when to stop and keep your mouth shut. That mouth of yours will push you into troubles' he thought with a soft protective feeling.'If you are willing to do anything for your father, then let's see what is your breaking point. I want to see how far I can take our cat and mouse game' he thought with a smirk.The next morning, Nyra brings Drake his morning coffee."Sir, coffee," she s
After 3 weeks of Nyra being promoted to his personal Maid, Carlos Hamilton visited the Hamilton mansion.Carlos brought some files from Roland Hamilton to hand them over to Drake Hamilton. Roland strictly ordered Carlos to only hand them over to Drake directly.But when butler Douglas notified him that Drake is not home yet, Carlos could do nothing but wait for Drake.So he sat on the couch, browsing something on the internet on his phone."Sir, juice" as Emma was busy in washing the dishes, Nyra brought the juice to Carlos Hamilton. None of the maids have a very good opinion about Carlos.Carlos is a very degraded dragon. He is a womanizer and is addicted to drugs. When he heard a feminine voice, he snapped his head towards the direction he heard the voice from.When he noticed a maid standing in front of him with a juice glass, he forgot to breathe for a second.Nyra is beautiful. Even though she makes no effort in getting read
Nyra receives a call from her grandmother's phone, telling her that she is injured and admitted to a hospital."What? When?" Nyra ask the caller, who identified himself as the hospital staff."She is administered an hour ago. Her condition is critical. According to the 911 staff, she seems to be slipped and fell from the porch stairs" Louis, who is pretending to be a nurse, made this story up to lull Nyra out of the Hamilton mansion."Ok, I will come now. Please take care of my grandmother till then" Nyra requested the 'Nurse'."Ok mam, we will" Louis agreed and disconnected the call.Nyra became extremely anxious. She ran to her father, who went to sleep, as he needs to wake up early and start work from 6 am."Dad" Nyra knocked on their door.Douglas is startled by his daughter knocking on the door at this hour.He got up carefully, not to disturb his wife Barbara.He opened the door and was a little surprised by an extremely an
Douglas, who is waiting for Mr Hamilton to come down, saw the face of his daughter Mindy."What happened? You look so pale" he enquires softly."Mr Hamilton asked for you to come to his dad. He told me to take this coffee back to the kitchen. He didn't even touch it. He looks angry" Mindy essayed everything that happened upstairs.Douglas thought, his other daughter might impress the way Nyra did and become her substitute. But he is wrong."You don't worry about it. I will go and see what Mr Hamilton needs" he assured his daughter and went upstairs to meet Drake.Douglas quietly tapped on Mr Hamilton's door before being called inside."You called for me Mr Hamilton?" he asked politely.Douglas wants to take his permission to go and visit his injured mother.'Nyra told me she would call me from the hospital, why didn't she call me yet? She is not even picking my call. Is my mother alright?' he thought worriedly."Where
