Drake tried to move based on the direction of the sun.
"I flew in the west direction when I was coming here for Nyra. Now I should go in the east direction to get out of here" he thought out loud.
Unfortunately for Drake, it's noon. The sun is shining brightly on their heads.
"It's noon, I need to wait a couple of hours to identify the directions, based on sunset" he muttered out loud.
Nyra, who was sedated, started to stir. Neither Nyra, not Drake know that she should not be able to wake up this soon. The drug they injected into her was a very powerful one, and in humans, it takes them 24 hours to come out of the effect.
But Nyra is stirring just after 10 hours, which is impossible for a human body to cope up with.
Nyra is slowly gaining consciousness. Her head is pounding and her body is weak. She slowly opened her blurry eyes. She saw a figure looming over her. Nyra thought her kidnappers found her and he is looming over
Nyra unable to hold herself, leaned on Drake to avoid falling."Are you alright?" he asked her with concern."Ya, feeling a little dizzy" She absently rubbed on the spot where they injected her with the drug.Drake noticed her movement and looked at the spot where she is rubbing. The area around the spot where the injection stuck became a little red and swollen."What happened? How did you end up here?" he asked her gently."Someone called me last night and told me that my grandmother is admitted to the hospital. That guy claimed himself as the nurse working in that hospital. I believed him. Why would I even doubt? I am a girl from the small village around here. I don't have enemies. So I didn't have any reasons to doubt him. I packed an overnight bag rushed to see how my grandmother is. But that guy told me to get down the bus in a stop near the hospital. He offered to pick me up. I agreed thinking that, it would save me some time and I can see m
Drake left Nyra there and went ahead in search of food. After about ten minutes, he found a tree with ripe fruits hanging by its branches.He plucked a handful of them in both of his hands went back to where he left Nyra.Nyra after catching her breath, looked up and found herself alone. The forest is dark and is looking scary. When she was with Drake, she didn't find her surroundings this scary. Now that she is alone, every little sound is scaring her out.'I can't believe he left me alone. Beast, he came for me. But he left me alone. Didn't he look behind him to look if I am following him or not?' Nyra thought with fear.'I should call for him. He is a dragon, he might come back if hear my voice' she thought hopefully."Drake" she shouted for him.'Damn, it's getting colder' she thought folding her arms around her midsection.Drake, who is returning with the fruits heard her calling him by his given name.'Drake?' he thought wi
Nyra did not remember much about the previous night. All she remembered was the bone-chilling cold making her feel like, she is in the deep freezer.The next morning, Nyra is feeling comfortable Lying on the hard surface surrounded by a cocoon of warmth, which is cozy and comfortable.She just woke up, her eyes still closed and she is feeling refreshed and energetic. Her brain didn't catch up to the events of the previous day, giving her a reprive of a few minutes.Slowly Nyra became fully awake and she felt as if her back is near to a heating furnace.'Ha?' She was confused for a couple of seconds before the reality slowly trickled in.She started to remember everything from the previous day.'Last night I clearly remember being ice cold. Then suddenly how did it became so hot?' She thought with confusion.All she saw in front of her and above her is black colored solid rock. The tree branches are still standing tall, covering the mou
"What do you mean by No?" Nyra asked with anger.Drake can pull her easily out of the pit. He is an orange dragon. His human strength will also be much higher than any other beings out there.He can easily kill a werewolf, Vampire, or any others in his human form.Pulling her from that pit is a child's play for him. But she doesn't know that. Her interaction with Dragons is Nill, so she doesn't know about their abilities and strength.Drake wants to tease her a little bit, before helping her from that pit.Nyra, who is unaware of his thoughts, is trembling with fear. The pit has pulled her till her neck. Only her head is visible now.He is acting as if he doesn't care if she lives or dies.'Is my life not valuable at all?' She thought with displeasure."No means, I don't want to help you for free. What are you willing to give me, if I pull you out now?" Drake negotiated with Nyra, answering her previous question.
"Come eat" Drake pointed towards the Fruits and vegetables he bought with him.Nyra looked at the fruits hungrily. She is so hungry after her battle with that sinking mud pit.Nyra picked up the food and started to eat hungrily. Drake looked at her with amusement.'This female is a contrast to all the others I know. She doesn't fawn over me like they do. She doesn't worship the land I walk on. She dares to snap at me when she gets angry. I wish my mate has these qualities' he thought looking at her.Nyra noticed him looking at her weirdly.'Is something on my face? Why is he looking at me like that?'"Why are you not eating?" She pointed out.Her comment snapped Drake out of his daze."I was waiting for you to finish so that I can eat the rest" he drawled lazily.That's when Nyra noticed in front of her. Unknowingly she pulled everything in front of her, leaving nothing for him to eat.Nyra felt embarr
After his bath, they both started to walk in search of a way out. Drake is sure that they should walk in the Western direction to reach home. So they walked in that direction.Nyra is tired and she doesn't even have her shoes to protect her feet."Hisss.." She hissed with pain when she stepped on a thorn.The thorn is thick and sharp. It embedded itself in the soloes of her feet deeply. Immediately blood started to pool around the area.Drake looked behind him when he heard her painful sound. He found her sitting on the ground holding her feet, which is bleeding a little."What happened?" he asked slowly approaching her."Nothing" she snapped at him.She did not forget what he did that morning.He rolled his eyes at her and snatched her foot from her palms."Hey" she protested immediately."Shh.." he said and tactfully removed the thorn."There, you will be fine now," he said with a wink and got
Drake saw Nyra being pushed into a tree. Her hands are tightly pulled behind her back. And her attacker is trying to tear her clothes.He immediately went and pushed the guy away from Nyra.Louis was roughly pulled away from behind by someone. He looked up and found the furious face of none other than his nightmare Drake Hamilton."No, no" Louis chanted with fear.He started to crawl backward in fear.Drake reached him in just a couple of long strides and pulled him up by his neck. He started to squeeze Louis's neck tightly.Louis started to struggle to free himself away from Drake. But Drake is furious and all he wanted to do right now is kill the man in front of him.By his scent, Drake immediately recognized the other man as a red dragon. Red dragons have a very sinister smell associated with them."A stupid red dragon" he roared angrily.Louis became purple with a lack of oxygen. His strength is a no ma
Drake produced some thick yellowish-green leaves from his pant pocket. He crushed the leaves gently between his thick palms until a greenish liquid ooze from the leaves.He then gently applied that liquid on to her forehead nose and her chin.Nyra looked at him with gratitude.'I thought all the dragons are bad' She thought.Her grandmother always warned her to stay away from them. The dragons are the rulers of the world. They will not treat humans well. That's what she learned from her childhood.'But I guess I was wrong. Drake is gentle and caring. Even though I am currently his maid, he taking care of me as his own' she thought looking at him with admiration.He then proceeded to apply the medicine on to the soles of her feet."No, I will do it myself," Nyra said softly.Somehow, making him do these kinds of things for her seems to be intimate.Drake snorted with ridicule."Don't tell me your feet has som
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
