Tears started to trickle from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. Nyra turned around and left from there before they could notice her presence.
She ran into her room and collapsed on her bed. Her slim frame shaking with the intensity of her sobs.
She knew her stepmother did not like her at all. But she is depressed to find out that her father doesn't care about her as well.
'What have I ever done to deserve this father? Why do you always treat me like an outsider? I can understand Barbara's hate towards me. But you? A father is supposed to protect her daughter. Then why are you so indifferent towards me dad?' She thought and cried her eyes out.
'I thought at least he would be happy that I came back safe and unharmed. But he is not bothered about me at all. All he is bothered about is his job, wife and daughters' she thought bitterly.
After Drake left for work, she too had a bath and changed into a yellow summer dress to go and greet her father.
As soon as Drake left the Hamilton mansion, his mind linked, Mason.'Are you back yet?' Mason asked as soon as his mind buzzed with Drake's mind link.Drake ignored his question and gave an order of his own.'Meet me near red dragon Maxim's house' he instructed.Mason is shocked. He was walking towards his office, but as soon as he heard Maxim's name, he stumbled a little. The employees looked at him weirdly. He gave them an awkward smile.'Why him?' Mason asked in shock.But Drake is not in the mood to share. So he disconnected the mind link.Mason looked confused when Drake disconnected the mind link."He is scary when he is pissed. I think Maxim is in trouble" he muttered and immediately turned back to go to the red dragon's place.Drake saw Mason as soon as he pulled over near Maxim's house. It's not actually a house. It's a warehouse, in which the red dragon modified the top floor as his house and the ground floor i
Drake reached the Hamilton villa in no time. His anger is driving him faster than he usually drives. He still remembers the way he found Nyra under those dried leaves, completely helpless and vulnerable.If he didn't find her on time, then she would have been hurt or worst been dead by now.'This is all because of Maxim and Carlos. I will make sure to punish Carlos. He would not dare to look at my mate ever again' Drake fumed inside her head.He stepped outside his vehicle and could hear Mason walking towards him as well. He didn't wait until Mason could catch up to him. He knocked on the door and a maid opened it. He ignored her and went inside and stood in the middle of the living area looking towards the stairs.He knows the maid will inform his stepmother about his arrival. He waited for them, Which he usually wouldn't do. He comes to this place to only talk to his father. He usually talks inside the study and leaves without engaging any of th
Drake came out of Hamilton's villa and sat inside his car to go for work.But suddenly sadness engulfed him like a heavy cloud.'Mate is sad' Drakos chimed in.'Yes, she seems to be very sad' Drake agreed.As her mate, he could feel her every emotion to an extent now. But if the mating bond is completed, then he could feel everything fully.The mating bond will not be completed until he marks her on her neck. Then her dragon tattoo will get darker.He drove towards the Hamilton mansion in a rush.Mason, who is following behind Drake, thought that they are going to the company. But Drake drove towards the Hamilton mansion."Who's turn is it now?" he murmured with amusement."Maxim's face will be unrecognizable for a couple of days. I don't think Carlos would be able to walk properly for a month. I wonder who is going to be next on the list?" he thought, really excited to see the show.Drake could feel N
"Drake, look at me. I am not at all dressed to step inside. You go, I will sit in the car" she said with embarrassment.But Drake found nothing wrong with the way she is dressed.Her dress looks perfect for him. Her face is neat and devoid of any heavy makeup. Her bow lips are naturally pink and soft, shining like the sun rays falling on her face.Her soft cheeks are pink with embarrassment. Her hair smells of fresh strawberries. Her dark brown locks are cascading down her back in soft waves, teasing her waist.She has a unique scent, reminding him of jasmines.Drake did not answer her. Instead, he calmly stepped outside, while buttoning his coat. He reached to her side and extended his palm for her to take."Drake" Nyra hissed quietly, mindful of the guards around them."Yes?" he asked with a mischievous tone."I am underdressed" she stressed helplessly.Drake sighed and pulled her out by her elbow."You
In the Hamilton villaAfter Drake left, Sarah and Caroline were stunned. Sarah always detested Drake. She drugged his father Roland and married him. Roland too married her, taking responsibility for his actions.Roland always loved his first wife. If it's not for the drug, he wouldn't have spent a night with Sarah all those years ago, and marry her.He knows she was already pregnant by the time he married her. It was simply not possible for her to be three months pregnant when he met her for only a month.He made a mistake, so he owned up to it and married her, providing for her and her children, who are a couple of years younger than Drake.After Drake and Mason left, he eyed Carlos lying on the ground, groaning with pain.He ignored him and was about to go into his study when his wife stopped him with his angry voice."Why didn't you stop Drake when he was beating my son like this?" she asked angrily.Roland looked at her ser
After washing and wiping her face, Nyra looked in the mirror. Her face still looked a little flushed and her lips are a little swollen."This unreasonable beast" she cursed Drake for kissing her whenever and where ever he pleased.It's not like, she hated being kissed by him. Somehow she is feeling like, she is cheating on her mate.'He tried to kill you Nyra' her subcontinent reminded her.'Yes, but he is still my mate' her heart said.Her mind is a maze of confusion and she has mixed feelings towards Drake and her mate. Her mating bond always reminds her to be loyal to her mate, even when he tried to kill her. But her mind doesn't like that idea. Her mind likes being practical, and she wants to enjoy her time with Drake. Her heart is leaning more towards her mate.Her heart and body are at constant war.Her heart wants to be with her mate. But her body gives in whenever Drake kisses her or touches her."This is so confusing" sh
Mason led Nyra around the building, pointing at what is what."If you leave me now, then I might get lost in here," she said, making Mason chuckle with mirth."It's so huge," she said in awe."Ya," he agreed to look around."When I first started working here, I too felt confused and in awe at the same time. But I got used to it sooner than I thought possible" Mason shared his experience with her.Nyra smiled at him gently."Come, I will show you our technical department. It's just around that corner" he pointed out for her.When Nyra heard about the department name, her eyes lit up with interest. Mason did not notice her reaction.When they turned the corner, they noticed a commotion."What happened?" Nyra asked.Mason tried to look, but there are too many bodies blocking his view."I don't know, let's go and check" he murmured and led her towards the front and inside the department.When
Caroline was not allowed inside the technical department, as there was an issue that arises, and needs their complete attention. She saw people running like mad inside the department through the glass doors.'Must be something serious' she thought.She saw Mason and the yellow sundress girl talking with Drake. Then the girl went to talk to one of the guys working in front of a huge screen.Whatever she said, the guy nodded his head in understanding, and then after a couple of minutes of silence, the guy's face relaxed marginally and he told something to her with a relieved smile.The yellow sundress girl smiled at him and told him something else, pointing at his big screen. Since then, she started issuing orders to the others in the department as well.Caroline looked at the beautiful girl, with envy.'So she is someone important in the company. That's why they are listening to her without any resistance' Caroline concluded.She looked over
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
