After Drake and Mason left, Nyra felt uncomfortable meeting her grandmother's eyes.
Cynthia noticed that, and a warm smile formed on her face.
"Let's go for a walk Nyra" Cynthia invited.
Nyra nodded her head and followed Cynthia out after pulling on her snickers.
When Nyra used to stay with her grandmother, walking into the town and buying some groceries in their weekly routine.
As they don't have a car, they walk slowly around the town walking and laughing, making the most of it.
"I am really very happy for you Nyra" Cynthia broke the silence after a few minutes.
Nyra looked at her grandmother in shock.
"I thought you would be angry" Nyra confessed guiltily.
Cynthia gave her a knowing smile.
"If you told me about Drake while we were still in the Hamilton Mansion, then yes, I would have been angry. But my opinion changed the moment that boy came for you here. And then, he explained to me everything. It's your relationship,
Anna and Nyra were chatting about everything and anything. Cynthia insisted on cooking and Betty offered to help.Betty is a gynecologist, who used to work in this town a couple of years ago. She shifted to another town for personal reasons. Now that Anna is pregnant, she came back to take care of her sister.Anna is Betty's younger sister. She is 10 years younger than Betty. They lost their parents when Anna was still a teenager. Since then, Betty has taken care of Anna until the moment she found Sean.After Anna found her Mate, Betty thought of extending her career and moved to another place. But now that Anna is expecting, she doesn't trust anyone else to take care of her sister better than her.So she came back for Anna.Betty and Cynthia are catching up with what happened in the period after Betty left the town."I can't believe Christopher did that" Betty exclaimed in shock chopping some vegetables for the salad.It's a small town, and
Nyra is struggling to understand everything Anna just revealed. Everything is too much to take in for her.Anna noticed the struggle on Nyra's face. The conflicting emotions myriad on her face confirm a suspicion that Anna has.'Nyra loves him too. But it's just that, she didn't realize it yet. If someone cares for you the way Drake Hamilton does, then it is a given that you fall for him' Anna thought."One more thing," Anna said startling Nyra.Nyra looked at Anna blankly."I noticed that you both are intimate with each other. Once mated, a dragon can only be intimate with his mate. But he is being intimate with you. That means, either his mate must be dead or she must have rejected him. The same will not apply to us, humans. It's just about loyalty and love for our mate, which will force us not to think about others" Anna said.Nyra caught one thing from what Anna just said."We can reject our mates?" Nyra asked hopefully.Anna didn'
Anna and her sister Betty left after lunch. Anna and Nyra exchanged their numbers. Cynthia too is happy to meet an old acquaintance.Cynthia and Betty decided to be in touch, now that the latter shifted to this town again.After Anna left, Nyra is on edge. She wouldn't be able to rest properly, until unless she talked to Drake about his mate situation.'If she is still in the picture, then Nyra would leave Drake permanently. She cannot be a home wreck for another woman.'But what if she is not? Then what?' Nyra hoped.'You can't be so selfish Nyra. Find out where she is. If it's possible, then help them to be together again' She decided.But then again, Anna's words rang in her head.'A dragon cannot be intimate with another woman if his mate is still in the picture' Nyra remembered.'He kisses me constantly and his hardness was evident a couple of times. If he can be intimate with me, then that means she is not in the picture' Nyra co
Drake could feel Nyra's anxiety through the bond. He doesn't know the reason, but he wants to find out. So he extended his wings and flew towards her grandmother's house.On the other hand, in the Hamilton villa, Caroline is angry on Nyra, for making her write so much. Her palms are still aching."Stupid human, how dare she bully me" she smashed a flower vase and yelled in anger.Sarah looked at her daughter with irritation."Now it's enough. You are destroying my expensive showpieces" she snapped at Caroline.Caroline glared at her mother."It's all because of you. If you didn't force me to go and work there, then I wouldn't have to go and work for a mere human" she said in frustration.Sarah looked at her stupid daughter with anger."If you want to become Mrs. Hamilton and Drake's mate, you should have the patience and cunningness for that" Sarah snapped.Caroline stood in the middle of her brother's room silently.Carlos
Sarah, Caroline, and Carlos don't have the slightest idea of what their drug did. Instead of making Caroline the future Mrs. Hamilton, it made Nyra instead.Only a selected few know the truth.The three of them just realized, Nyra is more than important to Drake. Which made Caroline hate Nyra soo much, that she wanted to twist Nyra's neck and kill her.She started to feel insecure.Sarah on the other hand is pacing the length of Carlos's room, fuming with anger. She never thought a human would capture Drake's attention.Sarah has to admit, that Nyra looks eternal. She has this captivating look going on for her.'No wonder all the men are going gaga over that human' she thought with hatred.No one can stop Sarah when she wants something. She wants the Hamilton mansion and the Hamilton fortune and power it gives her under her fingertips.Roland never let that happen. When he decided to marry her, he made her move to this vill
Nyra couldn't sleep that night. Partly because of what Anna revealed, and partly because, she got so used to sleeping beside Drake. Now sleeping alone feels like a punishment.'You are getting awfully attached to him Nyra. What if his mate returns from where ever she is?' her subconscious reminded her.That is what bothering her the most. If his mate is out there somewhere, and if she finally decides to return to him, then what will she do.Moving away from Drake is the ethical thing to do, for everyone involved. But what would happen to her?She has to learn to live without him. Staying with her grandmother would be the best thing to do.'I need to talk to him, and then I should decide what I would do with my life' Nyra decided.Drake could feel the turmoil and anxiety Nyra is facing.'What is making her so anxious?' he wondered.He is almost nearer to her grandmother's house, but he couldn't feel Nyra inside the h
Drake cursed himself in his head.'What a pickle' he thought.He can understand what Nyra must be thinking now. His silence is not helping anything either.He cannot tell her the complete truth, or he cannot deny having a mate.She is demanding to know where his mate is. He cannot say, it's you.He decided to tell a version of the truth, which is not a lie. He cannot keep lying to her and make their situation even worst."What you are thinking is wrong Nyra. I am not two-timing anyone. You trusted me for a reason, and believe it when I say that, I will never do anything to break that trust. I like you too much to play with your feelings. Won't the world know if I have a mate hiding somewhere? You even met my father, would he approve of our relationship if I have a mate? You stay with me in the mansion, you work with me in the company and you even share a bed with me at night. Wouldn't you know if I am two-timing? Won't hear from someone if I
"Checking on me, ha? How sweet" Nyra said in a teasing tone.Drake nodded his head, his eyes twinkling.Nyra snaked her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes.She pulled him down a little until their faces are inches apart."So you are so caring" she commented, they are breathing in each other.Her gaze flickered from his eyes to his lips."What do you think?" he played along."Hmm, let me think"She pretended to be thinking before answering him."That is really good to me and you should be rewarded" she whispered."Really? Then where is my reward?" he asked playfully.Nyra erased the few inches from between them and pecked his lips."That's your reward" she teased him.Drake looked at her hungrily."But I am hungry for more" he whispered."Then who is stopping you?" She said mischievously, before pulling away from him and ran away."It's like that ha?" he asked after her.
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
