She was supposed to be just a pawn in the games of throne that I played. A nanny for my Damian and perhaps also a little entertainment in my bedchamber as well. Why then did I have to risk it all for her sake? Why then was I willing to take a second chance? She was just a human. I had not felt this way even for my queen, a mighty dragon. *** Draco was a ruthless Dragon King who only cared about power and position. He and Liana were no match. The only thing connecting them was Damian. Damian was Draco's son from his deceased wife, Kiara. And he happened to slip down to the mortal human world. There he was being raised by Liana who saw him as her own son. Things turn difficult when Lucian, Draco's brother start developing feelings towards Liana just like he had for Kiara, in his heart.
ดูเพิ่มเติมIn the darkness, Liana could feel the thumping of her heart, loud and clear amid the perfect silence. She hid inside an abandoned, under-construction building. Her hands wrapped around the soft bundle; that was her baby boy, Damian. Her legs were shaking, and sweat was dripping down her forehead and body.
"Come on out, you bitch!" someone yelled in a malicious and loud voice as one of the walls between herself and her pursuer blew open.Liana ducked and started running down the other side of the stairs, almost crying in panic.She had always been a fast runner. The best in her class. But this was something else. She was running for her life. Rather, for both their lives, especially her son's,"How long do you think you can keep this up?" The voice roared once more as a few more bricks flew here and there."I will leave with my son; that's destined. Don't maul your feeble life in between. You have no power against my might. Stop annoying me, you little wench." The voice roared again as thunder rumbled in the background.Liana kept going down, even though her body was terribly shaking. She was having a hard time holding on to the child in her arms.The heavy footsteps following her weren't far behind. She could hear it quickly catching up as her fatigue and fright weakened her pace. She was struggling to find a proper footing as she descended the stairs."It's going to be alright. It's going to be alright," She was whispering in the baby's ears. But it was a reassurance for herself. She was trembling from head to toe. She had never seen anything like him before.He was a perfectly sculpted man with hair as white as snow and eyes as red as blood.His bare shoulders had scales for skin, and his lower body was made of steel. At least it looked like steel or some sort of metal. The mere sight of him was enough to make one stop breathing in fear. Leave alone the ferocity of his vocals. Everything about and around him reeked of inhumanity."Stop playing already; I have no time for this." He was suddenly in front of Liana as she froze in her tracks, as if petrified.As soon as he extended his hands to try and snatch Damian away from her grips, Liana took a few quick, involuntary steps backward. Neither did she think, nor did she look back.They were in an under-construction building. The stairs that they were standing on had no guards. Her sudden retreat took her flying off the seventh floor of the unfinished structure.As things around her zoomed past in slow motion, Liana turned herself with force. She thus positioned herself so that when they collided, the child stayed above, and she braced the earth. She was trying her best to make the collision as less traumatic and fatal as was possible for her baby. It was a motherly instinct. She didn't even have a moment to think about herself.As the ground zoomed in on her, she closed her eyes. The impact sent her rolling across the ground for several minutes.But hold on a second. Why would she roll over instead of smashing her skull open? She quickly opened her eyes. What met hers were those bright red iris, which were now rapidly changing color.She was lying over the steel body, covered in scales, her hands tightly wrapped around the owner. His one hand held her around the hip, and the other firmly grabbed Damian by his wrap.Before her brain could clearly decipher what actually happened, she stood up and pulled Damian back from his grip. He didn't seem as strong as he appeared, as Liana was easily able to take Damian back.She removed him from his swaddle and checked him thoroughly for injuries.The man suddenly came from behind as his hot breath fell on Liana's exposed back. She instinctively grabbed Damian in her arms before turning around. He raised his hands as she ducked for cover.But he reached for her forehead and wiped something away. He then turned his hands around and showed them to Liana. It was blood. She was bleeding on her forehead. How bad was it? She had no idea. There was too much going on for her to feel anything. But it must have been bad because it was bleeding again after he wiped it off."You need to do something about that." The malice in that voice was suddenly gone as the creature pointed in her direction. It was still hoarse and heavy, but tender. Much more humane, as one might say.Liana looked at him, confused.Just a few moments ago, there was a ferocious beast threatening her with death. Wild and feral, vicious and raw. A blood-creeping image that had made Liana cower in fright. Now suddenly in front of her was someone, or rather something, with compassion.Confused and puzzled, Liana didn't bother to respond to his gesture. Instead, she picked Damian up in her arms once more and started running as far away from the creature as she could.This time around, he didn't seem to move. She wasn't being chased. Liana looked around. He was standing still in the position she had left him in, his sight fixated on her. Liana slowed her pace, but she kept running while looking back.The creature standing before her was gradually morphing. The white hairs became shorter. His eyes were already changing colours.They were now a shade of green. His scales and steel had already transformed into skin. But his glare still hovered above her.Before Liana could marvel or wonder at what she was witnessing her eyes turned blank. Everything around her was flooded with a stream of white, rushing from all directions. Within what seemed like a fraction of a second, the white turned black.Liana found herself engulfed in utter darkness—the darkest it could get.Draco and Kiara travelled extensively between the dragon and human realm. They were blessed with twins within the span of the next couple of years. They named the twins Casius and Christopher. Draco stopped annexation of more lands. Even the Hell Hounds were glad to have a truce after the devastation that Draco had caused them. As news about Draco's changed demeanor and the miraculous rebirth of Kiara spread, more and more creatures from all around the dragon realm, came forward to form an alliance.It seemed like everything was falling in place. Nemesis had joined the ranks and was serving the kingdom as an honourable general. There was a huge uproar when Draco had declared that he was revoking the rule that forbade mating with human. " Anybody and everybody has the right to love whoever they wish, under my kingdom, " he had concluded with an iron fist. He had to pay by bearing an entire night under the Thunder Tree. That was his price for revoking a law that was existing. K
" So, am I truly your deepest desire Draco? "Kiara walked out of her room in a crop top and a pair of loose pants. They were at Liana's place, rather Kiara's. Draco asked Mystic Joe to get the papers ready in his name. They were back together in the place they first fell in love, the land of the human beings.Draco was reclining on the couch , the remote of the tv in his hand. He looked up at his lady love, his beloved wife, his Liana who was and always would be Kiara, his queen. " You look stunning. "He smirked as he pulled her over himself into a kiss. " The clothes of the human world suit you well, my queen. "Kiara broke off at that remark and pulled away from him. " What happened? Did I say anything offensive? " Draco asked, looking a little puzzled. " You never were like this with Liana, were you my king? Do you still not see me in the same light? " Draco looked into her eyes and smiled. He grabbed her arms and pulled her out with him. He jumped through the window with h
It didn't take long for the dragon troops to assemble where we were. But it neither bothered Lucian nor did Draco care. " I returned with the bloom of the Crystal Petal!"I tried to answer their curious looks but it further muffled them. " Crystal Petal? Are you saying it bloomed after million years? "Lucian asked. " It blooms in a million years only if it seems the ruler fit to grant him his deepest desire... " It was Master who came forward with the answer this time. " My deepest desire? "Draco turned towards him, looking rather co fused. It made Lucian smile. No, it was a scoff. " Yeah, right! Kiara could never be the one you desired. You were dying for your human fling. Seems like the heavens made a great mistake. Or are you not the ruler in it's eye. "Everybody gasped at what just left Lucian's lips. " Silence! Lucian , are you saying you had nothing to do with Draco's human fling? " " You know about Liana? " He asked me back, and it was clear how impossible he though
Before our feet could touch the surface of the dragon realm, I felt Lucian's hand slide behind my waist. Before I could turn my gaze towards him, he grabbed my hips and turned me around to face him. " I cannot pretend anymore. "I saw Draco make a smooth landing and then turn towards us. " I have suffered enough. You have suffered enough. I don't know by what dark witchcraft you were resurrected again, you I cannot let go of you any more. "Lucian's eyes reflected that mad audacity that lunatics had in them. It was futile trying to fight them. They were past any reasoning or explanation. " Let go of Kiara right now, Lucian! "It was exactly what I had feared. Draco was on my other side, with his fangs bared. " You... " Lucian scoffed at Draco. " What do you even care about Kiara, moron? " He stepped between me and Draco, poking him right at his chest. " She was just a baby making machine for you and you did get what you married her for. Now go live with your heir my beloved drag
I descended gracefully from the sky, my iridescent scales shimmering in the sunlight.The air in the human world seemed exceptionally sweet as I breathed in a lot of it. I could see them from a distance, tangled in a dead lock, each clawing the other as their blood dropped on the ground. They had attracted a lot of human attention. I could see that from a distance. I knew Lucian never gave a f*ck about rules or consequences but Draco? He was supposed to be the Dragon king. How could he become so careless. It was at this point that I saw them both freeze. They literally became statues , hovering in the air as their necks turned, in slow motion,towards my direction. They sensed my presence, and confusion washed over their faces as they stared at me. I could see the shock and disbelief etched upon their majestic features. Draco's fiery eyes widened, while Lucian's piercing gaze flickered with a mix of hope and uncertainty. Their bodies remained tense, locked in a position ready to c
Master was sitting alone in his room, drinking alone. It was clear that his mind was preoccupied and he looked a little disturbed. His mind was consumed with thoughts of the queen's mysterious resurrection. He pondered over the strange circumstances surrounding her return to life, unable to shake off the feeling that something significant was at play. His brow furrowed as he brooded, lost in the depths of his contemplation.Just as the silence of his solitude began to settle, the door to his room burst open, and Raba, rushed in, her scales shimmering with urgency. "Master!" Raba exclaimed, breathless from her haste. " I beg your pardon for this rudeness but you must come quickly! "Master's eyes widened in surprise, his thoughts abruptly interrupted. " There is something really urgent that you need to see! "She literally grabbed Master's wrist and pulled him towards the Royal security chambers. " Raba, what's happening? "He asked unable to hold back his curiosity. For Raba to be
The realisation of the fact that the one you loved with all your heart, has now given his heart away to someone else, isn't easy... Is it? Kiara stood in front of the wall in her old room. It had a wall so shiny that she could clearly see her entire reflection. Her hand was spread on the wall as she looked herself up and down. Her beautiful features were just the same. Young and vibrant, as if untouched by death. She looked down at her lower half and touched herself down from the lower abdomen. The skin was fit and fine. There was no distress left. No sign from the horrors that her body had to bear while she have birth to her child. Did Draco forget all about it as well? Had he really moved on? She looked at her face as her fingers touched her cheeks. She stretched the soft and supple skin as it bounced on her perfectly sculpted facial features. Then smiled sadly, " This is not the face he is in love with... "Her eyes shined as they moistened. " Will he even recognise me an
Kiara's eyes flickered open. She took a deep breath, feeling the cool air of the dragon realm fill her lungs for the first time in what seemed like an eternity. Her senses slowly started to awaken, and she became aware of the world around her, slowly but steadily. At first, she felt disorientated, not quite sure where she was or how long she had been gone. She blinked her eyes, trying to clear her vision, and took a few deep breaths, trying to steady herself. Slowly but surely, her memories started to return, and she remembered her fiery end and her eyes popped open with a jolt. At that realisation, she lets out a low, guttural growl, her anger building as she remembered the betrayal that led to her death. Her scales, once a vibrant shade of emerald green, started glinting with an intense red hue, a reflection of her simmering rage.As she slowly roses to her feet, her powerful muscles flexing, she stretched out her wings, feeling the weight of what seemed like, centuries of sleep
It was the middle of the night. The Dragon Palace was shrouded in an eerie silence as the crystal waters of the lake surrounding it glimmered in the moonlight. The air was thick .As if it was tensed with a sense of anticipation, as if something magical was about to happen.Suddenly, the water on the lake began to ripple and swirl, as if something was stirring beneath the surface.The dragons stirred in their slumber,their senses picking up the change in the air consistency of the Dragon Realm. "What's going on?" asked a young dragon, his scales bristling with excitement."I don't know," replied an elder dragon, her eyes fixed on the lake. "But I sense that something magical is happening."One by one every dragon in the kingdom began pouring in. They gathered around the lake, each looking at the other's face with question in their eyes. Unable to make out what really was happening in front of them. As they watched, a single stem began to rise from the center of the lake, reaching u
