All Chapters of The Oracle and the Dragon Prince: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

When we got the hospital, Aidinth and I walked into Kimber's room, and she was sitting up and smiling. I said, "There she is! How are you feeling, sweetheart?" She says, "I'm feeling okay. I might get to go home tomorrow, but I won't get to go to back to school for a week." I said, "Well, at least you're going to get to be home, and eat soup and lay around and watch TV all day." She smiled, "Yeah. I kinda wish I had a TV in my room." I said, "When you're not feeling good, your own bed is the comfiest place there is, isn't it"? She smiled, "Or in my daddy's arms." I smiled, "You are correct on that one. I lost my daddy when I was your age, but I still remember feeling so safe when he hugged me or held me." She smiled and nodded. "Prince Aidinth and I have something for you," I continued, "First, we have this." I gave her a gift bag, and she pulled out the Princess doll. She hugged it tightly and said, "She is beautiful, and her dress is my favorite color!" I said, "I knew this doll w

Aidinth and I spent the next three hours talking with Hydra and watching the kids play at the park. Finally, Aidinth stood and said, "Okay, guys, time for lunch. We need to go back to the castle for now." Hydra said, "I can get the funeral arrangements done." I said, "Heavens no. We will get that done after lunch. You concentrate on taking care of that sweet little treasure of yours... and maybe checking on Drago and the kids." She said, "I will. Thank you for everything." We all smiled, "goodbye," and got in the car to go back to the castle. We kept hearing Brenna and Ity talk about the park and asking if I could do that at the castle. I told them that it would be up to their parents, and it would have to wait until later.  We ate lunch with King Uther and Queen Chumani, while listening to Brenna and Ity beg their father to let me put a park on the castle grounds. Finally, he said, "I see no reason why we couldn't do that, but if I hear you two bugging Chloe about it,

After helping Aidinth with his issue, I had to take another shower, then I went to our closet and chose and black knee-length dress with long sleeves. I wore my knee-high boots, changed the color to black, then walked to my dressing table. I sat down and blow-dried my hair. I decided to skip eye liner today, because I feel like I am going to cry, at some point. I put on a clear lip gloss and turned to see Aidinth looking extra handsome in his navy suit. I shook my head, "How did I get so lucky to have such a handsome mate?" I said, "I always ask how I got the most beautiful mate. When I saw you, I told the Moon Goddess that I didn't know what I did to deserve you, but I would work every day to earn this blessing." I smiled and said, "I feel like I don't deserve you. But we can argue about this all day, and it will get us nowhere. Let's go eat some breakfast before we go." We walked hand in hand to the dining room and sat at the King's table. Queen Chumani said, "Good morning

I almost laughed. Instead, I said, "I am positive. But if there is a doubt, how about you ask the guards who pulled her off of me? Ask Luna Abby if it was her in the room with her when I asked her if I was ugly. Ask Aidinth if it was her when he walked past her to get to me to tell me I was beautiful. Ask King Uther when he saw and heard her scream that I was too ugly for Aidinth now. It's not like we have a lack of witnesses." I stopped, took a deep breath, calming breath, then I looked at Aidinth who was smiling at me. He knew I said, the exact thing I needed to say.  The judge looked at the defense attorney as if he was stupid, "Seriously? What kind of bonehead question was that?" He said, "Well, sir, she has a twin sister, and we were trying to establish that it was her." I said, "There is no way they mistook the person who attacked me. They literally caught her red-handed with my blood! She was in the middle of stabbing me, when they pulled her off of me." The defe

When we got home, King Ryu was sitting with King Uther and Queen Chumani in the sitting room. We joined them and Aidinth said, "Your mate and son are now gone, King Ryu." He smiled, "Thank you for going. I just didn't have it in me. Over the last few years, I have come to hate them both. Does that make me a horrible man?" I said, "No, it's the sign of a good king. One who cares about his kingdom and doesn't want it to be run by power hungry people. Are you going to be okay?" He smiled, "Princess Chloe, I'm going to be better than I was before they were executed. I know that. Tiamat's constant whining and nagging is a thing of the past and so is Brantley's constant tantrums. I swear, if I am blessed with a fated mate and we have a son, he will be expected to go through warrior training and will work for everything he gets." I said, "I'm sure there is a mate for you. Luna Abby from my old pack has a ball every year for unmated males and females of all species that we are in al
