All Chapters of The Dragon King's Chosen Bride: Chapter 361 - Chapter 370

He pulled away and smiled. “The day does not wait. We must hurry.”“Of course. Lead the way.” With that, they continued their journey. Just as Belladonna had suspected, Eli didn't take her to Kestra’s corpse. He had taken her to Kestra, who was leaning by a tree waiting for them.Her ears perked the moment she heard them move closer and a smile crossed her lips. “We meet again,” she stood away from the tree and turned to them, “Little Girl.” Suddenly, a red globe made of ice trapped the three of them within it. Belladonna panicked slightly. She had been prepared for this, still, the fact that this was real was different from just suspecting it to be real. It didn't help that she was now trapped in the same space with her. Could Lytio and the witches break into this Ice globe?By Ignas, it was hard to breathe!All this did was remind her of the Red Moon. She pulled away instinctively but Eli’s grip around her wrist was too tight she couldn't escape. “You said she was dead!” K

Trigger warning - Grief. (Please read with caution, this chapter contains a very sensitive subject.)__________There was a lady in a white flowing robe, with long silver hair, and a dagger dripping with blood etched into her stomach with her hand over it. She extended her other hand to Belladonna and whispered something in a language that she seemed to understand despite not having ever heard it before. Belladonna's hand held the lady’s outstretched own, something surged through her at their contact and she woke up. She was drenched with sweat, her heart was racing wildly and her breathing was fast and ragged. It was dark and the room she was in was lit with a lantern. There were people in the room too, standing at either side of her. “You are awake,” Zesika, the one she recognized in this room, said. “How are you feeling?” Belladonna parted her lips to speak but slowly she frowned, as she remembered everything. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Where is Eli?” She asked instead,

“Maybe things would have turned out differently, maybe Eli would still be alive, maybe our child would be alive—”“Eli made a sacrifice,” he held her head between his palms, commanding her attention, “knowing fully well what it would entail. He laid down his life for yours. He wanted you to live.”Belladonna blinked at those words. Eli wanted her to live. “You did not kill him.”“But— but my hand was on the dagger and I—”“You did not kill him, Nightshade.”“Let me speak, Alaris!” She yanked herself away from him. “Let me be mad at myself!”Silence fell between them and his hands fell to either side as he watched her scream and pull her hair, breaking the silence. “Ahhhhhhhh!” Her eyes were filled with tears, his eyes glistened with the same. A grieving person trying to console another. How would that even work?“Alright then. My Eli…” she wiped her tears away aggressively as if annoyed that it was even there. “He made such a great sacrifice, the least I could have done for him

The fire in his father's eyes vanished, his wolf’s presence drew back into his mind, disappearing from the surface completely as silence took over the room. “I did it for us.” His father's shoulders dropped. “For you, for her. For all of us!”“Including your antics to keep me trapped in the Human Realm till my death? You lied to me that the Elders would summon me home, but a Moon passed, and nothing! Was that for me too, father? Did you do that for me?”The Alpha shrugged. “You have become a burden. You wreak havoc everywhere you go. Unfortunately, you are here now.” He chuckled, a sound devoid of humour. “It would have been good riddance.” As much as Ikrus had grown a tough sink to his Father's usual words, these ones seemed to hurt differently. They went past his hardened surface and sank straight into his heart. “I don’t deserve that, I did nothing to you.”The Alpha sank into his throne. “You were dividing my army!”Ikrus chuckled, darkly. “I did no such thing but earned their

Aniya flinched, and Ulima quickly wiped the milk away with their napkin. *” Go back to where you came from, you maggot.” Her eyes were filled with apology, her voice was gentle and soothing, while the words that slipped past her lips were nothing but foul.The other maid, Ganisa, quickly knelt by Aniya’s side, getting the other stains of the milk off Aniya’s skin with her napkin. She wiped too hard on nothing, and Aniya flinched. *“The stains that I give the earth are better than you.” She held Aniya’s gaze, like she was giving an apology. Mistaking their words for apologies, Aniya nodded, telling them not to worry about her. She had more things to worry about right now than the stinging feeling in her shoulder. Despite feeding him, her son was still warmer than he should be in her arms. Her worry was consuming her. Hopefully, they would be able to understand her language. “Are there any physicians that can help me? My son is sick.” Tears built up in her eyes. If Arlo were to die
