Ella - POVImmediately after our Alliance, Archer had gone to see Father discuss the Alliance and prepare for the next conflict, whereby he would join us against Elliot and Blair. While James went back to get ready for his realm."What are you thinking about?" When Darcus walked up to me with lunch, I didn't feel like eating, but he wouldn't listen to me."I am considering how I should tell Hana about this dragon and magic since she won't believe me and she will think I am crazy," Darcus smirked at me since I didn't trust Darcus when he explained to James that he is a warlock and I laughed at his worlds back then."Hana is a human, and you know that if she finds out about the Dragon shifter, it might put her in jeopardy," Hana said. Darius sat down next to me and signaled for us to eat our lunch. "I really don't feel like eating," I moaned."You must eat since you will need herbs to stabilize Ziya's energy," Darcus said harshly, and I ate up. This reminded me of my father's treatment
Ella - POVI saw Henry enter the office and take a seat. "So, what is the most recent information that we have?" The icy gaze that Darcus cast at Henry was identical to what he cast upon me when I first began working with him."The order you issued to execute Arya couldn't be carried out because the assassin killed our troops, liberated Arya, and fled." Henry said these words, and it set ablaze the Darcus irises."If she is alive, why do you continuously failing my command, Henry?" Darcus screamed with frustration. Henry dropped his head in shame."What is the current situation with Elliot and Blair?" Inquired Archer."I cannot answer that question, Mr. Taylor; only if his majesty asks me will I respond," Henry replied harshly, and Archer's face twisted into a frown."Henry Archer and James should know they're in my Alliance. But, Henry, you're free to say whatever you want." Henry's eyes rested on me. It made me uncomfortable to think that he may gaze at me to see if I had accepted D
Ella - POVIt's already dark, and they served supper in the castle. The servants were preparing for the forthcoming celebration. When I go into the dining hall, I notice Archer, James, and Darcus eagerly waiting for my arrival. After we had finished eating in what I could only describe as an uneasy quiet, I excused myself from the dining table. As I make my way to the training field, I see no one is there. So I stood looking at the night sky in the quiet. Archer strode towards me, and I averted my sight and looked up at the sky as he approached me."What do you want?" Archer stepped next to me. I didn't even glance at his form."Don't be unkind, Ella. I came here to relax and unwind, but I saw you were already here." As I sighed, I turned my gaze to him, who was staring at the sky."Then I'll leave you alone in this place." I take a few steps away from the Training field."When you were a kid, did you remember me visiting your house?" Archer's comments caused me to whirl around and hi
Darcus - POVMany Dragon Aristocrats' royal court members appreciated my presence, while others were enraged. The Hostile gaze I am getting from the Aristocrats was from my mother's followers, and they despised my power. I considered eradicating my mother's supporters, but I could not take any action against them because of a lack of proof. Finally, however, I have made their path and put a strict law on and taxes on products they deal in, influencing their business downfall. As I stepped upon the throne, my gaze rested on Ella, who stared at me with a surprised expression on her face. I can imagine how bizarre it would seem to Ella to look about and see things so different from the human world."Thank you, everybody, for coming. I'd like to extend a warm greeting to the Hope and Wolf families as we commemorate our Kingdom's alliance with them today. Members of my family have committed treason. Former King Elliot Former Queen Arya and my stepbrother Blair are crown criminals; if yo
Darcus - POV"Do not be concerned about the Wolf Realm. I have already infiltrated rogues pretending to be members of the pack, and they are bringing the wolf clan to its knees." Blair said with a smirk, and so did Elliot, and Arya smirked as they drank from their glass. James had Archer in his hands and had subdued his beast."Why couldn't you get rid of James' new tribe?" Elliot inquired as he set down the drink."I followed the spy that day with the purpose of eliminating James' new clan. I did not know James was going to be there, so I had to escape. My gut had a sense that it may establish these alliances because of the protective contract that Ella's father made with her bastard of a pact that he had with James and wolves. Old Hart devised a strategy as if he knew what the future would bring." Blair spoke, and Elliot sat in deep thought while Ruke sat drinking."I will murder you since you assassinated my father, and now you're badmouthing him," Ella said in a vehement voice. It
Ella - POVDarcus has lost consciousness, and his breathing is becoming shallow. After that, James, Archer, and Henry carefully returned Darcus to the castle, and Henry raced to summon the physicians; I was there, standing when I saw Darcus lying on the bed, and I felt the grief and anguish in my chest when I saw Darcus in such a condition."He'll be just fine, Ella." I called Dave, and he will heal." I listened intently to what James had to say and nodded in agreement without looking away from Darcus's figure."James, the pain of losing him is too much for me to bear." James wrapped his arms around me as I cried uncontrollably."You will not lose him." Archer stated as I broke my grip on James. Dave raced to the scene, and James approached him, explaining the issue. Henry stormed into the chamber, followed by the castle doctor and Zac on his toes. He stepped over to comfort me."I apologize, Ella. So much happened in the realm and Darcus suffered so much that I was completely unaware
Ella - POV One year later The threat of war has passed, Elliot, Blair, and Arya have all passed away, and the contract made with the dark world has been broken. So after our mate connection, Darcus and I started resuming our relationship. Darcus wanted to date me because he believed I had hurried into mating him, and it prepared him to break the mating bond to ensure my happiness even if I changed my mind within a year. I attempted to convey to him the sincerity of my emotions, but he wanted to date me, so I gave in. When Hana gave birth to her twins, I provided a helping hand, and even Darcus was there to lend a hand. I informed Hana about Darcus and I dating, and I assured her that Darcus did not cheat and that it was all a misunderstanding, and when Hana saw me happy with Darcus, she stopped arguing about it. Darcus wanted Hana to take care of her children and be around, so he encouraged his HR team to let Hana work from home. This choice genuinely pleased me. Hana was happy
