Mira’s POV

My lips parted. I gasped.

Alexander and Grace stood fully dressed in the large, spacious room. Grace held a platter of pastries; when she noticed me, she froze mid-chew.

Alexander’s expression went blank—like a deer caught in headlights.

Servants moved around them, adjusting bookshelves, moving a sofa, and arranging large potted plants.

“Mira, what are you doing here?” Alexander asked, the words awkward and rushed. The disappointment in his voice cut deeper than the question.

“I wanted to see my mate. Is that a problem?”

Grace lowered the platter onto a side table. Her smile was polite, careful. “I’ll leave you two alone.”

Neither of us stopped her. She motioned for the servants to follow, and the room emptied, the door closing far too softly.

“So this is where you sneak away with Grace,” I said, my gaze slowly sweeping the room. “Cosy place for meeting your lover.”

“Mira—no. This is for you.” He stepped closer. “I wanted you to have a space to paint and write. Gr

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 123: The Forbidden Calling

    Dorrin’s POVIt felt as though the floor had vanished, leaving me suspended in a cold, ringing silence where the world was nothing but static. My mind went white, unable to process what had just happened, while a strange, heavy numbness settled into my chest like lead. For a heartbeat too long, I couldn’t even remember how to breathe.The roar of Storm, who tried to take control, returned me to reality—violent, furious, clawing at my bones as if my dragon could force the world to undo what it had just taken from us.Mira had just disappeared into the mirror.Gone. As if she had never been here at all.Alexander was standing there, touching the glass surface of the mirror, his fingers pressed flat against it, desperate, disbelieving. But the glass looked ordinary—cold, smooth, cruelly normal.The maids were pale, gasping in shock, one of them covering her mouth as if afraid the sound of her own breathing might shatter what little control remained in the room.“Damn it,” cursed Alexande

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 122: Beyond the Glass

    Mira’s POV Waiting for my mates to finish their meetings, I fell asleep and didn’t even wake up when they arrived. I woke up so well-rested, wrapped in warmth, to find my mates watching me. “Good morning, love,” Dorrin whispered, pecking my lips. “My queen,” Alexander murmured, kissing me softly. “Are you ready for your big day?” Dorrin asked, playing with a strand of my hair, his touch grounding. “Yeah, but no mud and torture,” I mumbled. They both froze, looking at me in confusion. I giggled quietly. “Last time, I went through hell getting ready for my coronation. A spa should be a pleasure, but it was more like torture.” Dorrin chuckled. “No, this time only a bath. The maids will help with your hair and makeup. And both of us will get ready with you.” Alexander ran a hand through his hair and winked at me. “Don’t future king need to look handsome on their coronation day?” “And after last time, we’re not taking any chances,” Dorrin added. “One of us will always

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 121: He Is in My Head

    Mira’s POVAlready shaken by Liora’s half-truths, all I wanted was rest before tomorrow’s big day. Silence. Distance. To hide in the familiar comfort of my chambers, wrapped in the safety of my mates’ presence—even if they were not physically there. I was drained, raw, and absolutely not in the mood for conversations.And of course, fate—or cruelty—made sure I ran into the last person I wanted to see.“Queen Miroslava, why are you in such a rush?” King Alfred asked as we collided in the hallway.Before I could even inhale to answer, his gaze slid over me slowly, lingering where it had no right to linger. “Pregnancy looks good on you,” he added smoothly. “You look even more irresistible.”From his lips, even compliments felt like insults—oily, unwanted, invasive. My skin crawled. I wanted nothing more than to brush past him and leave, to put distance between us. But I was a Queen, and he was a King of another realm—our guest.Duty forced my spine straight.“King Alfred,” I nodded polit

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 120: The Question That Haunts Me

    Mira’s POV Yesterday, I almost met my death and faced betrayal of a royal court—faces Alexander trusted, who wanted to murder me in cold blood. Tomorrow, I would be crowned as the Werewolf Queen, with even more responsibility pressing on my shoulders, heavier than any crown, heavier than steel. Yet none of that was what kept my chest tight, my thoughts spiralling. Why was the only thing on my mind, my mysterious saviour? The man who appeared and vanished like smoke. Who was he? And why did he protect me? Diana approached me, lowering herself to sit beside me on the emerald grass. The scent of earth and dew did nothing to calm the restless storm inside me. “Here you are, hiding. Some early guests for tomorrow’s coronation have already started to arrive,” she said, then added after studying my face, “Are you all right? You look… disturbed.” I bit my lip, hard enough to feel it sting. If I didn’t speak now, I felt like my thoughts would consume me. Diana was the only one

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 119: Anchored in Fire

    Mira’s POV These mysterious green eyes were flashing in my mind. I wanted to forget them, forget the fact that I had been on the edge of death. The memory of the cold blade, the way my chest had tightened, the panic that had clawed at me—it was still raw, crawling under my skin, making my pulse quicken even now. I tried to tell myself I was safe, that I was back in my bed, but the shadows of that fear refused to leave. The warm touch of my mates drying me after the bath was soothing, soft like a balm against the tremor of adrenaline still rattling through my body, but it wasn’t enough. I needed more. I needed both of them. I needed to feel them claiming me, grounding me, reminding me that I escaped death. “I need both of you,” I pleaded, my voice trembling, raw with need and desperation. “Love, let the physician examine you first,” Dorrin said, ready to dress me in my pyjamas. His concern was kind, protective, but it only made my heart ache more—why did I need more than safety? I

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 118: Verge of Death

    Mira’s POV The time froze as a dagger was moving swiftly toward my throat. The strong queen with the most powerful creature in her belly was going to die disgracefully. Maybe on the edge of death, I was hallucinating, but the delicious scent of marshmallow and strawberry hit my nostrils and I saw a silhouette of a tall muscular frame and familiar sea green eyes flashed. I felt my chest tighten, my lungs struggling to take in air, my heart hammering so hard it felt like it would burst. Every nerve in my body screamed in raw terror and disbelief. My stomach turned, nausea twisting with the fear that this could be the end. I could almost hear the echo of my own terrified heartbeat over the screaming in my ears. Suddenly my torturer’s grip loosened and a dagger never reached me. A piercing scream filled the air and Grace fell. I blinked frantically, trying to process the chaos, my hands trembling so badly I could barely hold myself upright. I jumped to my feet seeing six bodies
