Chapter 43: Broken Bonds

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-13 11:04:45

Mira's POV 

I wasn’t ready to meet Alexander.
Not for his face. Not for his voice. Not for the scent that still clung to my skin like a bruise I couldn’t scrub clean.
I was too raw. Too wounded. My body hummed with betrayal, my mind an avalanche of truths I hadn’t asked for. The only thing keeping me grounded was the quiet rhythm of folding clothes into my travel bag—as if the act of leaving could somehow stitch my heart back together.

The door opened. I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.
“Mira—gods, my love, what happened? I’ve been going mad looking for you,” Alexander’s voice was breathless, tender. He moved to embrace me—

I spun, rais

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 46: Forbidden Desires

    Dorrin’s POVI froze when Mira innocently asked me,“Will you stay? Please. I’m… scared of my own thoughts right now.”I knew she just wanted the support of a friend, but was I able to control myself being so close to her?Her gaze was full of hope and desperation, and my heart ached. I nodded and stepped in, closing the door behind me.She sat on the small bed, and I sat beside her without a word.“We’ll have to return soon,” she said quietly. “But I’m still not sure what I’ll do.”I hesitated as my future depended on her answered. I swallowed hard, asked. “Will you be able to forgive him?”“I don’t know,” she whispered. “But now that the prophecy is out... and I remain unclaimed... I’ll be a target. If I reject Alexander, the Council might try to force another bond. Maybe with you.”“They didn’

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 45: A Pleasant Gateway

    Mira’s POVI needed space—just one night away from the palace, from the pressure, from the tangle of truths I’d uncovered. My chest still felt too tight, my thoughts too loud. I needed time to think. To breathe. To decide what the hell I was going to do about Alexander.I sent a quick mind-link to my family and closest friends: urgent matters to handle, I’d be back tomorrow. No details. I wasn’t ready to explain.The marble halls of the palace echoed beneath my steps, my cloak pulled tight around me. I’d almost made it to the side corridor when I nearly collided with another shadow slipping into the night.“Where are you going?” I asked, stopping short.Marina froze. The usually quick-witted girl looked caught, eyes wide. “I’m… uh…” she fumbled, then exhaled. “To the human kingdom.”I arched a brow. “What a coincidence. We can share the ride.&rd

    Diana's POVThe sudden takeoff from Mira could only mean one thing—she’d had a vision, and not a pleasant one. Her scent was masked, but I’m a witch, so finding her was easy. I tracked her to her chambers, where her chest rose and fell in heavy, uneven breaths as she shoved clothes into a travel bag.I leaned against the doorframe. “Mira, what awful thing did you see in your vision?” I asked, ready to comfort her.She looked at me as if I were a ghost. “How do you know I had a vision?”I smiled faintly. “I’m a witch. And I also knew your gifts would blossom closer to your twenty-first birthday. You’ll learn soon how to control them—I’ll guide you. But I’m not just a witch, Mira, I’m your friend. Tell me… was it the past or the future

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 42: Truths Unveiled

    Mira's POVWithout hesitation, I sprinted through the palace halls until I reached the towering doors of the royal library. I burst inside and didn’t stop moving. My hands ran along the shelves, pulling books, scanning titles with frantic desperation.“Third shelf from the top,” a familiar voice called behind me. “Sixth book from the right. The red one. Page 128.”I froze and spun around. Caspian stood there, arms folded, and his expression unreadable.“What… what do you think I’m looking for?” I asked warily.“I overheard your screaming match with Liora,” he said calmly. “So I’m guessing you’re after the Januki Prophecy.”My heart hammered as I grabbed the red book and flipped it open. My eyes locked on the page number he’d given me.Then I looked back at him. “Why do you know this?”Caspian hesitated. Something flickered in his eyes

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 41: Fire in My Veins

    Mira's POVI was burning with rage as I tore through the palace gardens, my nails digging crescents into my palms. I masked my scent, slammed my mindlink shut—no one was going to track me down. Not yet, not until the painful burning in my chest would be gone.I wanted to shift, to let my wings race through the clouds until the ache in my chest faded. But more than that, I wanted to wrap my claws around Liora’s throat and rip until her smug little head rolled. The cunning bitch had dared to touch what was mine.And the gods, in their twisted humor, delivered her right to me.There she was—strolling lazily among the flowers in one of her usual slutty outfit, that dreamy, far-off look on her face like she hadn’t just ripped my soul open. She bent to smell a flower, fingers brushing petals as if she were some innocent maiden instead of a venomous snake.I didn’t think. I couldn’t breathe. I exploded from the foliage like a storm tearing throu
