King Alfred finished drinking blood and through a corpse of the maid on the floor.I was not a saint, but seeing how he just killed a poor girl was too much even for me. My stomach twisted, and for a second, I wondered how I ended up surrounded by monsters who didn’t even pretend to care."Alfred, please be more sensible. Liora is pregnant and needs to see only pleasurable things, "huffed Glafira, scolding her brother, but her eyes shone with mischief. She liked the chaos, the shock, the way the room thickened with tension."My apology, Lady Liora. I got carried away," said the king, licking drops of blood from his lips, "virgin blood is the sweetest one. "He said it like he was discussing wine, not murder."The sweetest blood is the mates' one," I corrected him."Since when you are so knowledgeable about vampires?" He smirked, lips stretched in a crooked smile, "I forgot you had a

Mira's POVAlexander waited already in the chambers. He grinned with a boyish smile, "You would never guess what happened."So better we would not even try," huffed Dorrin, slowly undressing, getting ready to take a bath. Alexander ignored his bitter remark, bounced from a sofa, and in the second was next to me, beaming from joy, "my mother is pregnant. All because of your healing. We are forever grateful to you. "The happiness in his voice was contagious, pure, and unguarded, and it eased something tight inside my chest. Moments like these reminded me that not everything was about duty or fear—some joys simply existed to be shared.I smiled shyly and gigled, "So your little brother or sister are just a few weeks younger than her niece or nephew." Alexander looked at me, "Actually, my mom got pregnant earlier than you, so a baby is older than others," his gaze shifted on my stomach. "Mira, you actually got already a baby bump," he mumbled."Impossible," I sqeaked as I was less t
Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen Chapter 86: The Unnamed Fear
Mira’s POV Alexander’s parents arrived, and he went to meet them. I excused myself, wanting a little quiet time before the celebration tomorrow. I went outside, kicked off my shoes, and lay down on the grass watching the sunset. The sky was painted in pink and golden flakes before darkness took over and the stars lit the earth. The moon was full and shimmered pale gold. I breathed slowly, soaking in a moment of peace where I wasn’t a future queen but just Mira. Mira who loved her mates breathlessly. Mira soon to be a carrying mother. Mira, who paints and writes. Tomorrow, I would plaster on a smile and dive back into the world of politics and power, but tonight, I clung to this moment of quietness. Dorrin came and lay down next to me. I turned my head and smiled as he took my hand in his. “I was so worried when I felt your fear through the bond, so I started running to you,” he said softly, caressing my palm with his fingers
Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen Chapter 85: Between Nightfall and Need
Alexander’s POVI clenched my teeth as, from the peak of absolute pleasure of building with my mate melting in my arms, I suddenly fell into an abyss of fear and fury. I couldn’t deny it—my worry wasn’t about Cora for Cora’s sake. I worried because if anything happened to her, it would shatter Mira.In a flash, I was at the indoor garden door, Mira peeking over my shoulder. Cora was on the floor, crying beside broken flowerpots and scattered soil.“What happened, dear?” Mira asked, slipping past me and hurrying to her.I scanned the space, searching for any trace of my uncle—nothing.Cora’s lips trembled. “I…I tripped and pulled the tablecloth, and all the pots fell.”I exhaled sharply in relief. So it wasn’t an assault—just an accident.“Oh, dear. It’s okay,” Mira said softly, drawing circles on her back to soothe her.
Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen Chapter 84: The Taste of Poisoned Intent
Mira’s POVMy heart was jumping against my ribs like a caged bird. With the palace now decorated in gold and white, early guests already arriving for my crowning ceremony tomorrow, fear started to creep in. What if I wouldn’t be a good queen? What if I wasn’t worthy?“You are kind, compassionate, smart, and strong. You will be an excellent queen,” Asfar said proudly, her eyes shining with fire. She added softly, “And you have our mates to guide and support you on your journey. Don’t underestimate them.”Asfar was right, and I nodded in agreement, but the tension still wouldn’t leave my chest. Something terrible felt as if it was looming over me.I inhaled deeply, then exhaled, placing my hand on the wall to steady myself and push the anxiety away. My eyes drifted shut as my breath slowed, finally relaxing—“You look breathtaking, princess.”The words were whispered almost against my ear, soft and seductive—but the voice, the heavy dark aura, the metallic-blood scent made my skin cra

Alexander’s POVI was outside, needed to clear my head as endless meetings were sofficating me.Velkan was clawing to surface, eager for a run, and I shifted and darted through the garden to the woods. Light breeze caressed my fur, and warm soil was softly kissing my paws.One of the rare time Velkan and my vampire were united as both of them wanted to hunt and have some fresh blood of a wild animal. Unfortunately, I did not have much time, and to both of them displeasure, I turned towards the palace to go back to my duties.I just tucked shirt in my pants, feeling the dark aura and burning gaze. I lifted my head and saw him.King Alfred was leaning at the palace wall with a large goblet in his hand.“King Alfred,” I have nodded politely but coldly.He smirked, “Uncle Alfred, for you, my dearest nephew”, he said and sipped from the goblet.My eyes widened and flicked red as I caught a familiar alluring scent of
