last update Last Updated: 2025-12-17 11:00:19

Alexander’s POV

“What do you want from me?” I asked Liora sternly, my voice sharp but strained beneath the surface. I was ready—no, desperate—to give her anything in this world if it meant getting Mira back alive, back breathing, back in my arms.

“What do I want?” she repeated slowly, tilting her head and placing a finger on her chin as if she were genuinely thinking. “What do women usually want? Love, money, power…”

She let the words hang in the air, savoring them. The pause stretched, deliberate, and cruel. I knew her too well—this was a game to her. She was enjoying every second of my misery, feeding on my fear like it was entertainment.

“Name your price,” I said, forcing a grin through clenched teeth, my jaw aching from the effort to stay composed.

“Straight to business, like always. No fun,” she replied, rolling her eyes lazily. “I want you to owe me a favour. When the time comes, I will ask you for anyt

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 96: Reclaimed in White Walls

    Mira’s POVMorning light slanted weakly through the blinds, but I barely noticed it. I woke to warmth and pressure—Dorrin and Alexander were in my hospital room. My chest lifted, pulse racing, and I felt it: Asfar’s strength, that surge of energy, rushing back through me. I could breathe, could move, could feel. Alive. Every inch of me hummed with energy I hadn’t realised I’d missed.“Good morning, Mira,” Alexander murmured, leaning against the edge of the bed, eyes dark, smouldering.“You’re ready to leave,” Dorrin added, brushing my arm, low and possessive. “Home. Your family and friends—they’ve organised a little welcome-back celebration for you as you miss your coronation feast.”I blinked, then a wicked, needy smile spread across my face. I did not want to think now about the kidnapper, I did not want to have a party or go back to my duties, I wanted to be theirs. To forget all pain in their hands.“No,” I whispered, voice trembling.“I don’t care about home. I don’t care about a

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 95: Blood and Betrayal

    Mira’s POV Cora saw the door opening too, a flicker of fear, desperation, and regret flashed on her face, but was quickly replaced with a wicked grin as she saw my mates already in the opening door. “If I am going to die, I will take you with me,” she spat and lounged on me, aiming directly at my heart. In this second, my head spins as I see beautiful memories shared with my family and my friends. Would I never see my mom’s beautiful face, would not hear my dad’s calming voice, would I not feel the sweet kiss of Dorrin on my lips and the warm touch of Alexander? Marina, Valen, my friends…And my babies, would they not see daylight? No, I refused to die. I could not run chained, but I flinched, and the dagger passed through my ribs below my heart and above my stomach. The heat started spreading—this gross, hot wetness soaking into my tattered dress—and I realised I couldn't catch my breath. Blood gushed out of my wound, and I felt weak, nauseated, and lightheaded as life was drainin

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 94: The Smile That Locked the Door

    Mira’s POVI opened my eyes, and the cold air sent chills through my body. My back leaned against the cold stone wall as my hands and legs were chained to it.My body trembled in terror, and I was not scared for myself….My babies. The tear slid on my cheek, and when I felt a slight movement. Goddess, my babies were fine.“Asfar”, I called my dragon through the bond, but I could not feel her.I tried to mindlink Alexander, Dorrin, and my brother, but mindlink was not working.I looked around, studying the small room. It had nothing inside. Maximum four by four meters and only stone walls, not even the door. How did I even get in? The air was also heavy, mixed with the scent of mold and dust. Most probably, I was underground, but who and where took me?I tried to break chains with the power of my mind, but my powers were dormant. I also feel extremely weak; only thick chains were holding me standing, otherwise I would have collapsed already on the floor.I felt helpless and afraid that

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 92: Playing with Fire

    Alexander’s POVMy blood ran cold as I saw the person I had been frantically searching for for weeks casually strolling through the garden with my uncle. For a split second, the world narrowed to her—her calm steps, her relaxed posture, as if nothing in the realm was wrong. As if my world was not burning.Big lilac eyes looked at me with open amusement, and she smiled innocently, almost warmly. That smile made something ugly twist in my chest.I wanted to squeeze her throat and shake her like a ragdoll until the truth spilt out of her mouth until that calm cracked.“Do not touch her,” James hissed, catching my hand and forcing it down, grounding me before I did something irreversible. “You have no evidence yet.”“Kill the bitch. She hurt our mate,” Velkan roared in my head, his rage blistering hot. My muscles trembled, bones aching to shift, and it took every shred of self-control not to lose myself right there in the royal garden.

  • Born to Rule: The Dragon Queen   Chapter 91: Taken

    Dorrin’s POVMira rushed to breathe the fresh air, and I could relate, as the air in the room was suffocating. Generous joy was mixed with fake cheers, expensive perfumes, and uncovered jealousy. It pressed against my skin, too heavy, too loud, as if the walls themselves were closing in.Still, my heart was beating unsettled in my chest, and waves of emotions surged through me like a tsunami—uncertainty, confusion, fear, emptiness. They came too fast, too sharp.And they were not mine.I felt Mira’s emotions through our bond, disordered and spiking in a way that made my stomach twist. Fear flashed, then dizziness, then a hollow stillness that made my breath catch. From the corner of my eye, I saw Alexander’s face go pale, his body going rigid as if he sensed it too.“Mira?” I mindlinked her, already rushing outside. Silence answered me.The bond strained painfully. Her side was blocked, like a door slammed shut, yet I could still feel her presence—faint, distant, fragile. She was aliv
