เข้าสู่ระบบAdriana struggled and tried to twist her hands from their grip, but it was futile, and she was dragged out of the castle and towards a direction.She could already hear the distant sound of cries and wails, and her heart thundered in her chest.She was in Aurora's body, and she couldn't get out.*Hey old woman. What is going on?! Why am I in her body?!* Adriana screamed, but no answer came, and she was still being dragged.Adriana knew what was about to happen was going to be deadly, and with the looks of it, there would be no mercy.She saw a crowd already gathered in a place, and she was being dragged over there. The crowd parted when they drew close, and Adriana was thrown to the front.She fell on her face, and she groaned.Whispers erupted behind and around her, and Adriana raised her head to see the crowd's eyes on her. Their face held disdain, while some held disbelief and surprise.Adriana looked around her, and she saw some people kneeling on the ground with their hands tied
The wet towel on Adriana's head slipped off, but Kallias replaced it.He had laid her down on the mattress after she had slumped and fallen into unconsciousness.Ella had alerted the inn woman, who had brought water and a fresh towel, and Kallias had wiped away the blood on her lips.Her body was burning, so the wet towel was the only solution now.The inn woman had gone back to seek a healer, and they were waiting.Adriana's body suddenly shook, and Kallias held her shoulder.Her face looked like she was in pain or something worse than that. A tear slipped from her closed eyes, and Kallias brushed it off.He felt a tearing in his heart when she had coughed out blood, and he hated that all he could do was to watch her as she struggled against unknown forces.He wished he could do something or at least wake her up, but he was left with just a towel and a basin of water.He took the towel off her head and dipped it again into the water. He squeezed it and placed it back on her head."Th
"Every power comes with a price.""A blessing can be a curse.""A curse can be a blessing."That same voice said those words again, and Adriana's eyes snapped open, and they met with a pair of dark eyes that looked as old as time itself."Who are you?" She questioned the frail, old-looking woman standing in front of her."All questions has it answers, and this one will be answered later." The old woman said.Adriana looked around her. She stood so close to a sea that stretched out to its horizon.The King wasn't here. Neither was Ella nor Chris."Where am I?" She turned her head to face the old woman, but she was no longer there."Somewhere you are meant to be." The voice of the old woman sounded behind her, and Adriana turned around."Let your eyes open and see, I pray thee." No sooner had the woman uttered the words than Adriana pushed into the clutching hands of the waters.Adriana let out a scream, but it was swallowed up by the sea she sank into.Her hands and legs jerked up, but
The air stilled, and Kallias could hear her heartbeat as clearly as if it was his.His fingers still lingered on her lips, and he waited for her response, even as he felt his dragon already leering and wanting to break free.Very slowly, she nodded twice, and it took all the willpower in him to withhold Xio."Words, Adriana." He said to her.If she was giving her approval, he wanted it to be said out loud.Her response came instantly."Yes," Her voice shook. "Kiss me."Kallias let out a low growl as the last thread of his control snapped and his fingers moved from her lips down to curl around her neck, and he drew her close.The second he tasted those soft lips of hers, every rational and logical thought slipped away from him, leaving nothing but desires and wants.Her lips opened for him, and he dived his tongue into her mouth, exploring the walls and seeking the treasures it had to offer.Her scent filled his senses, and he found himself pressing for more. He gripped her waist, want
Kallias waited for her to finish, and it ended as soon as it escaped her."My apologies, Your Majesty." She grimaced. "I didn't mean to...""But you laughed." He completed."My apologies."Kallias eyed her, then he picked up the second potato on the tray."Let me unpeel it for you..." Adriana began to say, but he brushed her off."I'll do it myself. I'm not a child."Adriana clamped her mouth shut."Eat up." He said to her as he unpeeled the potato.Adriana inclined her head, then she took a bite from the potato and sighed softly.She hadn't eaten anything except from the morning meal in the dining hall, and she had been engrossed with escaping, so thoughts of food had ceased from her mind.She took another huge bite and Kallias almost smiled.Her face was comical as she shut her eyes briefly. Then the tip of her tongue darted out, and it swept over her lower lip slowly.Kallias gulped as his eyes were fixated on her face. He forced himself to look away, and he took a small bite from
Adriana stood at the doorway for some seconds before going in, and she closed the door.There wasn't any bed in the room; only two mattresses that looked as old as time lay on the floor. Kallias was already bent over one, and he unrolled it and let out a cough. The mattress had dust all over it, and he tried to dust it away.Then he laid it on the ground and stared down at his hands. The blood had already dried on his skin, and he wished he had asked for water before the inn woman went away.A knock sounded outside right at that moment, and Adriana went to open the door. The inn woman stood at the threshold with a basin filled with water and a towel in her other hand.She peeped inside and met Kallias' eyes, and she gave him a sneer before looking at Adriana."Use this to wash up. At least, your hands need a cleanup."Adriana looked down at her bloodied sleeves, then back up at the woman."Thank you." The woman grunted, and Adriana took the basin and towel and shut the door again.S
Adriana's eyelids fluttered open and she opened her eyes slowly.The first thing she saw was the moon nestled between the clouds, its silver light shining down on her face. This was a beautiful night and on a normal day Adriana would have enjoyed gazing at it feeling at peace, but now peace was far
Alpha Raymond stared at his soon-to-be son-in-law like he had grown two heads.Xavier's lips quivered and he repeated the exact words he had spoken a moment ago.“Adriana is dead.”“How foolish of you to say that about my daughter!” Alpha Raymond snapped.“I didn't want to believe it as well, but i
Adriana held the wall for support, feeling like her world had come crashing down.She couldn't deny what she had heard within this door.Xavier was having an affair with her sister.The realization hit harder than their words and her despair turned into rage.How dare they?How dare he deceive her
Footsteps echoed on the marble floor as people bustled around with trays of food, drinks, and flowers. The air was misty with the scent of the delicious food being prepared and mingling with the flowers hung on the walls.A woman with grey hair tied into a tight bun barked out orders and tapped her
