The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride The First Strike 1
"Pandora!" Someone pounded on my bedroom door hard enough to wake the entire hallway.I shot upright before I even knew where I was. The room was still dark, but alarm bells echoed across the palace, their sharp cries rolling through the stone walls one after another.Maria's voice came again. "Pandora, open the door! Something's happened!"I hurried over and pulled it open. Maria stood outside, still wearing yesterday's dress with a cloak thrown over her shoulders. Stiles clung to her neck, his tiny ears flattened as though even he understood something was terribly wrong."What is it?""I don't know everything," she admitted, trying to catch her breath. "The bells started a few minutes ago. Everyone's being called to the palace."Before I could answer, Astria's voice entered my mind. "Get dressed. This isn't a drill."Her tone sent a chill through me. She wasn't frightened often. I changed as fast as I could, pulling on my training clothes beneath a heavy cloak. By the time I stepped
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride Before the Battle
Back To Pandora's POV "You're thinking too much again." I looked up from the palace wall and found Maria walking toward me with Stiles perched on her shoulder. The little dragon had somehow stolen an apple twice the size of his head, and he was trying very hard to pretend he hadn't. He was always stealing one thing or the other, typical Stiles."I wasn't thinking," I said.Maria raised an eyebrow. "Pandora, I've known you long enough to know that's a lie."I couldn't help smiling. "Is it that obvious?""It is when you stare at the same mountain for ten minutes."She came to stand beside me, resting her arms on the stone railing. Below us, the training grounds were packed with soldiers practicing from sunrise. Blacksmiths worked without stopping, carts carried supplies through the courtyard, and messengers hurried in every direction.The palace hadn't been this busy in weeks. Nobody said the word war anymore. They didn't have to. Everyone could feel it.Stiles climbed onto the wall an

"Again." The man standing in the center of the war room swallowed hard. "Your Majesty, I've already delivered everything I know."Roland leaned back in his chair and tapped a finger against the wooden armrest. "Then tell it again."The spy exchanged nervous glances with the guards before continuing. "The reports remain unchanged. Pandora is alive and still residing in Scorish. Astria publicly revealed herself months ago, and the people have accepted Pandora as her rider."Roland's eyes remained fixed on the map spread across the massive table. Every border, village, mountain pass, and trade route had been marked in ink. Small wooden pieces represented armies, supply routes, and scouting positions.Most kings used maps to protect their kingdoms. Roland used them to conquer others. "The dragon?" he asked.The spy nodded. "Every report confirms it. Astria has bonded with her."A smile appeared on Roland's face. The reaction surprised several people in the room. The messenger had expecte
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride The Dragon Queen Rises
"I don't care what they're calling me."I shoved my sword back into its sheath and grabbed the water flask beside the training fence. The morning sun hung low above the training grounds, and every muscle in my body ached from hours of practice.The soldier standing nearby scratched the back of his neck. "You should hear them when you aren't around."I sighed. "Trust me, I don't want to."A few of the soldiers laughed, but the man looked completely serious. "I'm telling the truth, Princess. Half the kingdom already calls you the Dragon Queen."That title again. Ever since the discovery at the shrine and everything that followed, it seemed impossible to escape those words. No matter where I went, whispers followed me. Dragon Queen. The girl chosen by Astria. The girl from the legends. The girl who might save Scorish. I hated how heavy it felt."I don't need a title," I muttered.The soldier smiled. "Maybe not. Doesn't mean people won't give you one."Before I could answer, a familiar vo
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride The Dragon Hunters
"Pandora... Roland's army isn't preparing anymore. They're marching."Astria's words stayed with me long after we left the balcony. I barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw those distant shapes moving across the moonlit sky. Dragons. Real dragons. Not one or two, but enough to make Astria worry.That alone was enough to terrify me. By sunrise, the palace was already awake. Messengers moved through the corridors carrying reports while soldiers gathered in the courtyards below. The tension from the previous day had only grown stronger. Everyone knew something was coming. Nobody knew exactly when.I found Astria waiting for me near the dragon grounds. She looked restless..Several dragons were gathered nearby, but none of them seemed comfortable. They shifted their wings, paced the field, and exchanged low growls with one another."They can feel it too, can't they?" I asked.Astria lowered her head. "Dragons sense danger differently than humans."I frowned. "What are
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride The Gathering Storm
I couldn't stop thinking about the scout's words. Even after the council meeting ended and everyone returned to their duties, those three words kept repeating in my head.Roland has dragons. The palace felt different after that announcement. The halls were still crowded, servants still moved from room to room, and soldiers still laughed with one another when they thought nobody important was watching. Yet beneath all of it was a tension I hadn't felt before. It was like the entire kingdom was holding its breath.I stood near one of the castle windows overlooking the training grounds below. Hundreds of soldiers were practicing together despite the late afternoon sun. Their movements were sharper than usual, and every command from their officers carried an urgency that hadn't existed a few weeks ago."You're doing it again."I didn't need to turn around to know who it was."I'm not doing anything."Valdanus came to stand beside me and followed my gaze toward the courtyard."You're stari
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride The Race Beneath the Sky
Elizabeth Ravaryn settled into palace life easily. Within days, it became impossible to walk through the halls without seeing her beside Valdanus somehow. Breakfast meetings. Garden walks. Council dinners. Training observations. She was always there. The nobles loved it. Of course they did.Elizabe
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride Hearts Growing Dangerous
Maria's POVSomething was definitely wrong with Pandora. Not that kind of bad wrong..it was worse...more like happy wrong.I noticed it the morning after the festival when she walked into breakfast looking calmer than I had seen her in months. She still carried sadness sometimes, but now t
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride A Language of Strangers
Maria’s POV Living in Scorish would have been much easier if these people simply spoke normal words.At this point, I was honestly convinced their language existed only to embarrass me personally because every single time I tried speaking to a servant, something went wrong. The worst part was that
The Dragon Queen: Runaway Bride The Weight Of Freedom
“Ugh! Why can't I sleep?” I murmured. Sleep refused to come that night. I sat alone on the palace balcony with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders while the cold air moved softly through the halls behind me. The palace was quieter at this hour, though distant voices still echoed somewhere far bel
