Se connecterMariah and the maidens appeared in a rundown quarter. There was no light there, and she could visibly see that the place was damaged. There were holes in the walls and cracks on the doors. The windows did not have a protective net or anything to keep insects from entering the house. A squeaking sound made her look down to see a rat running by her. She frowned, wondering if Alaric would really ask for her to be brought there? Like, what does he see her as, a beggar? Or a slave? What exactly could be his reason for having her brought there? When he spoke of a Golden Pavilion, this was definitely not what she had in mind.“Well, that is your quarters, demon princess, rest well,” one of the maids said, and the rest laughed.Hold on, Mariah thought, could it be that being brought here was these maids' shenanigans? Could it really be that this is not where Alaric had in mind for me to stay? She thought of the dragons’ attitude when they were back in her palace, this was not a way of the mai
Alaric’s face revealed shock on seeing the man standing beside Mariah. He had been fighting the urge to take her in his arms, but he knew he could only settle to admiring her from afar, at least, until he introduces her as his mate to his people. “Asher,” he called, definitely was not expecting to see the man.“Hello, Alaric,” Asher said.“You insolent fool,” Maximus yelled and rushed him, but Alaric’s voice rang clear and strong.“Maximus,” Alaric called, and everyone stilled, “do not attack my guest.”“I am sorry, my King,” Maximus bowed.“Don’t expect me to call you anything but your name,” Asher said.Alaric chuckled, “I understand, Wolf King,” he said and everyone turned to Asher with frown written clearly on their faces. “We are friends, so titles mean nothing to us.”Although Asher could see why the man called him Wolf king, he didn’t understand why he would call him friend instead of family, but like Mariah, he decided to be patient and wait till he was alone with the man.Ala
Maximus frowned at Asher’s words. “In case you did not hear me, I am here to retrieve Mariah, and only her. Any other person who wishes to follow would meet their end by my claw.”“And I am telling you that if you don’t bring me along, I am not letting my sister go anywhere with you. You can go back and tell your king what I said,” Asher stood his ground.“How insolent?” Maximus was enraged, his purple eyes glowing as his hands shifted into dragon claws, “How dare a mere land demon give me orders? Do you wish to die?”“Lord Maximus,” another purple dragon had shifted into a man during the time Maximus was part shifting, and so called out to him. “Remember, the king told us that on no account must we resort to violence. Please, my Lord, if he wishes to go, we can just take him with us; if the king does not wish to see him, then we can kill him.”Asher was impressed. The men were talking about killing him like he was nothing. They may be dragons, but he doubts he could not hold his grou
“It’s been a month, do you think he is okay?” Mariah asked Asher, who was busy typing away on his computer. After the Blood Moon night, and with the eradication of the wolf hunters, peace finally returned to the wolves, and Asher and Naomi went back to the human realm. Although with the wolf hunters dead, Asher had no reason to return to the human realm, but having spent most of his life there, he felt more comfortable staying there. Besides, he loves running his company.“He would be fine, Mariah. You ask me the same question every single day,” he replied, his eyes not leaving his computer for one second.“Of course you would say that, after all, as soon as you leave here, you would be returning to Naomi, hold her, hug her, and kiss her. Why would you care about your little sister worrying about her mate?” she rolled her eyes.Asher chuckled and saved his file. He turned to Mariah, “Do you know who you are mated to, darling sister? The dragon king, KING, and a very strong one at that
“Ramiel,” A man shouted as he opened the door, his long white hair flowing around him, and his white eyes made him look lifeless.Ramiel, who was writing on his desk, looked up, a little surprised to see the man barging into his home. “Could there be a reasonable explanation for you shouting my name and entering my home like you owned it?”Haziah paid no mind to the condescending tone Ramiel spoke to him and just said, “It’s been thawed.”“What has been thawed?”“My ice on the Dragon land has been thawed. I just felt the connection to it leaving me.”Ramiel frowned, understanding the dire situation. “How could that be? The only people that can thaw your ice are you, the almighty, and a dragon king’s fire.”“Exactly.” Haziah said, “Do you know what that means? Because I did not lift the ice, and neither did the Almighty, and that leaves us with?”Ramiel stood up instantly, his action causing his desk to topple over, spilling his ink and soaking the paper he was writing on. “He is awake
The golden dragon stopped midair above the frozen vast land. It stared at what used to be a kingdom, now nothing but sculptures of people and dragons and frozen houses. It closed its eyes, its wings spread wide and flapping to keep it in the air. Some seconds later, golden light formed on its throat, and it opened its eyes. The light traveled up to its mouth, and it opened it just as the golden scorching fire started pouring out. As the fire left its gigantic mouth, it started flying around, making sure that the fire touched every house, kingdom, and every clan. After it was done distributing the fire, the big beast stopped once more in the air, its gigantic wings flapping to keep it in the air. The golden beast suddenly turned into a young man, his hair was long and white as snow. He was covered in golden scales up to his neck, and his eyes were glowing a fiery golden light.Alaric closed his eyes and, bringing his hands to his mouth, he blew a ball of light into his palms. The more
Mariah watched Alaric in awe, never had she anticipated such apology from him and definitely not so soon or any time in fact. She was speechless, not knowing the best way to disclose her happiness.“And see how wrong I am,” Alaric continued, still on his knees and his head bowed. “I never really th
“What? Why? Why do you have to kill him?” Mariah was shocked.“He took your maidenhead!” Alaric said, trying to control himself.“I wanted it. I gave it to him.”“Why would you do that?”“Hello? I’m 117 years, I’m clearly more than old enough to decide what I want to do with my body. Besides, why a
“Goddess!” Mariah shouted and withdrew from him.“Do not stop, please,” Alaric said, pointing at her bleeding hand. “I need more.”Mariah got down from her shock and stared at her hand and then back at him. Then she gave off a mocking chuckle. “Already awake and you want to kill me instantly.”“Wha
Mariah was torn between telling her family the truth and getting them so worried that they won’t let her go anywhere alone again and lying to them to retain her freedom. She heaved a sigh and sat down on the empty chair beside Sean. “The truth is, I did get into a fight last night. I um…I accidenta
