ZAMORA'S POV

I heard the click sound, and I knew the door had been shut, and at that moment, it sounded like a jail cell door slamming. The door clicked shut, and that sound felt... final, like a jail cell door slamming.

I didn't dare move, I just stared into space, doing my best to prevent a panic attack. Still, even on the inside, I could feel my wolf was restless and about to go crazy, like an animal that was now trapped and had no way out, just simply walking back and forth. The room felt suffocating, filled with dark memory of Vladimir’s intense stare, and the unnerving chill when Lysandra touched my wrist.

I just couldn't get out the chant of; Blood for blood, out of my head. I decided to head out to the window, and as I looked through and stared at the courtyard. I saw the guards on their group patrols, they walked uniformly, without missing a step, and the sound of their boots marching somehow calmed my raging thoughts.

  • LOVING MY NEMESIS, THE DRAGON KING   Chapter 24

    ~Zemora ~Blood for bloodBefore his first moon.The phrase kept on ringing through my head even after several hours. It slithered through my ears while I tried, and failed, to sleep—slipping, sliding, and coiling through every corner of my brain.Blood for blood? What the hell did that even mean? How was I supposed to get Vladimir’s blood before his first moon? And how was I even sure she had been telling the truth?“Aargh,” I groaned, burying deeper into the mattress.Nothing was making sense anymore. When I had first drawn out my plan, I never imagined it would be this tiring—this life-threatening.I let out a shaky sigh, ignoring the heated weight of Vladimir’s gaze burning into my back as I tried to shut everything out. The nagging awareness of being watched prickled against my skin, raising goosebumps. Every time I closed my eyes, the first thing I saw was the piercing stare of the woman they had captured spying at the east wing. I could still see it—the way secrets swirled in h

  • LOVING MY NEMESIS, THE DRAGON KING   Chapter 22

    ZAMORA'S POVThe air was cold and felt a bit stale, and the passage was narrow. It all felt like no one had come in here in years. My fingers grazed against the stones that felt so rough. I didn't dwell on it and kept on moving forward. The sounds of my own footsteps were silenced by the darkness around me.“That's it, keep walking,” the voice whispered ahead of me. “Do not speak unless I tell you to do so,” it continued.Those words alone sent shivers down my spine. I wanted to ask for answers, to know who this woman was, and why she brought me to this place. But something in her tone told me she wouldn't think twice to disappear if I dare disobeyed. I had to force down my curiosity.The corridor sloped downward, each step taking me deeper and deeper into the heart of the palace. My wolf didn't like what laid ahead and thus began stirring inside of me, it was restless warning me that I was entering where I wasn't meant to be.Finally a dim light appeared ahead, a light, a silvery glo

  • LOVING MY NEMESIS, THE DRAGON KING   Chapter 21

    ZAMORA’S POVFor a second, I couldn’t move. The image from my nightmare, his hand on my throat, the dagger slicing into my stomach, still burned in my mind. And there he was, sitting in the dark like a shadow given form, eyes still glowing faintly in that crimson color. He looked more like a handsome and harmless devil.My voice caught in my throat before I managed to speak.“I-I think so,” I whispered, though the tremor in my words betrayed the lie.His gaze didn’t shift. “You screamed like someone was killing you, or tried to kill you. Did you have a nightmare?” he said flatly, his tone holding no softness. “And with the way you're acting, I ask you, was it me?”The question sliced through me. He truly was the devil. He saw right through everything.“I..” My mouth went dry. “It was just a dream.”“Was it me?” he asked again, but this time, his voice was low, dangerous.I swallowed, gripping the blanket tighter. “Yes.”He leaned forward in the chair, resting his forearms on his knees

  • LOVING MY NEMESIS, THE DRAGON KING   Chapter 20

    ZAMORA'S POV I stood frozen, watching the fight play out. Vladimir moved like he had been doing this his whole life; fast, fierce, and without hesitation. And truthfully, he had.He grabbed each rogue and tore them apart like they were nothing. It was brutal but also strange how thrilling it was to watch.Still, I couldn’t help but feel pure fear. I had never seen anyone so cold, so heartless. And even though I have heard countless tales of how terrifying and beastly he can be, this was the first time I had ever seen it with my own eyes.Then, out of nowhere, a chilling thought entered my mind:What if one day, Vladimir saw me as useless? As someone he didn’t need anymore?It would mean nothing for him to kill me, just like he did to them.I shivered again, my body tense. I couldn’t stop myself from gulping, trying to calm the fear that was slowly building inside me.My eyes flickered incessantly as I watched everything unfold. Minutes later, there was no rogue in sight anymore. Vlad

  • LOVING MY NEMESIS, THE DRAGON KING   Chapter 19

    ZAMORA'S POV The feeling was surreal, and initially, I couldn't hold back my excitement. The help I needed had shown itself at the right time.I exhaled, my lips curled together. “I was kidnapped by someone,” I spluttered, my gaze still darting around. My voice was barely above a whisper as well for fear that I'd be heard by the rogues.“Where are you now?” He asked again, his voice wrapped with the urgency of it.“I have no idea. I'm currently hiding from some rogues hunting ferociously for me.“Alright. Try to keep calm and make sure they don't find you. I'll make sure to find you as quickly as I can,” he assured and I found myself nodding.His voice was warm, soothing too. It managed to calm my throbbing nerves.I parted my lips to speak again but it was too late. The mind link had disconnected. My lips pouted as I sulked a bit.I was left alone, and in silence. I couldn't afford to make noise lest I be found by the rogues who wouldn't stop searching for me.I could still hear the
