LOGINTWO WEEKS LATER...
Zemora's POV
I have been living the life of a Queen rather than a slave brought to be the King's breeder. My decision to form an alliance with the Dragon King was the right thing to do.
He was a man of his words and full of action. Every night he dedicates his time to fill me up with his fiery seeds. I won't be surprised if one day, I start to spit fire. His drive for sex was on another level and when he started it, he always finished the next morning.
I have been taking stigma foods and fruits to keep up with him in bed because I doubt he would let me go until I carry his babies.
“My lady, it is time for your routine meal." Larissa informed me. We were at the bathhouse and I needed to relax more inside the pool because of the pain that throbbed in between my legs.
But I couldn't skip the meal. The dragon king made it necessary that I eat the meal at the right time to keep me stimulated.
“Can I have them here instead? I don't think I can walk down to the dining room," I suggested, waiting to remain in the pool.
“Of course you can," a dark voice responded to me instead of Larissa's strict feminine voice.
A hand strayed up to my neck, reminding me of the dragon King's strong hard ones. The musky scent of cedar and wine swift through my nose, heightening my senses.
“Your Majesty," I breathed out as his other hand traced down my body into the water, sending butterflies up my stomach.
The way he touched me felt so electric and possessive. No emotions were attached but the sense of possession was present. Well, I am his.
“I thought you had an important matter to attend to." A gasp escaped from my throat as he stroked my cunt.
“Yes. Now tell me Princess." He pulled me out of the water and carried me in his arms.
“The village you mentioned earlier, it barely has people in it. Why did you point it out for destruction?" He questioned, dropping me onto a slab.
“The village has a powerful army. Taking them out will aid in your future raid with the werewolves," I explained.
He seemed to have doubts about me. Well, it is expected of an enemy to be wary of a helping foe. I'd be skeptical as well but then it was not necessary at the same time.
I have agreed to help him bring them down, all he has to do is draw out his sword or burn them. Why is that so difficult to understand?
“Your Majesty, I thought we have passed the stage of doubt." I pressed my frail looking hand on his broad caramel chest. “I have given you enough information for you to penetrate my kingdom. But you still doubt my genuineness, why is that so?" I cupped his face kissing him as he stroked my cunt with his long fingers.
Sex was the only mutual thing we agreed on without doubts attached. I would say satisfying our sexual needs is something we cannot avoid since we agreed on making his babies.
But then, I don't want him to have the slightest doubt about me. “I do mean it when I say, I want my people defeated," I said with a serious tone, staring at his eyes with fierce intent.
He squints his eyes, deciding whether or not to believe me. I didn't know convincing a dragon would be this much difficult. I should have come prepared.
“What should I do to make you believe me?" He moved his other hand up to my belly, pressing down on it gently.
“It has been two weeks since our agreement and you are not pregnant. That is enough for me to have doubts in your capability," he muttered with a cold voice.
“Two weeks is not enough for a woman to get pregnant for a dragon. I do not know how your system works or whether our seeds are compatible to make babies. What if it is impossible?" I questioned and his mood changed.
A frown creased on his face, revealing his anger.
“Then why waste my time if it is impossible? I can burn you to ashes right now without thinking twice, so you better be wise with your choice of words," he grumbled coldly.
My hands curled up to a ball from his threat. Fear took over my system but I tried not to show it. Fear was only a sign of weakness.
“I will try my best, your Majesty," I mumbled and he freed me from his grasp, leaving the bathhouse instantly.
After he left, Larissa stepped in with my clothes in her hands.
“My lady, please I will proceed with your dressing." She went on her knees, looking pitiful like a dog.
An image of seeing the dragon king on his knees before me flashed through my eyes. The imagination was glorious and it filled my heart with pride. The kind of power I would have if the dragon king worshipped me, I would be unstoppable.
Fueled by the desire of my imagination, I lifted Larissa's chin and made her look up to my face.
“How do I get pregnant for the dragon king?" I asked.
“It is almost impossible, My lady. Many have tried but none has succeeded. Only the true bride of the dragon king can carry a dragon foetus," she responded negatively.
“So you mean there have been other brides?"
“Yes, all of which were burned to ashes after their conception period exceeded. His Majesty won't hesitate to burn you alive if you fail to meet up to the task." A cold chill went down my spine after hearing her words.
“You said it is almost impossible. That means there is still a chance to get pregnant. Do you know any means I can use to conceive?" I won't let myself get burned alive by a dragon. It would be disgraceful.
“Perhaps, there is. I am not too sure but there is a witch at the North wing of the palace. She might be of help to you." A spark of hope lit up inside me from what she had revealed, giving me the strength to pursue further.
“Take me to that witch, Larissa," I muttered, determined to achieve my goal.
~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
ZAMORA'S POVI 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.From up here, they looked like chess pieces, moved by som
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
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
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
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
