My Beloved Black Dragon

"Please do not be mad at me, Sadie. I did not enter the wrong room on purpose. We have already slept together. Please marry into the Dragon Clan on my behalf instead.

"You'll be happy for us, right?"

I shook my head to clear the dizziness. When my sight cleared, I saw Lucia Quentin crouching in front of me while wiping her tears demurely.

My father tried to talk me into it as well.

"You should exchange companions, Sadie. Lucia is still young. Don't hold this against her."

I was the daughter of my father and his legitimate wife. Lucia was an illegitimate daughter he had with an old lover, but she had a nice face, and she knew how to get into another's good graces with her soft, demure manner. He had always loved her more.

From where I was, I could see the delight in Lucia's eyes.

I sneered in my heart. She had also been reborn. Lucia drugged me before my wedding and entered Silas Hector's room.

Silas was the current King of Silver Wolves, and my husband in my past life.

Back then, the King of Black Wolves in the south was married. I did not like the arrogant Silver Dragons and did not trust the malicious and dangerous Black Dragons. Wolves were renowned for their loyalty and discipline, and their clan became the best choice for me to find a husband in a marriage alliance.

One year after my wedding, I gave birth to a child of mixed heritage.

He was exceptionally talented and named the future ruler of all three clans by the Alliance Congress the moment he was born. Silas became the master of all three clans because of this, and the Wolves ruled the world for the next hundred of years.

Lucia had been seduced by the charm of the Silver Dragons, and she married the King of the Silver Dragons, Ebrin Lance.

She did not expect Ebrin to be an alcoholic who could not control the power of his bloodline. He wounded her womb when he flew into a violent madness, and Lucia suffered a miscarriage. The injury was so bad that she could no longer get pregnant, and the Silver Dragons abandoned her in the end.

However, Lucia harbored no resentment toward Ebrin, but to me, the legitimate daughter of our family, as I was given the priority to pick the husband of my choice. She killed me and my child in a mad rage during a family gathering by stabbing us.

Back in the present, I could hardly breathe from the hate I felt for her. I almost lost control and wanted to lunge at her to tear her face.

Instead, I took a deep breath and smiled.

"I would never break a happy couple apart." Lucia was so taken aback by my answer that she almost forgot to wipe away her tears.

My father took the opportunity to push things forward. "Sadie has relented, Lucia."

She stood up with a smile. "Thank you."

Lucia ran off to see Silas after that.

"That girl is still such a child." My father looked relieved, but he paused when he saw my emotionless expression. He lowered his voice and tried to give me advice.

"Sadie, you're only left with choosing Silver Dragon Ebrin Lance and Black Dragon Liam Thorn. The Silver Dragon has an abundance of fortune and is good-looking. He is a much better candidate than the Black Dragon. Lucia used to say…"

"Liam Thorn is my choice."

I interrupted my father.

He was taken aback. I said calmly, "I'm willing to marry Black Dragon Liam Thorn."

The Human Clan had always viewed Black Dragons as villainous, cold-blooded beings. No woman with Blessings from the Human Clan has chosen a Black Dragon as their companion for the past thousands of years since the alliance of the three clans and given birth to a perfect descendant who inherited all its powers.

That was why the Black Dragons had almost gone extinct from the attacks of the Silver Dragons.

I distinctly remembered him telling me that Silas was not the companion for me after I chose him, but I did not listen to him.

He was the first one to notice something was wrong with me after Silas tormented me and was also the one who provided me with medication for my wounds.

When Lucia stabbed me with a knife, his amber eyes were the last thing I thought of.
