Octavia’s POV

The ceiling was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.

The room had gone dark while I slept. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just lay there watching the shadows settle, listening to the quiet. The fire had burned down to nothing.

The warmth that had been Draven’s chest under my ear was gone, replaced by the cool side of a pillow I didn’t remember turning toward.

He had moved me to the bed.

I stared at the ceiling and let my mind drift back. My face warmed almost immediately.

  • Plus-Size Queen For The Red Dragon   Chapter 76: Who Takes Charge?  

    Octavia’s POV I sat on one of the wooden benches near the edge of the island. Grass thinned into pale sand and the sea stretched out under the afternoon sun. The water looked almost gentle today. I sat in the quiet, feeling the tickling of short strands of hair that still felt strange against my neck. I should have focused on enjoying the quiet. But my mind wouldn't forget the fact that Krul had returned. And instead I was waiting for him. The moment the news reached me that he had woken up from a coma, I knew he would come. He could not help it. So predictable. He liked to put up an act like Red Dragon, but he wasn't as smart. A man like Krul could not stay still knowing the woman who put him in that hospital bed was walking free on the same ground. His pride would not allow it. But I wasn’t afraid of him anymore. Those days were long gone. Days when I obeyed every instruction and got terrified whenever someone looked at me twice.I had studied Krul long enough to understa

  • Plus-Size Queen For The Red Dragon   Chapter 75: 60 Days Long Gone 

    Two months had passed since the day Krul hit the sand and stayed there. From that day and that moment upon the sands of that arena, Octavia had become someone else. A new Octavia was born.It could be said that she had been reborn as a respected individual in the Durango Cartel. She no longer trained under Red Dragon’s eye. The mornings that used to belong to his private lessons were now hers alone. She worked the field at first light, sometimes against the wooden posts, more often against living bodies. She would point at six or seven men, and they would come at her together. No one held back anymore. No one dared. Her combinations had sharpened into something clean and final. The hesitation that used to live on her shoulders was gone. Confidence sat on her like a second skin. The island felt it. The aura in the island had shifted. Even the weather in the island became softer. It was like her rise changed the climate.Guards who once smirked when she passed now stepped aside a

    Petals drifted through the sunlight. One landed on Octavia's shoulder. Another settled beside Krul's outstretched hand.A third fell into the blood-darkened sand. Octavia looked down at the body. She waited for something to happen inside her… Relief, perhaps, or maybe satisfaction.But the feelings came tangled together, too complicated to separate. There was anger still burning beneath her ribs.There was exhaustion, heavy in her limbs. There was the strange, distant awareness that she had crossed a line she could never uncross.And beneath all of it was the knowledge of what she had done… She had done the impossible. She had beaten Krul to his death, the personal guard of Red Dragon himself, lying flat on her feet, beaten to a pulp.Not only that, but she had faced him with courage, after all that humiliation, and she had beaten him before an audience large enough to carry the story to every corner of the world.In no time, the world will know of Octavia Beacham. The newest glory of

  • Plus-Size Queen For The Red Dragon   Chapter 73: How To Break A Man

    His fist came swinging in a wide, desperate arc; every ounce of his remaining strength was behind it.Octavia saw his intention before he even made the move. He was strong, large, but very predictable. She saw the opening.Her left foot pushed forward, and her right foot slid to the left, bringing her outside his strike zone. She had measured the length of his arm and calculated her distance. Her math was accurate; his punch missed. And now, he was exposed to a countermove. Octavia didn't hesitate. She drove her weight into a punch aimed at his upper arm.The sound was unmistakable… A sharp, ugly crack cut through the noise… Like bone breaking.Krul screamed.His arm dropped uselessly to his side, his eyes filled with disbelief and agony as he stared at his arm. Her punch was heavy, making a bone to shift. His expression was empty with shock, as though his mind had refused to accept what his body just confirmed.Octavia didn't wait for him to recover.While his fingers twitched. He

    Krul turned slowly. For the first time, he looked at her without smiling.The crowd erupted…Cheers poured down from the stands, loud enough to drown out the first insult Krul hurled at her. A section near the eastern side began stamping their feet against the stone, creating a thunderous rhythm beneath the shouting.Octavia barely heard any of it. She didn't pay attention to that. Her gaze was fixated on her opponent. She watched Krul's face like a predator studying its prey before the attack.Surprise had widened his eyes. Beneath it, something more uncomfortable had begun to emerge. He didn't expect her to move that quickly. He didn't expect her to be a threat.Slowly, something was building inside him, like a realization, that Octavia was stronger than she had made the world believe all these while. But he refused to let that thought sit and settle."Come on, then, fat girl!" he snarled. His fists clenched. Eyes burning with rage. If eyes could turn to a dagger, she would be dead

    The arena was a bowl of sound. Over nine hundred voices rose from the stone stands, colliding beneath the open sky until the noise seemed to shake the very ground beneath Octavia's feet. People crowded every tier, shoulder to shoulder, their faces turned toward the fighting floor. Some waved pieces of cloth above their heads. Others leaned over the railings, shouting predictions, insults, and wagers to anyone willing to listen.The smell reached her before she had fully taken in the crowd: sweat, dust, hot stone. Food being sold along the upper walkways. Torches burned along the arena's upper rim despite the daylight. It made the environment feel ancient. Within the walls, one would imagine a century-old Roman city.Banners hung from the highest balconies, snapping whenever the wind caught them. Sunlight poured into the open arena, and Octavia stood alone in the center of it all. Hundreds of people gathered above, watching her, cheering chats of joy and support. She had stood bef
