INICIAR SESIÓN"Run Elaina, Run” Aurora, Elaina's mother screamed at her as she fought off an intimidating darkness. “No, mother, I do not want to leave you behind” Elaina screamed back with tears trickling down her eyes like a waterfall. She had lost her mother before and didn't want to lose her again.“Don’t you worry about me, pumpkin. I'll be waiting for you to come back and rescue me but for now, you are not yet ready. Run away from here and face your destiny” she said with a little smile.Elaina could not understand what her mother was talking about but she reluctantly began to run away. She had ran a little distance when she turned to look at her mother. The darkness has raised her up by her neck and she was struggling to breathe. Elaina was frozen in place, contemplating whether to return or heed her mother's words. It frustrated her that she did not know what to do to rescue her from the darkness, it was too powerful. But at that moment, a tear ran down Aurora's cheeks and her voice some
Elaina casually walked past Lord Xavier's chamber as if looking for something important for the umpteenth time. She subtly glanced at the door and when she saw the two guards were still guarding it, she almost hissed out in frustration. She had been hoping this was going to be a quick in and out but had neglected the fact that his chambers were heavily guarded like he had some bizarre secret he was hiding. She had planned to go in immediately after Xavier left that morning but the guards had prevented her till evening came. She tried to remain calm and observe the situation, she was sure that there was going to be a time the guards would leave their post and even if it was for a minute, it would be enough time to slip in stealthily. Elaina waited for a little while in her room before deciding to try again. She walked past his chambers and luckily for her, the two guards had left their post. ‘Finally’ she beamed in happiness and observed her surroundings for any spies before walking
The familiar sound of footsteps and scent made Drake smile even before Elaina got to his cell. He quickly got up to welcome her as if she was visiting for the first time.“Morning Drake” Elaina greeted with a wide smile the moment she stepped into the cell.“Morning Elaina” Drake responded as he came forward and pulled her in for a hug. It was just yesterday they met last but it felt like eternity. Elaina chuckled and hugged him back, she missed him too. That was why she showed up so early in the morning, she had been doing that for the past three days since she began residing at Xavier's manor.Her visits were now longer and frequent, she would show up at the dungeon very early and leave very late. Drake didn't complain, in fact he loved having her around. He felt at peace with the bothersome estrus gone, it was as though an incomplete part of him was beginning to fill up. “I brought some food for you” She said as she handed him a small basket. “What? Xavier let you bring this for
Xavier quickly dusted himself up and followed the king to the courtroom, he used his magic to clean himself and heal the minor scratches. He didn't like being beaten like a peasant but he was left with no other choice.“We had just parted ways earlier this morning, why in god's name are you here and even decided to shamelessly attack my guards? Have you finally gone insane?” Alfred asked irritatedly as he took his seat.Xavier bowed very low and said, “It was not my intention to cause a ruckus in front of the palace but I couldn't hold myself back when I heard your guards lie about your whereabouts. They are spreading misinformation in doing so and I…”Alfred cut him off, annoyed, “Point of correction, I gave them the instruction because I needed some time alone to think. Am I not allowed to do that?” Xavier's bow deepened “Of course you are, my king. Please forgive me for my insolence, it's just that we seem to have grown apart recently. We used to talk about the kingdom's affairs a
“What? I do not understand what you mean?” Elaina asked, her heart beating fast in worry. Did Xavier know that she got intimate with Drake last night? If he did then it would mean trouble for them.“I mean how the beast healed you. I'm curious because I saw how beaten up you were, no one would have been able to save you” Xavier answered casually when he observed her subtly.Elaina was relieved to hear he was only curious about her healing, “Well, you could say it was a miracle, I was unconscious for most of it so I am not privy with the details and Drake didn't tell me either. I have mostly been asleep too, we haven't had time to talk” she explained, avoiding his eyes by focusing on her food. Xavier nodded slowly, “Hmmm, is that so? You were in a terrible state so it's understandable that you would be extremely exhausted to sleep all through the night. I was hoping Drake told you his healing secrets, but nothing else happened you said?” he asked againElaina nodded, “Yes, nothing hap
The seriousness in Drake's voice made King Alfred unconsciously gulp in fear but he remained composed. A king fears no one. “What are you still waiting for?” he barked at the guards. One of them stepped forward to grab Elaina but he was too slow for Drake. He raised his leg and hit him straight on the stomach and the force sent him flying to the ground.After yesterday's memorable time with Elaina, Drake was no longer burdened by his estrus symptoms. It had significantly reduced to just a dull feeling of wanting Elaina by his side, thus increasing his physical strength greatly. He was still chained with magic that sapped out any of his dragon powers, but in terms of physical strength, he was formidable.The King's eyes widened at the force of that leg push, it was capable of sending the guard flying centimeters away. Were his men really that hopeless when facing a dragon?The second guard braced up and went in to attack Drake, luckily he was able to dodge Drake's leg attack but befo
