DRACO.

“She glowed for me.” His voice was low, yet I heard him loud and clear. He was looking in my direction as if he didn’t want to look at Iris. “And for the last two decades, I’ve been trying to rack my brain for what I could’ve done more so… so I didn’t lose her.”

I studied his features as his words sank in.

He loved her. He loved Iris’ mother.

Standing in front of me was not the confident and nonchalant prince I met during the Royal Games. His shoulders were slumped, and his expression

    DRACO. “Do you love her?” He asked, snapping me back to the present. “I don’t think you have the right to ask me that after everything I went through with Iris.” My forehead creased as I responded. “I just want to know she’s not trusting the wrong person.”“I know you don’t see me as a good person and I can’t blame you for that. I took Iris under my wing after I found her badly beaten by her then-husband. I brought her and sheltered her. She became mine even before I found out she was a dark fae.”“You speak as if she’s a thing that you can possess.”“If I think you’re not someone important to her, I would never answer your question or respond to your insult.” I retorted.“I’m not insulting you, Draco. All I’m asking is if you love her.”“I killed men who dared to hurt her, and I never once regretted the blood on my hands because of her. I followed her to the Wicker Forest even if I had no fucking idea what I was getting myself into. I stood in front of the Guardians to make sure th

He was looking in my direction as if he didn’t want to look at Iris. “And for the last two decades, I’ve been trying to rack my brain for what I could’ve done more so… so I didn’t lose her.”I studied his features as his words sank in. He loved her. He loved Iris’ mother. Standing in front of me was not the confident and nonchalant prince I met during the Royal Games. His shoulders were slumped, and his expression looked tired, but something in his eyes told me there was still hope left somewhere. Iris’ hiccupping brought me back to the present, and my eyes darted to her. Her shoulders shook as she kept her tears at bay, her eyes fixed on the man who had his back to her. She shifted her gaze to me, eyes showing hesitation, but when I gave her a nod, she didn’t waste any more time. She bridged the gap between her and Prince Vaidas before her arms wrapped around his body, her head pressed against his bac

    IRIS. Draco stood up from his seat, taking me with him. “Can you transport yourself back to the house? I’ll tell Liam to drive back there…”I shook my head even before he could finish. “I want to stay…”“Iris… No. I don’t want him to see you or have an image of you. Not until we can figure out how we will handle your identity.”“But he has already heard of me… So I guess it is bound to come out soon.”“I will find out how he found out, but for now, let me handle this.”“How about I stay out of sight and stay in the toilet?” I pointed at the door at the other end of the office. “And once I realize I’m not interested in your conversation, I will transport myself to the packhouse. But you can already ask Liam to drive home.”“Iris…”“Please…” I clasped my hands together and smiled at him before my eyes squinted. “Don’t tell me you are jealous that I might end up crushing on Prince Vaidas.”He chuckled and placed his hands on his hips. “He’s old…”“And you? Aren’t you older than me, too?”

    IRIS. Draco let out a deep sigh before his eyes looked somewhere else but me. “And the kids, Iris. Maybe I can’t give you kids…”I could say we were fated mates—which meant I was the only one who could give him a child —but, like him, I was not sure anymore. When the King personally interrogated Felicity when he found out she was not pregnant, another betrayal was revealed—not just to Esmond but to Draco as well.Felicity confessed under the King’s command that she was trying to get pregnant with the help of Alessio, Draco’s cousin. She said that at the beginning she had no plan to cheat on Esmond. It was Alessio who contacted her and told her that only Draco’s fated mate could give Draco an heir. Alessio told her she must get pregnant. After that, he would find a way so Felicity and Draco could spend the night together, and Draco would assume the pup she was carrying was his. Felicity didn’t agree, and she thought Alessio was crazy to think that she would rather Draco acknowledge

    IRIS.It had been three days since we came back from the north and so far, everything had been quiet. My brief conversation with the Guardians had kept my heart at peace, at least in the part that doesn’t concern Eox, because the Dark Fae king was still a threat to me. After the Guardians left, King Essak, as well as Adelaine, assured me that the Guardians were no longer my enemy since they gave their word like that. Like how Lesandra explained, as long as I didn’t make any move or plan to hurt any of the Kings of the four kingdoms that they were protecting, they would not consider me an enemy or a threat. I also had no intention of retracting my words. I honestly had no plan of making my life more complicated by waging war on anyone just because I had the power to. I would rather have Adessa and her parents on my side. Besides, I just wanted a simple life with Draco. And to find my mother—to see if she was just frozen in time and could still be revived. “When do you think we can

    DRACO. A loud growl erupted from my throat as I placed Iris behind me while the three Guardians descended from the heavens. They were not holding weapons in their hands like they did the first and last time I saw them, but it didn’t diminish the fact that they were a big threat to Iris. Together with Adelaine, they were the ones who massacred the whole Imperial Lineage and those serving them. So I assumed they were here because of my mate—they wanted her dead.“If they attempt to hurt or take you away, you will remove yourself from here.”“Draco…”“I don’t care where you take yourself, but make sure it’s somewhere they can’t fucking reach you.”“I’m taking you with me, then…” she replied in a whisper as her hold on my shirt moved to my arm. Before I could add more to the many reminders I wanted to tell her, Adelaine came and settled between Kael and me, and my anger turned to her. “You told them!” I hissed, but I tried to keep my voice low. “I didn’t. I have no way to communicate

    DRACO. I held Iris’ hand as we walked down the stairs to the basement of Meridian’s house. I was preparing myself for the worst, but after a few minutes of staying there and with her busy scanning a book while talking with Iris, my chest began to calm down. But I still kept my guard up. I listen

    IRIS.“Meridian found me and took me into her house. I didn’t fuck her. And I have no plans of fucking her. Now, can you take us to her? Maybe she can help us.” He explained.I shook my hands and head, shaking away the jealousy eating my body, before I looked at him again. Draco already had his hand

    IRIS.“You have wings…” He said almost immediately.“What?” I exclaimed. I swiftly turned around, only not to see them but I thought I saw a glimpse of something on my back. “It’s not huge. Fairy wings. Very cute.” He said before a smile tugged at his mouth again. “Very Iris…”I was just staring a

    DRACO.I tried to read Princess Diallica’s lips, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. And before I knew it, her mouth had already crashed into mine. My forehead creased. Something in me told me that I shouldn’t be out here kissing women. I knew I didn’t want to be kissed, but her lips ta
