~RAMON~

I stood still and watched as my throne room was in flames. My soldiers and guards ran about like mad dogs, trying to get rid of the flames. However, the flames were no cause of worry to my heart. Not because they could not be removed from sight.

But because I was the one responsible.

I had awoken from my slumber and witnessed a bed devoid of my mate. It had been no cause of concern at first, until the fiery beast within roared a warning to me. A warning not to be ignored. The flames it sent to my heart were a message.

My precious Irene was gone.

And when I set my eyes upon the table, so was the jewel.

I refused to believe my eyes. Like a madman, I searched. The royal bath, the courtroom, the kitchen, and even the dungeons. And when I reached the throne room, the truth settled into my soul. And so the flames of wrath departed from my body.

Perhaps a display of my sorrow and anger would make the stars intervene and explain how my mate, who was returned to me by them, would va

    ~RAMON~"Brother, eventually you would have to eat."I looked up from my plate to Rothrar's concerned gaze across from me. He had gone through half of his meal, with Silvira taking a quarter of hers."I am not hungry." I pushed the plate a few inches away."Even if you want to lie to all of us and yourself, your dragon disagrees. Eventually, it will rebel because of the hunger."The growl of my inner beast confirmed his words. As much as I tried to resist the delightful smell of the food, the inner flames within my body were trying to make me do otherwise. This was one of the situations where controlling my dragon was a difficult task. Hunger."Brother, you cannot continue to live like this." Rothrar shook his head. "Denying yourself food? You are doing more harm than good. Caliborn needs its king at the moment, and it would not be pleasant if they learned about your state. Eat something and have faith that Irun will return."I shifted my gaze from him to Sylvira. She avoided my eye

    ~IRENE~ I was supposed to enjoy the dinner before me. Spaghetti and meatballs was a meal many people dreamed of. It was one of my favorites. The problem was not that it wasn't prepared properly. To be fair, I was no stranger to this restaurant. It was the best in town, and the fact that Connor had treated me to dinner as a means of celebrating my return was a good reason to enjoy it. I appreciated his effort. Considering the past two days since I returned have been hectic, we never got the chance for a late evening hangout.The problem with the food was my taste buds rejected it. Every mouthful I took in was worse than the last. It felt like sandpaper against my tongue."Is there something wrong with the food?"I looked up, meeting the inquisition in Connor's face."No, it's great." I forced a smile, which he didn't buy. "You have barely touched it, and it's been..." He glanced at his watch. "Ten minutes. Do not make me look bad. I spent a lot on this dinner.""Yeah, right

    Tiny drops of water splashing the ground near my ears were enough to bring me back to the land of the conscious. Sitting up, I rubbed the grogginess away from my eyes and blinked once. That once was enough to face reality. A reality that lit my body up with excitement."Holy shit!" I was on my feet in seconds, looking around the familiar insides of the crater."I'm back!" I jumped up and down like a cheerleader. "I'm freaking back!"Feeling the familiar vibration against my palm, I glanced down at the glowing red jewel."Thank you!" I raised the jewel towards my lips. "I could kiss you right now.""On second thought," I pulled it away, narrowing my eyes, "you could end up giving me the kiss of death." We haven't reached that level of chumminess yet."The jewel blinked once."Irene?" My head snapped to the direction of the voice, and a silent gasp escaped my lips. If there was any confirmation that I was back to my world, it was that familiar voice."Connor?""Irene!" His voice became

    I slowly sat up on the bed, taking great care to unwrap Ramon's beefy arms from around my waist. Glancing around, I stared at his sleeping form. His chest rose and fell, and his nose flared at intervals. All of this happening without a single sound of snoring. It baffled me how he did it. Most men, especially large ones, were known to snore. Then again, he was more than a mere man. My gaze focused on his lips, and the corner of mine curled upwards for a split second. Our small argument earlier had ended in nothing more than a make-out, but the memories of it made my stomach dance for a reason unknown. As much as I admired the fact that he had kept his hands to himself, a different side of me wished he didn't. Maybe it was how powerful his kiss was. Having reptilian traits, I expected it to be cold and slippery. But instead it was always warm and somewhat... tantalizing. God, I needed therapy.A small red blink drew my attention to the red jewel, and I shut my eyes. In life, we hav

    Rothrar was correct. The spring was perfect, and the warmth of the water was soothing. The trees surrounding the water provided good shade against heat that may come from the sun later on, and the scent of the flowers nearby calmed my mind. If anyone ever thought of starting a perfume company, those flowers would come in handy. Relaxing deeper into the water, the peace and quiet gave me the time to focus on reality. What was going to be my fate going forward? Ramon had made it clear that he had no plans to let me go. If I had to be candid, besides his weird possessiveness, he seemed like a good person. The way he spoke, his tone seemed different from any other person. And those red eyes of his should spell danger to anyone. It was always strange how I felt something else when I stared into them. A strange sense of safety.The corners of my eyes stung, and I wiped them. Despite everything, I wasn't meant to be kept here like some artifact in the museum. This was not my home. The men
