Anna and Nyra were chatting about everything and anything. Cynthia insisted on cooking and Betty offered to help.
Betty is a gynecologist, who used to work in this town a couple of years ago. She shifted to another town for personal reasons. Now that Anna is pregnant, she came back to take care of her sister.
Anna is Betty's younger sister. She is 10 years younger than Betty. They lost their parents when Anna was still a teenager. Since then, Betty has taken care of Anna until the moment she found Sean.
After Anna found her Mate, Betty thought of extending her career and moved to another place. But now that Anna is expecting, she doesn't trust anyone else to take care of her sister better than her.
So she came back for Anna.
Betty and Cynthia are catching up with what happened in the period after Betty left the town.
"I can't believe Christopher did that" Betty exclaimed in shock chopping some vegetables for the salad.
It's a small town, and
Nyra is struggling to understand everything Anna just revealed. Everything is too much to take in for her.Anna noticed the struggle on Nyra's face. The conflicting emotions myriad on her face confirm a suspicion that Anna has.'Nyra loves him too. But it's just that, she didn't realize it yet. If someone cares for you the way Drake Hamilton does, then it is a given that you fall for him' Anna thought."One more thing," Anna said startling Nyra.Nyra looked at Anna blankly."I noticed that you both are intimate with each other. Once mated, a dragon can only be intimate with his mate. But he is being intimate with you. That means, either his mate must be dead or she must have rejected him. The same will not apply to us, humans. It's just about loyalty and love for our mate, which will force us not to think about others" Anna said.Nyra caught one thing from what Anna just said."We can reject our mates?" Nyra asked hopefully.Anna didn'
Anna and her sister Betty left after lunch. Anna and Nyra exchanged their numbers. Cynthia too is happy to meet an old acquaintance.Cynthia and Betty decided to be in touch, now that the latter shifted to this town again.After Anna left, Nyra is on edge. She wouldn't be able to rest properly, until unless she talked to Drake about his mate situation.'If she is still in the picture, then Nyra would leave Drake permanently. She cannot be a home wreck for another woman.'But what if she is not? Then what?' Nyra hoped.'You can't be so selfish Nyra. Find out where she is. If it's possible, then help them to be together again' She decided.But then again, Anna's words rang in her head.'A dragon cannot be intimate with another woman if his mate is still in the picture' Nyra remembered.'He kisses me constantly and his hardness was evident a couple of times. If he can be intimate with me, then that means she is not in the picture' Nyra co
Drake could feel Nyra's anxiety through the bond. He doesn't know the reason, but he wants to find out. So he extended his wings and flew towards her grandmother's house.On the other hand, in the Hamilton villa, Caroline is angry on Nyra, for making her write so much. Her palms are still aching."Stupid human, how dare she bully me" she smashed a flower vase and yelled in anger.Sarah looked at her daughter with irritation."Now it's enough. You are destroying my expensive showpieces" she snapped at Caroline.Caroline glared at her mother."It's all because of you. If you didn't force me to go and work there, then I wouldn't have to go and work for a mere human" she said in frustration.Sarah looked at her stupid daughter with anger."If you want to become Mrs. Hamilton and Drake's mate, you should have the patience and cunningness for that" Sarah snapped.Caroline stood in the middle of her brother's room silently.Carlos
Sarah, Caroline, and Carlos don't have the slightest idea of what their drug did. Instead of making Caroline the future Mrs. Hamilton, it made Nyra instead.Only a selected few know the truth.The three of them just realized, Nyra is more than important to Drake. Which made Caroline hate Nyra soo much, that she wanted to twist Nyra's neck and kill her.She started to feel insecure.Sarah on the other hand is pacing the length of Carlos's room, fuming with anger. She never thought a human would capture Drake's attention.Sarah has to admit, that Nyra looks eternal. She has this captivating look going on for her.'No wonder all the men are going gaga over that human' she thought with hatred.No one can stop Sarah when she wants something. She wants the Hamilton mansion and the Hamilton fortune and power it gives her under her fingertips.Roland never let that happen. When he decided to marry her, he made her move to this vill
Nyra couldn't sleep that night. Partly because of what Anna revealed, and partly because, she got so used to sleeping beside Drake. Now sleeping alone feels like a punishment.'You are getting awfully attached to him Nyra. What if his mate returns from where ever she is?' her subconscious reminded her.That is what bothering her the most. If his mate is out there somewhere, and if she finally decides to return to him, then what will she do.Moving away from Drake is the ethical thing to do, for everyone involved. But what would happen to her?She has to learn to live without him. Staying with her grandmother would be the best thing to do.'I need to talk to him, and then I should decide what I would do with my life' Nyra decided.Drake could feel the turmoil and anxiety Nyra is facing.'What is making her so anxious?' he wondered.He is almost nearer to her grandmother's house, but he couldn't feel Nyra inside the h
Drake cursed himself in his head.'What a pickle' he thought.He can understand what Nyra must be thinking now. His silence is not helping anything either.He cannot tell her the complete truth, or he cannot deny having a mate.She is demanding to know where his mate is. He cannot say, it's you.He decided to tell a version of the truth, which is not a lie. He cannot keep lying to her and make their situation even worst."What you are thinking is wrong Nyra. I am not two-timing anyone. You trusted me for a reason, and believe it when I say that, I will never do anything to break that trust. I like you too much to play with your feelings. Won't the world know if I have a mate hiding somewhere? You even met my father, would he approve of our relationship if I have a mate? You stay with me in the mansion, you work with me in the company and you even share a bed with me at night. Wouldn't you know if I am two-timing? Won't hear from someone if I
"Checking on me, ha? How sweet" Nyra said in a teasing tone.Drake nodded his head, his eyes twinkling.Nyra snaked her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes.She pulled him down a little until their faces are inches apart."So you are so caring" she commented, they are breathing in each other.Her gaze flickered from his eyes to his lips."What do you think?" he played along."Hmm, let me think"She pretended to be thinking before answering him."That is really good to me and you should be rewarded" she whispered."Really? Then where is my reward?" he asked playfully.Nyra erased the few inches from between them and pecked his lips."That's your reward" she teased him.Drake looked at her hungrily."But I am hungry for more" he whispered."Then who is stopping you?" She said mischievously, before pulling away from him and ran away."It's like that ha?" he asked after her.
Cynthia felt sad when heard the news.Nyra hugged her grandmother."I promise you, I will come and visit you soon" she promised."Ok" Cynthia nodded sadly."Please don't be a sad grandma. I can't work to my full potential if you send me back sadly" Nyra murmured.Cynthia took a deep breath and smiled."I will never let that happen. Now I don't want anyone pointing their fingers at my granddaughter. You go and kickass" Cynthia said with a laugh.Nyra laughed too.Soon Drake came to fetch her up. They landed directly on the rooftop of the Hamilton group. Drake immediately dressed himself up before going down to look at the issue.When they reach the technical department, Nyra looked around and found all the screens lit up with the technical personals from various branches.Jacob noticed Nyra and Drake first. He immediately rushed to greet them."Mr. Hamilton, Miss Adams" he greeted them."What going on?" Dra
