Twin Dragons, One Choice Chapter 13
Kaelen's POVI never believed in destiny.The day the oracle forced the bond on us, Cassian and I protested fiercely in the council hall, screaming until our throats were raw for a reassignment.A fragile human who couldn't even use magic? How dare she be mated to the Black Dragon twins?"This is an insult to the dragon bloodline!" I roared back then.The plan was simple: survive the one-year trial period, sever the bond, and go find a pureblood dragoness who was actually worthy.But Elara, this seemingly weak yet incredibly resilient girl, shattered every expectation I had.The first time we met, she stood timidly in the manor hall."I'll work hard to be a good mate to you both." Her voice shook, but her eyes held a stubborn light.I thought it was laughable.Until we returned from our first battle.She bravely walked up to us with potions, shedding tears while her trembling hands cleaned the curse-ridden wounds on our bodies.Those curses made wounds rot. The pain was like your soul

On the night of the full moon, a freezing magical rain poured from the sky.Arriving outside the Sacred Altar, Kaelen cast a golden shield of holy light, protecting me from a single drop of rain.Not far away, Cassian stood alone in his pitch-black armor.Rainwater slid down his helmet, splashing violently against the ground.I remembered the night I announced the contract termination.Cassian's eyes were bloodshot. He sounded fierce but looked like he was about to cry as he repeatedly yelled my name."Elara, Elara!" He had tried to grab my wrist, but I dodged him.In the end, Kaelen had to forcibly drag him away and lock him in the dungeon for three whole days before he finally agreed to attend the ceremony.Inside the altar, the severing ritual required cutting one's palm with a magic-infused silver blade, bearing the agony of the soul tearing apart.The High Priest handed the silver dagger to Cassian.This was the Alpha who tore monsters apart with his bare hands. Now, he was trembl

I thought I could wait out the trial period in peace, but Cassian's rut came early.Every month, high-tier dragons suffer a few days of agonizing torment. They absolutely need their mate's scent to soothe them, or they go feral.I stood in front of his tightly shut stone door and took a deep breath.It was my duty, a cold, contractual obligation. I pushed the door open.Cassian healed incredibly fast. His wounds from last night were mostly gone.Hanging onto his last shred of sanity, he gave me a mock smile. "What, not keeping your precious Kaelen company?"That sarcastic tone made me frown."I'm here to fulfill the magic contract," I said flatly. "If you don't need me, I'm leaving."Instantly, Cassian caved."Come here," he growled low.Before I could move, he stumbled toward me himself.Pitch-black dragon horns materialized on his head. A thick dragon tail whipped out and wrapped tightly around my waist.He yanked me into his arms and buried his face in my neck, inhaling my scent hun

After tending to Kaelen's wounds, I went back to the apothecary to wash my hands.It was late. The hallway was lit only by the faint glow of magic lamps.Passing Cassian's room, I noticed his door wasn't fully closed.Through the crack, I saw him slouched against the cold stone wall.There were no lights on inside. Only pale moonlight spilled across the floor.His face and hands were covered in blood and grime; he hadn't cleaned up at all.His luxurious black robe was torn to shreds, revealing skin that was just as battered.This arrogant Alpha, who usually obsessed over his appearance, now looked as pathetic as a stray.He stared blankly at the floor, totally numb to the pain.His silhouette, stark and lonely, was a pitiful sight.A healer's instinct took over. And maybe, a desire to settle the debt between us.I went back to the apothecary and grabbed a high-tier healing potion that had taken me nearly a month to brew.I quietly walked up to his room and gently placed the vial by the

At dinner, something was wrong.Kaelen's amulet—the one he had just put on this morning—had a massive crack in it.The edges of the obsidian bore the corrosive marks of dark magic. Purple-black embers of mana flickered with an ominous glow."How did it break?" I immediately stood up to check. "Are you hurt?"Cassian scoffed from across the table, gloating. "Some noble probably got sick of looking at that trash and broke it on purpose."I completely ignored him, anxiously checking Kaelen for magic backlash."I'm fine, don't worry." Kaelen caught my wrist, his voice filled with guilt. "I took it off during a monster hunt so it wouldn't get dirty. It got scratched by accident.""Can't even protect a mate's token. Useless," Cassian sneered, adding fuel to the fire.Kaelen sounded defeated. "I'm sorry. I should have been more careful.""It's okay," I comforted him gently. "Obsidian is fragile anyway. I picked the wrong material."I held his hand and made a genuine promise. "Tomorrow, I'll c

Kaelen received urgent military orders and had to leave for the border camp immediately.Once he was gone, Cassian suddenly spoke up."Where's mine?" He had his back to me, his voice tight."What?" I paused my herb-sorting."The Winter Solstice amulet." Cassian turned around, a flicker of unease in his slitted eyes. "Where is it?"I thought back to all the holidays we’d shared.On the Spring Equinox, I sewed him a reinforced leather scabbard, only to find it tossed at the bottom of the weapon rack the next morning.On the Summer Solstice, I made him light armor out of precious dragon scales. I later found it gathering dust in the armory.And then there was the winter cloak I spent an entire month hand-stitching. I found its charred remains in the fireplace."There isn't one," I said flatly."What do you mean?" Cassian demanded. "Why does Kaelen get one and I don't?""Because I only made one for him."Cassian froze, then quickly tried to save face. "I don't need mortal trash anyway. But
