Ch. 28 : Claim of a Dragon
*Amara*
I was still struggling with the glaring truth when I heard a knock at my door.
Ivy walked over to answer it as I continued to pretend to read the book in my hands, my mind still fighting against my heart while my body remained restless. I had struggled to sleep after the chaotic realizations hit me, the emotions taking over and leaving me in a confused pile of tears and shallow breaths on my bed.
“My Lady…”
I turned as Ivy cautiously walked over to me, a worried look on her face as I managed to focus on her.
“Who is it Ivy?” I asked her, closing the book and glancing at the partially opened door.
But she didn’t get a chance to answer as the door was pushed aside and

A few days passed by after that tense and incredibly embarrassing day and I was once again dressing up for a challenge.Ivy had woken me up early and started getting everything ready for me, rushing around the room as she talked to herself. I bathed in a flower and oil infused tub. Had my arms and legs massaged while I lay in bed with a mask of leaves and oils on my face. My hair was treated and washed twice then combed and styled while I sat in my robe. A full hour was spent going back and forth between dresses and then another thirty minutes choosing accessories.By the time I was all dressed and stepping into my sitting room, I found Queen Avelia already waiting for me.She was sitting on the corner of the room on one of the seats to my dinette with a steaming cup of tea in front of her and breakfast already set
Wings, Beasts and Claws Ch. 30 : Unwelcome Knowledge
The next day I spent most of my morning in the garden with Ivy. Enjoying a nice calm walk through the flowers before returning to my room for some tea and sweets. But when I got to my sitting room I found my brother standing behind one of my loveseats and our father facing him on the opposite loveseat.Ivy quickly rushed around the room as she prepared our tea and called out for sweets while I took a seat across from my father. Arden quickly walked around the loveseat I sat on and took a seat beside me, never once moving his gaze away from our father.“Thank you for the sudden visit Father.” I said calmly, feeling the pure anger emanating from my brother beside me. “To what do we owe this… surprise?”“I just wanted to see how my children were doing.” He said, smiling softly
Wings, Beasts and Claws Ch. 31 : Wounded Hope
Later that night I struggled to sleep and decided to take a walk in the garden. I had only a shawl over my shoulders to protect me from the wind and the scent of the flowers helped calm me as I wove in and out of the different paths. I was so lost in thought that I didn’t notice someone in front of me until I completely crashed into them.“Oh! I’m sorry I was--” My words trailed off into nothingness as I looked up into a pair of ruby red eyes.“Couldn’t sleep?” Dorian asked, smiling down at me as I took another step back.“Uh, yes, I’ve been feeling rather restless and thought a nice walk beneath the night sky would help me.” I was suddenly nervous to be around him after I had decided to just let things be as they may and not fight it. “What about you
Wings, Beasts and Claws Ch. 32 : Willing and Wanting
We continued walking through the garden for a while longer before making our way back to the Queeness Palace. I was silently thinking back to every random thing I had blabbled at him as we neared my room, making my already pink face grow another shade darker. He held the door open for me as I walked into my sitting room, clearing my throat to wish him good night. Somehow, as I turned to face him, my shawl had fallen off my left shoulder and managed to wrap around my legs, trapping them beneath my nightgown.I braced myself as I stumbled back, expecting to feel my body hit the cold hard floor or maybe even the coffee table that stood close by. But I was jerked to a stop and a sudden warmth enveloped me, pressing my body against another. My eyes fluttered open and gasped when I found myself a mere inch away from Dorian's face. His crimson eyes bore into mine as I took note of how close we were.

After another long and intimate moment with Dorian, we both got up and dressed before Ivy walked in to help me change. She looked flustered to find His Highness in my bedroom but stayed quiet as he walked out, nearly knocking me over once he was gone. Her typical excited babbling made me smile as I bathed and changed for the day, my mind too preoccupied with what had happened to really say much of anything. She served me breakfast and, without being asked too, placed a cup of Midnight Silphia tea in front of me, flashing me a teasing smile before walking away.“My Lady!”A Palace maid burst into my sitting room as I barely cut into my breakfast, her face flushed and slightly worried.“Please! My Lady, you must stop them!”I got up from my seat and
Wings, Beasts and Claws Ch. 34 : Shattered Peace
Arden came to visit me the next day and happily told me what had happened between him and Morina. I was filled with joy to see my brother so happy as he talked about her and took the opportunity to tease him for it too.Apparently, they admitted that they felt drawn to each other and, when my brother explained what I had learned in the dream, they decided to plan moments that they could spend together. They wanted to get to know each other more and see if the pull they felt for one another would grow. Much more was talked about, I’m sure, but my brother refused to say anything more, warning me that, as his sister, I was not privy to certain things in his romantic life. That stopped me from asking and I shuddered at the thought of hearing anything physically happening between them.After this we spent the day together and even decided to go spar a few time
Wings, Beasts and Claws Ch. 35 : Bloodthirsty Dragon
*Prince Dorian*It has been ten days since Amara had been kidnapped and I was going insane with worry. Nothing and no one could calm me and the only person I was truly speaking to was Arden who was just as enraged as I was. He had rushed to me the day she was taken, his hands holding on tightly to the darts dipped in a sleeping elixir as he showed me where and what had happened.We then searched every inch of the surrounding woods with as many Knights as possible, looking for anything that would give us a clue as to where she was taken. But every time we’d search, we’d come out with nothing.The world and the people around me felt like they were mocking me as they went about their day while I drowned in panic. The other Queeness’ soon became consumed with the new challenge that had been announced a
Wings, Beasts and Claws Ch. 36 : Traitorous Blood
*Amara*The feeling of falling was the first thing that my mind registered as I slowly regained consciousness. I could feel my hair blowing past me and my dress being pushed against my legs because of the wind. Slowly, I would feel myself gaining more control of my body and would try to blink my eyes or move my fingers. But when I first started to fully awaken, something struck me in the arm and the darkness pulled me back in.This happened two more times as I went from falling, lying down, being carried and then nothing.When I was finally able to open my eyes and move my body, I felt the most earth shattering headache overtake me. My eyes needing to remain shut against a brightness that was near me. I balled myself up on my side as I waited for the pain to pass, panting and groaning through it until it slowly less
