All Chapters of The Dragon's Bride : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The next morning, while Rydstorm and Catori were having a private breakfast.Catori brought up the issue with Fang and Nita."Did you know that Fang treats Nita like she is nothing?"Rydstorm looked up from his plate."I'm aware that he rejected her, but I didn’t know he mistreated her."Catori recalled the encounter they had.Rydstorm cut her off in the middle of her story."He didn't see you naked, did he?"''No, and that's not the point.""Catori, Fang is of a different breed of a dragon than you and I. His kind is more barbaric. They live in caves or forgotten towns. Their only purpose is to serve families like mine-"It was Catori's turn to cut him off."That still doesn't give him the right to treat Nita the way he does.""Please let me finish."She nodded."Centuries ago, his people were cursed to be savages. To be uncaring, even to their own. The only people they are loyal to are kings and queens, along with the royal's immediate families. Until that curse is broken, Fang will

Seeing that, Fang had become conflicted with Catori's words. Lilith thought of taking matters into her own hands."Well, you little unwanted bitch, I might just have to do this myself.''"And what purpose does this even serve you?" Catori asked. "It's not like you will be the one to rule, you still will be a slave to someone.’’"Better than being devoted to this family, or a whiny child like you.''Catori soon wondered if no one ever comes down this path, thinking that there was just no way so many dragons lived in the Palace for no one to not happened by."You best be careful how you talk to about us,'' Catori warned."And you better be careful about what you say to me. Or you will be the only one to suffer.""Catori, just go. I will be fine,'' Nita said.She hated the back and forth. But she knew that no matter what Lilith was telling Fang, he could never hurt her or gods would step in.But Catori was determined to help the both of them.Lilith checked her nails before saying."Peop

Catori stir in her sleep from loud shouts and a booming sound. She shifted to her side, then the shouts came again.They caused Rydstorm to jump to his feet and rushed out of the room, which in turn woke her up.Not long after, Rydstorm came back from wherever he was, then pulled Catori to her feet."I need to get you somewhere safe." His voice held urgency, as he stop pulling her to lift her into his arms."What's happening?"But he didn't have to answer. The surrounding chaos was enough, they were under attack."Is it Lilith?" She now asked."No, wyverns. They followed a soldier here when he came back from returning with his mate.""What?" Catori’s eyes widen.Rydstorm didn't answer, as his only priority now was to get her to safety."Alice, take her to the safe room." Rydstorm said, putting her on her feet."But-"Rydstorm cut her off with a kiss."Amica mea, please. I want you to be safe. It would kill me if anything was to happen to you."Alice's eyes widen as she saw a gust of w

Not long after, Fang informed Rydstorm that they had evaded the threat.''Catori, can you please stay here?'' "No.'' She shook her head. "I want to come with you. I want to be a part of the meetings.''''I don't want you to get hurt,'' Rydstorm told her.''I won't be. You are there to protect me. So are Fang and everyone else.''With a heavy heart, he nod then lead his bride to the war room where many were gathered in anticipation. They all raised to their feet and bow, then waited for Rydstorm to take his seat before they sat again.Catori stood to his left with her hand behind her back, feeling awkward and looking all over the room.After realising that his mate didn't have a seat, he got up and offered his to her.''Please, have my seat.''Catori smiled at Rydstorm but shook her head, ''I'll be alright, you are their king.''''And you are their queen. Besides, what kind of king or man would I be to have my mate standing?''When she was about to counter again, Rydstorm lift her up

Catori walked beside Rydstorm as he hurried from their room and through the castle."What do you think is going on?" She asked."I don't know, but whatever the reason, I'm sure a Stone is behind it.""Of course. I remember something, even though it seemed so long ago. Akara Stone had said that there were dangerous people that lived in these mountains that were preventing Desolation from growing. He wanted them out because he had said the land belongs to his ancestors and he wanted to turn it into a ski resort."Rydstorm let out a laugh because he wasn't expecting the outcome."Belong to his ancestors, huh? That man truly is something else.""No, it just goes to show how backwards those people are. They think they are high and mighty, while they say things like this to dumb down the population. Like that woman who pretended to be my mother all this time. It is like a disease and now I see why most of them didn't like me, it was because I refused to placed on a certain level. I would al
