20. Murder in my mind

"The venom clamours of a jealous woman poison more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth." -William Shakespeare----(Vera)I woke up to the hushed whispers and shuffling footsteps. My head pounded as I rubbed my eyes with a wince.It was a terrible, terrible night and I had no one to blame but myself.After Mateo walked out and flew away, leaving my stomach in tangled knots, I almost got caught, but I was quicker than and got away, of course, after stealing the eye of Sabius, once again.I almost went to the palace, too, but then I talked myself out if it. I knew there was no use keep picking up the wound.He was right, but every inch in my body begged even when my brain warned me against it.I hated it. I hated every second of that torture.I ran all the way to my home, because I knew if I allowed Nova to come, she wouldn’t hesitate to go and find the prince and tell him about things he didn’t need to know.She was a freaking traitor, and that was what she was, oh, and also terribly angry w

21. Distraction

"She may be broken for a while, but that’s ok. She’s working on her, cause she’s not one to leave a mess lying around." – JM Storm ----- (Vera) "I don’t. Do I know you?” he said. His voice felt blank, emotionless. I jerked back as if he had just punched me. His eyes flicked to meet mine for a second before he shook his head and turned to fucking Faith. If I could rip her heart off... “You don’t know me?” I blinked at him, irritated and angry. And hurt. I knew he was angry, but... here I was, practically begging and- "Begging? I haven’t even heard a please!” my dragon said with a huff. “You know what I am talking about,” I huffed. Suddenly, Nova was team Mateo, through and through. Such a traitor, my dragon was. I didn’t like it, not one bit. I didn’t like the feeling of anger and jealousy in me, or the overwhelming feeling to prove to him and myself that I had power over him, just as he had over me. I didn’t like the indifference in his eyes, nor did I like the look of warmth w

22. Fight or flight

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu ---- (Vera) I looked at Mateo and shook my head as my heart twisted weirdly. I felt a momentary flash of panic. No. I didn’t want him anywhere near danger. Just thinking about it was creating a big fucking ball of fear in my stomach, and this was one of the few reasons I didn’t want him in the first place. “Go, Mateo, go with your guards. I will be alright. Okay. You should go... you must-” He pressed a finger against my lips, cutting me off. The guards looked at us weirdly before one of them cleared his throat. “Prince, you really should come. Nobody knows what is going on here... you are not safe here,” the guard spoke in an urgent voice. “The queen asked me to fetch you and I shall-” Mateo waved his hand, cutting the man off. “And I am just the same as everybody else. I can’t run away like a coward, Jace. Please, make sure mother and Amyra is safe,” he whispered worriedly, and the guard looked conflict

23. Choices

“What you seek is seeking you.” ― Rumi.----(Vera)“If you ever scare me like that... I will kill you!” Mateo said with a huff, and I saw a hint of his dragon, too, before he shook his head, and I laughed, forgetting for a moment about the situation we were in.It was strange to laugh when we were both covered in sticky grayish red blood that smelled like ass, but right now, I didn’t care for any of that. I just felt happy and free, and I finally felt like I could have something with him, despite everything.“Yeah, I won’t. If I do, I give you permission to kill me!” I teased, but I felt my heart becoming big at his confession. He looked so open, so vulnerable, and it gave me a strange sense of power and accomplishment. Maybe he was what I had needed all along. Someone just for me."I told you he is special,” Nova pranced like a freaking diva.“I know... You are right.” I said with an appeasing smile and Nova shook her head, a smug look in her eyes."What is that? Yes, I am always ri

24. Promises

(Vera)“Despite all this fucking mess, I am happy. Because you are here right now.” His voice was breathy as he looked at me with bright emerald eyes that stole my breath away. The look in his eyes... created a pit in my stomach. I nervously looked up at him and I realized it was love. It wasn’t the dark passion, or the sweltering lust. I could easily take it and give it back. As much as he gave. Even more. But this was love. This was something... that scared me.Did I love him? Could I love him like how he loved me? Pure. Unadulterated. A love I didn’t deserve. He deserved so much more than what I could offer him."You are everything he deserves and more!” Nova said with a deep growl. Of course, she would say that, because no matter what, she was always loyal to me. I shook my head.He was too good to be saddled with my brokenness. I was full of darkness he hadn’t seen in life."How do you know? You know nothing about him, just as he doesn’t know anything about him. That is why you n

25. Crowns and Allies

No one who wears a crown is ever safe.” ~ George R. R. Martin(Mateo)My mind was whirring as I walked out of my room with Vera.I had been thinking about the crown for a while, but I thought maybe I could get the name from Vera. But whoever it was, he had been playing a very careful game.The Royal council was made of the five important clans of Draconiá from powerful blood lineage, and I always had a feeling that most of them would so gladly stab us to our deaths and then conquer the throne. Dragons had always been a self-serving creatures, and their addiction to things they couldn’t have..."Like our mate...” Shade said with an amused chuckle. I shook my head.“With the power and magic of the crown always in side with us, they can’t come anywhere near us or our throne, and it must be frustrating for them.”“It must be. Hence this show of power. They are trying to create a friction. Just a noise is enough...” Shade sounded worried, and that was proof enough that this was more seriou

26. The Queens Call

(Vera)The night sky was beautiful. The stars glittered and below the canopy of the sky, the palace grounds looked deserted. The massive Leurier tree was still smoking, its old glory destroyed to leave a charcoal of what it was once. Its proud leaves crumbled to ashes.Dragons lived by the fire, freed by the fire, and most of the times, died by the fire. It was our life, surrounded by something that could give us life and take our lives. It was our destiny. There was liberation in the fire."I wish I am with him,” Nova said as she flapped her massive wings, gliding along the darkness.Everything in me begged to stay there with Mateo, too, and the need was like a physical pain, but I needed to see Owen and had to be with my friends, too. Today, I needed to be there. Prince Mateo had so many guards and his own family to look after him. I needed to take care of my family.Faye’s dragon flew next to me, her dark orang

27. One of a kind

(Vera) “Fuck.” My dragon hissed. I knew what she meant. "Yes, a million fucks, Nova. You know what this means...” I took in a deep breath. I had always known, from the very first moment that I found out my mate was a prince, that I had to fight a war, with myself and others, to be his mate. And that was why rejecting him was the easier solution.And then the stubborn fucking prince had gone and broken my walls... and now...He was mine. He promised to be mine. Anger roared inside me, but I didn’t let it come. Anger would only strengthen whatever the Queen thought of me, and for now, I knew none of it was good.It wasn’t the Sun God’s mate bond I trusted now. It was Mateo’s words.I read the paper, flinching as I did. No mother would be happy after reading this, especially not a freaking Queen.It talked about how the P

28. Alliances and Attacks

(Vera)“Come to my room!” It was an order, and I wanted to obey it. Obey him.“Well...” I trailed off teasingly and his eyes flashed as he gripped my neck in his big hand and looked at me with eyes swirling with passion. For someone who had barely had any experience, he was so good at making me burn for him. And I burned. Like a forest fire on a warm, windy day.Nova licked her lips lustily as she stared at him.“If you don’t want to come-” he whispered as his finger flicked against my tightened ni.pples. A soft, lustful moan left my lips. “We can do it right here.”“In the Queen’s room?” I asked scandalized. I was rarely ever scandalized...“It is not the Queen’s room. Also, if it is the Queen’s room, it will one day become yours. We can anoint that desk right there...” he said as he leaned closer and rubbed his canines along my jaw. I looked into his dark green eyes. They were like a tumultuous oceal, with swirling wave of passion and I would gladly step inside the storm. For him. A

29. The royal council

(Mateo)Blaine and I walked towards the west wing, where the court existed. It is where the Rroyal council members would meet to discuss various situations. Like alliances, pacts, economic status, marriages, laws. I had always loved being a part of the council meetings. It made me learn what was going on outside the walls of the palace, and I always thought I knew enough.But sadly, I knew nothing. When Vera told my mom about how it was so hard to survive outside the castle, it was like a punch. I wanted more for Draconià, and I would do it. Before that, I had another mess to take care of. My stubborn brother, who was ready to throw it all out for someone who wasn’t even his mate.“I don’t want this for you, Blaine.”“I am happy you are finally happy with Vera, but... that is not for me,” Blaine said with a stubborn press of his lips. His eyes flashed in defiance. I knew he was a grownup, but sometimes, I still felt like he was my little brother.“Vera didn’t want it either, but I won
