All Chapters of Return of the Dragon Queen: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Two days later, early in the morning Elena, Liam and Rayan said their goodbyes to Elena’s family and mounted their dragons and took to the skies flying in the direction of Asterin.The wind rushed past them, cool and sharp, as the world beneath shrank into a patchwork of forests and rivers. From atop his dragon, Onyx, Rayan turned his head slightly, voice raised over the whistling wind “So…” he called out, a grin tugging at his lips “once we reach Asterin, where are you two lovebirds headed too?”Liam, riding just ahead on Aragon’s sleek back, glanced over his shoulder “First stop is the royal palace, we promised Uncle Edward we’d spend some time with him after the engagement” He paused briefly before continuing, “After that… we’re heading to Solmara City.”“Oho?” Rayan said, drawing the word out in mock curiosity “So it’s time for the grand introduction

As the sun climbed steadily across the sky, the spires of Asterin’s royal palace finally came into view, glittering like a crown upon the cliffs that overlooked the emerald forests and silver rivers below. The three riders guided their dragons into a smooth descent, the massive wings stirring the morning mist into dancing swirls above the palace gardens.With a final beat of powerful wings, Aragon, Onyx, and Sapphire touched down gracefully just beyond the palace gates.Elena dismounted lightly, giving Sapphire’s scaled snout an affectionate pat. As soon as her feet touched the marble path, a soft ripple of magic danced over Sapphire’s body. The massive white dragon’s body started shrinking, scales giving way to pale skin, wings dissolving into a cascade of her silver hair until a young girl stood beside Elena. Sapphire adjusted the silver clasp on her cloak and fell into step behind her master without a word, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

After the hearty breakfast, which had somehow stretched lazily into late morning with all the chatter and gentle teasing, everyone finally began to drift back into their own rhythms.When the last cups were cleared away and the sunlight in the sun gallery shifted toward noon, Elena gently excused herself, slipping her hand through Cassandra’s arm, both walked towards Cassandra’s room to have there conversation regarding Eldorea.While Alisha went to get done with some of her works, Alina took Sapphire with her to show her, her new pet.Meanwhile, Liam had stayed back a moment, exchanging a few quiet words with Edward and Elizabeth, then turned on his heel and made his way toward the palace library — to find information for the quest Elena had given him.As he stepped out into the marble hallway, hands tucked into his cloak pockets, he heard two familiar sets of footsteps behind him.“Oi, Liam!” came Louis’s lazy

Three months later…Aragon flew over a wasteland that seemed suspended in time, scouting the surroundings of crude town there before going back to the town. The town had scattered arrangement of stone huts and tents, crude and worn by the wind that didn’t blow. At the centre of it stood a massive tomb-like structure, blackened with age and crowned with an oppressive, creeping silence.Aragon landed at the edge of the settlement, before a towering iron gate flanked by two armoured figures. Their weapons gleamed with a dull sheen, as if coated in something older than rust.As Liam swung down from Aragon’s back, the dragon flew back to the nearby stables to rest, nostrils flaring once before slipping into a watchful doze.As Liam strode forward, the guards dipped their heads in a silent bow before swinging open the heavy iron gate without a word. Without pausing, Liam passed through the threshold and made his way directly toward the ancien

“Mine…” he growled softly, every kiss sealing that promise into her skin “Only mine…”Elena’s soft gasp turned into a half-laugh, half-whimper as his lips marked a slow, heated path down her neck. She clutched at his shoulders, eyes fluttering shut when he found that tender spot just above her collarbone, the place he knew made her forget the world existed.“Liam…” she breathed, though it came out more like a plea than a scolding.“Mmh?” he hummed against her skin, mouth curving into a wicked smile that she could feel rather than see.“Stop— wait—” she managed, but any protest dissolved when he nipped lightly at her pulse, then soothed it with his tongue. The sensation made her knees weaken and a soft, helpless sound escaped her throat.When he finally lifted his head, his eyes were dark, pupils blown wide with possessive heat. Her own reflection trem
