Chapter Eighty-One

“Do you regret it?” I ask Reni after a tense moment of silence. She sighs, and hangs her head. “Often. But I love what I do. I love serving Erik, and helping him protect our people. I am of better use to him this way, as it is.” She nods once, firmly, and I imagined her telling herself that line over and over again. If only she’d never had to make such a harsh choice at such a young age. I thought about how even in my old world, women were often not given freewill over their own bodies. In this world, that was even more evident. “Has it always been like this?” I ask, crossing my arms and resting them on my knees. I didn’t want to know something so cold and barbaric about this place I was slowly falling in love with. I wanted it to be perfect, but it clearly wasn’t. And that was why I kept pushing.“Since the species separated, yes.” I tilt my head to the side. “Why did they separate? Something must have happened.” Reni sighs, and finally turns to look at me. She walks over to w

Chapter Eighty-Two

“What happened to Gyrm?” I ask Reni after a moment of silence.She grins evilly. “Erik happened. When he became of age, he challenged his father for his spot leading the Alva. He didn’t have to, Gyrm would’ve been forced out eventually anyways. But he knew he would never really go away, he would always be there. A threat. A problem. Always disagreeing with his diplomatic leadership style.” She glances down at me. I must look scared, because she chuckles a little. “There is no need to worry. I can assure you, Erik is not like his father. I can count the number of times I’ve seen him angry on one hand.” “Why are Alva numbers so important? Why are you forced to breed?” “Has Erik told you of the Ranka?” I nod. “He told me they were the worst of the species. But not much else.”“He isn’t wrong. They are the escaped slaves of Sanju, and their descendants. They’ve gained strength by raping ours and other species woman, killing their babies for blood, and stringing their warriors up as a

Chapter Eighty-Three

It’s cold. Very cold. Where am I that’s so cold? Last I remember I was walking with Reni… I remember getting incredibly hot, the exact opposite of the temperature I was currently feeling around me.“Gudinna? Are you here with me?” I open my eyes, sitting up and smacking my head into something immediately. I back up a little at the sight of Bacudal inches away from my face, his yellow slitted eyes staring into mine. I look around, pushing myself off the floor. “Why am I here? What's happening?” I ask, my eyes flicking to his nest of eggs in the middle of the cold, freezer-like room. “I called you here. It’s urgent.” He came forward again, his eyes darting every which way. “There is a Gud here, on my land.” I watch him as he darts towards his eggs, laying a hand on each one before looking back at me. “I fear he comes for my babies.” My heart stops. “Why would he come for them?” I step forward and he slithers down to me again. “They will imprint on and serve whoever touches them

Chapter Eighty-Four

Despite being totally underqualified, I did as Bacudal instructed, and backed myself into the darkest corner I could find, stretching my ears out to listen. My heart was racing so hard in my chest, I was convinced it was going to burst through my ribcage. The minutes ticked by, and finally, I heard a crash. It sounded like the front door being kicked open. I could feel a bead of sweat rolling down my forehead despite the cold temperature. I swallowed thickly, trying to push my fear down as far as I could. I can do this. I can do this. A childish snicker from Bacudal followed by another slam, a crash. Footsteps coming up the stairs. “STOP!” Bacudal is screaming. Even though he knew the Gud was coming for his babies, I cou

Chapter Eighty-Five

I force my eyes to move to the man who had just killed Bacudal. He's picked up the red eyed dragon by the tail and is looking at it upside down as it cries. His face is contorted in disgust as he glares at it's wiggling body. No. He’s touched it. But they’re not singing yet? It didn't count then, right? As soon as I think that, the two who remain in the nest start making a humming noise, a noise I can only assume is singing. I’d never seen dragons hatch before, so I had no idea what I was supposed to be listening for. This sounded close enough to me, though. I don’t think, just take a breath

Chapter Eighty-Six

“Shit!” I sit up quickly, gasping and frantic as I try to figure out where I am. “My lady!” There were hands all over me, grabbing my face, touching me. “Back up!” I yell without really thinking, and everyone listens. I looked around frantically, trying to find out where I was. Was that real? Was Bacudal really dead? Where were his dragon babies? Had I saved them? My heart was pounding in my chest, and the back of my head hurt from where the man had grabbed a chunk of my hair. I reach back and can feel the tangles and knots. It was real. All that really did just happen. I was on the ground in the middle of the area in front of the common house. I was dresse

Chapter Eighty-Seven

We pushed the wedding back a day, to give the dragon babies time to get in. We didn’t want them landing in the middle of the ceremony. It was Erik’s idea, and I was a little surprised. But when he leaned into my ear and said he wanted me to be focused on nothing but him on our wedding night, it made sense again.He was just being a hornball. Meanwhile, all I could think about was how the hell I was supposed to raise dragons. Erik told me everyone would help, so they would really just need love from me. “Dragons need love?” I asked when he said that. He shrugs. “Unless you planned on using them for slaves, without love, a dragon is just a feral creature.” I shake my head. “I would never keep anything as a slave.” Erik smiles. “Then they will come to you for that. Eventually they will gain human forms, like Bacudal did. “I wonder who loved him…” I mused. “You already know the answer to that.” Erik had said. It was Sanju. I was sitting on the window ledge in Erik’s room right n

Chapter Eighty-Eight

“You are already attached.” Erik says as he stands in front of me a few minutes later. He’s placed Binny in the nest he made with pillows and blankets already, and is taking Bacus from my arms to do the same. “Go get comfy.” I nodded and pulled my pants off so I was just in a shirt and underwear. “You tired?” I ask Beatrix. She chirps, and yawns. “Of course you are. I’m proud of you for finding me.” I whisper, petting her cheek with one finger. She chirps again, and blinks heavily, leaning into me. I did not think dragons would be so affectionate. How could anyone make this thing into a slave? Erik was right, I was already getting attatched. Thinking of someone hurting them made rage bubble in my stomach.I climbed into the nest, waiting for Beatrix to hop off my shoulder and curl up with her siblings. I honestly had no idea if she was even a she, or if the other two were boys. I was just guessing. But she had pretty, almond shaped eyes with thick, short lashes that looked so feminin

Chapter Eighty-Nine

This is what these people qualify as a wedding dress? Thirty minutes later, and I still felt naked. The dress was mostly see through mesh, with swirls of plated gold on the boobs and crotch. Also the only thing preventing me from flashing the whole world. From the back, you could see everything. “There is nothing here.” I cry, looking desperately at Chepi. “I’m naked. Like legit.” My hair is wavy and soft, my makeup is light and natural, and the dress is non existent. “It’s a traditional Alva wedding dress.” “And everyone wears these?” I shriek. The other servants are cleaning up the mess from getting ready quickly, avoiding looking at me as I bitch about my dress. “Well, no. But you are quite beautiful. And it looks just as it should on you.” I sigh, shaking my head. “ I need underwear. Do I have white ones?” She nods, her eyes lighting up. I take the white stringy underwear she hands me a moment later. That's a bit better, I guess. Although I must admit, when I thought about

Chapter Ninety

I smiled against Erik's mouth at the yells of congratulations from the watching Alva at the top of the path. I pull away, resting my forehead against his and back up a little. I stared into his sea foam green eyes, thinking about how crazy this was that I did this, but also feeling... happy. As I've said, I hadn't any luck with men in the other world, so I wasn't sure I was ever even going to get married. To be standing here now, a crazy handsome man in front of me looking down like he was the lucky one? I couldn't help the excited skip in my heart.“What now?” I whisper, searching his eyes. I laugh and squeal when he suddenly picks up and throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I can hear cheering and whooping, encouragment from all the watching Alva. At least no one was booing us, demanding to know why'd he'd marired some wanna be Mann from another world.“Now I get to show you what I’ve been building for you this week.” He flips me around once we start walking throu
