All Chapters of FATED TO BE WITH YOU : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Lily's POVVines, like creeping tendrils, had overtaken both the exterior and interior of the city, claiming it as their own. The once-great Drakemere now resembled an abandoned, haunted ruin, swallowed by time and the depths of the sea.“We’re looking for the dragon statues—the ones that match the tattoo on Eric’s back,” Mum said, lost in thought. I immediately knew she was referring to the same statues I had seen when Drakemere existed in the spirit realm.“If we spread out, we might find them quicker. That’s why I want you two to come,” she continued.“There’s no need for that,” I interrupted. A flicker of certainty surged through me. “I think I know where they are. Follow me.”Without hesitation, I swam toward what had once been the city’s grand entrance. As soon as we neared the front door, it groaned and creaked before swinging open, as though it had sensed our presence. I wasn’t expecting that—especially since so little of this city remained intact.Time had not been kind to Dr

"Do you think leaving Jess behind was a good idea?" I asked Alex as we ventured deeper into the narrow, dark passageway. Even though the dragon heart still shone brightly, I couldn’t bring myself to lower my guard. My wings remained tightly wrapped around it, forming a protective shield that blocked most of its light from illuminating our path."Are you worried about Jess?" Alex asked, his tone frustratingly casual, as if we hadn't just left her behind with that witch.I clenched my jaw. I had been so consumed with worry for Eric that I barely had time to process my anger toward my so-called aunt."Yes. Aren't we supposed to be?" I shot back."She’ll be fine. It’s the lady I’m scared for. She won’t even know what hit her," Alex replied with a smirk.His confidence should have reassured me, and maybe it did for a brief moment, but the pounding pain in my head from my last injury was becoming unbearable. It wasn’t healing as fast as I expected.We walked in silence for a while before Al

It felt like I had been trapped in nothing but darkness until now. As I opened my eyes, the cold floor pressed against my skin, and a sharp pain throbbed in my head. My body felt heavy as my gaze trailed down from my hands to my lower body. I wasn’t in my dragon form.What happened?The last thing I remembered was an unbearable pain searing up my back before my dragon took control. I pushed myself up onto my feet, my movements sluggish, and it was then that I noticed the figure standing before me."Alex?" I called, our eyes locking. But he just stood there, silent, his gaze weighed down with sorrow."What happened? What about the Dark Heart and the Witch Queen? Where are Jess and Lily?" My voice grew more urgent, but Alex said nothing. Instead, he let out a heavy, shaky breath as if struggling to speak, his chest rising and falling unevenly."Say something!" I demanded, frustration bleeding into my tone. "Stop looking at me like I no longer exist in this world!"The silence around him

When we arrived, everyone waited for our victory to be celebrated—but how could we celebrate with Lily like this? I followed Zyron to the Chamber of Waters, where Lily was carefully laid in the shallow, transparent lake, her body surrounded by the gentle shimmer of its magical surface. Alex went ahead to meet the leaders, leaving the two of us behind. As her body slowly sank into the glowing water, Zyron and I stood silently at the edge, just staring at her.“She’s going to be fine, right?” I asked Zyron, my voice barely a whisper, heavy with hope and fear.“I don’t know... we just have to wait,” he replied quietly. “We better head out,” he added before turning and walking away, his shoulders weighed with uncertainty. I stayed for a moment longer, casting one last, longing glance at Lily before leaving too. I needed to find my mum—I hadn’t seen her since I returned.As I stepped out of the chamber, I finally took a moment to breathe in the sight of the City of Drakemere. It stood tall

Lily’s POVI stared at her face as she struggled to free herself from my grip. But I couldn’t understand anything—everything around me was a blur of blue. I couldn’t even see the face of the person I held so tightly, but her name... her voice—it sounded so familiar.“Jess?” I called out, trying to recall where and how I knew that name. But instead of clarity, a blinding pain shot through my head like lightning. I let her go as my body crumbled, the strength in me slipping away like sand through fingers.I collapsed. The cold ground met me with a jolt of agony that rippled through every nerve in my body. My limbs were numb, my chest felt hollow. Then a shrill, piercing noise exploded in my head—like an alarm that wouldn’t stop. Through the haze, I saw a figure running toward me, and for a fleeting second, her face became clear.It was Jess.Her face was etched with devastation, fear dancing in her eyes as she rushed to me. I wanted to say something—anything—but I couldn’t move, couldn’
