Lahat ng Kabanata ng TAMING THE BEAST: HER LITTLE PET: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Drake struggled to steady himself against the rough bark of the tree he had been thrown into. His breath was ragged and his body ached from the blow.He had fought many battles but this one was simply too overpowered especially because he was on permanent offense. He shook his head again to clear up his blurry vision and then he looked up in search of the dragons and they were nowhere in sight. And then it clicked, his eyes widened in realisation that they must have sensed Elaina and Giselle at the tower and he shot up in alarm.“They went back, Elaina…” he muttered, his voice tight with urgency.Pain shot through his side as he pushed himself upright, but he ignored it completely. There was no time to recover, no time to think.He could barely hold his own against them, Elaina and Giselle would stand no chance. He couldn't let anything happen to his mate. Drake shifted instantly and launched himself into the air again. The wind tore past him as he flew back toward the tower, his h

Aurora’s eyelids fluttered slowly as though waking from a dream that had lasted far too long.Her breathing was shallow at first, her body was still unsure if it was allowed to live again, but then it stabilized after a few more seconds.“Elaina…” she whispered with her eyes still barely open.Elaina froze. She couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe and couldn’t even think. All she could do was stare at the woman before her, the woman she had searched for, longed for and cried for.Aurora’s eyes opened fully and the moment they landed on Elaina’s face, her face flashed with recognition and shock to see her there.Her dry lips parted slightly and her gaze traced every inch of Elaina’s face like she was trying to confirm that she was real. It has been over a decade but even in the darkest coven, Aurora would not fail to recognise her own flesh and blood. Not with the striking resemblance that stared back at her. She knew of her situation, being trapped in a nightmare for months on end. She ha

A week passed in the chief's house quicker than any of them expected but it was enough time to plan for what was next. True to his word, the chief gathered warriors. Not just a handful, but a force strong enough to shake the very foundations of a kingdom. They came from different clans, different lands with not just as an obligation to Drake but with high hopes for change and justice. Elaina stood beside Drake on the training grounds one evening, watching as the warriors sparred tirelessly. It has been a while since they were engaged in battle so Drake opted to ease their rustiness. “They are ready. They always were, the determination in their eyes is enough” Drake muttered, his arms folded as his watched them keenly. Elaina nodded in agreement, but her mind was elsewhere. She kept wondering what Charlotte was up to, knowing her it was probably something that involved risking other people's lives like lifeless pawns. The thought alone made her stomach tight with anxious knots. B

A week passed by swiftly and plans were made, unmade, and remade again. Every possible angle was discussed, every weakness considered and every risk weighed carefully. There was no room for error this time. Charlotte was not Xavier, she was smarter, more patient and dangerous. They had to be extremely careful. They were ready to move now and so disguised beneath Aurora’s illusion, the trio rode in their wagon till they arrived at the palace gate. Elaina’s heart raced as her eyes scanned the surroundings. Everything looked the same, yet nothing felt the same. The palace she once walked through freely after their battle with Xavier now felt like enemy ground. Drake walked beside her, his body calm but alert, he was keenly looking around for anything suspicious. While Aurora led slightly ahead, her posture was composed and her magic steady and ready “Stay close,” she murmured under her breath. They got past the gates as servants and Guards and other servants passed by them without

Charlotte stepped back from the trio, gesturing with her hand to the guard who moved in without hesitation.“Do it now,” she ordered.The guards grabbed Elaina, Drake and Aurora, forcing them forward. Chains rattled as they were dragged toward the execution blocks, a thick and worn out wood that had been stained with blood and sweat. The crowd resumed their wailing for mercy but their cries meant nothing… not to her.Elaina was forced down first, her hands bound tightly as her head was pushed against the cold wood. Drake followed with a strained grunt, his body resisting on instinct before the guards forced him down just the same.Aurora was the last and she did not struggle. She simply lowered herself, her expression calm… almost knowing.Charlotte watched them settle into place and her lips curled up in satisfaction.“Perfect,” she commented.The guards stepped back and drew their weapons in position while they waited for the final command.The courtyard turned quiet with bated bre
