Semua Bab TAMING THE BEAST: HER LITTLE PET: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Elaina arrived at the dungeon and the wardens greeted her as usual and opened the gate to Drake's cell for her.Drake was glad to see her, he pulled her in for a hug but noticed she reacted stiffly to it. He could tell something was wrong in an instant.“I went to the market to make more herbal potion for you, I did a little adjustment to the recipe to focus on conserving your energy instead since your estrus symptoms has calmed down” She said as she sat on the bed to bring out the items from her bag.Drake sat down and watched her offload the items while avoiding his gaze, he gently pulled her face up to look at him with his fingers. “What’s wrong Elaina? I can tell that something is bothering you” he asked in concern.Elaina had been thinking about everything she still had to do on her way here and she found herself feeling a little overwhelmed. She was worried about everything; the truth about her heritage and bloodline, finding her mother that had been missing for over a decade, t

“Elaina should be arriving any minute now” Drake mumbled to himself excitedly as he peeped through the small window in the cell.The sun was out indicating it was soon and every passing minute made Drake eager because Elaina could show up any moment. He especially loved the fact that he could never predict when his mate showed up, they never set a scheduled time for her visits. It kept him on his toes and made him look forward to seeing her fierce but pretty face.Drake reached out for the herbal mixture she gave him the previous day and took his required dosage for the day, instantly feeling his sapped energy returned. “Elaina sure does have magic hands for herbs, not really surprising when her mother was once the greatest magician. I reckon she would be as great as her too” He commented, impressed. He remembered her sad face the last time they met and his face dimmed a little. He was worried about her truly, she was quite down and he wished he could help ease her worries but he k

Elaina stared at him suspiciously, something was really bothering him like she had thought earlier. She wondered what it could be to make him so stiff.“One last time before I explain what's going on, are you sure you didn't stop by earlier for sex, I mean around three hours ago?” Drake asked with bated breath. He deeply wished she would say she was trying to play a little joke on him, anything but what he was assuming.“What?” Elaina asked, taken aback by his choice of question. She wasn't expecting him to ask her that, it sounded ridiculous especially with the fact that she couldn't have just barged in to demand that of him.“Please, didn't you come earlier?” he asked again, more frantic.“No I didn't, Drake. I purposely didn't show up because I didn't want you to know I was going back to my hometown. I went straight from Xavier's house and even bought a horse before embarking on my journey. This is my first time seeing you today… what is going on, Drake?” she asked, started to get

Elaina slumped on her bed with a loud frustrated sigh. Her heart was still pounding wildly from the adrenaline but it tangled with irritation and anger. It had been two days since Drake's essence was stolen mysteriously and she still had no clue on who it could be.Talking to the maids and guards told her Xavier was too far away but unfortunately she couldn't get much out of them aside that. His associations were buried deeply in their heart, they probably swore secrecy and only ended up replying with generic answers. Elaina tried a few more times with some other staff and eventually gave up when they kept saying the same thing. They were simply too loyal to tell her what she needed which surprised her seeing that Xavier was a selfish man. She had thought he would have some enemies within his workers who were waiting to pay him in his own coin, or maybe it was much scarier; like he threatened to harm their family if he sensed any disloyalty.She wouldn't be that surprised if that we

"I was a young 25 year old dragon when my father, the dragon king, died and I was immediately brought forward to replace him. It was a tough time for me, dragon kings were usually around the age of thirty years and I still had much to learn. But regardless of that, I knew what I wanted… a peaceful reign, just like my father” he paused to catch his breath and Elaina extended her hand to squeeze his lightly.“I’m sorry about your father” she said in a low but audible voice. She didn't know her father, not even a painting of him, so she had never truly felt his absence. Drake on the other hand grew with him for 25 years, his grief was still fresh. “Thank you, princess. It has been five years but I still miss him sometimes… same with my late sister who passed decades ago. The pain never really goes away sadly, you just learn to live with it. I know you understand what I mean” he replied in a solemn voice.Elaina nodded and squeezed his hand a little tighter. They had both experienced los
