All Chapters of Alpha Draekon My Nemesis: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

VAELORA watched in silence as Draekon reviewed paperwork after paperwork. He didn't seem the least bit perturbed, and it irked her to no end, seeing as she was actually dying to know what Lady Helena and her father had been discussing in the inner room, for the past hour. Chief Wofah had arrived the royal House very early that morning, requesting to speak with his daughter. The previous night had been a very.... surprising one for Vaelora. For everyone. No one had expected that one of the consort candidates for the Alpha King could turn out to be the Gamma's mate. Ambrose hadn't wasted a single second in claiming her, but it seemed to be that Helena was.... scared of being with him. She had kept shivering and shaking her head in the disagreement, the closer Ambrose came to her. If Vaelora didn't know better, she would have said Helena Wofah was rather interested in being a royal consort. But she knew better. She knew enough to have noticed that right from the mo

IT WAS already noon, and Vaelora was finally feeling better. She hopped down her bed, getting into her routine for the day. After the unexpected turn of events at Andronikos' lair last night, Vaelora had returned to their chambers, sapped off her energy. It was understandable, seeing as she was shifting for the first time in years. Her body had managed to seize control from her wolf, who was very excited to be back after such a long time of dormancy. It was rare to see a wolf and dragon mated. But it was so obvious that Vaelora's wolf; Nyla, had been very eager to remain in Dronikos' presence. As Vaelora went into the bathing chambers, she gazed at her reflection in the mirror. She looked different. Felt different. It felt good to have Nyla back, and Vaelora couldn't help but think about the extra problems she was compounding. Regardless of the fact that she knew the sundering rites would dissolve whatever bond between she and Draekon, she wasn't so pleased about th

"Draekon..... You'll keep to your word and let me go. Won't you?" Vaelora asked. Draekon looked away, unsure how he felt in that moment. It was definitely not a deliberate decision of his, to have promised her such freedom. He would never do that. He could never let her go, knowing how badly he wished to consume her very soul. "You should find a way out, first. Until then, Vaelora." He muttered coldly, gently prodding his horse to take a turn back in the direction of the royal House. Vaelora reluctantly followed him behind, not sure why she felt confused. He had given her the answer she wanted to hear, but why did it feel as though he wasn't going to keep to his word? Much worse, why did the thought of being caged by Draekon, make her pulse race? While Draekon rode away, he couldn't help but think back to the day he had given Vaelora that stupid chance at leaving. It had done something to his ego, watching her rant about how she never wanted to remain with him.

"I know it sounds crazy, Lora. But I know what I felt that day. I am certain." Zayn brushed his fingers through his hair. "We were already leaving for Shadow Fang, but I hopped off the carriage anyways. I didn't find her...." This time, Vaelora looked at him in mild confusion. "Wait.... you actually sniffed her out here in Iron-Vale?" She asked incredulously. "All the while, I had thought these all happened at the Shadow Fang province." "No." Zayn shook his head. "It happened the very day I was to leave for Shadow Fang." "Tell me everything." Vaelora demanded, adjusting her weight to get more comfortable on the bed. "It was actually a very brief experience. One minute I was in the carriage, quite sad about the turn out of things. And the next minute, we had already started driving out, when I caught whiff of the most consuming scent in my life." "Wow." Vaelora whispered, her attention not faltering. "I asked the postilion to stop riding, and hopped down the ca

VAELORA finally stepped out of their bathing chambers, still yet to get over what had transpired between she and Draekon. She felt hot in a way she couldn't explain. And no, it wasn't because she had soaked in warm water for long. Factually speaking, the water had gone cold by the time she woke. She quickly threw on some clothes, scared and somewhat excited at the thought of Draekon walking in on her nude form again. Shortly after, Danika showed up to inform her that Chief Om'zaar had arrived for the meeting they were scheduled to have that morning. Vaelora went down to the tea room and welcomed him warmly, to his delight. For the first few minutes after that, they discussed random parliamentary issues, including the threat on Alpha Khol'an's title. Danika appeared with some refreshments, and after he had eaten to his fill, Vaelora introduced the main topic of discussion she had in mind. "To be sincere with you, Luna, I do not think ending the consort selection i
