Chapter 1

I paid a high price to have Martina Conti assist me in giving birth.However, she barely glanced at what lay beneath me before her knees gave way, and she fell to the ground with a thud.She traced a cross over her chest, praying in a low voice incessantly."You didn't tell me you weren't giving birth to a human," she said hoarsely.I bit my lip and looked down, my heartbeat slowly spiraling out of control.There were three dazzling, smooth, crimson eggs lying silently on the bedding.Martina stepped back two paces, pressing her back against the wall as her chest heaved violently."The whole Terella knows Don Fontana is waiting for an heir. But you've given birth to three monsters. To bring such things into the world in a place like this… Alessia Romano, do you know the consequences you will face?"My throat tightened, rendering me unable to speak."No, impossible. This can't be real," I muttered under my breath.I pinched my arm hard—it hurt terribly. I wasn't dreaming.The

Chapter 2

Right at that critical moment, hurried footsteps came from the other end of the hallway."Don Fontana!" It was a Soldato, his voice panicked. "Bad news! A rival family is causing trouble at our docks, and several of our men have been injured."The sound of the door being broken down stopped abruptly.Lorenzo let out a scoff. "They sure know how to pick a time to cause trouble. Get the car ready. I'm going to go take a look."As the footsteps receded into the distance, that suffocating sense of oppression vanished along with them.I collapsed onto the bed, gasping heavily for air. I'd survived, if only for now.I forced myself to look up at pale-faced Martina, who was standing to the side. Although she'd chosen not to betray me, she still kept her distance from the three eggs."Martina, thank you for buying me time just now," I said in a low voice.She could've shouted the truth through the door, but she didn't.Martina finally spoke, her expression unusually complicated. "I've

Only Silvia and I remained in the underground garage. She slowly turned around, her gaze cutting into me like a knife.After staring at me for a few seconds, she suddenly chuckled. "Don't think that just because Lorenzo spared you, this is over. I alone get to be Donna, so you'd better give up on that idea!"With that, she walked away haughtily.As she passed by me, she deliberately flicked her hair. The ends of her hair struck my face.I rubbed my cheek, too bewildered to even get mad.Lorenzo had killed countless people, so why had he let me go?In fact, he hadn't even gotten angry about his car being destroyed like that.The three birds seemed to realize they had caused trouble. They cautiously flew over and nuzzled my legs with their warm little heads."Mommy, don't be afraid. That mean woman is gone now."I took a deep breath and pulled them tightly into my arms.No matter what, I was no longer alone.…The next morning, Lorenzo went to inspect the branch office. No so

Chapter 4

Lorenzo's voice was quiet, but it sent a chill through everyone in the room.The Soldati froze mid-motion, their electric batons raised, and turned around in unison.Silvia was completely oblivious to what was coming. The moment she saw Lorenzo, she immediately put on a wounded expression and hurried over in her high heels."Don Fontana, you're finally back! Alessia got hold of three monsters from somewhere, and they bit me! I was just getting rid of these filthy things for you!"Lorenzo entered the room and said in an unreadable tone, "Silvia, who gave you the authority to hurt my woman?"All the color drained from Silvia's face in an instant. "I thought—""You thought?" Lorenzo repeated languidly. "You thought you could make decisions on my behalf?"With every step he took forward, Silvia took one back."Don Fontana, Alessia faked a pregnancy and even kept three fire-breathing monsters as pets. I was just cleaning house for you."Lorenzo ignored her and crouched down to look

Chapter 5

That night, Lorenzo had someone apply the best ointment to my wounds.The three wyrmlings squeezed in beside me and fell into a deep sleep. Vorn snored in his sleep, while Vex ground his teeth. Vyre wrapped his tail around my wrist, afraid that I might run away.I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Mafia Don, king of all dragons, red dragon—all of this was still too much for my mind to process.…Early the next morning, Lorenzo came to fetch me himself.He'd changed into a black trench coat and stood at the doorway like someone who'd just stepped out of a fashion magazine."Let's go," he said."Where?""Dragon Island."The three wyrmlings were already awake, tearing wildly around the room.Vex's eyes lit up at the words "Dragon Island"."Is there gold there?" he asked."Yup.""Are there gems?""A ton of them.""Mommy, quick, let's go!" Vex pulled at my pant leg with his teeth, trying to drag me out. Meanwhile, Vorn and Vyre nudged me from both sides.I was pushed rig

Chapter 6

After settling down on Dragon Island, I finally understood just how vast the dragon clan really was. They were spread all over the world, with branch families in Terella, Axiom, and Zephyra.The red dragons were the ruling bloodline, responsible for governing all branch families. Not only was Lorenzo a mafia Don, but he was also the king of the entire dragon clan. That made our three wyrmlings the princes, and me the queen.It sounded impressive, right?But in reality, my days on Dragon Island were far from relaxing.The silver-eyed elderly woman was Vittoria Moretti. She was an elder of the dragon clan, responsible for educating wyrmlings and newcomers.Even though she no longer said anything about me being unworthy, she pushed me harder than anyone."As the wife of the Red Dragon King, you must learn to control your own dragon power.""But I don't have any dragon power.""You do. It's just very weak and has been dormant for over 20 years. You need to awaken it."And so every

Chapter 7

After I awakened my dragon power, the changes in my body grew more and more pronounced.First, my body temperature rose. I used to be sensitive to the cold, but now I felt hot even wearing just a single layer in the dead of winter.Second, I became much stronger. One time, I casually slammed my hand down on a solid wood table, and it split right down the middle.Vorn, Vex, and Vyre clapped from the sidelines. "Mommy, that was incredible!""...That table was pretty expensive, wasn't it?" I asked.Lorenzo glanced at it and replied, "Not really—just a couple million dollars."I decided I would try my best to keep my hands to myself from then on.The most important change was that I began to develop a telepathic connection with my three wyrmlings. Without them even speaking, I could feel their emotions.I knew if Vorn was hungry, or if Vex wanted to go out to play, or if Vyre was secretly hiding gems."This is the blood bond between a dragon mother and her wyrmlings," Ms. Moretti

Chapter 8

On my 30th day on Dragon Island, Ms. Moretti suddenly told me that the Council of Elders would be convening, and I had to attend."The Council of Elders?" I was taken aback. "Didn't they already accept me?""Acceptance is one thing—formally bestowing a title is another," Ms. Moretti replied. "Since your dragon power has stabilized, the Council has decided to formally grant you the title of Red Dragon Queen.""Is this title important?""Very important. With this title, you will be recognized as the queen of the dragon clan. No member of our kind will ever dare challenge your position again." I thought for a moment, then said, "Alright. When?""Tomorrow."Early the next morning, Ms. Moretti dragged me off to get changed. She'd prepared a deep crimson gown with gold dragon embroidery running along the hem for me.My hair was pinned up, and a small crown was placed on my head.Vorn, Vex, and Vyre had also been dressed up, each with a small golden bow tie around their necks.Vyre

Chapter 9

Vorn, Vex, and Vyre kept getting bigger by the day. Before I knew it, they stood almost up to my waist. Their wings had also grown larger, spanning seven feet when fully extended.They started learning to fly over Dragon Island, circling the air all day. Occasionally, they would race each other to see who could fly the fastest.Vex always won.Vorn flew the highest, with the best stamina of the three.Vyre had the most flair. He loved doing somersaults and once plunged into the sea.It scared the hell out of me, but he was completely unbothered. He flapped out of the water, grinning as if nothing had happened."Mommy, aren't I amazing?""Yes, yes. But don't do it again."Lorenzo said that once they got a little older, their formal training would begin. They'd learn combat, magic, dragon history, the dialects of the different family branches, and more.I felt exhausted just hearing about it."Isn't it too soon for all that? They're only a few months old," I argued."We dragon
