Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fated To The Werewolf Dragon King : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Adriana had been with Tari until the middle of the day, when Tari was summoned, and she was now left alone.Tari’s face had turned sour when the queer-looking man with a tiny frame had come over to them to tell her that her presence was needed. She had only spared Adriana a glance with a stiff smile on her lips as she excused herself and left her standing alone.Adriana looked around her but none of the other royal slaves were in sight.They had all left the Moon Solar a while back and had all gone their separate ways.The path Adriana was taking didn't seem familiar. This ground was new and Tari had been showing her around but now without her guidance, Adriana felt lost but she didn't stop.She reached a corner and took it. This path was narrow and Adriana walked on.She was almost at the end when she felt a surge of energy flow through her veins and her bones cracked.Adriana halted and frowned still feeling the energy. Then her feet moved on their own and she came to the end of the

Adriana saw the look in the King's eyes and the heat burned in her.Excitement was building up inside her but she struggled for control.But it was difficult especially with the way the King was staring at her.He was too close and he had ordered her to stand still so she couldn't shift away.The proximity was getting to her and she tried to steady her breathing.She saw his hand coming up but it stopped and a frown appeared on his face.The King took a step back and then another until he was a few feet from her and Adriana released the breath she didn't know she was withholding.“I'm not sure if you are lost as you claim but you shouldn't be walking into unknown places or even places that don't exist.” Kallias' voice was clipped and Adriana bit her tongue trying hard not to argue.“Let's go.” Kallias turned and started walking away.Adriana glanced back once and then followed right after him.They got out of the bushes and Adriana sighed in relief.She had been worried when she hadn'

The sound of the cock's crowing and the chirping of the birds, marked the beginning of a new day.Adriana stirred on the bed but her eyes were wide open and heavy. She had barely slept through the night.She had tried to find sleep but it hadn't been forthcoming and it worsened when she heard footsteps striding in the hallway behind the hidden door and the sound of a door being opened and closed.She had known it was the King's and he was settling for the night. But what made her situation worse, was the heat that came from the thought of him being nearby.She had heard the first crowing of the cock and tried to force sleep but the second crow had come an hour later, announcing dawn.She slowly got up and stretched her stiff limbs, then went out and headed to the bathtub.She met Annie and some royal slaves already there and her eyes searched around for Tari.“Beautiful one.” Annie's hysterical voice sounded from a corner and Adriana bowed slightly.“Good morning.”“Morning, morning,

The afternoon sun hung low above the palace walls, painting the stone corridors in warm shades of gold.Adriana followed closely behind Tari as they crossed one courtyard after another."So..." Tari glanced over her shoulder with a teasing smile. "This friend of yours must be important."Adriana smiled faintly. "She is.""You've only been separated for a day.""It feels much longer."Tari's smile softened. "I understand."They walked in silence until they reached the servants' quarters.Tari stopped before a narrow passage hidden behind rows of stacked barrels."The kitchens are beyond that wall," She whispered. "The slave quarters are on the other side. We shouldn't be here."Adriana looked around cautiously. "No one comes here often?""Not unless they're delivering supplies." She replied quietly.Tari hesitated before grabbing Adriana's wrist."You only have a few minutes. If anyone asks, I was never here.""I won't forget this."Tari nodded. "I'll wait here."Adriana slipped into t

Adriana tightened her trembling fingers into fists, refusing to let the fear on her face reach the man before her.The assassin had grazed her ribs with his dagger but Mia healed them up.Erica was gone.That was all that mattered.Now she only had to survive long enough for help to arrive.The assassin rolled his shoulders, the dagger glinting as he twirled it between his fingers."You've bought yourself a few moments," he said with a humorless chuckle. "Nothing more."He sprang forward.Adriana sidestepped at the last second. The blade sliced through the air where her chest had been.She countered immediately, driving her elbow toward his jaw.He tilted his head just enough to avoid the strike before swinging his arm toward her ribs.Adriana jumped back, but the dagger grazed her sleeve, tearing the fabric.She retaliated with a swift kick aimed at his knee.He blocked it with his shin and shoved her backward.She staggered back and her boots skidded across the stone pavement.The a
