Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed by the Dragon's flames : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

The next morning, Sage stirred awake. When the events of the previous night came back to her mind, her eyes immediately snapped open, and she looked beside her, searching for Kael. But she was surprised to find herself back in her room in the Black Manor. "Kael must have shifted into his dragon form to bring us back home. But with that level of poisoning, he shouldn't have," she murmured to herself with a deep, disapproving frown. She also remembered his abrupt kiss. Her fingers touched her lips in a daze. Last night, things were tense. So she didn't think much about it. But now that she was thinking clearly, she was not very happy. "That a*s stole my first kiss just to mess with me," she muttered with annoyance. An idea formed in her head. She smirked. "Well, you wanted a sweet kiss, then taste this," she said with a satisfied glint. She rubbed both her palms with excitement. She finished her morning routine, showered, and dressed in a white floral skirt with black and sil

Sage is looking at the DNA structures of shifters on a screen, trying to spot the difference between those born with a beast and those who weren't. It's been two days since the incident with Blethe. Kael drove her home, but she refused to speak with him. As soon as she arrived, she locked herself in her room. Not because she is still feeling unreasonable, but because she is guilty of what she did in Kael's cabin. She had no right to interfere in Kael's personal life. She usually never cared until he gave her a reason to. But today, she was way out of line. Even she could feel that. She didn't know how to face Kael after that. At the same time, she got a call from her professor, congratulating her on scoring the highest on the PhD entrance exam. He asked if she could join his team immediately. She agreed. So here she is, in Professor Alberto's lab, where she wanted to research her PhD thesis alongside the professor she respects. "You look like your mind is elsewhere Doctor," an unf

Sage and Kael entered inside the private room together. Music was blasting from the speakers, and a few others had been added to the room. Everyone was drinking and dancing, having fun. There was a huge 'U'-shaped couch pushed to the far end of the wall with a rectangular table in front of it. The rest of the room was open, filled with people dancing. "Kael," Blethe's voice greeted them from behind. Sage froze. Her whole body became as stiff as a board. Kael wrapped both his arms around her from behind when he noticed her reaction. No questions, no complaints, just him being him. A version of Kael that Sage had never experienced before. His move was smooth and casual. It made Sage actually feel a little better. "I hope I am not late," Blethe spoke up, her eyes briefly darting to Kael's hands, where they were now wrapped around Sage's abdomen. "No, you are on time," Nadia replied for Kael and dragged Blethe inside the room. Sage started to feel that uncomfortable urge to hurt

The next morning, by the time Sage went down for breakfast, she found Kael reading something on his laptop while sipping his coffee. Usually, she used to roll her eyes and ignore him. But recently, his actions and behavior have been different. She is not a fool. She knows he is caring for her because he promised her parents. Still, he is being sweet. Even with the incident with Blethe, he didn't judge her. So it might not be a surprise that a bright smile lit up her face when she saw him, especially after how he put Blethe in her place last night. "Hey," she greeted him sweetly. He glanced at her and gave her a half smile. His eyes sparkled a little, which she didn't notice before. "Morning, Princess," he greeted her and motioned for her to come closer with his hand. She approached him without hesitation. Today, she wore a floral rust-coloured sundress that reached a few inches above her knees. It was sleeveless with a high neck. "Won't you give me a good morning kiss, pri

"Sage, can't you see that I am talking with Prince Kael?" Blethe snapped in anger. Blethe couldn't stomach the way Kael was holding Sage as if she were his most treasured possession. She didn't miss how Sage acted so coquettishly and indulgently, which Kael seemed to find cute. As far as she knows Kael, he doesn't entertain women acting this way. But Sage is the exception to everything. "Miss Adams, if it were really that important, Kael wouldn't leave you as soon as I arrived. Clearly, he doesn't think it's that important. Moreover, I am not just barging into just anyone's cabin. It's Kael's cabin. If he doesn't have a problem, I don't think you should either. If it's his, then it's mine." Sage replied bluntly. She is not harsh and tried not to be rude. But for whatever godforsaken reason, she does not like Blethe. "Tamara Sage Varkas, this is not your Lycan Palace. This is the dragon turf. And Kael is the Dragon Prince, the sole heir. You should learn your place..." Blethe
