Drake is conflicted. What to do now? How can I make sure that Nyra is the offspring Sean is searching for? If she really is, then how can I save her. Is she really one among them? But she herself doesn't know that.
She is thinking of herself as a human. She used to think of Douglas as her father. Which was recently revealed that he is not.
Did Douglas really doesn't know who Nyra's father is? Or is he pretending? What about her grandmother? Did she know anything? Her aversion to dragons is it stemmed out of the fear of our race? Or is she scared that we might kill her granddaughter if we found out?
Drake needs answers and he needs them now.
'Cynthia might have all the answers I need' Drake decided.
'I need to go and visit her before everything blows out of proportion ' he decided.
Sean looked at Drake with a confused expression.
'What is making him so tense? Why is he so interested in the human woman, who was in love with one of
Mason sat in Drake's office along with the green dragon and Drake. Mason is an orange dragon, just like Drake, but not as powerful."So...Nyra might be one of them?"Mason asked for the third time."Yes," Drake answered for the third time.Usually, Drake is not very patient. But this is Nyra they are talking about. If what they found out just now is true, then she might be in great danger.So Drake needs to gather as many of his trusted confidants as he can. Going against the entire race of the dragons is not a simple thing.Going against everything he was taught and believed since the beginning might not be easy as well. Not for him, not for Mason, and definitely not for Sean.So he is letting Mason digest what they just told him. He likes Nyra, just like Steve likes her. If it comes to her safety, he would choose her in a heartbeat.Nyra is kind and easy to get along with. It's a tough pill to swallow, that she might be
Drake, Mason, and Sean reached Cynthia's town. They landed soundlessly in front of her house.Cynthia is doing house chores when she finds three big shadows blocking the light from the front door."What is it?" She thought and went out to see Drake and his friend standing there with a new man."Drake, my boy" Cynthia exclaimed with enthusiasm."Hello, Mrs. Cynthia" Drake greeted her as well."Hello, Mrs. Cynthia" Mason greeted with a small smile."Did you bring Nyra too?" Cynthia asked looked around them."No, I came here to talk to you about something important" Drake informed her.Cynthia's stared at him with confusion. But she soon smoothed out her features and smiled a little."Then come on inside. We can talk there" she invited them in.'Something is wrong. Drake is looking tensed. Is my Nyra alright?' She thought.Drake, Mason, and Sean followed behind the old woman into her modest house."Please take your
"No no, Mr. Hamilton, I really don't know anything. You have to believe me" Douglas insisted.Drake too understood that Douglas is lying. But he cannot find fault with that man. He protected Nyra the best way he could so that she wouldn't be killed by the elders.If they found out about her identity, then Drake is sure that they would have killed Nyra by now. He never would have got the opportunity to meet her and make her his mate.He admires Douglas for sticking up to his lie, even though three dragons are surrounding him and questioning Nyra.So Drake understood one more thing. He knows the danger to Nyra if her true identity is revealed.So he decided to try in that angle.After all, they all want one thing. To protect Nyra."They found out Douglas. They sent someone to kill her. If you don't come clean now, even I might not save her. She is my mate, and these two are loyal to me. So if you know anything, then it's time to reveal the
Anna, who is with her sister, in a small town beside the Ayur forest, dialed Nyra's number to look if she is still with her grandmother.Nyra was working, when she received a call from Anna.She looked at the caller id and smiled a little."Hello Anna" she answered cheerfully."Hello, Nyra" Anna greeted back with a grin."I came back to stay with my sister for a couple of days. Sean has some work it seems. So he didn't feel it was a good idea to let me stay at our home alone. So he dropped me off here this morning" Anna told Nyra.'Oh, something must be important if Sean dropped off Anna at her sister's home' Nyra thought."Oh, really? I heard he came here to meet Drake and then they went out with some work" Nyra told Anna.Anna was startled. Sean told her he is going to meet the elders. Did he went there to take Mr. Hamilton along with him?' Anna thought."Oh, Sean told me he had some work with the dragon elders. They must have
When Lord Alpine heard that his brother has a daughter, he was shocked. He assumed it would be a boy. Nonetheless, he is happy to have her in fairy."The next successor of the throne is a girl?" he asked his advisor 'Koni' the cunning fox."Yes My Lord" Koni answered.He is not happy to find out that the dead Sibling of the Lord Alpine has offspring. That too a daughter, the next queen of the winter realm of fairy.'I did all this to destroy this throne. But still, there is a girl out there, who is ready to become a queen ' he thought darkly.'Don't worry Lord Alpine, I will make sure to use your next queen to get that relic, and then she would die. Exactly like I killed your brother' Koni thinks with an evil gleam in his eyes."Send some Royal guards to bring her back to where she belongs. I will go and bring her mother from the cells in the basement. She gave a queen to this throne. She no longer deserves to stay in the basement" Lor
Lord Alvin freed his wife Avery from the basement and led her into his personal quarters.He found a maid passing by in the corridor, on their way towards their rooms.When the maid noticed the person walking in front of her, she stood rooted to the spot in shock."King Alvin?" She bowed deeply with respect.Alvin nodded his head."You are awake?" She fae maid exclaimed happily."Yes, meet your winter queen, Avery, My wife. Go and prepare our rooms. Today I will bring your princess home. My daughter and the next successor of the winter realm. I need you to prepare her room and clothes as well" Alvin announced.The maid became extremely happy. She ran to gather the other maids to finish the work given to her.Soon the news of the Winter king being awake from his coma spread all around the palace and the realm. The news reached Lord Alpine's ears as well.Lord Alpine was always feeling guilty that his brother died because pushed hi
Nyra is sitting in her office, after disconnecting the call from Anna. She is in shock."Drake is my mate""Drake is my mate""Drake is my mate"She keeps repeating that on and on, to digest the fact.She remembered every single instance where he could have told her the truth. But he didn't. He toyed with her emotions, all the while knowing that he is my mate. The one who took me on that night in a haze.'Caroline drugged him' she now remembered the words Roland spoke to her once.She is feeling like an idiot for not connecting the dots earlier.'Drake, I have a mate' she protested so many times, with guilt.'We can cross that bridge when we get there ' he said, instead of telling her that he is her mate."Why Drake? Why did you do this to me? Why did you play with my emotions? I have trusted you so much. But you didn't trust me the way I trusted you. Why did you hide this from me? Why?" Nyra cried with despair.
Dragons and Fairies have some bad blood between them. So they hate each other to the point, that they banned each other into their respective worlds.If my father is a fairy, then I am one too.'Dragons will kill you if they find out who you are'If what my father is telling is true, then the dragons will kill me if they find out that I am a fairy.Even Drake would not protect her. He cannot go against the entire race.'He already betrayed you Nyra, if he finds out that you are a fairy, then he would betray you again' her subconscious reminded her.But he is my mate, she thought bitterly.'If it comes to his life or yours, anyone would choose their own life. No one will be ready to die for another person ' her subconscious argued.'But he saved me from the Ayur forest' Nyra pointed out.'That's because he knows he wouldn't die. But when he is sure he might die, then why will he put his life on the line?' her subconsci
