"Come, I prepared your favorite blueberry pancakes," Cynthia said with a forced smile, suppressing the turmoil in her mind.
"Why did you trouble yourself with all that grandma? I would have cooked for both of us" Nyra said, looking at her grandmother sweating.
Cynthia smiled for real this time.
"Nonsense, I am not that old yet darling" she teased Nyra like they used to tease each other.
Nyra laughed despite herself.
They started eating silently until aloud knock on their door, startled them.
Nyra frowned a little.
'Who would come this early?' She thought with puzzlement.
Cynthia became pale when she heard the sound. She knows who it might be. She is scared for Nyra.
She looked up to tell her granddaughter not to open the door, but it's too late. Nyra already opened the door and looking at Christopher with a blank face.
"What do you want?" Nyra asked Christopher, who is openly ogling at her.
That snapped him back
Drake hugged Nyra protectively in his arms. He glared at Christopher from above her head.Cynthia is still in shock from the way Christopher has behaved. But the biggest one came in the form of two dragons. Currently, Nyra is hugging one of them.She is even more stunned when the said dragon was holding Nyra as if she is the most precious thing in the world for him.Cynthia never thought a dragon would cherish a human the way this dragon is holding Nyra. It's against everything she ever heard and saw. But the proof is standing right in front of her.Christopher is furious. Just now she wiped her palm when he touched her. But now, she is hugging this dragon as if he is her lifeline."What the hell Nyra? When I just touched your palm, you behaved as if I am diseased and wiped that palm until it's raw and red. But now you are hugging this dragon?" Christopher yelled at Nyra.Nyra stiffened in Drake's arms. She was angry with Christo
Nyra knows Drake is playing with Christopher, before going for the kill. She is angry at him for putting her on the spot."Get rid of him" she muttered to Drake, referring to Christopher, before turning away.Christopher looked between them and he is growing agitated."Who is he Nyra?" Christopher asked again when she didn't answer him the first time."None of your business" she snapped at Christopher.Originally she planned to lock herself in her room and let Drake deal with Christopher and her grandmother. She knows she is acting like a coward. But she trusts Drake would deal with everything thankfully.She would never accept it in front of him, but he is much calmer and collected in stressful situations like this than her. She would become anxious and angry, but he would remain calm and collected.So she decided to leave him to that task. She would go and hide in her room until then.When Drake noticed Nyra going into her room
After Drake revealed everything, Cynthia is feeling extremely happy. She was always worried about Nyra. That child has suffered since she is young. She deserves a better life.That's the reason, Cynthia wanted Nyra to marry Christopher. He used to be a nice boy. But his behavior in the past two days is telling her otherwise.Good thing, God blessed Nyra with a very powerful and protective mate."We should go back now" Drake's words brought Cynthia back to reality.Upon hearing Drake's words, Cynthia hesitated a little.Drake looked at the hesitancy on the older lady's face."Is there anything else on your mind?" Drake asked the lady.Cynthia sighed and decided to tell him."It's been a long time since Nyra stayed away from me. I got used to her presence around here. Can she stay with me for a couple of days?" Cynthia asked Drake.Drake doesn't want to stay away from Nyra. But at the same time, he cannot reject her grandmoth
"Yes," he replied with a smug smile.Nyra instantly became irritated. She turned away from him in anger."Someone is angry" Drake taunted playfully.Nyra didn't reply to his taunts. Instead, she sat there with a pout on her lips.Drake pulled her towards him. She squeaked with surprise.He captured her lips with his own and kissed her in a punishing kiss. He laid her down on to her bed and pulled her hands above her head with one of his palms.He invaded her mouth with his tongue and kissed her until she was breathless.He trailed down towards her cheek and then her neck. He nipped at the soft flesh there and kissed away the pain.He trailed down to the swells of her breasts and nipped the skin there and marked his claim on her body.When he is satisfied he trailed up and kissed her on her lips until her lips became swollen and she became so turned on, she is dripping.Then, he let her hands go and pulled away from he
After Drake and Mason left, Nyra felt uncomfortable meeting her grandmother's eyes.Cynthia noticed that, and a warm smile formed on her face."Let's go for a walk Nyra" Cynthia invited.Nyra nodded her head and followed Cynthia out after pulling on her snickers.When Nyra used to stay with her grandmother, walking into the town and buying some groceries in their weekly routine.As they don't have a car, they walk slowly around the town walking and laughing, making the most of it."I am really very happy for you Nyra" Cynthia broke the silence after a few minutes.Nyra looked at her grandmother in shock."I thought you would be angry" Nyra confessed guiltily.Cynthia gave her a knowing smile."If you told me about Drake while we were still in the Hamilton Mansion, then yes, I would have been angry. But my opinion changed the moment that boy came for you here. And then, he explained to me everything. It's your relationship,
Anna and Nyra were chatting about everything and anything. Cynthia insisted on cooking and Betty offered to help.Betty is a gynecologist, who used to work in this town a couple of years ago. She shifted to another town for personal reasons. Now that Anna is pregnant, she came back to take care of her sister.Anna is Betty's younger sister. She is 10 years younger than Betty. They lost their parents when Anna was still a teenager. Since then, Betty has taken care of Anna until the moment she found Sean.After Anna found her Mate, Betty thought of extending her career and moved to another place. But now that Anna is expecting, she doesn't trust anyone else to take care of her sister better than her.So she came back for Anna.Betty and Cynthia are catching up with what happened in the period after Betty left the town."I can't believe Christopher did that" Betty exclaimed in shock chopping some vegetables for the salad.It's a small town, and
Nyra is struggling to understand everything Anna just revealed. Everything is too much to take in for her.Anna noticed the struggle on Nyra's face. The conflicting emotions myriad on her face confirm a suspicion that Anna has.'Nyra loves him too. But it's just that, she didn't realize it yet. If someone cares for you the way Drake Hamilton does, then it is a given that you fall for him' Anna thought."One more thing," Anna said startling Nyra.Nyra looked at Anna blankly."I noticed that you both are intimate with each other. Once mated, a dragon can only be intimate with his mate. But he is being intimate with you. That means, either his mate must be dead or she must have rejected him. The same will not apply to us, humans. It's just about loyalty and love for our mate, which will force us not to think about others" Anna said.Nyra caught one thing from what Anna just said."We can reject our mates?" Nyra asked hopefully.Anna didn'
Anna and her sister Betty left after lunch. Anna and Nyra exchanged their numbers. Cynthia too is happy to meet an old acquaintance.Cynthia and Betty decided to be in touch, now that the latter shifted to this town again.After Anna left, Nyra is on edge. She wouldn't be able to rest properly, until unless she talked to Drake about his mate situation.'If she is still in the picture, then Nyra would leave Drake permanently. She cannot be a home wreck for another woman.'But what if she is not? Then what?' Nyra hoped.'You can't be so selfish Nyra. Find out where she is. If it's possible, then help them to be together again' She decided.But then again, Anna's words rang in her head.'A dragon cannot be intimate with another woman if his mate is still in the picture' Nyra remembered.'He kisses me constantly and his hardness was evident a couple of times. If he can be intimate with me, then that means she is not in the picture' Nyra co
