Drake could hear her rustling restlessly on her bed. With his sensitive hearing, he can hear her every small movement.
After two hours, he decided to get up and lift her up and make her sleep beside him.
He missed sleeping beside her.
So he walked barefoot and in just his pants on, he went inside her room and approached her bed.
Her eyes are closed but there is a small frown on her face and she is looking restless.
He bends down and lifted her up in bridal style, before carrying her into his room and laid her down on his bed, Where she belongs.
He laid down beside her and pulled her to him.
He covered her cold body with a thick blanket and he slept peacefully after a week.
The next morning, Nyra woke up to a warm and cozy feeling.
'Warm?' She thought with confusion.
Since she came to the fairy, she always woke up to a cold sensation. Her feet will be cold and the tips of her nose and ears would be cold as well.
Nyra could feel his presence behind her and she controlled her urge to turn around and look at him.She is confused by her reaction. She wants to feel his lips on her again. She wants to feel that pleasant sensation all over her body again.Nyra didn't know how she went and slept beside him. But he didn't seem to mind. If he did, then he would have asked her to leave the moment she laid down beside him.Instead, he covered her body with his own blanket and protectively placed his hand around her body.Everything he does with her has a sense of familiarity in it. As if he knew her.'Do I know him? Is he a part of forgotten memories? I want to remember how I know him, what kind of relationship we shareverything. I want to know everything about us ' Nyra thought with longing.Billion, the summer king is eager to meet Nyra again. As soon as he received the invitation to the summer ball, he decided to go a day earlier, in that case, it wouldn't look in
Drake led Nyra towards the huge dining table, where Alvin and Alpine are having breakfast, along with a few of their fae guests.Drake nodded his head in greeting, towards Alvin and Alpine. Who nodded their heads to greet Drake as well.It's a very subtle gesture, which didn't attract much attention. But it didn't go completely unnoticed as well.Dillion, who is silently fuming over the insult, he just endured from Drake noticed it, as well as Koni, who is also present on the dining table.Koni is nodding his head as if he is listening to whatever the Fae beside him is talking about.But his concentration is on Nyra and her new human guard. He already planned to kill Nyra today. He wants to get rid of Nyra before the fairy fire could grow and take over. It usually takes a few months after its awakening. But if the awakening of the dormant Fairy fire takes place after its host has an Anchor, or a mate or a husband in human terms, it will listen to the ma
Koni looked at the way Drake is feeding Nyra. They both are talking among themselves and Nyra looked embarrassed.'Both the humans decided to become friends?' he snorted sarcastically.'Let's see if your human friend could protect you now princess' he thought angrily.He moved the poisonous powder under the table, towards where Nyra is sitting. He didn't dare touch it.The bottle is small and is plain. It wouldn't attract anyone's attention. When he slowly moved the bottle up and besides Nyra's water glass, not even Nyra noticed it.Koni unscrewed the cap, with his fae ability and tried to pour the poison into Nyra's water glass.Shifters usually have heightened senses. Drake smelled something vile in the air, as soon as the bottle was unscrewed.He looked around the table for the source, but to his shock, something white is being poured into Nyra's glass. The bottle is in the air and it's tilting itself to empty its contents into Nyra's gla
Basil is an old fae man, who is in his early 60s. He is wise and knows every possible fae detail that it is to know.He is not rich and he never stepped foot inside the palace ever. But when he was told by the palace guards that the Winter king requested his presence, he was ecstatic.His clothes are not fancy like Koni's, but his eyes hold wisdom and kindness. He has laugh lines on the corners of his eyes and mouth.When Drake and Nyra saw him walking with his eyes calm and his face composed, despite being in the middle of the royalty."My King" Basil bowed in front of Alvin, who is now sitting on his throne on the dais, which is a raised carpeted platform.The dias has two big thrones for the king and the queen and a smaller one on to the right side a few feet away from the big thrones is the huge single-seated couch, with throw pillows, arranged for Nyra, and a matching one on the left side is placed for Alpine.Alvin sat on his Throne, with Av
Nyra liked the old fae very much. He looked wise and he is polite. She saw Drake waiting for her father's final decision.If this man knows what their previous advisor doesn't, then that itself gives Basil major brownie points in her opinion. How can anyone who works with mother earth, go wrong?"Dad?" Nyra got up from her chair and walked towards where her father is sitting.Alvin is impressed by this old peasant. But he is still skeptical about his educational background.When he heard his daughter call for his attention, he looked at her."I think you should hire him as your royal advisor. Like Drake just proved, he is knowledgeable, wise, and more importantly polite. He possesses every quality we need in a royal advisor. I think you should hire him" Nyra told Alvin.Alvin looked fondly at his daughter. Nyra is sensible and observant. He is very proud of his daughter.Dillon, who was sitting in a chair in the same throne room, snort
Koni is furious. He destroyed everything he could get his hands on. He thought no one can move him from his position. He did all this for that dragon Relic.But now that he is stripped off of his position, he cannot get his hands on that Relic that easily.Koni is standing in the middle of the small house, he bought a decade ago, for safe keeping all his personal things, which no one should see.Like the poison powder he mixed in the glass which was intended for the princess.Koni gritted his teeth remembering the insult he had to endure in the hands of that human princess and her body guard.Koni vowed vengeance on both of them."I will kill you princess. You will curse the day when you decided to follow to the fairy with your father. I will make you beg for mercy. But I will not show mercy on you. Any one who insulted koni has to die. And you will die too. I will see what that human body guard of yours will do to protect you" Koni ye
Dale and Mason approached Drake, in the throne room. He is standing a step behind Nyra and is glaring at anyone who dares to come closer to her.He hates these annoying nosy Fae. He can hear them whispering nonsense for the past 3 hours.'He is so handsome. I saw when he removed his mask when he was invited to eat on the royal table. He seems to be some one important' a woman was saying to a group of newly arrived fae woman.Now they all are looking at him as if he is a piece of meat, which is ready to be served.That's why Drake hated woman. They all act as a flock of annoying birds, who keep chirping and making annoying noises.Nyra is different though. She never went out of her way to please him. Infact, she is the first woman who was annoyed by his presence.She managed to capture his attention and then his heart. He is glad she turned out to be his mate."If you glare at them any harder, then I am sure you might burn them" Mason said fr
Drake found Nyra's handmaiden standing outside the door with Nyra's dinner. He was about to go , but then, he remembered that mornings incident.'Some one tried to poison Nyra. It's better to taste everything first before taking to her' with that thought in mind, he opened the dome that's covering the steaming food and proceeded to taste everything.No one said anything in protest. They all believe in Drake and they know he has her best interest in mind.After taking a bite from every single item, Drake even sipped the water."Serve the princess after five minutes" he instructed the handmaiden, who nodded her head.It should be enough for the poison to show its effects, if the food is poisoned, Drake thought.He nodded his head towards the four guards guarding the door and they nodded their heads back.He then proceeded in to the armoury, where Dale, Mason and Alpine are waiting for him.When Lily entered the room, Nyra hoped that it's
