(Vera) Arax stared at me for a second before he nodded, his head making these quick bobbing movements. I bared my teeth at him and he shrunk back into the chair."Vera, love, you are scaring him. He is a dumb idiot, and he has seen the error of his ways," Mateo said as he sighed. "Don't make her mad anymore, Arax."Arax nodded quickly."But he almost killed me. He needs to stop being a dumb idiot.""I am sorry. Tyrell told me you are the one who killed Thalia and I lost it. She is- she was my sister and-""Tyrell this, Tyrell that. It makes me even angrier," I said. "I think he is the one who killed your sister. He definitely knew her before all of this. Did he tell you that he met her in Zarique?"Arax's face paled and a small growl left his lips."No. I don't. He told she was like a sister to him and... I will kill that bastard.""No, you are NOT killing him. Not yet, okay?" I frowned at Arax."He told me so many lies and like an idiot, I believed it.""Yes, he lies. He always does

(Vera) Shade and I flew to Ayerie woods and Shade took off to the Palace. "You know, I love riding you, Shadey," I whispered as I got off from him and he licked a long path down my neck, and gave me a salacious look that made me laugh. "Oh, stop flirting and shift already." The dragon bumped softly against my shoulder. I caressed his emerald body and his golden scales before motioning him to shift. He shifted quickly and Mateo pulled me to him. I smiled up at him and he shook his head. "Do not flirt with my dragon. You are mine," he whispered as he gripped my hips pulling me towards him. I pressed myself against him and dug my fingers into his ass, teasingly wiggling against him, making him groan out loud. "Oh, Prince, you are bad. You know I am yours and his, too, and I like it that way," I teased as I dragged my nails down his back, making him groan. I could already feel him getting harder. Damn. This man was insatiable. "And this isn't the place, you horny prince. Go and wear s

(Vera)MY MOTHER WAS MURDERED.Everything inside me shook. I had a slight doubt about that, but now I was sure of that. Yes, Tyrell looked more destroyed than my mother, and it was very clear it was poison in his case, but I could see the subtle similarities. They must have improved their poison to make it work instantly.My heart twisted in anger and vengeance. I wanted blood on my hand. I wanted to swallow all of them whole until this cavernous hunger in me was satiated. I had never been so angry in my life. I am a part of this plan from the very beginning. In fact, this started eight years ago, the day my mom died — no, murdered — and it was put into motion when I stole the Eye of Sabius five years ago.”There was silence, a big, tensed silence, until all the words were sealed behind the lips and the air smelled like burned hopes and dreams. I had always thought I was a girl who lived according to her own rules. What a big fucking lie that was!I cleared my throat as Mateos’s palm

(Vera) Shade and Nova spent a lot of time, a lot, making love, confessing, talking. I felt like a freaking pervert watching them, but I couldn't stop."That is how I feel, watching you all the time.""But you are a pervert, Nova, and I am not," I said with a teasing laugh and she growled at me. "So, Shade said we will do the ceremony tonight. Are you okay with that?""Of course. It is yours, and you do what you want to do. I am just happy you are back, Nova. So damn happy!" "You are sweaty, and dirty," Mateo said to me as he grabbed me by my hips, pulling me to him. I snuggled closer to his body, smiling as I did."It is the dragons," I hissed as I stared at the way the water cascaded down, before merging into the pool. Sunlight scattered off the water, making beautiful prisms around. Everything here was magic, pure and unsullied, and I wished we didn't have to go out to the real world. "Damn... they are-""You look too hot. This will, maybe, cool you off," he said with a twinkle in

(Vera) The woman had walked away, but I couldn't stop myself from following her with my eyes. Something about her was odd, and I didn't like the feeling in my stomach. I felt nervous and agitated, and Nova was too. I could feel her restlessness."Where did I see that serpent ring, Nova?" I thought and my dragon shook her head, looking frustrated."I have no idea. You must have seen it when I was gone, or when I was not there."I shook my head as I watched the woman talking with the queen. Her expressions were sweet and sugary, but her eyes- the look in them was so wrong. Mateo walked towards me with a glass of Elven Snow Gin. "You want something?""That was what you were drinking when I first met you," I whispered as I grabbed the glass from him and took a quick sip."I blame it for my actions.""No. You would have done everything you had done that night even if you were not drinking," I said with a teasing look in his direction and then I was distracted by a loud laughter. The woman
