CHAPTER 145 - OUR REUNION.
My heart pounded in my chest as Dravon's eyes stayed on me."Hazel," he called. Something in me leaped at the sound of my name on his tongue.I shook my head as fresh tears welled in my eyes, dripping down my jaw.I couldn't take a step forward, not after seeing him in this condition.He groaned as he staggered to his feet. My heart stopped when he began to walk towards me.But I didn't move an inch, and there he stood, only a breath away from me.My heart stopped as my eyes followed his hands until they came up to my face to wipe the tears from my cheeks.My breath caught at the feel of his hands against my skin. They should have been hot, but they weren't, they were warm, and for a moment I closed my eyes to savor it."Why did you have to do it all alone? Why?" he said.I didn't speak. I couldn't, not with the lump in my throat. I expected him to be furious, to hate me for what I'd done.My eyes stayed on him, but my hands moved upward, shaking, until they came to rest against his r
CHAPTER 144 - YOU CAN'T GO.
Dorwen fisted her hands at her sides, stepping closer. A rush of emotion moved through my chest all at once. From the look in her eyes, she was afraid."Why did you do it?" I asked.She didn't say a word, and in the blink of an eye she stood just an inch from me.My eyes flickered to Raqphael. He had a sad look on his face. I locked eyes with Dorwen again."What did you—" my voice broke before I could finish, tears rolling down my cheeks.Before I could blink, she placed her hands on either side of my head.I felt a pulse move through my skull, sinking into my mind.I felt weak, my knees buckled, and I fell.My eyes flew shut, and a rush of visions and memories flooded my mind. The women at the stall, speaking of two dragons consumed by the curse, mad with fire.Then the dream. I'd seen it. Fire, cries, wails, smoke, Dravon in his dragon form, mad with fire, burning a clan to the ground, a man in army uniform raising something to his heart.A scream tore from my throat, my hands diggi
CHAPTER 143 - THE TRUTH
I jumped down from my horse, heart pounding, moving forward just in time to see him fly over.A roar tore from his mouth when Sadrian's arrow struck home, but it didn't stop him. He just surged forward, disappearing into the night.I climbed back onto my horse, saddling into the dark.I would face the law when word of what I'd done reached the king.***HAZEL'S POVI jerked awake with the kind of force that comes from seeing something terrible, though all I could remember was screams and darkness.I tried to piece it together, and only a white patch of memory surfaced. A man standing at the center, facing someone I couldn't see, that part blocked out, like it had been wiped from my knowledge.This had something to do with Aldridge's setting.Sweat ran down my back. I got out of bed. I needed out of this room, it had grown too hot for my liking.I stepped down to pour myself a glass of water and drank it all in one go, but it still wasn't enough to settle me.My heart kept pounding as
CHAPTER 142 - ATTACK ON NAVAERRE.
NATHAN'S POVMy eyes went back to Sylthara, where she lay on the sofa. I knew she had feelings for Dravon, but no. I had to do this for the people.My eyes dropped to the gem in one hand and the blood coated knife in the other. My heart ached. I knew she wouldn't die, but she was going to hate me.I raised the knife over the tiny stone set at the neck of the gem, letting a drop of blood fall from the edge onto it.For a moment, nothing happened. I watched, impatient, until another roar tore through from the farms.My heart pounded as I turned the gem over in my hand.Maybe it was because I took the blood by force. Maybe she'd lied. The thoughts kept circling.Another roar pulled me out of the haze. I couldn't wait any longer. I grabbed my sword from where it lay, then opened a drawer full of daggers and tucked them around my boots.Another roar. I ran to the window and saw amber light. The dragon was here, close.My heart thumped hard against my chest. I knew this feeling, fear, but I
CHAPTER 141 - TAKE DOWN
The doors to my room were thrown open with more force than I'd ever used on them.My maids stared at me with wide eyes from where they stood arranging a dress my brother had brought in that afternoon and instructed I put on.I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath just to calm the storm rising in me."My lady, is anything wrong?" the head maid asked."Get out. All of you, out. I need some space," I ordered, sounding harsher than I meant to.They scurried to their feet and out, shutting the door behind them. They knew better than to come close when I was angry.I didn't wait. I got out of my night robe and rushed to my closet, pulling out one of my leather combat outfits and getting into it as fast as I could.I went for my sword at the back of the closet and slid it into its sheath.I rushed to the door that led to the balcony and turned the knob, but it was locked."Gosh, what the hell," I said.I rushed to my cupboard where the keys had always been, my shaky hands moving through the
CHAPTER 140 - DARK FEARS.
We ended up at the fountain, a short walk from the house.A pool of water flowed peacefully as it poured from the stone at the center of the mound.The sight was much more beautiful than what I'd seen from my window.My eyes went back to Raqphael.He had one knee on the ground, fixing his hook.I took a step closer."How long are we going to spend out here?" I asked."I have no idea. You could sit if you want, those flat rocks beside the river aren't decor," he said, still focused on what he was doing.I rolled my eyes and went to sit on the one closest to the riverbank.I walked over, took off my slippers, sat down carefully, and let my legs into the water. It was cold against my feet at first, but soon my skin adjusted to it.A gust of wind rushed past me. I let it wash over me, closing my eyes. The water against my feet and the wind brushing over me was overwhelming.I opened my eyes and turned to see Raqphael staring at me, trousers rolled just below the knee.He cleared his throa
