What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

My head banged against a wall. I opened my eyes. It hurt.

I didn’t know what it hurt more from. The heats of anger building inside it or the tears welling up.

” Let me go. ”

I yelled. It felt really demeaning to get bullied in this way.

” What do you think you are? ”

Lucian’s face was right over mine. The purple of his iris was bright violet at this time.

” What do you mean? What have I done? ”

It was obvious that he was angry at something but I didn’t know what it was that I did.

” How dare you touch my Lantern of Life, in the middle of the night, like this? NOBODY. Nobody except her, had I given this privilege to. Not even the one that guards those Lanterns. ”

The beating of his heavy chest again my already sore body was making me discomfort.

” I didn’t know which one was yours? The room shook suddenly. I must have touched it by mistake. I am sorry. But you can not treat me like you just did. ”

I never hesitated to voice my opinion. Nor was I going to compromise here.

He let go of me.

I was pleasantly surprised. Did my words have an affect on him.

I lifted my hands to stretch myself to release the stress and pain when he suddenly asked,

” What were you doing in the Lantern Corridor? ”

” It was a coincidence. I was running away from the garden because I was bored. I thought I could climb down but didn’t know it was midair. So I was falling and falling when suddenly the Hooded Lantern Lady caught me and stopped my fall. ”

I included all the details as I stretched then realised I had said too much.

” Please don’t mention this to Draco. He would be mad.”

Strangely, Lucian scoffed.

” He has bigger headaches at the moment. ”

He walked slowly towards the open garden door.

He touched the entrance and looked at it.

” He had shut it after she was gone.

When was this opened? ”

I understood that Lucian must be referring to Kiara, Draco’s dead wife.

” Only recently, because of Damian. ”

I sat on my bed, not particularly looking at Lucian.

It must have been awhile.

He walked upto me. Then suddenly pulled my head towards him.

” Ouch! ”

It hurt where my head had hit the wall. It was still throbbing.

” I shouldn’t have bumped you so hard. I keep forgetting that you are only a human. ”

He walked towards the shelves. Pulled a couple of drawers. He was looking for something.

” Here. Put this on. It will help with the swelling. ” He gave me a glass jar. It looked like some kind of ointment.

” Thank you. ” I was really thankful that he gave me something for the wound without licking it like an animal like Draco did everytime.

He came and sat beside me.

” Did I wake you up when I touched that Lantern? ”

I asked wondering if he was mad because I disturbed his sleep.

He shook his head.

” We don’t need sleep like humans do. We nap or just take some rest. ”

Yeah! I had forgotten.

” Liana. Can I ask you something? ”

I nodded.

” Don’t you miss home? I mean why do you agree to stay here locked up all day? We did say you were bored and wanted to escape. You can tell that to Draco. He can’t keep you by force locked up here. ”

He had a point. Why did I agree? Was it only for Damian? It wasn’t like I didn’t miss home but it was like I didn’t feel like going.

” I can take you back right now if you want. Draco won’t be coming back for awhile. ”

Lucian said.

” Why so? ”

I casually asked not expecting any answer in particular.

” Didn’t the Lady tell you what the shaking of the Lantern Corridor was about? ”

” Yeah. She said someone’s life was at risk. Someone important. ”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

No sooner had the words left my mouth when reality struck. It was Draco whose life was in danger. The flicker I had seen in his Lantern was the definite sign.

” What happened to him? ”

I asked immediately standing up. My heart crunching with a strange force.

” He is at the border. Fighting. He must have encountered some severe injuries. ”

Lucian watched me as he nonchalantly said.

” No!”

I suddenly felt like I was having trouble breathing. I didn’t know why I was feeling that way.

” How bad are his injuries? Why don’t you run to his side? ”

Lucian’s forehead frowned.

” He is the Dragon Lord. Injuries like these are common in battles. He has had a lot like them.

Why are you so worked up? It’s not like he is dying for anything. ”

” The Hooded Lady said life threatening. That means it has a risk on his life.

Can you take me there? ”

I couldn’t believe what I just asked of him.

He too couldn’t seem to have believed what I just said.

The purse on his lip suddenly changed into a smile that changed into a gradual laughter.

“You!

You want to go to the Dragon’s battle ground?

Do you have a death wish or are you insane? ” He was still laughing.

” And here I was asking if you wanted to use this opportunity to get back home.

I thought you must not like to be kept as a sex slave. I thought you must have higher standards.

Guess I was wrong after all.

He must be screwing you really well.

You even seem to be worried about his well being. ”

I lost it. The anger that had subsided, erupted with double effect.

“How dare you?

How dare you bad mouth me or your brother?

He has never touched me like your dirty hands had tried. Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself. ”

My hand blew a sharp slap around his sculpted face. Infringed.

He stopped laughing. He smirked. As if he was expecting this. As if he had got what he wanted.

Lucian looked at me and repeated,

” He hasn’t yet touched you, yet he has been going about claiming you as his mate. That hypocrite. What trick does he now have up his sleeve! ”

Crap!

I just realised what I had done. Draco had warned me about exposing the reality of our relationship outside the bedroom. I realised that I had just beaten that purpose.

I strangely felt like I had betrayed him from the inside.
