What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga
Chapter 57 - Liana's POV (Mating Rituals)

"LI-A- NAAAAAA!"

I remembered those voices which were whispering in my ears again.

The redness in my vision had intensified. Things around were more vivid this time. The rocks and boulders, the sound of the waterfall. Everything was more clear as I walked further and further inside. My eyes are desperately searching for my Damian.

"Liana! "

This time the voice was right behind my back. Startled, I almost fell in front.

Something held me back.

It was cold and chilly.

I turned my head real slow. I was expecting some vile figure or a vicious creature with its fangs out at me.

Instead I looked at a figure resembling the Hooded Lady. The only difference was that, this was a male. "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

I think he smirked.

"I know more than your name Liana. Come with me. I believe you are looking for a dragon named Damian! "

He effectively dodged the part where I asked him about himself. Instead he showed me towards a very big entrance. I was contemplating whether or not to enter that place behind him. I suddenly felt a push from the back. Not a physical one. Like a gust of wind or something like that.

It felt like the entire Dragon Realm was spread out in front of me like a small map.

Tiny lights shining all over the map. Like fireflies. Moving and flickering.

"This is the Dragon World Liana. Those are the Lanterns of their Life, spread over their world."

I understood exactly what the Hooded figure wanted me to do.

I was supposed to look for Damian's light.

"Why are there lights that have different hues?"

I asked.

"Dragons have the brightest yellow light when they are the strongest. Their shades and hues change with their age or physical condition."

Suddenly I noticed a very tiny light flicker in the outskirts. It was more green than yellow. Before I could wonder about that, my eyes fell on the light just beside it.

I had seen Damian's light. There was no way I could be mistaken. His light had a warmth that talked directly to my heart.

"There... There he is... "

Before these words could properly come out of my mouth, the entire environment around me shifted.

I saw the greenish light devour Damian's light.

And when I turned towards the Hooded figure for an explanation of what I just saw, he was gone.

In his place was standing Draco to my utter confusion.

"Did you... Did you just see what this greenish light did to Damian? We need to hurry right now Draco. Damian's life is in danger! "

Draco looked at me with no expression.

"Damian is no more!"

He announced like a mechanical doll.

"Liana, my queen is gone. But you are there. I will lose my entire kingdom if this news comes out."

Damian was gone? What did he mean by that? What was he blabbering about?

"I am sorry Liana!"

Before I could react he threw a pair of cuffs at my hand.

They bit at my wrists and then attached themselves to the wall in front.

I was pulled a few feet from the place and was hanging above the ground. Totally by my hands.

It was hurting but not as much as my chest.

It was beating at an odd pace with bitter pain. My mind was still trying to process everything that was happening. Trying to add up this scenario with the crocodile tears that Draco had shed before sending me in here. He started undressing as I watched.

"Since I no longer have a wife, you are the only one who came to give me another heir. You have been a great servant. Loyal and filial. I will make sure you have every chance of surviving the childbirth. I have full knowledge how harrowing the experience is for human maids."

He was now naked.

Draco, the Dragon Lord, was standing in front of me with nothing on himself. But it was nothing like back on earth. Not the man, to whom I lost my first time.

He slowly walked towards me as another chain flew towards us from nowhere.

It clipped itself exactly at my lower abdomen. Just above my bikini line to be precise.

The other end was at Draco's hip.

"Do not be scared. We can now begin. We are inside the mating circle. Neither of us can get out until the process is complete. "

I crossed my legs with a jolt and tried to twist my way out of his reach.

"There is no point in trying to deny me Liana. You have no power against me. No authority!"

"

'I thought you loved Damian!"

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!

I barked at him so loud that I almost spit.

Enough of running away. It was time to face the demon itself.

"So what if I did?"

He kept walking with a slow but steady pace towards me.

"So what? Does his death not mean anything to you? Doesn't his not being around make you feel like your world is now gone? He was your blood. Your only child. How can one be so cruel towards their own offspring!" I scoffed.

I was trying to position my legs in such a way that I would be able to make the maximum impact at his balls with my kick. It works on human perverts on the streets.

It would be my honor testing the theory on this scumbag of a dragon specimen.

I needed to end my life with some meaning.

I closed my eyes which I realized I hadn't done since I was seeing things in infrared, except for the lights of course.

It felt so good to finally be able to blink.

"Liana! Liana, where are you!"

It was Draco's voice.

My eyes flung open.

The man in his nakedness walking towards me was definitely him.

Who then was whispering just now into my consciousness?

And if that was the real Draco, the graver question was, who was this thing in front of, with whom I was chained to in a hideous, obscure, ancient mating ritual?
