What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

My mother was still breathing.

It was in fact the first time that I had really been worried about her wellbeing.

” Mother! Are you alright? ”

I knew she wasn’t.

She had scalding marks all over her and so did the other guys. My mother’s boys. Her personal army. They were the highest paid bodyguards. But they were all lying on the ground. None moved a limb.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

” Yes, that’s the place! ” I was about to hang up from my call to the police and ambulance, when my mother clasped at my feet.

She could hardly open her eyes.

” Liana… ”

Her voice faint and weak. Barely audible. So I went closer to her face.

” I am right here. Don’t worry. Will get you to the hospital, the ambu… ”

” Liana… Damian. She took him! ”

There was worry in her eyes. Not for herself or her boys but my Damian.

Draco was standing a few feets away.

The moment his ear caught Damian’s name, he darted at us like Flash.

My mother seemed unbothered.

She lifted her arm to hold Draco’s hand.

And to my surprise he even gave it without a single word.

” I hope you understand that everything I did was due to parental worry… ”

Was that an apology? Was she saying sorry to Draco in her way.

” I don’t care about the past. Did you see the one who took Damian? Was it not this bastard? ”

Draco asked pointing at the rubble outside.

My mother shool her head.

“He gave him to a woman. ”

Draco and I exchanged a glance.

” Can you describe her a little bit for us? ”

Draco held my mother carefully to give her support.

My mother nodded and went ahead describing the woman’s attire.

It was definitely someone from the Dragon Realm.

This Marcus had a branched out network.

I knew Draco was regretting killing him from the dejected look on his face as he stared at the rubble. He was wishing hard to bring him back. Bring him back so he could beat his a*s into a pulp and make him confess.

” We will need to get back to the Dragon Realm! ”

he suddenly told me, in front of my mother, in a matter of fact.

What was strange was my mother’s reaction.

She held Draco’s hand tighter.

” Take care of my daughter! ”

It was an embarrassing face palm moment for me. Did she think I was in nursery?

Then she turned towards me,

” When you find Damian, tell him I miss him! ”

What was with this level of change of heart.

Quite extraordinary. Guess I will never know what these two had.

Draco hijacked me straight to his kingdom from the hospital.

We landed in the palace corridor when we entered the Dragon Realm.

The moment we landed, Draco abandoned me and disappeared.

That part of the palace, I didn’t know well.

I was walking here and there to find someone to ask for direction when I heard Lucian.

I entered the huge, gigantic, magnificent hall.

It was straight out of a fantasy tale. More brilliant than any other structure I had witnessed in the kingdom.

And them there was the sorry state of Lucian. That was an unique sight as well.

I just wanted to comfort him. He seemed down and distraught . But just then Draco had to barge in.

He looks horrendous.

He was back to his old self. Arrogant impolite and rude.

But I didn’t have room for his naive questions.

I went straight to business.

The reason I was here. Damian.

Things went southwards the moment I took Damian’s name which was highly unexpected.

He took me back in the blink of an eye to the harem.

Threw me on the couch.

I should have been used to this behavior by now, but I wasn’t.

” Draco stop! I just… ”

” What the hell do you think you were doing? ”

” Huh? ”

” How could you dare to divulge Damian’s secret in front of Lucian? ”

His question made me wonder.

” Damian’s secret? You mean that he is missing? Sooner or later people will know that… besides Lucian is your family, what’s wrong… ”

” You don’t decide what’s wrong or right human. That’s my call. You are in my kingdom”

That was twice, consecutively, that he reminded me about my humanity and subordination in front of him.

” Besides, no one is outside of my suspicion at the moment! The closer a person is to me the more deadly! It was someone from my inner circle who poisoned my pregnant wife. I could not hope for anything less from those bastards! ”

His words suddenly made my heart beat fall.

Why was a being like that hearing him say ‘ pregnant wife’? I knew he was married. I knew he had a wife. I knew Damian was their child.

Nothing was hidden or new.

” Where did you vanish when we arrived? ”

Why I asked that question again I had no idea.

” To check Damian’s lantern of life! ”

I had completely forgotten about it. He had rushed to check if Damian was alive and from his behavior and expression, my Damian was fine. Atleast breathing.

” So what are you planning to say when everyone around starts asking for Damian’s whereabouts? ”

He did not answer me.

He stretched his right hand out and looked at the empty bed.

A blue light started emitting from his fingers. It gathered into a tiny humanoid shape, made of light, clustered.

As Draco kept moving his fingers the light slowly took the shape of a naked baby. My Damian.

I looked at him, shocked.

” Keep him here. Don’t let anybody go near him. He is just made of light. We can spread a rumor about him being sick. Perhaps a contagious illness that he brought back from human kind. ”

I frowned.

” That will buy us enough time to track down the culprits. I hope you will be able to do your part well! ‘

I wasn’t here to serve this bossy king.

” Anything for my Damian! ‘

I said and went around to the bed, to watch the Damian made of light playing.
