“I’m defending you, Velca. That human
you are looking at sleeps with Draken, and will be queen. It was
your birthright, and she comes and steals it.”

“You shouldn’t have done this! Prince
Draken is going to kill us all! You sentenced us all to death!” She
turns and looks at me. “I’m sorry, I do not hate you. I had nothing
to do with this. Do you believe me?” I say nothing, still
mesmerized by her beauty.

“I believe you. Tell your mother this
is not the way, I will let you have him,” I say, whispering very
low.

“Human, I can still hear you, and
nothing will stop me. Velca, do you know your father is being held?
You want me to let her go? Even knowing it’s her fault?”

“Yes,” Velca says, hurt. “Father
should not have gone, none of you. My brothers will die because of
your coldness, this-” Velca closes her eyes and takes a deep
breath. “Prince Draken made his choice, I respect it, I may be
hurt, but I do not believe in violence. I want her released now.
He’s coming, Mother, and he will destroy everyone, including me. Is
that what you want? Release her, and maybe we can save the land
that you sealed with death, already.”

I feel a burning inside me, I hear his
voice again. “Princess, use the ring, speak to it.” I raise my hand
to my mouth and say, “Help,” to the ring. Nothing happens. I can
hear Velca and her mother facing off. The people start yelling at
me again, and tears start to roll down my cheeks. I’m so scared.
Tears begin to drip onto my ring, and I feel it shifting on my
finger. The dragon on my ring begins to expand and I want to run,
but the wings grow and start shielding my body. I hear Velca’s
mother scream, and she shoots fire at me, but I’m completely
covered now. I can see out, and the flames she shoots are bouncing
off. Thank God. Please hurry, Draken, this woman is trying to burn
me alive. I hear the growl and it’s close, really close. That’s
when I start hearing screams and cries. I look up and see a dragon
hand ripping the roof off. It’s purple, it’s Draken, yes! Velca
falls to the ground. I see a green and greenish-blue dragon flying
overhead. Draken is burning everything he sees, and the others are
turning into dragons as he fights. Oh God, he leans his head in and
rips apart the man who dragged me. I feel something warm going down
my legs, shit, I’ve peed on myself. I’ve just seen Draken rip
someone into pieces. Draken reaches for Velca, and I start
yelling.

“Nooo, Draken! Don’t, she is innocent,
please noooo!” I yell, trying to get his attention. He turns and
looks at me, growling, and fire comes out of his mouth, blowing
over me. It blows out the wall behind me, and people are on fire.
He’s burning them before they can change. I don’t want Velca dead,
she tried to help me, and the least I can do is try to save her,
too. Her mother has changed into a dragon and is flying into the
air, I suppose to fight. Draken sets Velca down. She runs over to
me.

“Can you hear me?” I ask.

“Yes,” she says, crying. “Thank you,
thank you for saving me.” We both look up as the green and the
other greenish-blue dragon rip Velca’s mother apart, burning her in
the air. I look at Velca, who has tears and pain in her eyes. I
feel bad for her. She lost the man she was supposed to marry, and
now both her parents are gone. Draken walks in. He must have
changed back to human form. He walks right up to Velca and pulls
her to her feet, looking stern.

“Why does Princess feel you should be
spared?” Draken asks. I see her arm is blistering from a
burn.

“I . . . Prince Draken, I promise.”
She winces from the pain. His nails are digging into her flesh. “I
didn’t know until my servant came and said my mother had done a
terrible thing. I would never be a part of this.” He glares, walks
over to me and waves his hand, and the wings begin to get smaller.
They finally goes back into place and my ring is my ring
again.

“Draken, I was so scared,” I say,
curling into his chest for protection. “She’s telling you the
truth, Draken, she didn’t know, she tried to help me.” He stares at
her and turns his head as Layern, Gemi and Domlen walk in with four
men.

“These are your brothers?” He turns to
Velca and asks. His face is cold, his eyes bright and glaring.
Shit, he looks scary.

“They came to my castle to help your
mother, right?”

“Yes, Prince Draken,” she
says.

“Then they will die tonight.” He sets
one on fire instantly. I scream, and darkness finds me.

Draken, Draken.” I’m back
in bed, and he is wrapped around me. Oh, thank God, it was a dream,
a terrible nightmare. I begin to touch his face gently as he
sleeps. Finding my hands exploring his face, lips, chin, rubbing
his facial hair, I love him so much. I lean over to kiss him, and
he flips me onto my back and smiles.

“Good morning, Princess. I see you are
doing much better. I’m so happy you are, I thought you would never
stop screaming.” He leans down and starts planting kisses on my
neck and cheeks.

“Screaming?” What is he talking about?
Could I have been screaming in my nightmare?

“Princess, stop frowning. You know
when you’d seen my dragon in full rage you were pretty scared,” he
says, kissing me. I can’t move. It was real. The kidnapping, the
dragons fighting, it wasn’t a dream?

“Draken, umm, I thought it was a
dream. I . . . I, that really happened, all of it?”

He says, tilting his head, “Are you
frightened of me?”

“Draken, that is not . . . I was
frightened. I’m not sure if I was frightened of you,” I say,
looking down.

“You are in bed with me, your breasts
are on my chest, your legs around my waist.” He looks down and
smells me. “You smell of need for me,” he says, annoyed. “Never be
afraid of the one you want, love, Princess. I killed last night,
and will do it again if anyone dares to try to harm you. I’m a
dragon first and a man second. The beast in me will always protect
you, and we will both love you.” He is still holding his body over
me, waiting for my response. I love him and his dragon. He came for
me and made sure I was safe. I lift my hands and pull his shoulders
towards me.

“I’m sorry, Draken, I love you and
your dragon, I was just scared. I’ve never seen anything like that,
but I know what you are, and I called for you because I knew you
would come. I’m sorry if I seem, umm, ungrateful. Will you make
love to me now? I need your touch. Oh, wait! I peed on myself, I
need to shower,” I say, trying to come out of his hold.

“I bathed you, Princess, you are mine,
I knew what happened when it happened. I cleaned you when we came
home. I must say, I would like to do that again, but when you are
fully awake.” He smiles and leans down, pushing his tongue into my
mouth, rocking his body over me, teasing me with his sex over mine.
I feel it slide up and down me. My body needs him now.

“Princess, you want it, you grab it
and place it inside you, for I’m yours, too,” he says, licking his
lips. I find myself warm all over. I reach out and grab his sex and
give it a good squeeze that causes him to moan out loud. I place it
right at my entrance, and my body jumps toward him.

“Push me in, Princess, I love your
hands on me,” he says. “It’s the best feeling ever, your hands on
me.” Those words make my body respond. I slide him in and feel my
body stretching to accept him. I moan. “Ohhhhh.”

“I love you, Princess, I’ll always
protect you, now enjoy,” he says, and I’m lost in him, going places
with my body that I didn’t know existed. He’s reminding me how
important I am to him, and how he will always kill for me, forever.
I rub my hands down his strong back and enjoy, like he
said.

 

***

 

We eat a tray of cheese, fruit and
wine. He gives me butterflies just looking at him. Will I ever get
over this feeling? I hope not, but I need to say thank you to the
others.

“Draken, I have to say thank you to
the others. You even said during our bath today that Beauka came,
the one you said is dangerous, she came for me, too. I have to say
thank you. Can you arrange that, please?” I ask. He looks at me
lustfully.

“Yes, I can arrange that. I just want
to say, you are truly one of a kind. I do need to know what you
want me to do with Velca. You saved her and didn’t tell me what to
do.” Oh, his other ex-soon-to-be-wife.

“I don’ t know. Let her live, of
course. She saved my life, and she deserves to live and find love
one day. I hope. I’m not ready to become BFF’s with her, but can
you make sure she has a place to live?” I ask. He fills his mouth
with fruit and cheese. I just stare at how, even like this, he
looks sexy as hell.

“Okay, Princess, anything for you. I
will make sure you get your chance to speak to your family,” he
says, smiling. “Let’s get dressed. If you open the door on your
side of the bed, I had a closet put in for you, I should say Beauka
requested you have one. She and my mother stocked it for you
already.” He climbs out of bed and goes to a hidden wall. He
touches it and it opens, revealing a cupboard. “Princess, go dress,
before I come and attack you again.” I smile and go to the purple
and gold door. I open it slowly, not knowing what to expect. I see
dresses and a wall of jewels, bracelets, necklaces, no pants or
shorts or t-shirts. I’m going to have to talk with Draken about
this. There are no shoes, either. Draken comes up behind me,
wrapping his arms around me.

“I like you in dresses, besides, they
have benefits, now hurry. I have already sent word that everyone is
to gather in the family hall,” he says, pulling away. I walk in,
pull out the first dress I see and put it on. It has a built-in
bra. Laughing to myself, I think Draken is going to attack me all
the time. I walk out and we head to the family space he is talking
about. This place is huge. We are silent as we walk, and I embrace
that silence. I have a chance really to enjoy the sights. The
windows are huge, some with glass, some without. Everything is
elegant and beautiful. Jewels are on everything. We finally make it
to the family space, I think that’s the name. I see everyone in
there, they are laughing, and eating, of course, and music is
playing. I walk in and everyone is smiling at me, giving me nods of
joy.

“Everyone, I gathered you all together
because Princess has something to say to you all,” Draken says,
commanding silence. He and his father exchange a nod, and his
mother blows him a kiss. He turns and places a kiss on my forehead,
and then he joins his brothers. Now they are all staring at me,
shit. “You have the floor.”

“Well, I, wow, you are all here. I
would like to say thank you for saving me, for leaving your land to
come and rescue me from that crazy dragon lady. I would like you
all to know that I’m so grateful for each and every one of you.” I
turn and look at Beauka. “Thank you, Beauka, for coming. Also,
Draken told me how you have never done anything like that before,
and I would like you to know you are awesome, and I look forward to
being your sister. I’m going to need a girl to talk with among all
these guys.” I smile, and everyone is smiling, and then all this
clapping starts and cheers and roars, Draken comes up and kisses my
cheek.

“You are amazing, Princess. You know
you didn’t have to thank them. They promised to protect you and
that is what they did. Your heart is so good, you gave Velca mercy
when I would have killed her, you just made my sister feel great,
and she is not easy. I love you, Princess.”

“I love you too, Prince Draken,” I
say, laughing.

“Oh, so now you call me Prince Draken,
no, I’m always just Draken to you, never your prince. Even in the
future when I’m king, I’m Draken to you,” he says, making me warm
and causing me to feel butterflies again. We need to get back to my
family so we can start this wedding planning, as I’m sure my mother
is going out of her mind trying to come up with ideas.

“Draken, we need to go back, so I can
start planning the wedding with my other family,” I say, gauging
his response.

He takes a deep breath. “Yes, we do, I
will arrange for us to leave this evening. Do you have a day in
mind?”

“Well it’s June
10
th
today. My mom will need a month, so July
11
th
,
is that okay?” I say, blushing. I’m not sure why I’m even blushing,
maybe it’s Draken and his sexiness.

“Yes that will be perfect, Princess;
your eyes will change back to brown when we get back to earth. I
don’t like that, but I will get over it. I know this means a lot to
you. Let’s go get ready. My brothers will prepare for the portal
for you,” he says. “After I inform the family of going back to
earth to prepare for the wedding, we will return for our ceremony
here.” I can’t wait to see D. I miss him so much.

 

 

DRAKEN

I wish two weddings were not
necessary, but I will adjust. Showken, Layern and Hawken will come
with us right now, and the others will join us closer to the
wedding. I look at Princess as we sit in the garden, waiting for
Showken and Hawken to show up. Layern is already with us. Finally,
they come walking up.
