I wept in Elvey’s arms.

I’d hoped that we’d have more time, but time was running out. I needed to wake Elvey and say goodbye.

He would have to stay here and continue to fight. He would take care of our people as their king.

As I waited for the scales to appear on my body, dreading the excruciating pain that was about to tear through me, I pressed my palm against Elvey’s face. His stubble pricked against the heel of my palm. The delicious sensation only made my heart burst with grief and regret.

Elvey leaned to my touch, opened his eyes, and smiled at me.

“Elvey,” I choked out.

The dragon princes had betrayed me. They’d lost to me completely. They were fucking my enemy now, but I still needed to do one more thing. I needed to stop them from finishing it, not for my sake, but for theirs.

Once they finished the deed, they’d belong to her. She’d enslave them. It’d be worse than their masks clinging to their faces. They’d never be free.

I would be turned to three mindless Fury beasts. I would even lose my soul to stop the Challenge before the game was over. So be it. At least their souls would be spared. There was no need for them to go down with me, even though they had been the ones to deliver the final blow.

“I’m sorry, my love.” I brushed a kiss on my husband’s lips. “I need you to be strong. I need you to live well and continue on without me. Promise me.”

He had to lose me again, and forever this time.

“I’ll never go on without you,” he said quietly. “The whole universe can rot and burn for all I care. I’ll live and perish with you. But I promise you, I’ll keep you safe.”

“They’re fucking her.” I sobbed as I rushed off bed, grabbed my robe and pulled it on. “I need to stop them. They’re naïve to think that bonding to her will benefit them. They need to know who she is and what will become of them if they give themselves to her. I’m ending the Challenge now.”

And I would suffer any dire consequences.

Elvey grabbed my arm and stopped my running. “Let them play it out. Give them a bit more time.”

I widened my eyes. “Elvey, you don’t understand. They’re heading to the worst fate ever, and I’m running out of time.”

I shrugged him off with a burst of strength and charged out of the suite.

“Your Majesties, what’s happening?” Zembyr called as he chased after me.

Elvey caught up with me first while our royal guards followed in a tight formation, their swords drawn.

“Daisy, stop!” Elvey pulled me into his arms tightly despite my struggling and whispered in my ear. “I know exactly what’s happening. This has been our plan—mine and your other mates’—all along. We planned it behind your back. Now we need to return to our chamber and wait. We can’t ruin the last and most important step.”

My eyes burned with confusion and rage. “But they’re screwing her.”

Elvey only smiled down at me. “I know. And that’s beauty of it.”

What?

Fury coursed through my veins, and Elvey slanted his mouth over mine.

“Trust me, beloved,” he said against my lips before pulling away.

Blaze the Fire Dragon

We got her. We got that fucking viper!

When Iokul thrust into her between her thighs, Tianna rolled her eyes to the back and moaned in pleasure, which was disgusting and disturbing at the same time.

But in reality, we never touched her.
