Chapter 111.Draco’s POV- Back to her world
I knew that I shouldn’t be here, but I couldn’t resist the pull of the woman I loved.
I failed to find her in the Netherworlds. I failed to find her soul there. Would it be possible to find it here?
I was back in the human world. The place where the memories of our time together were too strong. This was the place where we had shared so many moments together, where we had laughed and cried, and where we had fallen in love. Now, it was just a shell of what it once was, a place filled with memories that haunted me.
I found myself walking towards the house we had shared, her house. As I approached the door, I hesitated. Would I find her things still there? Would I be able to handle seeing them again? But I knew that I had to try. I pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The first thing I noticed was the silence. The place was still, devoid of the sounds of her laughter and her voice. I walked slowly through the rooms, taking in everything that was there. Her clothes still hung in the closet, her books still lined the shelves, and her scent still lingered in the air.
I found myself drawn to her favorite chair, the one where she used to sit and read. I sank down into it and closed my eyes, letting the memories wash over me. The sound of her voice reading aloud, the feel of her hand in mine, the warmth of her smile. It was all still so vivid, as if she was still there with me.
But then, the reality hit me. She was gone, and nothing would ever bring her back. The sadness overwhelmed me, and I found myself singing sad poems in her remembrance. I sang of our love, of our time together, and of the pain of losing her.
I picked up a photo of us from the table beside me, and I looked at it with tears in my eyes. “I miss you,” I whispered to her. “I’ll always love you.”
I sat in Liana’s house, surrounded by her things. It was a painful reminder of what I had lost. My mind drifted to the day she died. The day I had failed her.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open and Lucian, stormed in. His tone was mocking as I expected. I was kind of expecting him but not so soon.
“Well, well, well, look who we have here. It’s our Draco, the mighty Dragon King who couldn’t even find his own mate,” Lucian said with a smirk.
I glared at him, clenching my jaw tightly. “What do you want, Lucian? I am not in the right mood at the moment.” I asked through gritted teeth.
“I just came to check on you, brother. I heard you’ve been holed up in here, wallowing in self pity at your second failure. I heard you came back empty handed once again. I heard you failed yet again,” he said with a chuckle.
I stood up, my anger piling up. “You have no right to talk about that. You don’t understand what I’ve been through,” I shouted at him.
Lucian’s eyes narrowed, and he took a step towards me. “Oh, I understand perfectly. You failed her, Draco. Not once, but twice. You couldn’t save her before, and you couldn’t save her soul as well.”
I clenched my fists, feeling the fire within me start to build up. “Shut up, Lucian. You don’t know anything,” I spat at him.
Lucian chuckled. “Oh, I know more than you think. I know she would be still living if you didn’t find your way into her pants. ”
I lunged at him, my claws bared. “You take that back!” I roared.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Lucian dodged my attack easily, his own claws coming out. “Make me,” he taunted.
The two of us clashed, our roars echoing through the walls of the house. We tore through the furniture, breaking everything in our path. I was fueled by rage and grief, while Lucian fought with his arrogance.
*** We circled each other, snarling and snapping. Finally, Lucian made a fatal mistake. He left himself open for just a moment, and I took advantage of it. I lunged forward, sinking my teeth into his throat.
Lucian let out a gurgled scream as I ripped out his throat. His body went limp in my jaws, and I tossed him aside like a ragdoll. I stood there, panting and covered in blood, as I looked down at my dead brother.*** (in my thoughts)
” What are you thinking about? Come fight me if you really can? Or are you as incapable of this, as you were in bringing her back?
You had the perfect opportunity yet you came back empty handed. ”
Lucian snapped right at me. His words pulled me out of that blood rage, which over shadowed my better judgements for one moment.
I had come straight to the human world from the Netherworlds. I didn’t go to the Royal Infirmary to take the potions. Perhaps the evil energies from the Netherworlds was still clouding my conscience.
” Lucian, this really is not the right time. If you know of any way to bring her back, please tell me. I beg you Lucian, don’t mock me like this. Your words are like salt to my wounds. You are my brother after all. Even that Nemesis, has now come around. ”
Lucian scoffed. No! He nearly rolled over laughing.
I couldn’t understand, what under the sun and moon, he found so funny.
