The Devil's Cursed Witch

Draven felt Ember’s thin body shivering briefly under him and suddenly turned calm as he found his canines lightly pierced into her skin. His tongue could taste the blood on it and realization hit him. He had bitten her…no it was not him but the Dragon inside him was being excited to claim him mate.

‘That Damn Dragon!’

He retreated his canines slowly and licked the hurt skin with his tongue to soothe it. His saliva worked on immediate healing of the tiny wounds caused by the biting. Feeling angry at himself he closed his eyes and buried his face on the side of her face and in her soft hair that crowned around her head which was resting on the pillow.

Her scent, which always seduced him, made him feel comforted when he was angry. His hands resting on either side of her on the bed, gripped the bedsheet to relieve his frustration and anger as he felt something warm and moist touching his temple.

Draven moved his face back to look at his mate who had her eyes closed with tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes. She looked helpless while lying under him.

It hurt him to see this sight of her. Though his senses were messed up, he had not gone insane to the extent of not being able to stop at all. He caressed her cheek with his hand as his thumb brushed away the tears rolling down her eyes.

“Ember!” he called out in a low whisper but there was no reply from her._.

‘She has gone unconscious,’ he realized and could not help but be angrier at himself.

He looked back at the crimson blossom mark on her neck where he…his Dragon tried to bite her once again but could not succeed. He caressed it with his fingers and found that it was not bad and it will be fine soon.

He moved back and sat next to her in bed. To think of it, he realized what happened was for the better. If it was not for his Dragon trying to bite her and her crying out in pain, he would not have gotten back to his senses and must have ended up consummating the bond. Him, bringing her to his bed was already clear proof that he was determined to fulfil that bond.

He ran his hands through his hair frustratingly to think what would have happened if he had not stopped. Wasn’t he planning to wait for her till she reached that level when she would be aware of her actions and give herself to him willingly?

‘I was about to ruin it all.’

Instead of getting angry at his Dragon for trying to hurt their mate by biting her, he was thankful to him that his action brought him back to his senses and prevented him from doing anything further with her.

“Erlos!” Draven called for his servant.

Given his heightened hearing senses, the silver-haired high elf would never fail to catch the calling of his master and would appear there regardless of wherever he was inside that palace.

With his fast speed, It didn’t take time for Erlos to reach Draven’s chamber in a matter of a few moments.

The door of the chamber left opened, “Sire, I am here…..” he stopped as the expressions on his face changed with the sight of his master’s mate on his bed.

He observed Draven whose hair looked a little messy and even his clothes. His sharp gaze didn’t fail to notice the lightly creased and messed up bedsheet which he had changed to a new one and arranged perfectly this morning after his master woke up.

Erlos cleared his throat, “I..shall have knocked on the door.”

Draven ignored him, “Ask Yula to be in the south-west wing.”

“Yes, Sire,” Erlos left while Draven lifted Ember and carried her towards the southwest wing of the floor.

That side of the floor was empty as Clio and Reya were still waiting for their Miss while standing around the garden, not knowing the king had brought her to his chamber.

Draven put Ember on her bed gently and covered her with the blanket. ‘I hope she won’t be scared after remembering it and will instead try to look for and ask about why it happened. I will answer everything to her once she is awake.’

If not for her scent affecting his senses, he would have had a proper talk with her. Today he tried but things went the other way. Before having a proper talk with her, he needed to teach her to control herself from getting affected by that bond or she would not understand anything he would tell her.

It didn’t take time for Yula to arrive at the southwest wing of the floor. The moment she received the message from the king, she left her work and appeared there.

“Your Majesty, Did you ask for me?” she asked as her gaze passed by Ember who was lying in bed.

He nodded as he stood up from the bed and looked at Ember, “She will be awake in some time. Once she is awake and asks anything, make sure to answer her then whatever it is. I will return soon and then visit her.”

Yula nodded and Draven left the chamber.

Not willing to stay in the palace at this moment, Draven disappeared from there to go somewhere. He needed to calm himself as well as the Dragon inside him who was still excited for his mate.

There was only one way to calm that Dragon and that was to bring him to his favourite place. Not just the Dragon but Draven himself preferred to go to that place where he loved to visit whenever his mind was chaotic.

He appeared in the centre of the vast field, covered with the dandelions as far as one’s gaze could reach. He loved that vast field covered in those yellow flowers and enjoyed the breeze coming from the mountains around which always helped him calm.

There were instances when Draven spent time here in his Dragon form as the Dragon inside him loved these Dandelions and loved to be here. It loved to blow on those flowers till their petals withered and especially when those flowers were in their pappus form.

‘I shall stay away from her for a time being. This Damn Dragon is still excited for his mate and I need to wait for him to calm down. I hope bringing him here would help.’

Draven could feel when exactly the Dragon inside him was calm or dormant as if it didn’t exist inside him or when he was excited and was ready to come out.

‘The effect of bond is yet to be stronger enough which I can still resist. I need to think through it and make her understand. I need to train her to resist the effect of bond before we complete the one month of marking. After that, it would be impossible.’

He opened his eyes. Looking at that beautiful yellow field, the only thought came to his mind, ‘I believe she will like it if I bring her here. Once she learns to resist my scent and the effect of bond, I will bring her here as a reward for her. I believe she can do it. After all, she is not any ordinary human.’
