The Dragon's Oracle(2)

CHAPTER 11

EROS:

    Ever since Natasha stepped feet into my kingdom I realized that everything was slowly changing for the better.

First it was the little things she did like joining the gift academy just so she could teach them how to use their different gifts, then those times she would go over to the medical wings just so she could help them whatever way she could, don't even get me started on the way she had dedicated her time in teaching the warriors how to fight properly on their feet.

I remember when she suggested the training aspect, I'd thought it was unnecessary cause we are creatures of the air, yes we could fight even on the ground but i knew my warriors relied solely on their fire and wings.

After a lot of thoughts about it I had decided to let her do whatever she wanted, if she could pull it off then I couldn't exactly complain cause it was an added advantage to us all.

I had watched as she defeated men and women that stood way taller and bigger than her just because she was faster and stronger on her feet and for that I was beyond proud of the woman who would rule beside me for a very long time to come.

    "Hopefully I'm the only one you are thinking so hard about?"
She had asked, smiling down at me while I shook my head at her ability to overestimate herself at every given time.

I was about to reply her when I was stopped dead in my tracks before looking up at her.

   "Are you pregnant Natasha?"
I'd asked cause I felt another life force attach to her.

I watched as her eyes widened before she closed her eyes said something under her breath that I hadn't heard.

   "No I'm not Babe, I guess it's probably because of Marissa's kid, I always go there to care for the child"
Thank goodness, I was satisfied with her explanation and thankfully I couldn't feel it anymore, I didn't know what I was supposed to do if I found out she was with child.

  I had kissed her head before leading her downstairs so we could get some dinner and get to bed.

         
            **********

I'd stepped out of the walk in wardrobe, slowly getting ready  to kick start my day except I couldn't do that cause I watched Natasha from the bed while she stared distractedly outside.

     "If something was wrong you would tell me right?"
I'd asked as soon as I reached her, crossing my hands around her and placing my head in the crook of her neck where I couldn't wait to place my mark on her, making her mine for everyone in the realm and beyond to see.

    "You'd be the first to know My King"
Came her very hoarse reply,
I didn't understand what was going on with her and to think that she had been okay till a month ago,  then the weaknesses had began, the fever and worse of all she had become so pale I didn't know how to feel anymore.

I was so scared that I had taken her to the medical wing where they said she was perfectly fine,  she didn't look fine but there was nothing even they could do for her.  I remember coming home and soaking her in my warmth in hopes that she would get better a little but nothing was working.

  "What do I do to make you better Babe? I don't know what else to do"
I had sadly explained cause I was truly loosing whatever strength I had in me.

Then an idea hit me, I knew it wasn't the brightest but I hoped it would work for us.
   "Why don't you let me mark you?"

I'd asked but she had turned so fast that I almost tripped.

   "you will speak of no such things, all will be well my King , you just have to wait a little longer "
She had said before kissing my cheeks and pulling away to head to the bathroom.

I knew that something was going on with her, she knew what it was but for some reason she was refusing to open up to me, I was beyond worried about her but there was only so much I could do at this point.

I'd left our room and decided to go call the only other people I knew would help her, maybe she wasn't entirely comfortable with me yet so probably it was best I let her family know what was going on with her.

Yes she is a strong woman and there was no dispute about that, but it was times like this that I wished she would open up a little to me.

I may not be able to fix whatever it is on my own but I would seek help from hell itself if it meant that I would get my bubbly mate back.

Heyyy guys,

This chapter couldn't be any better no matter how much I tried which to me is totally unfair.

Well, it was supposed to be a filler chapter so I guess it just wouldn't stick.
