The Rogue witch (Emperor Belos x reader)

Chapter 10

As I awoke the next morning I felt light, as if for the first time in forever I had gotten some rest. Rolling over I felt how the other side of the bed was cold. Sitting up to look at the empty space finding nothing but a note. Picking it up I read 'Dear Y/n, I sincerely apologize for not being there when you woke, but the tasks and duties of an Emperor never cease. I will be busy until later this evening when I will join you for supper until then feel free to stay in my chambers or if you would like to may roam around the castle.
Sincerely Belos.'

Putting the letter down on the bedside table I smile. Flopping back against the pillows I close my eyes 'I'll be waiting for you Belos'

' I hear panting, trees race across my vision as I run deeper into the forest. "I hurt him, I attacked him!" The images of how I lost control turning into the dragon and attacking my best friend, MY BROTHER flash through my mind. I can't remember why I attacked him though, Why would I attack my only friend? I remember us talking 'no fighting, about something, I remember he said something that made me really angry, but also incredibly scared. What did he say? All I know is that after he had said it I had snapped and attacked him and he fought back stricking me hard in the gut with a spell, then... Nothing? I can't think, I can't go back. All I can do now is run, and hope that what I did was for a good reason. Suddenly I trip and everything goes black.'

Something jabs me in the nose hard and I wake with a start. There sitting about an inch or so from my face sits Drogon. His fierce eyes meet mine and when I don't move his head darts out as he head butts me harshly in the forehead. "Aghh! Drogon im awake stop!" I yell as he climbs up my chest and head butts me again. I fall backwards onto the floor Drogon flying up then gliding down to land on my knee gracefully. He lands letting out a mix of a chirp  and a hiss. "Yeah, yeah I know, I slept in I'm getting up now," I say slowly standing.

As I get to my feet I stretch out letting my back crackle as I do. Looking around the room I notice the open door to an attached bathroom, stepping inside I see my reflection. My hair is a mess and I look quite a bit pale but for the first time in a while, I look well-rested.

As I look in the mirror something catches my eye, behind me on another counter sits a stack of clothes with a note on top for Belos.

' Y/n- I figured that you would like to freshen up a bit after you woke up so I left you some clothes, please feel free to use the shower if you wish ~Belos.'

Setting the note down you turn to your dragon palisman "You know what Drogon? A shower does sound nice. Now shew I'm going to get naked."  you say as you usher the small and slightly annoyed dragon out of the bathroom so you can shower in privacy. Leaning down I quietly whisper " Don't worry Drogon, I won't take too long." I lean down and lightly kiss him on top of the head in between his horns. He turns his head up looking at me with wide eyes before chirping softly and flying off out of the bathroom.

Sighing I stand up closing the bathroom door before I turn and discard my shirt getting undressed. Once fully undressed I step toward the shower starting it while I wait for it to get to the right temperature. As I stepped in and the warm water cascades over me I feel all stress and tension wash away. Slowly I let myself sink down until I'm sitting under the spray of water enjoying the feeling of it against my scalp and back as I let my mind wander.

It doesn't take long before Belos flashes through my mind his soft blue eyes gazing into mine as his hand softy presses against my cheek, his other hand slowly sliding down my waist as he pulls me closer against him as he leans down.

My eyes dart open as my face begins to burn. 'Why am I thinking of him that way?' Quickly I get to my feet trying to get Belos out of my mind. I shut off the shower and instantly shiver as the cold air caresses my wet skin. Stepping out I look around spotting a towel to dry off with wrapping myself up I catch my reflection in the mirror I note how red I am. How my hair clings to my skull while I shiver from the cold air of the castle.

"I'm just acting stupid, I didn't even think of anything that didn't happen,"
I mumble as I think of that scene again.

More images flash through my mind like how Belos's hands are so much larger than my own and how he could-

"NO! I will NOT think like that!" I yell as I shake the thoughts from my mind, quickly I dry off before I put on the plain gray shirt and black pants that Belos left for me. Once done I hurry out of the bathroom to escape those thoughts.

As I go to leave his room I hear a voice calling me "Oh there you are miss/mr. Y/n Emperor Belos has instructed me to bring you to the Dining hall, Dinner will be ready shortly and Emperor Belos will be joining you in a bit. Is everything okay miss/mr?" Kikimora says looking up at you. "Oh- uhh Yes I'm fine. Lead the way kikimora." You say ' we'll dinners definitely going to be interesting.

- I finally got a new chapter out! Yay! Plus I'm sorry to any male readers when I originally started this book it was originally for me so it was from a Fem perspective, but from this chapter on it will be gender-neutral. I will try to update more often but I hope you enjoyed this chapter and a little warning for the next chapter there might the smut. I'm not sure yet but im kind of wanting to add some for fun.
