Twist Of Fate

Chapter 5 Eve

Things are going to get steamy for a while, viewer discretion is advised. Or if you like it hot, enjoy 😉
This chapter is dedicated to Mrs_Bean_D_2ND because she needs mooorre. Wish granted 🤗

I stand glaring at the so-called King, as Lysario wraps the hand I just broke on the wall by Hamish's head.

Luka paces behind me angrily. What a cluster fuck of tangled bullshit.

Hamish knew what Adele was doing the whole time and tried to cover things up. Hiding that he knew of her betrayal (from her) and trying to prevent others from discovering it. Why? I had no idea. It was an unnecessary mess.

In desperation, he had recently begun negotiations with the Vampire King to dismiss her from their service.

But the Vampire King had instead threatened to reveal the truth about their mate bond and their roles in this deception if Hamish didn't begin the negotiations for the peaceful surrender of the dragon kingdom to the Vampires.

Negotiations - which Hamish confirmed, were well underway. The only reason I punched the wall instead of his face was that he wasn't aware of what Adele had done to the Oracle, just that she had done something. Besides, I was reserving the privilege for Garret.

Adele however got a solid punch from yours truly. The King's bellow of rage from striking his mate allowed me to kill or rather upset two birds with one stone.

Garret was going to murder him. I had no idea how I was going to tell him the extent of his brother's betrayal. Adele had admitted to the two spies we were already aware of but said they were all she knew.

Hopefully, this was the end of the dragon's side of the deceit and it would be smooth sailing for the rest.

"What else could I do Eve? I love her, she's my other half. If she was found out she would be put to death. I would give up everything for her." Hamish says mournfully. Good old mate bond, screwing with people wherever it went.

"Please stop talking," I growl out, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. "Your wish has been granted. You will lose everything for her. If you had just spoken to your brother, fuck, anyone of your family, this could have been avoided. Your wife, Davina, could have solved this shit when it started with just her pinky finger! Now Garret will decide your fates and I promise you, he will be less kind than I have been. Although I do believe your wife wants to work out some of her anger with you."

I wipe the sweat from my face. The normally cool dungeon feels muggy.

My head is throbbing again and that feverish feeling I had last night has returned. Was my body at war with my dragon side? Was the dragon making me feverish with the anger I felt?

"Hey, are you ok?" Lysario asks, cupping my cheek as his brows furrow at me, his intense eyes, trying to penetrate my soul.

I had a better idea of something he could penetrate. Wink, wink.

I quickly pull away from his touch. Geez! Down girl. My libido was nuts today.

"Just hot, a bit of a headache." I shrug. Trying to act like I didn't just mentally fuck him senseless in my head.

"If you have all you need, maybe we should head home?" Luka suggests, watching me warily.
