Chapter 54

Dragomir is the man from my dream, and he is real!

I am still stunned by this turn of events. I never imagined that the mysterious man from my dreams would be the Dragon who has been leading my brother on a chase in his search for Sierra.

Holding onto Dominic's hand, who's no doubt having questions about how I know Dragomir even before we met him, we enter the Dragon's world, immediately sensing the change in the air.

It's crisp with a hint of fresh snow in it. I instantly fall in love with this smell. It reminds me more of Dominic even if he's standing just beside me. It's a beautiful feeling, one that I should start getting used to. Looking up at Dominic, who's walking beside me behind Dragomir and Fenris, I can't help but feel lucky.

Dominic really feels like the mightiest. He never strayed from his mission to avenge his lost mate even though he failed at it, it's just his commitment that portrays his loyalty. In today's date, where I see young werewolves sneaking in for a few minutes of pleasure, Dominic stayed true to his promise to not move on and focused on avenging his lost mate and maybe that's why Dragomir called him the mightiest.

And I can't help but feel cherished for this one reason. For this reason, I can't help but feel special. I might be Charlotte reborn, but when Dominic wasn't sure about it, he chose to keep his distance.

Dominic squeezes my hand while holding on to it, and I clear my thoughts. I look at him, smiling a little when his gaze falls down at me in question. Lately, I can't help but feel more than friendship. There is an underlying need to make him happier, to make myself happier. Not sure, where these thoughts are coming from and how to discuss about this with him, I just smile at him and look ahead, trying to focus on the greenery that we are surrounded with.

The road is a narrow one, looks like it's made only for a walk, no vehicles.

Dragomir turns back for a minute to look at us, or more specifically at Fenris, who looks very restless. He's almost walking beside Dragomir. Only because he doesn't know the way, is he allowing Dragomir to walk ahead of him.

It's an endearing as well as a pitiful scene.

Dominic silently chuckles beside me, probably because of my thought, to which he is currently having access to. I squeeze his hand gently to reprimand him. Not too long ago, Dominic was also in the same state, nervous and happy bundled up together, yet unsure of the outcome.

I am still not sure about the outcome but I do know that I won't be able to live without Dominic. I might take some time, but yes, I do see myself beside Dominic. If only he could give me some time.

"You have all the time in the world, my love."

I look up at him, smiling a little as my stomach fills with butterflies at the endearment. It's a miracle that this Vampire, a King, can love me.

A throat clearing startles me, making me push my thoughts to the corner of my mind for the time being. I have enough time to think about this later. Looking around myself, I can't help but gasp at this otherworldly scene.

The view in front of us is stunning. A large green plateau stretches out, full of vibrant flowers in every colour—red, yellow, blue, and more. The air carries their sweet fragrance, making the scene feel magical.

In the middle of this beautiful landscape stands a grand castle, strong and proud. Its tall towers and solid walls show the power of the Dragons. At the base of the castle, there's a clear river, its waters so pure they reflect everything around it, just like the legendary river Luna back at home.

Behind it all, snow-covered mountains rise high into the sky. They look strong and majestic, shining in the sunlight. The mountains, castle, and river together create a view that feels like it's straight from a dream—a perfect combination of nature's beauty and the Dragons' strength.
