Chapter 148 Heart-protecting Scale

Finished

Rosalie opened her palm and saw a shimmering dragon scale lying there.

“This is my heart-protecting scale. It’s the most important part of a dragon.

“Matriarch, I’m giving it to you. From now on, I am yours, forever.”

Rosalie was stunned. She couldn’t believe he’d go this far.

The heart-protecting scale was the most important scale on a dragon’s body. Without it, the most vulnerable part of him would always be exposed.

And if anyone saw this scale, they’d know Rosalie had a powerful dragon protecting her. The scale itself could keep her safe.

Such a devoted gesture… Only a dragon as straightforward as Declan could have thought of it.

Rosalie pressed the scale to her chest, right over her heart.

Declan’s eyes turned red, his body radiating heat.

Rosalie nodded hard. “Okay.”

Declan’s chest was heaving. He was incredibly excited, but he had something more important to do.

He kissed her forehead solemnly. “Matriarch, I’m going to face the lightning trial. I’ll be back

soon.”

Even though the lightning trial was dangerous, he talked about it like he was just running an errand.

Rosalie quickly grabbed a few pills from her storage space and stuffed them all into his mouth, only relaxing once he swallowed them.

These pills would help his injuries heal faster, so he’d suffer less during the trial.

They shared one last tight hug, and then Declan headed out.

Outside, the lightning strikes were getting stronger and more frequent. Rosalie’s heart tightened with every rumble.

There was nothing she could do but wait. Her head, which had finally started to feel clearer, began throbbing again.

Elijah walked in, lifted her onto his lap, and held her close. His fingers gently massaged her temples.

Neither of them spoke-one waiting, the other standing guard.

The lightning and thunder lasted all night, and Rosalie barely slept a wink.

By sunrise, the thunder finally quieted down, replaced by heavy rain.

Rosalie walked to the window and looked at the rain. Through the blurry curtain of water, she saw a figure.

Excited, she turned around to tell Elijah, but he was already gone.

The figure outside got closer and clearer. Rosalie didn’t wait and rushed straight into the rain.

The rain hit her so hard she could barely open her eyes, but she knew where she was going. She threw herself into Declan’s arms. He caught her tightly.

Rosalie looked up at him. His whole presence had changed, like he was reborn. A steady resolve burned in his eyes, telling her he had succeeded.

Tears of joy slid from the corner of her eyes, mixing with the rain.

“Congrats. You’re a true dragon now.”

Declan looked at her with so much love it was almost overwhelming.

He smiled. The rain slowly stopped, warm sunlight broke through, and a rainbow formed across the sky.

Declan kissed her forehead lightly and said seriously, “Matriarch, I can finally stay by your side forever.”

He was the first true dragon born in a hundred years, but he was willing to hide it just to be one of Rosalie’s seven beastmen.

All he wanted was for her to be safe.

Rosalie was soaked, and her big eyes blinked brightly.

Suddenly, someone yanked her out of Declan’s arms, ruining the warm moment.
