The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 The Black Dragon's Mate

That woman from his dreams, since she shouldn’t be a stranger but someone he cherished, then why was it in his earlier dreams, he had seen her holding a knife to his chest?

Was she an enemy? A lover? A lover turned enemy?

Though he couldn’t answer that, there was something his intuition was telling him– the closeness he had with her felt the same as what he felt with Ember.

‘And why did Ember call me Raven? How did she know that name which I only heard in my dreams?’

A strange thought came to his mind as he remembered how Ember’s face and the face of the woman in his dreams overlapped.

‘What if rather than her ancestor…Ember is that very woman?’

He almost scoffed at how stupid he was being, yet he could not drive the strange feeling away.

‘Though they looked different, their resemblance is too uncanny to say they are not the same person. But how can that be? Am I thinking too much or…?’

Draven could only let out a tired sigh as he pressed his lips against Ember’s forehead, briefly closing his eyes.

‘For thousands of years, I have roamed this continent without a memory of my past. Say, if my dreams are all from before I lost my memories, that would mean I had probably encountered a terrible tragedy that caused me to suffer memory loss. Then, what if I had family or friends back then? It wouldn’t be impossible that something happened to them too.

‘If the woman in my dreams is my lover, then did something happen to her…like dying… and she is reborn as Ember?’ _{freёweɓnovel.com}

The mere thought of that made Draven’s chest tighten.

‘There are too few clues and it’s a large leap of logic, but that would explain a lot of the strange things about Ember, the only human in existence who can use magic, who also possesses a seal created by divine power.

‘If so, then I need to discover what happened to me and her. For that…’ His gaze turned determined. “I hope the seal on her powers lifts with the completion of the mate bond and those people come after her. Only then I can know who they are. If they had truly harmed her before, I will spare none of them.’

His eyes simmered with rage at the possibility that someone had hurt Ember before. He held her sleeping form closer, as if to assure himself that as long as he was living, nothing could ever hurt his little mate in this lifetime.

‘My mate…’

Holding her slender form closer, Draven breathed in her lovely intoxicating scent and pecked on her forehead as he decided to sleep. An unusual sense of comfort spread over him, causing all his muscles to relax, as if nothing of his burdens existed at this moment.

A content smile appeared on his lips as he looked at that mark on her neck which had a black dragon draped around the crimson blossom.

‘Now everyone will know she is the Black Dragon’s mate, that she belongs to me and me alone.’

Beside the crimson blossom mark seemed to be pink petals scattered all over her fair and delicate skin, and he almost chucked when he realized what they were. Love bites were everywhere around her neck and her shoulders, and as his gaze moved down to her chest, he even saw his teeth marks.

He touched those bruise-like marks with his fingers. ‘I hope they won’t hurt.’ Then a thought came to his mind as he recalled her pained expression and her weak efforts to get away from him. ‘Did I scare her last night? I hope not.’

As he admired the marks he left on her body, his mind could not help but wonder.

‘With our mate bond completed, the seal on her powers must have been broken by now.’

Curious about the consequences this would have brought, he could not help but feel the heavy burden added to his shoulder. He had already decided that whatever happens now, he would face it head-on while ensuring that his mate remains safe. He covered her sleeping form with a blanket up to her shoulder before stepping out of bed. He then picked up his pants that were left lying on the carpeted floor and wore them.

‘Seems like she won’t wake up soon.’
