Draven stepped out of the council hall while carrying Ember in his arms, his long, steady strides causing his servant to jog behind him to keep up with his speed. _{freewebnøvel.com}

After barely catching up to his master, Erlos realized that the King had missed the turn in the hallway that led towards the guest rooms. He thought Draven must be busy thinking about what he had done and didn’t realize it.

“Sire? The guest rooms are that way,” Erlos said immediately. “I should bring her to her room myself. There is no need for you to—”

The human was unconscious and she needed to be kept somewhere, but it seemed improper for the King himself to keep carrying her in his arms.

As if Draven didn’t hear him, he continued to walk ahead without pause. It did not take long for Erlos to realize they were headed to the King’s chamber.

‘Sire is taking that human to his chamber?!’

Erlos nearly missed a step, but luckily he didn’t fall flat on his face.

‘Is he in his right state of mind? Last time, didn’t he ask me to throw her out of his bed…hmm? But…why is he—wait, is it because he marked her? Does that mean he is acknowledging her as his mate already?’

The realization shocked him and he raised his head to look up.

‘All my ancestors, if you hear me, tell me I am not losing my mind. Did I not fall asleep and have the most nonsensical dream?’

The door to the King’s chamber opened on its own and Draven walked inside with sure steps. As if it was his plan from the very start, he put Ember on his bed and covered her with the blanket. His action was surprisingly tender, but there was no one else in the room to witness it.

Draven sat at the edge of the bed and observed that unconscious human’s face.

With his glove-covered fingers, he moved her face to one side. He observed the mark he had left on the right side of her neck. Two red puncture wounds could be seen on her skin. He removed his glove from his right hand and caressed that mark gently.

Seconds later, Erlos entered the chamber, expecting to hear an order or snide remarks from the King, but what he saw shocked him.

‘He’s touching her?!’

“Guard the door. Don’t let anyone enter the chamber,” came another instruction from the King.

Even before Erlos could reply, Draven disappeared from the chamber as the door of the chamber shut itself.

“Where did he go?” Erlos mumbled. “Last time he disappeared like this, he brought this human female with him. I hope this time he will return alone.” Erlos glanced at Ember once and then left the chamber to guard the door as instructed by the King.

Outside of the palace, there were sparks in the sky above the roof, followed by muffled vibrations like claps of thunder. There were collisions of two powers once again, and soon enough, two bodies seemingly fell to the ground covered with tall trees.

Crash!

Dust clouds rose into the air as two bodies collided on the ground, causing the forest floor to have a small pit the shape of a person.

A warrior from the Divine Eagle Family was pinned to the ground. The grip of a single gloved hand strangled his neck with a force so strong, it left him unable to move.

Morpheus didn’t look surprised as he stared up at the pair of red eyes whose owner was kneeling on one leg. The force of his hand was ready to kill someone by strangling.
