Bride of a Dragon

{Mature Content} ...”I told you once that only two things will have me - you and death”... In a world where dragons were worshipped and witches were hunted and killed for revolting against the throne, Levina, a green-eyed witch, has lived her whole life running away from the dragons and hiding her secret. But what happens when Levina falls in love with the only person she is forbidden to love_ The Crown Prince and heir to the throne of Arvenia. She tries to keep her secret from him, to remain at his side, but what happens when Lucien finds out that the woman he had cherished with his whole being is a witch? Will Lucien turn his back on his people and be with her, or will he be forced to kill the woman he loves with his own hands? ... Excerpt "My lord, she's here..." Lucien's gaze remained fixed on the window as if seeing it for the first time. He heard her light footsteps draw nearer. Those footsteps had become etched in his memory. In the past, he would turn around with a smile when he heard them, but this time, he did not want to. "Lucien..." her somber little voice spoke, and they bore a crackle as though she had been crying. He turned around, and as he had thought, her eyes glistened with tears. "Lucien..." she called again, and he gritted his teeth, purposefully looking away. If he continued to look at her, he was not sure he could stop himself from running to her. "Is it true?" The question had bogged him all night, and he wished, so desperately that it was a lie, that she was not what they said she was. That she was just his Lev. Silence filled the air, and he met her gaze. Tears streamed down her face, but still, she did not answer his question, but instead she smiled; "I love you, Lucien."

You care about him now?

She watched as hurt flashed across his eyes and felt bad for hurting him. Draven was good and kind; he deserved better.

"Is it because of Lucien? Do you have feelings for him?" he asked.

It certainly was because of Lucien, but she did not have an answer to his second question.

"No. I do not have feelings for Lucien, I could never. I know better than to develop feelings for a man set to marry another," she replied, looking up and finding Lucien still standing in the same spot.

"Lucien has nothing to do with this," she said. "I cannot be with you or anyone else, for that matter."

"Witches live a life of solitude," Rebecca's words replayed in her head.

"You want to live out the rest of your life alone?" he asked, with a hint of pity in his voice.

She hated that hint of pity. She did not need anyone's pity. "Yes. I will live out the rest of my life alone."
