Chapter 61-70

Chapter 61 – So Bad
Shock was clearly etched on Evie’s face as Gavriel eased away from her and faced Luc. Evie saw how his face had transformed from one that was playful and seductive, into one that was cold and flint-like.

“Take my wife back to the castle.” He ordered in a calm voice and the green eyed blond immediately nodded.

Evie reached out and clasped at Gavriel’s coat. Her expression was severe.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Gavriel bent and whispered to her. “Don’t make that face, love. Didn’t I promise I’d protect you? I will not let a single unwelcomed person get pass this wall so do not worry, okay? Furthermore, we need to continue what we started but was rudely interrupted… right?” Gavriel teased with a grin, trying to ease Evie’s worry.

The certainty in his voice made Evie felt secured and that teasing managed to get her to loosen up a little. However, she was not so much worried about herself but more for him. She knew he was strong but… that earlier nightmare… what if her father had allied himself with the crown prince? No, why would her father be with the crown prince? The crown prince was humanity’s enemy. And the weather was not bad. She looked up in the sky and it was clear. The first sign that a dragon would arrive sooner or later were thick dark clouds appearing in the sky. If the dragon guardian goes out for war, a gloomy weather would follow him wherever he goes. And when it was time for the dragon keeper to call the creature, a thunderstorm would precede the dragon as it makes its way to the guardian’s location, before emerging from the thick clouds along with lightning that accompanies it.

Seeing that there was no sign of her father nor the dragon coming, Evie was utterly relieved. It seemed that her nightmare was not going to happen yet – at least not tonight.

But still, she could not help but feel worried for him. A war was a war – it recognises no friends nor foe and has no boundaries. Anything could happen.
