Chapter 30

Evelyn's Pov.

I was supposed to have breakfast with my Kings after such a long rest sleep. Vladimir made sure to warn me not to get up until I had enough rest and the maids made sure to give me the abrupt silence I needed until I couldn't contain it anymore and got refreshed to meet them.

My honey hair was styled in waves, matching the eye shadow, my lips were the perfect shade of pink and my face was covered in a light makeup of contour and a little blush that made me frown. No matter how I complained that it was just breakfast and didn't need all of these, I was called names, reminding me of my weak human state and how I wasn't fit to be their Queen. Words like that made me gulp my words and let them do their thing. I didn't want to relieve the memory of last night when I was almost stoned to death for being the cause of the ugly incident that happened in the Clan.

While I looked forward to meeting them, I saw a horrific sight that made me gasp without hiding it.

The face of Tanya was daylight horror and she wasn't doing anything to hide it with her glare towards me, how do we even manage to cross paths in this Terrace? I've forgotten about her and how she lured my naive self out as if she cared but she didn't. She only wanted me out of the way and I was stupid for not realizing that on time.

"What happened to your face?" I couldn't help it, her lips were cut, the type of cut where you see the flesh divide against each other, and her neck was fucked and squeezed. It was too bad, her neck looked like it would fall off if not for the bandage that was soaked with blood.

"I bet you're happy now, you silly bitch but better believe me when I say that such happiness won't last, it's not going to last because I'm going to hunt you wherever you are and wipe you off from the face of the earth!" Her words sent cold chills down my spine and I shivered.

I did nothing wrong to this lady so, what's It with the excessive hatred?

"You lured me out of this Clan, I'm the one who is meant to be mad and not the other way round!" I told her and her eyes glowed angrily, she raised her hands to hit me but stopped midway due to the loud crack in the wall and the thick white smoke that erupted from the space which made my eyes widen.

Another crack happened, another crack followed and if we didn't get the hell out of here, these walls were going to fall on our heads too so we took a hot sprint and fled.

We reached the entrance of the living but the blast of hot waves threw us backward and made my skin burn.

"Fire! No way...fire isn't good for us!" Tanya's lips trembled, feeling weak all of a sudden and dropping to the floor. The crack on the wall burst and there was a powerful slam to the ground making me scream my heart out in fear.

I dragged her away from the hot spot and shook terribly, the place was filled with smoke and had successfully seeped into my nostrils to make me foggy with watery eyes and a pepperish lung.

"Help!" I yelled in tears and we were trapped inside smoke and both entrances were filled with hot flames to burn us raw.

"Please...any... body!" I coughed so hard and fell to the floor, trying to make sure that the unconscious Tanya was covered by me.

What made me yelp all of a sudden was the forceful cold grip of powerful hands, yanking me off the floor and pulling me upwards.

"I'm sorry angel, let's get out of here."Draven's guilty voice was like a cool ice to my burning skin and I grabbed his hands and shook my head.

"Tanya!" I pleaded and his bright eyes darkened Instantly with disagreement. "Please, she's going to burn, take her too please."

"Not happening!"

"But she's dying!" I screamed at him and tugged at his hands, the fire was getting worse and I wondered how many people must be affected, what's it with the fire? Who could have blown up to render everyone restless and useless?

"Please, take her. I can't watch her die when I could have tried and helped. It's not fair."

"Nothing is fair Vixen and yes, you can't possibly do a thing for her right now."

"But you can help, you can cover me up while.." I coughed so hard that tears spilled from my eyes.

"Fucking hell, I'm taking you out?" He growled but I pushed his arms.

"Take her out too, please Draven!"

"She tried to kill you, and you want me to save her so she could kill you again?"

" It doesn't matter, I won't watch someone else get hurt when there's something I could have done! I'm not Leavi–" The words drained from my lips when he suddenly grabbed her like a whoosh and grabbed me too out of the hot flames before we both got burnt.

I coughed so badly and cried out at the intensity of the fire that was swallowing the place whole and Tanya who lay beside me on the floor too, looking flushed and scared.

"Sorry baby, take this!" Draven passed a bottle of water to me and I took it without wasting a second and gulped it down while he patted my back, staring at me lovingly and in worry.

"Are you okay? What happened Draven? Why is the fire so fierce?" I asked him but all he did was sweep me off the floor in a bridal style and walk towards the car.

"Let's get out of here first." His tight deep tone flooded my ears and I nodded, staring at the fine specimen of beauty as he started the rear engine of the car.

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously, trying to fight the tears that almost rushed out at the sight of people running helter-skelter and trying to protect themselves from the fire.

I didn't like this at all.

"Zyone Kingdom love, we are going to my Kingdom to keep you and the baby at ease. You don't need this tension."

I nodded and felt a little bit giddy at the prospect that I'd be visiting a Dragon city.

"What about Vladimir and Lucian, would they be coming along?" I asked with high hopes that he would tell me yes.

"Yes, they will. He told me blankly but it was enough for me to relax.

No matter how many people get hurt and burn, My Kings have to be safe. I can't help it if something or anyone tries to hurt them.
