Chapter 21
Vladimir's Pov.
I wanted to trust Draven so badly and believe that he was going to bring Evelyn in one piece and save me from the chaos in about to face before the blood moon bit I find myself doubting and getting impatient each fucking time that passed.
It's already even and in the 12th hour today, I'm fucking doomed as the King of Scented skies!
What if he took her already to his Kingdom? What if he's hiding her so he could have her all to himself as always? He might have fought his eldest brother for trying to say shit to me but I know deep down that it was all for Evelyn and nothing else
Draven would get selfish, take my mate and go to his city while I stay here and wallow in confusion while waiting in vain.
I called my best warriors to gather and prepare themselves immediately, as I won't be a pawn for the dragon King, he might be smart, wise and powerful but I'm also deadly in my own way.
Even though today might be the last day for me due to the punishment I'll get from the blood moon for not having and marking my mate, I'll make sure I destroy Draven's Kingdom and his people to shreds so that trying to have what doesn't belong to him alone would be the dreaded thing he'll ever try in his next life.
"You called, My King." Luke, one of my trusted warriors and right-hand man bowed before me and I nodded.
"Yes, get the men ready immediately. We'll leave for Cryzon Kingdom immediately and destroy it to shreds!" I ordered and he choked in his saliva and coughed hard, staring hard at me with bloodshot eyes and as if I'd gone mad.
"King Vladimir!" He gasped in horror and almost pleaded through his voice
"Don't give me that stare and do what I ordered immediately!" I roared in anger, feeling irritated at the fact that the name of Kingdom would render him so scared at weak.
"King Draven will go berserk! We can't even go to a Dragons den with just our Vampiric traits! They will burn us to hell! Please King Vladimir, what has he done to you? He pleaded and asked me shit, reminding me of all the weak points the Dragons has over us but I didn't care at the moment.
Draven has messed me up and I'm going to teach him a lesson before I find my fate.
"Don't be fucking stupid Luke, I'm not going there without the Dragon's bane! It would lure everyone to sleep."
I tell him and he shakes his head in horror, he's lucky he's one of my favorites or I would have slashed him for opposing my orders and giving me such a faint look.
"We don't have a Dragon's bane." He added and I smirked.
"I'll get it from the Blood Vane Queen. It's pretty simple for her and I'll add the Mithril poison" He gulped and could only nod even though his whole body wished to defile me.
The dragon's bane is a legendary poison forged from the venom of a thousand snakes and the essence of dragon's scale while Mithril poison is a deadly toxin crafted from the rare metal mithril, it is said to be able to pierce any armor or scale and so deadly to them. They might have only one dragon King as Draven doesn't mean I should understand the members of the Kingdom. They could be deadly too.
"He's not back with my mate, I'll burn and wither under the full moon and you think I should let that punk go? Tell me, Luke, you think I should let that pompous bird defile me Huh?"
"No King Vladimir, that would be blasphemy."
"Exactly!" I exclaimed in agreement but he added. "All I wish is for a little time, he could be back at any time only to realise that you already went on destroying his Kingdom.."
"Luke!" I yelled and he apologized immediately, shaking and sweating at the same time.
"Get the men and get lost from my sight! I know that psychopath more than you can ever think. He gets what he wants by himself and guards it jealousy!"
I spat in annoyance and watched him scramble out immediately. In the next hour we were done and not a shadow of my age and Draven here. It only fuel my need to destroy so that by the time he senses his people in danger, he's going to appear whether he likes it or not.
"Don't attack loudly, just go in like normal members and spray the bane. Once they get affected, burn the entire castle down and don't waste a second!" I ordered with anger and they all nodded, driving out with the carts and horses and I sighed in satisfaction.
"What the fuck are you trying to do?" Lucian chuckled behind me and I whipped my attention to him.
"You know that Draven won't come back right?"
"Well....I know that but I'm not stupid to go to war with a dragon Clan when I've not even seen the outcome of it." He told me and I scoffed.
"Of course you're not, because you're not dying. you're not the one to get burnt up under a moon ages failing for years to get a mate!"
"Shut the fuck up and shove the pity mantra down your bloody throat! Your silly ex shouldn't have led our mate to the Ash blood Cave that led to the other Realm, you won't be looking so pathetic right now!" His blunt words cut straight to my bones and I got angrier.
"That doesn't give Draven the right to take advantage of the situation and take her away from me! I'll burn his Kingdom, maybe that way, he'll bring her back or watch his lineage in ruins.." Lucian looked so unbothered by words or actions, he walked past me and shrugged.
"At least, Evelyn is with him and he doesn't even have the power to compel anyone like you. She would definitely want to come back and I believe he would do that. At this moment, I don't trust Draven! I trust my mate and that's enough."
I wanted to do that too, be calm like him and believed that everything would fall into place but that wasn't working. All I felt was rage so I walked past him to do the needful, destroying Cryzon Kingdom.
