Chapter 31
Evelyn's Pov.
Draven kept driving for hours and I began to feel uneasy by staring back at different intervals to check if anyone was following him, someone like Vlad or Lucian but that didn't seem to be the case. In fact, we left the borders of Scented Skies, passed through another till we reached another City that looked haven. A place that was way more classier and larger than Scented Skies making me swallow all the curiosity about Vald and Lucian.
I've never seen anything like this in my entire life, it was like I was in a Vast ancient but modern Kingdom of arts and my eyes widened at every building we passed immediately after we crossed the first gate.
"Where are we Draven, What is this place? It's so beautiful?" I couldn't help the gasp that squeaked out from my mouth and a smug grin that arc at the corner of his lips.
"You love the place?" I nodded at his words and he smirked.
"Welcome to Zyone Kingdom, Your Kingdom Vixen" He muttered and kissed me on the forehead making me blush and I returned to my admiration pushing back the thoughts of my other mates. They would be here soon, I'm just surprised at the sudden rush and why I wasn't informed that I'd be leaving Scented Skies so soon.
As we make our way inside this Zyone city, I notice the architecture becoming increasingly grand, The air is filled with the sweet scent of dragon's breath flowers or something I thought, and the sound of gentle chiming from the crystal lanterns that line the streets.
Approaching the main mansion of the palace, we passed through the Grand Dragon's Gate, a majestic entrance flanked by two enormous stone dragons that made my mouth agape. The gates are adorned with glittering gemstones and shimmering scales that seem to dance in the light.
This place is so beautiful that my heart ached at the thought that I was so undeserving to be here especially when we went inside.
The maids, guards, and other personalities I couldn't seem to decipher all bowed in a matching order.
"When will they be coming Draven?" I jumped in excitement, staring at the room he led me inside which looked like a carved-out fantasy room, all laid out with a pink color and the most fluffy queen-sized bed ever.
He sighed at me and stared at me with satisfaction as If he had me alone finally to himself without any kind of distraction and ignoring my initial question.
"You should rest, I'll let you meet the Doctor tomorrow to know the state of the baby!" He said carrying me to the bed and pulling the covers over me.
"Will they be coming, Draven?" My lips quaked in worry again, I wanted to see Vladimir and Lucian, the thought of staying away from them was making me feel so incomplete and uncomfortable.
He nodded and tried to force a smile. "Yeah Vixen, they would be on their way soon. They just need to fix something and rest after the whole fire saga okay?" I grinned at him and nodded, letting my back relax on the pillow. He didn't leave till sleep overwhelmed me throughout the night and when I stood up the next day, I was surrounded by what seemed like half-naked beautiful women, staring at me with glares that made my skin crawl.
One was carrying a towel, the other was carrying a basket of what seemed like deodorant and the other two were with clean sheets and a dress I couldn't fathom.
"Uh... good m.. morning?" My voice croaked at them as I stood up but the only response I got in return was a glare.
"You will never be the Dragon Queen, not in your lifetime. Get the fuck off from the bed and follow me." The one with a towel said making me feel so insecure about my body. She was just wrapped in a long golden stain linen that began from the waist to the tip of her toe and a designer's bra that was adorned with beads, barely covering half of her huge breasts which made me wonder why almost all of them were dressed that way. Half naked!
I stood up and followed her, not expecting less from them. I was about to be treated in the same manner and attitude in Scented Skies Clan so this one wasn't new to me, I just wanted to see my Kings and I'll be fine in no time.
It was a bath, the room was so large that one would think it was a lake, the steam coming from it was more than enough to make my muscles relax the moment I entered. I wasn't ready to exchange words with anyone because none of them liked me. I could see it from their glares and stares but I discovered the one who had talked to me was Mara, she was the epitome of a seducing beauty with a banging body that me uncomfortable, brown packed hair with the most pretty rose gold eyes I've ever come across with. The other two girls whose names I heard were Mitchell and Savannah and they openly gossip about the dreadful event of the Kingdom, how Draven's brother has suddenly visited to cause chaos, and how I won't survive in the Dragon's fire test meant for every bride.
Everything here was laced and addressed with perfection until I met Draven's mother. Vladimir didn't have one after asking him so seeing a powerful Dragon King with a mother was surprising, I mean it was suffocating because this woman was painfully honest with everything and making my throat bitter.
"I can't believe Draven brought a clown, I had to come over to see for myself the all-mysterious mate that made my son stay amid his enemies. What's the name again?" She stared at me with a tone of disgust eyeing the attire as though I wasn't fit to wear it, as If I didn't deserve to wear it like them and would rather peel it off with her eyes.
