The Blood in the Dragon

Chapter 15

Adonis’s P.O.V

I tensed up when Rachel first mentioned my ex, but then she told me about Cali and I was pissed off. I had already told Cali that it was over between us and that I had found my mate and she seemed happy for me at the time, was that all just an act? I already trusted my sisters with my life and I knew that I could always trust Rachel’s powers, so I had no reason to doubt her now.

“Go and relax, I’ll bring you something to eat.” I said to Liv as we made it to our bedroom. I could feel Rachel in my head, but I quickly blocked her as I didn’t want her to see or know what I was about to do. I had other plans in mind as I stormed down the hall to my destination, but Rachel quickly came in front of me and stopped me.

“No brother, if you do that then it's going to make things worse. Just show her she doesn’t have a chance in hell with you. You know that she has been yearning to be queen for the longest time, so show her that she won’t ever be. Be the king I know you can be. Go and get Liv food and then talk to her, tell her about all of this because if Cali gets to her first then Liv won’t ever trust you, Adonis.” Rachel said, making me sigh. I knew that she was right and everything that she had said was more than a good point. Liv didn’t trust me fully yet and something like this could stop her from ever trusting me, which would break me. If there is no trust then there is no relationship and I needed and wanted my mate.

“Fine, but if that b***h so much as tries anything I’ll kill her.” I said and Rachel nodded. She stepped out of my way and I walked past her huffing as I went to the kitchen. Just because she was right didn’t mean I had to be happy about it. I decided to make finger sandwiches, with turkey and ham, then I put grapes and sliced oranges in a bowl as well. Even though Liv was healing and she did great in training today, she was still way too thin and needed to have some meat on her bones. Bones was all she was right now and it made me think that she must have been starved for a fair bit of time with how thin she was. I finished up making the sandwiches and just as I turned with the tray of food in my hand Cali was there, right in my face.

“Were you coming to see me with all of this? You always were so caring.” Cali said, smiling and then she lifted her hand up to touch me. She moved closer to me and I had to move the tray of food away from her.

“Cali, I told you that I found my mate, I’m taking this to her.” I replied, making myself clear, but she just shook her head at me.

“Oh please, she can’t pleasure you like I can. You know how you like it when I run my tongue over your neck and down your chest.” Cali said and I felt myself getting hard. Damn this girl, she knew how to turn me on. I put the tray of food down on the counter and then grabbed her, pushing her up against the wall. I wanted to and needed to f**k her until she was raw, but instead I looked into her bright green eyes and sighed.

“Cali, I have told you I have a mate, we are not going to f**k. Trust me, if I didn’t have a mate you would be bent over this counter with my d**k inside you, but my mate is waiting for me upstairs in our room, so get the f**k off me.” I said and shoved her to the wall. I turned and grabbed the tray of food, then walked to the door.

“I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE QUEEN!! NOT HER, ASSHOLE!!!” Cali screamed and I turned around to face her.

“And you wonder why I don’t want you as my mate, you’re crazy.” I said, walking out the kitchen and leaving her.

Cali’s P.O.V

I saw him go into the kitchen and I knew this was my chance. I missed him and wanted him so badly, so I stood behind him and waited for him to turn around and look at me. When I told him that I knew he missed me running my tongue over his body he reacted just like I expected him to, he pushed me up against the wall like he always did before. I thought I had him then and I was so ready to wrap my legs around his waist and feel him inside me as he thrust in and out, like he used to, but I was wrong. He talked about his mate instead and then just pushed me aside, like I was nothing to him.

“I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE QUEEN!! NOT HER, ASSHOLE!!!” I screamed out, but the response he gave me made my blood run cold. How dare he call me crazy. I was now more determined than ever to get rid of this new b***h, even if I needed to kill her to do it. I will have that crown and if I can’t have it then neither will she, I thought as I stormed to my room.

“So tell me, is it worth it?” A woman suddenly said, making me jump as I closed the door.

“Is what worth it?” I asked, confused as to what she was talking about.

“Destroying your home and your king, or are you having second thoughts and changing your mind now?” Liana asked and I shook my head.

“No, Liana, I haven’t changed my mind. I will have him for myself, whether I have to use magic or kill her to do it, but to tell you the truth I would much rather kill her.” I replied, smirking at the thought of wrapping my hands around that b***h’s neck and snapping it like a twig.

Liv’s P.O.V

The water in the bath was so hot when I stepped into it, but it also felt so good on my body. My bones were sore and my muscles ached from working out, but I had so much fun doing it. I laid my head back to relax and I must have been more tired than I thought because I had fallen asleep or something and the next thing I knew I felt someone running their hands through my hair. I blinked a few times and looked up to see Adonis standing there with a tray of food. He put the tray down on the counter and then grabbed a towel, coming back to help me out of the bath. I was a little nervous for him to see me like this, especially with all the scars that were littered all over my body. I wasn’t ready for this, but I still slowly stood up and the whole time Adonis looked into my eyes and not at my body. He wrapped the towel around me and picked me up, lifting me out of the bath and carrying me into the bedroom, sitting me on the edge of the bed. He went back into the bathroom and came back out with the tray of food, then put it on one of the nightstands.

“Liv, I know you hate your scars and I want you to be happy, so would you believe me if I told you that I could make those scars go away for you? All you would need to do is lay back and trust me just a little.” Adonis said and I immediately looked down at my feet and began playing with my hands. I hated my scars, but the idea of him seeing them, looking at the damage that was done to me for the rest of our lives made me shudder.

“If I do this, do you promise not to laugh? Just….just please don’t make fun of me.” I asked, almost pleading and he sighed.

“Liv, I would never make fun of you, especially where this is concerned. Just please lay back and try to relax. I promise I won’t hurt you.” Adonis replied and I nodded. I scooted all the way up the bed and laid back so that my head was now resting on the pillow, then I opened my towel up and showed him my body, with all the horrible scars.

Adonis’s P.O.V

I knew she was nervous about this, but I wanted to help her. She had been so self conscious and the scars her body held were a map of all the things she had been through, so I could understand why she wanted to get rid of them. When she opened her towel and laid there the only thing I could see was her beauty and I admit that all I wanted to do was mate with her and make her mine, but I managed to keep control. I looked up and down her body at all the scars and felt myself getting savage at what had been done to her. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and then softly touched her as I got onto the bed.

“I’m not going to do anything, okay, just let me do my work.” I said, gently opening her legs. I looked at her thighs and saw all the scars that looked like they had been done with a knife.

“Alpha Billy decided I wasn’t cooking fast enough, so he pushed me down and started cutting me with a silver knife, but silver didn’t bother me because I’m not a werewolf, so he just liked to cut me.” Liv said, but I didn’t say a word as I leaned down and started to lick each of the scars on her thighs, then I felt her flinch a little in fear, so I sat up a bit.

“Liv, you’re strong, just remember that I’m not going to hurt you.” I said and she nodded. I leaned back down, opening her legs wider and looked at her private area. I brushed my fingertip over the deep scar.

“Alpha Ozzy cut above it saying that I would never have kids if I wouldn’t have his. We got into a fight and a glass vase broke, so he took a shard of broken glass and dug it into me and the wound was so deep that I had to be stitched up.” Liv said and I shook my head, as I looked at the scar, then leaned down and licked it. I promised I wouldn’t hurt her, but I could smell her scent and I desperately wanted to taste her, so I lowered my head and inhaled her scent deeper into my nose. I wanted to give her just one lick, so I leaned down further to her honey hole and licked all the way up to her clit, then sucked on it slightly. I heard her softly moan as I leaned back up and then I saw her stomach and breasts. They were covered in scars of all different shapes, sizes and depths. I could heal each of these, but it was getting harder and harder for me to resist marking her. When dragons mark their mates we mark the breasts. I ran my finger across each of the scars and she flinched a little.

“Alpha Billy dragged me to one of his special rooms and tied me to the table, then he grabbed a belt. He whipped me repeatedly and the beating was so bad that it tore the skin and it never healed right.” Liv said and I nodded. I licked every single scar on her stomach and then moved to her breasts. I licked all the scars that were on her breasts, but I couldn’t help sucking on her n****e slightly and then it happened. I bit down and marked her, but she didn’t scream out or jump when I did this. When I had finished marking her I looked up at her.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it, I had to mark you as mine. Did I hurt you?” I asked, but she shook her head no.

“I’m used to pain, it doesn’t bother me anymore, but I thought that I was already yours due to what you are doing.” Liv replied and I smirked.

“Well, yeah, but the marking part makes it official.” I said and she chuckled.

“Well I guess that's a good thing then.” Liv replied and I was so thankful that she wasn’t angry or hurt. I couldn’t wait for her to finally feel good in her skin and feel as beautiful as I think and know she is.
