What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

” I am going to get some groceries and supplies.”

There wasn’t any more food in the house. So this was an emergency. I just let Draco know before slipping out. He was still in a very bad mood.

It took too much troll on his pride when I finished explaining the ‘ police ‘ thing to him. He was angrier and irritated than he was before.

” How dare you threaten me with something as trivial and as weak as you human beings! ”

He had insulted my species so many times since we met that I had honestly lost count. So instead of protesting, I just let him win this time. I needed some space from him, so slipping away to the market was the perfect alibi.

It felt great to get the sun on my earth. The smell of the green leaves. The muddy ground below my feet. The stench from the local market. Everything felt so real.

It was different from the Dragon Kingdom.

Draco’s land was far more beautiful. It was almost perfectly beautiful. And perhaps that what made it awkward for me. For an imperfect being like myself, my imperfect earth was more appealing.

I hopped and jumped through the street as a bunch of kids laughed at me. I made a face at them. It must have scared them. They ran away in the opposite direction.

I looked around. Usually I don’t get to win in such street fights. May be staying in the Dragon world did infuse my system with some super aura, super power to acre whose children beasts away at most.

I wanted to stay outdoors a little more but I wasn’t sure what ruckus that Draco might be stirring back at home. So I dragged myself with the load that I had bought.

Dragged it to the front door and went straight in with my spare key without bothering to knock.

As I neared the drawing room, the scene that met my eyes, almost made me fall.

” Mother… Mum! ”

I didn’t know how I aught to address her anymore.

She was wearing her signature leopard printed top. With a black pencil skirt and matching black glasses. She had her legs over my table. Glaring at Draco.

Draco!

Oh my Gosh!

He was held down by two of my mother’s body guards.

What the Hell!

” Dracoooooo! ”

I ran in his direction, wondering why the place had not yet turned into a rubble. They were pinning him down by his head and both hands.

” Let go off him! ”

I yelled in a thunder and ordered.

They looked at my mother for permission. She ignored them and turned towards me.

” Is he the reason you have been missing for three months? Missing college and ignoring my phone calls?”

Three months?

I heard that time went differently in my world and the dragon realm but how differently, I had no idea.

I dared to sneak a peek at Draco. I could not see his eyes because they were pinning him down but he wanted to burn us. I could sense that. He wanted to burn not only my place but the entire neighborhood, if not the planet.

But why was he not? Was he being considerate. That was highly unlikely. I could not understand the reason of his restrain.

Then I looked around. Damian. It must be for Damian.

” Mother where is Damian? ”

” Damian who? ”

My mother’s voice was as pungent as ever.

“My boy. His son. Where is he? ”

It didn’t take me long to notice that he was missing.

” Your boy? His son? What hellish kind of rubbish is that? ”

Her tone made me sick. It always did. Acknowledging her as a mother was too much for me .ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I held her shoulders tightly.

” I AM NOT JOKING AROUND MRS. LIPPER! ”

That’s the name I called her by before I left home right after father.

” TELL ME WHERE MY SON IS? ”

Last time I did that, she seemed distraught. But this time it had no effect.

” YOUR SON? ”

She dared to retort back at me.

” That must be this moron’s son. He gave you a fake family so he could seduce you into marriage and get all your properties. Come on Liana. Wake up! It’s a trap!

He is using you! ”

” God Damn it! Just tell me where Damian is. Don’t assume you know everything about my life and don’t assumed everybody is after money like you were after father’s ”

What I said was worse than a slap on her face. But she did not break even then.

“I have lived enough to tell love and advantage. There is no love in his man’s eye. There is only greed. That’s it.”

I was done. I wasn’t taking anymore.

I held her shoulders till she was pinned against myself and the table behind her.

” Where is Damian? ”

She knew I wasn’t going to let her go without an answer.

” Right where he should belong. With a father like this and no mother. ”

” Where is he? ”

My voice rumbled at the mention of him being motherless. Never. Not when I was living.

” I sent him off to an orphanage! ”

” WHAT! ”

I pushed her off. Went straight for Draco, pushing the body guards away.

” Let him go. Let him go. ”

I needed his help to get Damian back.

Damn it! Draco! Now was the time to use your powers. Why the hell was he slugging away?

” There is no need for that Liana! ”

My mother had straightened herself again.

” The cops are coming here to arrest him. ”

She looked at her watch and smiled.

” Don’t worry. They will be here any minute.

I am sure they will not keep you and me waiting. ”

I fell on the floor beside Draco .

Now I could look straight in his eyes.

There were too many emotions in them.

I was trying but I could not read any.

” Come on Draco. Use your powers. You don’t need to hold back just because she is my mother! ”

He turned his face to look at me with wonder.

” Did you think I was not doing anything because this bitch was your mother?

Hell No!

The reason everyone in this room is still breathing is because….. it is because I am unable to use my powers! ”

” WHAT! ”

The floor beneath me seemed like it was caving in.

I was gaping.

I was gasping.

” What! Why? ”

It felt like I was about to loose consciousness.
