The Dragon King’s Substitute Bride

“Take off your clothes”

“M…my…Lord, can we…do this tomorrow?”

Her voice is lower than he expected, a sultry candence that his body physically reacts to.

His voice is gruff when he grabs her chin roughly, fingers digging into her cheeks, breaking the skin and drawing blood.

“That will be the last and only time I will tolerate disobedience.”

“Am I clear?”

She doesn’t respond only nods, tears he does not understand rolling down her cheeks.

“I said am…. I…. clear?”

She raises her head and looks at him, chin lifted in silent defiance, her light blue eyes meeting his liquid gold.

He isn’t aware of when he pulls her against him, her softness pressing against the hardness of his bare chest but when he crushes his lips against hers, his want becomes need.

The Kingdom of Averia, Long plagued by the dragon Ryders of the 5th realm and their fierce beasts will finally know peace.

But it is peace that comes at a price too steep to pay.

What the Dragon King demands is near impossible.

And now the King of Averia has only two options, give out his only child, and heir to the throne to be wed to a monster in order to save his people or let them die at the hand of the cruel, heartless Midas.

But could there be another way out?

When Hera is forced into marrying the one responsible for all her pain, she vows to get revenge.

Dragon King or not.

Besides, the bigger they are, the harder the fall.

She just has to not die first.
