Everyone Feared The Alpha King's Dragon — She Healed It, And He Chose Her As His Bride / Chapter 10 / 10

Chapter 10 - THE PAINBEARER QUEEN

Three months later, the sky above the Black Keep was clear and bright blue.

The dark, gloomy fortress had been transformed. Banners of gold and crimson draped from the tall obsidian spires, floating gently in the mountain breeze. Thousands of citizens, nobles, and liberated prisoners packed the castle courtyard, cheering until their throats were hoarse.

In the royal sanctuary, Vera stood before a mirror, looking at her reflection.

She wore a gown of woven gold and white silk, crowned with a wreath of dragon-glass and winter roses. Her wrists were clean, smooth, and free of any dark marks.

The heavy oak doors opened, and Valdrich walked in.

He wore his ceremonial royal robes, but his eyes were soft as he looked at her. He walked up behind her, placing his broad hands gently on her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Are you ready, My Queen?" he asked softly.

"I used to sit in a dirty iron cage, waiting for the butcher," Vera murmured, turning around in his arms to look up into his steel eyes. "Now I am marrying the butcher."

Valdrich laughed softly, a bright, genuine sound. "I am a butcher only to those who threaten what is mine. And you, Vera... you are my heart."

He took her hand, leading her out onto the grand balcony that overlooked the vast, beautiful realm of Veldaris.

The crowd erupted into wild cheers as the Alpha King and his Painbearer Queen stepped into the sunlight. High above them, circling the mountain peaks with endless grace and freedom, flew Synindrath, his majestic black scales sparkling like diamonds in the sun.

The dragon swooped low over the balcony, letting out a deep, harmonious roar of blessing, sweeping a warm gust of wind over the couple.

I stepped down from a classified military transport and headed directly to the ICU, where my wife was lying with twenty-seven broken bones and a fractured skull. Outside her hospital room, her mother and six sisters stood smiling as though they were waiting for lunch to arrive. The detective assigned to her case leaned in and whispered, "Captain, this family practically controls the entire county." I stared through the glass at my wife's bruised and swollen face before answering, "Good. Because my authority extends far beyond this county."

Valdrich pulled Vera into his arms, dipping her slightly as he sealed their union with a deep, passionate kiss.

The girl who had walked into the dragon's den to die had not only healed the beast—she had conquered the heart of the most ruthless King in the world, bringing light, healing, and peace to a realm that would sing her name for a thousand generations.

I arrived late to Christmas because a snowplow had blocked Route 9, only to stop outside the dining room and hear my own father raise a glass to my absence. My sister laughed that nobody wanted me there, my mother toasted to a “peaceful Christmas,” and the whole room cheered inside a house they had apparently forgotten belonged to me—so I stepped back into the snow, called my attorney, and gave him the instruction I had spent weeks hoping I would never need to use.
