Chapter 39: Nikolai
“Everything is ready for the coronation,” Draq advised me as he and Dru entered into my office.
I was relieved when the nurses told me that the twins would make a full recovery. We had been in each others’ lives for so long that I couldn’t imagine not having them by my side. Even though their wounds were deep and their powers almost non existent they recovered quickly, showing the true power of a dragon. The nurses watched in awe as they began to shed their damaged skin, and new skin emerged, this skin appearing slightly scaled, a clear indicator that their life force had merged with that of their dragon.
“Before the coronation there is something we must tell you. Something about your mate.” Dru expression solemn.
“About my mate?” I asked in confusion, I wasn’t aware that my mate had such a strong relationship with the twins.
“We met her once.” Draq speaks up seeing my look of confusion, “A very long time ago.”
“Before we knew you.” Dru replies before he begins to tell me the tale of how they met my mate and revived her family, and how an orb had told him that Mary was destined for greatness.
