His mate was seated beside the dragon king. She was dressed in a almost nude attire. An artire that covered only her breasts and waist, leaving her legs,stomach and shoulders bare.
"Columbus, what is the meaning of this?"Damon yelled at the Dragon king as his eyes blazed red.
"Damon. I wasn't expecting you"Columbus replied with a surprised smirk as he sipped the wine in his hand.
Columbus was the legendary black rose dragon. The last of his kind. He had long black hair with silver eyes and scars that had formed tattoos on his body. He was very muscular and a strong six pack. He wore black robes that covered his lower body while his upper body was bare and adorned with jewels.
Damon glared at Columbus before glancing at Diana, who seemed surprisingly quiet.
"She's my mate Columbus"he roared,making the dragon king laugh.
"Really, she was a gift from Lord Kiron. She was sent here as punishment for disobeying him. I would have sent her to the ice mountains but she was too pretty to send."he spoke as he tucked a strand of Diana hair behind her head, making Damon growl.
Columbus smiled mischievously and looked at Damon. "Can I keep her?"
"No"Damon replied coldly as he marched up to Diana. He lifted her from the throne she sat on and carried her in his arms. "I'm taking her with me"he said and started walking away.
Columbus didn't like the idea and signalled the guards to block their path. "Sorry,I can't let that" he stood up from his throne and walked slowly towards him.
Venom, karl and Michael immediately took their stance beside the king, ready to defend.
"What's the meaning of this Columbus? You wouldn't want to cause misunderstandings between our Kingdoms"Damon yelled as he held Diana tightly.
"Exactly Damon.... That woman is going to be my future queen and the ruler of the Dragon empire"he announced and Damon glared at him.
"Impossible,she's my mate. She isn't some toy for you."he shouted,making Columbus scoff.
"Fine, if you want to take her. I'll allow you on one condition"he said as he circled Damon and the others.
"What condition?"Damon asked.
"A duel. Whoever wins,owns her and the loser shall swear loyalty to the winner"Columbus said and Damon immediately agreed without a second thought.
"I agree but she stays with me until the duel"Damon said and Columbus nodded. "We duel at midnight "
"Take the guests to their rooms"he ordered immediately to a nearby servants and walked back to his throne. He looked at the back of Damon carrying the woman with a mischievous smile.
"Damon"he called loudly. "The necklace on her neck prevents your mate from speaking "
Damon froze on the spot for a moment and looked at Diana who hasn't said a word since. It confirmed Columbus's words. He immediately use a hand and yanked the necklace off, shattering it to pieces.
Diana coughed slightly before speaking
"Finally, I'm back again.".
They all reached the guest bedroom and Damon gently set her down on the bed. Kael walked and knelt down in front of her. "My queen.. are you okay?"
"I'm fine."Diana replied as she looked at the red hair demon in front of her.
Kael nodded as Damon sat beside her "What happened? And tell me everything" he said firmly as he held her hands.
