Mated To The Imperial Dragon Heir

chapter 5: Untitled

Jayce POV

I tried stopping Deforest from beating Kianna but he wouldn't listen. He seems deranged to the extent he can't control his emotions anymore and I think the dragon inside him has taken over.

I never expected Kianna to be mated to Deforest and I wasn't surprised when Deforest rejected her. I only felt bad when Deforest didn't want her to accept the rejection calmly.

He is placed in high hope as the dragon heir and I don't have any problem with that after all we are brothers.

I don't feel good anytime we abuse Kianna. Yes I know she is a slave but sometimes I feel bad for constantly making life miserable for a woman just to make my brother happy.

I held Deforest hand in the air and his eyes sent chills down my body.

I looked away and let go of his hand. No matter how hard I tried, I can't seem to stop him from hitting Kianna with the whip.

A satisfactory laugh escaped Deforest lips as he exited the room after exhausting his strength.

I turned back to see Kianna falling to the ground and I quickly rushed forward and catch her.

Her eyes were closed and blood was trickling all over her body.

" Hey open your eyes" I said in a hushed tone and moving her jaw but got no response from her.

I had always hidden my true strength and tried not to challenge Deforest because I don't want any conflict in the empire.

I have been working so hard in the empire for a year now to see if I could get a chance and send Kianna back to her pack.

When I saw how she was ridiculed by the others in the party, I felt bad and wanted to step forward and help her but my imperial dragon friends stopped me.

This party was the best chance for me to send her out of the empire but I never expected Deforest to beat her to this stage.

I tried to make her conscious but to no avail.

Beads of cold sweats formed on my face as I dared not think of the impossible. My palms sweat profusely as I constantly shook kianna's body.

" Come on wake up" I grunted out of frustration. I can feel my dragon groaning inside me and I know I'm going to lose control over it if I don't do anything now.

I have never revived an unconscious person before and I don't know what to do to make Kianna conscious.

The dragon inside me is not helping matters as he kept groaning in my head.

I saw a bucket of water by the side and I stretched my hand forward to get it.

I sprinkled the water all over her face and a gasp escaped her lips. I let out a huge sigh of relief as I watch her open her eyes slowly.

Thank goodness, she was able to regain consciousness.

Right now, all I just want to do is take care of her.

I fixed my gaze on her face and I felt bad for making life miserable for her. All I can see in her eyes was a young girl with beautiful soul seeking for love and care. Her eyes were shallow with emptiness. It looks as if there was no life in them and that scared the hell out of me.

I lift my hand slowly and pushed the hair which was wet with blood away from her face. I tried hard not to graze her bruised skin with my fingers and tucked the hair behind her ear.

For the first time, I saw the beauty that hide behind those tears and constant fright.

" Are you okay?" I asked restlessly with my eyes not leaving hers.

" I'm not okay. I feel pains all over and it's killing me" she replied slowly with a weak voice and my heart stings.

" You will be fine okay" I said caressing her cheek and she wrinkle her face in pains.

" I'm sorry" I apologized to her and retreat my hand.

" Declan" she called and I felt overwhelmed for hearing her call my name for the first time.

I don't care if she called my name in a weak state, all I care is that, someone actually called my name with sincerity and actually made it sound melodious.

" I'm here Kiana" I replied with a hoarse voice .

" Thank you for being so good to me" She said slowly and I felt a pang in my chest.

" I've never treated you good Kianna, I constantly abuse you with my brother" I replied feeling guilty and I felt like hiding from her sight.

" You constantly abused me because Deforest forced you to do it. " she mumbled and I wondered how she knew I was always forced by Deforest to abuse her.

" How did you know?" I asked with a rasp voice and she smiled faintly at me.

" I know you are not a bad guy because you always try to stop Deforest from beating me. You may not show it but deep down I know you are a good person who's forced to do evil." Kianna enunciate each word and for the first time my eyes welled up with tears.

" Stop saying that Kianna" i whispered and looked away abruptly.

" The ointment, I knew all along that you are the sender. You are the only one who had showed me true care. You are the only one who always sends me medicine anytime I'm seriously injured or sick. You are the only one who will always try to speak up for me.

If not for you Declan, I would have died long ago, I would have died from cold, I would have died from serious bruises and injuries.

Thank you for being so good to me Declan.

If there is second chance, I hope you Declan Dwayne will be my mate" I listened to her every word and I couldn't stop my eyes from moistening.

" If there is second chance, I hope you will be my mate" She said again and her eyes shut back slowly.

" No Kianna please wake up. You can't die Kianna please wake up" I cried shaking her body vigorously and the dragon in me loosed hell.
