Dare To Love A Dragon - Chapter 91

“Good morning and a happy birthday, my darling.”

Ander turned around to see his mother standing behind him with the servants carrying his breakfast.

He ran to her and gave her a tight hug. He had missed the warmth of his mother, with all the anger he had been feeling. He was blinded by rage that he couldn’t see how much she loved him.

“What is this for?” she asked.

“For being the best mother in the world,” he praised.

“You are in a good mood. Tell me, what happened to you.”

“I’m sorry. For all the bad things that I said to you. You are the best mom ever,” he said all smiles. “I love you mom, don’t ever stop being a good mother to me,” he added.

“Let’s have breakfast,” she told and took him by the hand and led him to the balcony. They sat down with the sun beating down on them and enjoyed the tea.

“He loves me,” he began to say.

“Who my child?”

“Father, he cares for me. Deep down underneath all that anger that he feels for me. He loves me,” he let out.

He looked up to the sky, the sky was blue with few white clouds. The clouds made a lot of different shapes, one of them even looked like a castle.

The way his father stood for him and cared for him made his heart swell with joy. It wasn’t a big thing what he did but the fact that he wasn’t pushed away meant the world to him.

“I am glad to hear you say that,” his mother said.

“It made me think overnight and I have a surprise for dad. Today at my party I will announce it,” he informed her. “I want father and Francis to be together. That way I can have them both for myself,” he added.

“Are you sure baby?”

“Yes, I’m going to go and tell Avan right away. He should know that from today we will be brothers,” he said. He set his cup of tea down on the table and ran off without saying goodbye to his mother.

He rushed out of the room in a hurry and ran to find Avan. He looked around the palace for the boy.

“Hey, have you seen Avan?” he questioned the maid.

“He went out with Ella and your uncle. Your uncle said he wanted to hunt you a deer for your birthday,” the maid replied.

“I see.”

Ander walked away feeling down that he was able to tell Avan the good news but maybe he will be able to tell him with the rest of the family at his party.

“You seem happy,” he heard a sweet voice say at the corner in front of him. He rushed forward to find the source of the voice only to come face to face with the faceless person who calls himself god.

“You.”

“Why are you so happy?” he asked.

“Because of you. If you hadn’t shown up in my life when you did. My eyes would still be clouded with anger that I wouldn’t be able to see the truth,” he told excitedly.

“I’m glad I was so helpful,” the male said repressing the frown on his face. He smiled not wanting Ander to see how angry he was.

“Not just that I want my father and Francis to get married together. That way I will have immense love from both of them and Avan will love me too, I will his brother so he will have to shower me with love,” Ander said happily unable to stop himself from stopping after she started talking.

“It makes me happy to see that you are so happy. But I would celebrate just yet if I were you,” he said causing Ander to frown with displeasure in his face.

“Why do you say that. Look, I know why you would think that even I thought that but after yesterday. I know that my father cares for me and he deserves to be with the one he loves and I shouldn’t stand in his way,” he explained.

“True but for every action, there is a reaction. Think about it, he protected you for a second, and now you think that he is the best father in the wo….”

“What are you trying to say?” Ander asked interrupting him. He didn’t like where he was going with the conversation and the way he spoke about his father.

“Not much, it’s pretty obvious for someone with a brain to see what happened. Your father has hated you since the day you were born and all of a sudden he stands up for you. It seems like he is playing you,” he said.

“Why are you so negative?”

“Let me show you,” he said. He took Ander’s hands and together they went over to the throne room. They stood and watched the excitement of all the people in the room. It was as if they were invincible since the others couldn’t see them.

“Are you sure of what you are saying?” Alex asked Sofia.

“Yes, Ander wants the two of you to reunite,” she informed them.

The queen mother poured a glass of wine for everyone in the room to celebrate the good news. She was so happy that the future had changed and that she wouldn’t have to watch her grandson kill her son.

“I’m so happy for the two of you,” Malia said giving a kiss to both Alex and Francis.

“Thank you,” they both said in unison.

“Congratulations brother,” Mordecai said filling his cup with more wine.

“I love you, baby,” Francis said sweetly to Alex.

“Baby?”

“You once told me that you hated it when I call you with your name so now I have a pet name for you. I love you,” Francis explained lovingly to him.

Ander watched everything, he smiled at how beautiful and happy his family looked. Ge just wanted to jump out of the corner and embrace his family. He wished more than anything to be a part of their happiness. To smile with them and feel the love.

“They look so happy, it means that I am making the right decision,” Ander said.

“True but that’s because you are looking at it the wrong way. There is more than one way to kill a rat, my dear,” the faceless god said and took him away from the room.

He took him to his father’s room and waved his hand in the air, the whole conversation the king had with the queen became visible to him.

“Now do you see what happened? Your father did what he needed to do to get the one he loved and that is exactly what happened.”

Ander closed his eyes letting the tears fall from his eyes. “All of them said and did what they wanted you to hear and see so that you can give them what they want,” he added.

Ander felt the world going round, he was dizzy from all the things he was hearing from the male’s lips.

“I wish they loved you, Ander, you are beautiful and you deserve all the love in the world,” he said to him. “Let me give you the life that they can never give you,” he said twisting Ander by the shoulders and pulling him for a long hug.

‘My deepest apologies Ander but I can’t have you let go of the negative energy within you. You are my perfect match, I have never met anyone more beautiful than you. Body and heart and you can only be mine,’ he thought.

“I will destroy them for this betrayal,” Ander said angrily. He let go and cried in the male’s arms. “I hate them all for this,” he added.

“They are liars and you shouldn’t put your trust in them. I have an idea,” the male whispered in his ear before taking him away from his father’s room. “Are you okay with that?” he questioned and Ander nodded.

They returned to Ander’s room to get ready for Ander’s birthday party.

“You can call me Amaru,” he said while he helped Ander to take a bath. He poured water down Ander soft skin and washed his back. He massaged Ander’s shoulders to calm him down but nothing he did made the tears in Ander’s eyes stop flowing.

He inhaled the negative energy in the air to his fill, it was energy so powerful that he felt satiated with just one sniff. He loved it and was glad that he got Ander in his control before he went ahead and let go of all the bitterness in his heart.

It was that darkness that connected them. It called to him and brought him to Arimelari and he had no plans to leave ever again.

“It will be fine darling. You have me now and I only love you. I love you a lot,” he whispered in Ander’s ears in a seductive voice.

“Do you love just me?” Ander asked turning his head to face Amaru. “There is no one else but me?” he asked and Amaru nodded.

“I promise, it’s only you,” he said and sealed the promise with a kiss.
