What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

I woke up to the darkness that surrounded me, my heart beating faster than ever before. It was just a dream, but the pain was so real that it felt like a living nightmare. I closed my eyes and tried to shake off the thoughts that consumed me since I had seen her lifeless face but I couldn’t escape them.

In my dream, I saw her again. She was as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were lifeless. She was dead. And I couldn’t help but feel responsible for her death.

I got up and stretched my wings, the muscles aching from the tension. I walked to the edge of my cave and stared out into the darkness, trying to calm my racing thoughts. Suddenly, I heard a voice.

“L-Lucian?” The voice was weak and trembling, but it was very familiar. It was Liana’s voice.

I turned around as swiftly as I could and saw her – Liana, the human woman who stole my heart. She was standing at the entrance of my cave, her eyes fixed on me. For a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. I just stared at her, wondering if this was another dream.

“Lucian,” she called again, taking a few steps towards me. “It’s really me.”

I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes as I looked at her. “You’re… you’re alive?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

She nodded, a small smile on her lips. “Yes, I am. Draco saved me. He risked everything to bring me back.”

I felt a surge of emotions rushing through me – relief, joy, love, guilt, hatred, anger… all at once.

“Liana, I’m so relieved that you’re back,” I said, my voice shaking. “I thought I had lost you forever.”

I tried to pull her into an embrace.

She took my hand in hers, instead and looked into my eyes. “Lucian, I’m glad to see you too. But there’s something I need to tell you.”

I nodded, feeling a sense of apprehension. “What is it?”

I felt guilt overriding all my other emotions as she mentioned that to me. I immediately rushed to become defensive,

“I’m sorry,” I said, my voice shaking as I pulled my hand out of her grip. “I’m sorry for what I did. I betrayed Draco, and I couldn’t protect you.”

She took my clawed hand in hers and looked into my eyes again. “Lucian, it’s not your fault. I made my own choices. I never had feelings for you, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t care for you.”

I nodded, tears streaming down my face. “I know. And I care for you too, more than I ever let on. But I didn’t want to come between you and Draco. I didn’t want to cause any trouble. But I should have. I should have stolen you from him. I should have kept you shelled. I should have been there to protect you. I let you put yourself between him and that blade.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She squeezed my hand, her eyes filled with compassion. “Lucian, you didn’t cause any pain. You’re not responsible for what happened. Draco and I had our own struggles.”

I nodded, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. “I’m glad you’re okay,” I said, my voice still choked up. “I missed you. I thought I had lost you forever.”

She took another deep breath before speaking. “Lucian, I know how you feel about me. And I need you to know that I don’t feel the same way. I care for you deeply, but not in the way that you want me to.”

I felt a pang of disappointment, but I tried to keep my composure. “I understand, Liana. But please know that my feelings for you will never change. I love you, and I always will.”

She looked at me with a mixture of sadness and understanding. “Lucian, I appreciate your honesty. But I need you to know that Draco is my mate. He’s the one I love.”

I knew that. Dman it girl! Did you need to remind me that even in death?

But I nodded even while, feeling a sense of resignation and disgust at the statement. “I know. I’ve always known. But that doesn’t change how I feel about you.”

I yelled.

She took a step closer to me, her eyes softening. “Lucian, I need you to know that I care for you. But we can only be friends. You need to accept that.”

I felt a sense of defeat, but I nodded. “I know. I’ll try my best to honour that, Liana. But please know that you’ll always hold a special place in my heart .”

She nodded, as a tear rolled down her cheek. “Thank you, Lucian. That means a lot to me. And I’m glad we can still be friends.”

I smiled at her, feeling a sense of closure. “Me too, Liana. Me too.”

She smiled at me, and for a moment, it was like we were the only two creatures in the world, in the universe. “I missed you too, Lucian. But I’m here now. I came back to say my final goodbye.”

I felt a warm sensation spreading through my chest as I embraced her, tears still streaming down my face. I had always known that this was in reality a dream and that she was not real but I refused to believe that.

“Thank you,” I said, my voice barely audible. “Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for being here.”

I grabbed her and pinned her to my chest.

And to my surprise, she hugged me back, and we stayed like that for a long time.
