The Dragon Queen and her mates.
Chapter 183: Blood of wild

Chapter 183: Blood of wild

The sun had just fallen and the shimmering moon glittered in the sky like a shiny pearl, its luminescence bright enough to light the entire inn. Even though Yakov hadn’t allowed anyone to come inside the room, he has very carefully and skilfully lit the fire in the arched fireplace and currently except for the harsh breathing of two men and the crackle of the burning wood no sound came echoed in the room.

Blaise looked at Yakov while the latter looked back at him, both of them were standing next to Bree’s bed and looked as if they were caught in a stalemate. After a short while, Blaise took a step back and cheekily smiled at Yakov, " What’s wrong first consort?" Hands folded in front of his chest, his silvery eyes glittered with a threat like a lion eyeing his prey. He didn’t fear Yakov, the two of them were equally matched when it came to strength, even if the latter was to lunge at him at this very moment, Blaise knew that he would be able to take him down without wasting a breath but of course, he would be severely injured in the wake. Something he didn’t want which was the only reason why he hasn’t attacked Yakov even when the latter stopped him from getting close to his wife, his mate and the very existence for which he existed in this world.

" Are you trying to pick up a fight with me?" His words were light but Yakov could hear the threat that drummed within those words. Blaise was known to be eccentric and crazy, he did things his own way and never let anyone take hold of his reigns which was something that Yakov knew. Other than Queen Blaise has never listened to a thing anyone else has to say to him.

" I am not willing to pick up a fight with you third consort, I just think that it’s not a good idea for you to stay with the Queen at this moment you are far too impulsive and have no restraints on your desires, I fear that if I was to leave you alone with the Queen, it will only upset him even further." Yakov studied him with a calm face and had the nerve to smile at him as he said, " I do wish to let you have your chance to get close to the Queen but you are too explosive Blaise, you know that don’t you?"

Blaise knew exactly what he was saying, though he was the easiest to get along with, his heart was similar to a dark maze, many secrets hid inside his chest and he wasn’t even willing to accept Bree as his mate but did so because of obligations to his family. But has he ever accepted her as his wife and mate? In the bed of course because his family wanted to watch him seated on the throne of the Emperor. This was the only shot for them to revive back and for that, he needed more than just the title of the third consort he needed a child and a son at that.

But this wasn’t the reason why Yakov was stopping him, no. He and Yakov didn’t have much difference, in this case, the reason he called him explosive was because of his mother. Though his father has tried to make sure that no one found out about his mother and her ’craziness’, Yakov whose intel was top notch of course knew the truth about his family dynamics, knew what lay behind the weak and fragile mask of his mother and the wicked, sinful and awful bond that his parents shared with each other.

It was his throbbing nerve and if not for Bree sleeping in the same room, he would have gone for Yakov’s throat. He did not like talking about his mother, not all but Yakov loved reminding him of the past that he wanted to forget so much.

" Brutal as always first consort, went straight to the heart didn’t you?" Eyes glittering sharply Blaise looked at Yakov before squinting them slightly. " Is it because you think that I would not hurt you in the presence of the dragon queen or you are just plain stupid to bait an Archmage?"

"Neither." Yakov took a step forward and then started at Blaise in those steely greys while piercing them with his amber honeycombs. " The Queen has gone through a lot already today, third consort. I do not want her to deal with a little boy who has mommy issues."

Mommy issues. Little boy. The sentence was short but Yakov managed to shoot him with multiple jabs together, really his way to deal with his rivals with verbal arrows was really amazing.

Blaise had to summon all his patience to smile at Yakov when all he wanted was to place his hands on his throat and choke out of the freaking life of this smelly pup! But he calmly placed his hands behind his back and with a glare that was sharper than an arrow said, " Why not? It’s not like that I was going to sleep alone with her, if you mind it so much then you can sleep on the side as well together with us. That way, the Queen will wake up surrounded by handsome hunks in the early morning, what do you say ?"

" I say that if you really think that you can sleep with your eyes closed when I am next to you, then you are dreaming."

" Yeah, I am dreaming ...dreaming of making you a tiny husky and sending you to a pet house."

The two men stared at each until Blaise finally grinned displaying a single dimple in his cruelly cut face as he smiled. " Very well, I can see that first consort really dislikes the presence of this one, then I will be happy to leave."

" Go and ask anyone who would like staying in the same room as someone with the blood of the wild." Yakov shot back ever so smoothly causing Blaise to clench his fingers but maybe the blow wasn’t enough because a second later Yakov added, " I do not wish you going crazy in the middle of the night and troubling the queen, after all trusting you with her when she is in this situation, I would rather leave her with a mad dog. He will be a much safer option than someone with the same blood as that woman."

Blaise’s smile stiffened as he stiffly said, " I didn’t choose her to be my parent and she was punished for what she did."

" You call that punishment?" Yakov smiled at him like he was some sort of small pup that needed coaxing before his smile was replaced with a frown as he swiftly said, " If it was up to me she wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the prison with her head intact, for what she did she deserved nothing less than the death penalty. And if you think that her current punishment is enough, then I will ask you to wake up."

Then he smiled as he snapped his fingers and then Aileen walked inside the room before placing the silver tray with a reddish lump in the centre. Blaise of course knew what it was ——- a human heart, he raised his head and looked at Yakov who was smiling at him with cold eyes. " I especially asked Aileen to prepare this for you, I heard you grew up eating this ... so as a reward for your hard work I thought that recreating the taste of your childhood memories, I hope that you will like it."

Blaise looked at the freshly ripped heart that was still pumping before he chuckled under his breath and picked up the heart from the plate and squeezed it until it burst. Blood splattered all over the room covering him and Yakov but neither of them flinched nor did they take away their gazes off each other.

He threw the bloody pulp on the ground with a grin and winked at Yakov. " I have to say that I really appreciate first consort trying so hard for me but for the next time it would be better to get me a normal meal. I am a grown-up now, the tastes of my childhood have already faded."

Yakov took out the handkerchief from his pocket and calmly wiped the blood off his face and said, " Is that so? Then I apologise. I think I have done something wrong because of my misjudgment."

"It’s all right." Blaise smiled and the dimple returned before he turned around and walked out of the room. " Everyone has a weakness or two, first consort," he suddenly said after reaching the threshold of the room and turned to look at the two men behind him and winked with a cheeky grin. " Make sure to hide them well because I am banking on them."

As he finished speaking, Blaise walked out of the room, the smile dripping off his face.
