The Dragon Queen and her mates.
Chapter 94: If it’s not her

Chapter 94: If it’s not her

"I don’t know," said Cian as he moved his drink in jerky circles on the bar, letting the tinkling ice cool his drink even further than it already was after his brother dropped the ultimatum to get his mate pregnant and solidify his position as the Emperor, Cian felt like his entire heart was on fire, he was hoping that these chilled drinks would help him soothe the fire that was burning in him but oh so not miraculously it had done nothing of the sort to help him. " I wish I did but I don’t, after all, it was no longer the same as before."

He didn’t know how things went so downhill in just a short amount of time but they somehow did, like a major suck ass. In his opinion, the only thing that he might have ever done wrong was getting entangled with those three idiots who came up with the plan of dethroning the Queen, in fact, he was very much aware of the real plan that was going on in their heads and that was the only reason he agreed with the three of them but never did he expected that things will come down to this point.

Now here he was singing songs for a woman who wouldn’t even give a measly fuck if he was to die tonight. Which was why Cian wanted to lock the Dragon Queen up in his palace until she learned how much he loved her and see how her actions have hurt him but of course, he didn’t live in the world where everything will just go according to his will and that was why he was standing in the middle of the pub that his assassination guild ran having a pity party with whiskey and wine on the table with his ex guild mates.

Trying to dispel the uneasy feeling in his heart, he took a long pull of his whiskey and turned to look at Dominic who was shining with a healthy glow on his deep brown skin and excitement glimmering in his eyes. God, how he was jealous of this man who could get his needs fulfilled when he wanted and here he was on his knees with a bowl in his hands waiting for the Queen to look at him and give him the attention he deserved but then again just because he wasn’t getting what he wanted he couldn’t act as a begrudger and rain on his friend’s party. " So, your plans for the night are the same?"

Dominic did a small dance with his arms on his seat that made his originally buff physique look even more buffer than usual accompanied by a small wink. " betcha, I have the very same plan as every night, I am going to find myself a hottie mommy and we are going to do a very ..very..very close dance all night. And I have some very good plans for tonight," he looked around before fishing out a handcuff. " special shifter-resistant cuffs won’t be and can’t be broken unless I open them with a key."

Cian perked up as he looked at the cuffs and then stared at his friend. " What the—— please tell me you are joking?"

" Nope," putting the cuff back Dominic winked at him. "I have been busy with a stupid assignment for weeks, you have no idea how hard it was for me to end the life of that dark mage with the bounty of ten thousand gold coins, I almost died it’s my good luck that I was able to get back here alive, so I am going to let loose nice and hard." Then he paused and tilted his head. " By the way, you were not looking this enthusiastic before when I was talking to you, as soon as cuffs entered in the chat you perked up real quick huh. I would have shared it with you but you are going through a drought at the moment, giving you these would be like giving a nymph raincoat."

" Can you lower your voice?" Cian hissed. " What will others think if they find out that I—- the most seductive assassin of the guild is having trouble seducing his own mate?"

Dominic stared at him and then sucked in a breath causing Cian to shake his head. " Don’t you dare."

" Dryyyy nightssss for a sireennnnnn~" Dominic belted out like an opera singer and as if he was worried that everyone will get confused between Cian and another non-existent siren in the pub, he even used both his hands to point at him, making sure that all the attention was drawn to Cian.

Cian twisted in his stool and banged his head on the table. " You know if you have died I wouldn’t have missed you, not even in the slightest asshole."

" My, my what a graceful language from the prince of Bellion... and maybe try lying better next time, I am sure that you will have missed me so much that you would have pinned for me."

"Yeah, I would have missed you so much that I would have sent all the evidence of your cheating to your exes and made sure that they spat on your grave."

" Brutal," winced Dominic with a wicked smile but when Cian’s mood didn’t improve, Dominic sighed. " Why are you even trying so hard Cian? If she doesn’t want you then it’s all right, I am pretty sure she doesn’t care what you do," he motioned his hand around the dance floor where many Tasmanian devils shifters were dancing. " She has already broken the already broken jar, if it bothers you so much then you can have your fun, since she definitely doesn’t care about you, then maybe have a little fun and give her exactly what she gave you."

Cian raised his head and looked at the platinum blonde woman who was winking at him motioning him to come close but then he ducked his head and drowned the last of his whiskey. " It wouldn’t be the same, I don’t want to sleep with just anyone Dominic," tilting his head he looked at his friend with a soft yet aggrieved smile. " If it’s not her then I don’t want those pleasures."
