Meanwhile, Oriana and Arlan returned to the cottage Arlan had built for her before the marking ceremony. However, neither of them had been able to go there due to Oriana's abduction, and the marking ceremony had taken place in an unusual manner in the Demon realm.
When they arrived, neither had the will to admire the beautiful nest the Dragon had built for his mate.
As they settled in bed, Oriana noticed Arlan looked troubled.
She wrapped her arm around his waist, placed her head against his chest, and said, "I have a feeling everything will be fine."
Arlan hummed. "But when powers are involved, uncertainty is always there. I just hope we return without losing anything from our side."
"We will."Just then, Arlan sensed something. The Dragon inside him grew alert at the feeling of someone intruding on his territory.
Oriana felt his restlessness and asked, "What happened?"
Arlan stood up from the bed and headed out of the cottage, ready to attack if it was someone unknown.
