Ashton is fully aware of her little schemes, it's not every day a dragon get's its still beating heart ripped out, then is bound to the land it ruthlessly conquered.

Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her grandmother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories.

Elize looked dreamily at the sea and said, "This looks too beautiful to be real."  "No Liz," said Caleb. Elize turned her gaze to meet him, and he was... mesmerized. In a breathy voice, he said, "You are… surreal. Do you know when I saw you for the first time, I thought I had met an angel?"  Her cheeks became pink like the sky outside. A smile tugged her lips up as his sunstruck eyes held her gaze. "When I first saw you, I was done for my life. Your blond hair, those sharp curves— it all acted like a magnet." His heart thudded in its ribcage and his pulse raced. She took a sip of her wine with trembling hands without realizing that it wasn't blood.  "And that instant I knew you were my mate. And that instant I knew that I could die looking at you."  There was so much intensity in his words that Elize's heart raced for this beautiful man. She wanted to go to him and place a kiss on his lips. Her flute shook on its way to her lips. She drained it absentmindedly and her head became dizzy immediately. Caleb came to her side the next instant. He took the glass from her and placed it on the table. Stroking her back softly, he apologized to her for giving her the champagne. She coughed a little and some tears poured out in response when she felt the burn of the wine in the back of her throat. But Caleb had paled so much by that time that she couldn't help giggling. "Since you didn't remember, it is your punishment that you drink the entire bottle of wine and then next."  ---- Book cover by Micehellwd. Copyrights belong to me.

What is the relationship between hunger and hunger?
Hunger is a complex physiological and psychological phenomenon in human beings, which is related to multiple factors. **I. Physiological Factors** 1. **Metabolism** - The body's basal metabolic rate plays a crucial role. A higher basal metabolic rate means the body burns more energy at rest. For example, people with more muscle mass generally have a higher basal metabolic rate. Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue. When the body's energy consumption exceeds the intake, it will send out hunger signals. For instance, athletes or those who engage in intense physical labor often have a higher energy demand, and they are more likely to feel hungry due to their high - metabolism. 2. **Hormonal Regulation** - The hormones in the body also have a great influence on hunger. Ghrelin, often known as the "hunger hormone," is mainly secreted by the stomach. When the stomach is empty, the level of ghrelin rises, which stimulates the hypothalamus in the brain to make people feel hungry. In contrast, leptin, which is mainly secreted by adipose tissue, has an inhibitory effect on hunger. When the body has enough fat stores, leptin levels increase, and it signals to the brain to reduce appetite. However, in some obese people, there may be a phenomenon of leptin resistance, where the brain does not respond properly to leptin signals, resulting in continuous overeating. 3. **Blood Sugar Level** - Blood sugar is an important energy source for the body. When the blood sugar level drops, such as several hours after a meal, the body will trigger a hunger response. The pancreas secretes glucagon to promote the conversion of glycogen in the liver to glucose to maintain blood sugar levels. At the same time, the drop in blood sugar also sends signals to the brain, making people feel the need to eat to replenish energy. **II. Psychological Factors** 1. **Stress** - In modern society, stress is a common factor affecting hunger. When people are under stress, the body will secrete hormones such as cortisol. Cortisol can increase appetite in some people. Some individuals tend to overeat high - calorie foods like sweets and fried foods when they are stressed. This is because stress may disrupt the normal regulation of the body's appetite - controlling system. 2. **Habit and Environment** - Habit also has an impact on hunger perception. For example, if people are used to having three meals a day at regular times, their body will form a biological clock - like rhythm. When it is close to the usual mealtime, the body may start to feel hungry even if the energy reserve is not completely depleted. Moreover, the environment can also influence hunger. For example, the sight and smell of food can stimulate the appetite. When people see or smell delicious food, they may feel hungry even if they are not actually in a state of energy shortage. 3. **Emotional State** - Emotions such as boredom, sadness, or loneliness can also lead to increased hunger in some people. Boredom may cause people to seek the pleasure of eating to relieve the dull feeling. Sadness may make people turn to food for comfort, and loneliness may prompt people to eat more as a form of self - compensation. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Pride and Lowliness
Pride and inferiority are subjective values that are usually used to describe the attitude, behavior, and values of individuals or groups. In some novels, the elements of pride and inferiority may be described as a confrontation or conflict, such as the proud looking down on the lowly, or the lowly thinking that they are superior to the proud. However, the definition of pride and inferiority was not limited to novels or literary works. In real life, arrogant and lowly behavior and attitudes could also affect the relationship between individuals and groups. For example, arrogant people may appear arrogant, arrogant, and disrespectful, while lowly people may appear selfish, prejudiced, and disrespectful. Whether it was in the novel or in real life, the arrogant and lowly elements should be regarded as a subjective evaluation rather than an objective fact. We should respect the values and attitudes of others and strive to build positive, equal, and respectful relationships.
