She Became the Dragon’s Bride, He Regretted It

Abandoned bride chooses dragon alliance over faithless fiancé.

Elara Vale's wedding tradition requires her fiancé Adrian to haul their boat across Holomir's Sacred River or she faces eternal imprisonment in the Dragon Shrine. A vision reveals Adrian will choose his apprentice Vivienne, yet Elara waits at the riverbank. He never arrives. Instead of pleading, she travels to the capital and catches them together. Returning alone, she boards the sacrifice vessel. Only then does Adrian reappear, begging her to stay. With her grandmother and the Dragon King supporting her, Elara rejects him and embraces a new path.
