Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Her Scent
Unknown POV
I have been searching for years now. Ever since I smelled her in the forest surrounding the Blue Mist Pack, I’ve been looking. Her smell was intriguing and alluring on a level I never thought possible. As soon as I thought I would find her, her scent disappeared. My inner beast didn’t like it at all, and has been pestering me ever since to find her.
Every time I thought I was getting closer to her, she disappeared from my radar again - as if someone from the outside sensed my presence and blocked her from me. One time I managed to get a glimpse of her, but then in a blink of an eye she was gone. What was this magic?
I was beyond frustrated, when I by accident ended up in a cave near the border close to the underworld. There I overheard two of the border guards discuss the upcoming birthday of the twins of the Queen of Magic folk and werewolves. I didn’t pay that much attention before one of the guards started talking about the princess in detail. The girl they were talking about, Princess Amber, sounded exactly like the girl from my glimpse.
"They are having a big birthday event in two days, celebrating the twins turning 18. Do you think they will find their mates?" One of the guards asked his friend.
"They might. Willow says she knows who both their mates are." The second answers, and I do a happy dance in my head. Someone already knew I am her mate? That is amazing, then maybe it will be easier than I thought.
"Oh yeah, I heard her say that too. So, the princess is mated to a dragon shifter, huh? That’s something."
"Not just a dragon shifter. The crown prince of the west dragon kingdom."
"Do you think..." Straining my hearing, I didn’t catch the last part of their conversation? To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
’So, they do not know we are her mate and they think she has another mate? I will not allow ANYONE to touch my princess.’ Loch, my dragon says in my mind.
’I know! I will not allow that to happen either, but then we need to get to her before that nincompoop can get his mangy hands on her. He already stole everything from us, he is not getting our mate.’ I answer with new determination.
Days Later
I have been rushing to get to the Silver Moon pack lands in time, before my mate meets that good-for-nothing idiot to a prince. Ugh I despise him with a passion.
I reach the packlands, and I can smell her. She must be close to the border in the forest. I jump in the water, and swim to where her scent leads me. Even under water, I can still smell her - thanks to water being my element.
Loch is going stir crazy in my mind, he wants his mate and he wants her now!
We pass the border without anyone knowing, but before I can get out of the water to introduce myself, her scent starts moving away from me - again.
I hear some of the conversation from above float down through the waters, and I understand her twin brother’s mate ran away. Damn, that must suck so bad!
I jump from the water, running through the trees, trying to move so fast the guards will not notice me.
I am not so lucky.
Soon I have three guards chasing me, and more to come for sure when I leave the safeguard of the trees, but I need to get to her. It’s the only way for me to explain. I’m sure she will recognize me. But now that I think about it, she didn’t seem to smell anything just before.
’We were underwater, dimwitt.’ Loch snarls. He is agitated.
Soon the trees come to an end, and we are out in the open. This is a big place. I follow the enticing scent of my princess, which is leading straight to the big group of shifters. This can either end bad or really bad.
As I approach the group someone screams in agony. Then the distinct sound of wings flapping, yelling and growling. I look up. There in the claws of a crimson dragon is the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid my eyes upon! She is gorgeous, vibrant, and... Unconscious.
THE ACTUAL FUCK?! Rage is coursing through my veins, and Loch is taking over - fast.
Then I hear HIS voice above all the others. He is cursing his father. Oh, hell no! If he did ANYTHING to my mate I will kill them both! Loch agrees as our target for now shifts. I run towards them, but they shift into their dragons and fly after the one who has my mate.
My attention is so fixated on her and them, I do not realize the guards have caught up with me. One of them grabs my arm harshly, but I do not care.
My mate. My heart just got kidnapped by my own species, and I have no idea how to save her. I got banished from the kingdoms long ago. I guess I’ll have to trespass. That’s going to be fun! A small smirk appears on my lips.
"My Queen, this one crossed our borders. He does not have permission and he seems hostile." One of the guards says, which pulls me from my murderous thoughts.
"Who are you?" A clear woman’s voice rings out, as I am grabbed by wind chains. The guard lets his hand fall from my arm at the same time. I look down, and come face to face with angry swirling purple/silver eyes. I notice she is not alone.
"I’m your daughter’s mate, my Queen," I answer politely. I don’t want her to kill me before I get a chance to save my princess.
"She already has a mate." A male voice resonates from beside the Queen. He puts his hand on her shoulder. freēwebnovel.com
"Let him down, my love. He has not shown any aggressivity or hostile behavior." He murmurs into her ear. I’m so close I can hear the love in his voice clearly.
"No! He is... He can’t be.." She answers. I quirk an eyebrow at her.
"I assure you, my Queen. I am indeed her mate, and I have been searching for her for years now ever since I caught her scent two years ago. My name is Blaze, my Queen." I answer, my voice still polite and even.
"Oh, no!" She answers, before I am dumped to the ground.
What the hell?
