Free Web NovelChapter 114: Chapter 114 Half Demon, Half Dragon
Blaze’s POV
I’ve been a ’guest’ in this pack for the last couple of days now. I like it here, and I’ve bonded pretty well with my mate’s twin brother. He is a hothead, but a really cool guy at the same time. We spent a lot of time together, which his mother does not seem to like so much.
After she dropped me on the ground that fateful day, the King asked her what she knew. Her eyes seemed far away for a couple of seconds, and then he swore like I’d never heard one do before. Color me impressed and intrigued. They didn’t tell me anything, but the tension was almost visible between the two of them.
So, I’ve enjoyed the hospitality of the pack, but it’s getting kinda old now. I want to go after my mate, and Loch has sworn that if they don’t let me go soon, he’ll raise all kinds of hellfire - or hellwater to be correct. He is even more impatient to find her.
"Maze, I need to speak with you!" I say while knocking on his office door. He answers for me to come in, and when I do the room is full of younger people. Okay, what did I just walk into?
"Please sit, Blaze. We need to talk to you too." Maze says, gesturing to the vacant chair. I do as he says, while being scrutinized by all in there.
"Who are the posse, bro?" I ask in a light tone, not wanting them to know just how unsettling this is.
"These are mine and Amber’s family. Our cousins and protectors." He answers while pointing them out.
"Those two knuckleheads over there with the sour expression are Ezra and Joshua. They are our guardians, and Ezra is explicitly angry because the dragons kidnapped his charge." Maze explains and I nod to the twins sitting and glowering at me. Ezra’s eyes are dark and cloudy, he seems to be in pain.
"Then there are the twins over there - Leon and Kristian. They are the next betas of our pack." He continues, while pointing at another set of twins. Damn, these people are fertile.
"And the triplets Jerome, Jon, and Jasper. They are the next gammas." The three boys bow their heads to me. freёweɓnovel.com
"Then there are the girls - Allison and Smilla. They are both high ranking as well." I look at the girls last, but one of them catches my eye more than the other. She smiles, a sweet knowing smile, and nods her head.
"I am a fox shifter." She says, while one of the twin pairs growls at me for looking at her too long. freёwebnovel.com
"Possessive much, boys? Don’t worry, she is a beauty but can’t compare to my princess." I wave at them dismissively. No one can compare to my mate!
I start wondering why all of them are here, when Maze takes the word again.
"We’ve gathered because we have come to new information regarding you and my sister." He says. I smirk. What he means is that they have been eavesdropping on their parents, which I absolutely condone.
"But first, I have a question for you." Maze continues. I nod my head at him. He can ask me everything in the world, as long as I can go to save my precious mate soon. She’s been in the clutches in that moron too long already. I need her to be okay, and I’m clinging to the hope that she is. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to her.
"I... Well, we need to know how you know you are my sister’s mate? Will you protect her?" I sigh. That’s not a hard question to answer.
"I know because she has the sweetest scent in the world, and when I laid my eyes on her the other day - even unconscious, she was the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen. As I said before; the fox girl is good looking." Growls erupt in the room, but I continue like nothing happened. "But she can’t hold a candle to my girl. Besides; my beast claims her." I state confidently.
"I will protect her with my life." I say silently. It’s a strange feeling to have, because I am not used to them. I’ve been hiding my feelings all my life. Being a forbidden child, I’ve been chased and harassed all my life, making it crucial I do not ever show any signs of emotions. I have a feeling Amber will change a lot about that in the future.
"Good answer. Now to a more difficult question." Maze states, before he continues. "What are you? I accidentally heard my mother tell my father that she has been blocking ’something’ from Amber for years, but she couldn’t quite place what they were. She means you - cus the goodie-two-shoes of a flying prince charming, is all dragon through and through." I sigh at the question. I knew it would come down to this, but are they ready for the answer? Am I?
"This is going to be an answer you will not like," I say, but before I can say another word the door bursts open and a young woman walks in with a dark man behind her. All the youngsters jump to their feet and bow their heads.
"Aunt Willow, Uncle Jax? What are you doing here?" Maze asks, confusion clouding his eyes. So this is the couple fighting to take over the throne in the underworld, interesting.
"I’ve come to talk to him." The woman says, pointing at me. I gulp down. Uh oh!
"Why?" Maze moves in front of me. "He hasn’t done anything wrong." He defends me, but I put my hand on his shoulder. The look in her eyes. She knows.
"Blaze, I know your parents." She says, answering the question in my mind. Wait?! How did she know that’s what I was thinking?
"I can read minds silly, and you need to tell them the truth." She says with a dismissive wave of her hand. "And you need to do it now if we are going to get you out of here before my big sister puts a spell on you, preventing you from ever getting near Amber." Willow winks, and sends me a dazzling smile.
I turn around to the room, taking a deep breath and looking at the ceiling.
"I am half demon, half dragon - full water elemental," I say, and the room goes eerie silent.
