Kaitlyn left her mate's office, almost shaking with fear. Lucius always had a twisted mind, but this sudden change was scaring the hell out of her. For the last five years, her life looked like a scenario written by a madman: torture, healing, and the same neverending questions. It was so repetitive that Kaitlyn got used to it at some point. There were days when she was afraid that she lost her mind because of how little she cared for her life. She had hoped all this nightmare would end one day when she wouldn't be able to take it anymore. But it did not matter, for as long as Demetria was safe. Now, everything had changed. Lucius found their daughter or was close to finding her. There was no doubt something was different in his behavior. Even the torture stopped, which could only mean he did not need her answers anymore. If that was not enough, Lucius freed her from this monstrous trap that was her home for many years, provided her with new clothes, and forced her to eat together.
- Today is a big day.- Cassius announced during the breakfast. He looked really excited, and Demetria could not wait to find out what was the reason for that. During the last weeks, she was training under his watchful eye. To be honest, this was the main thing she had been doing since he found her, and sometimes the girl missed the lazy afternoons when she could only relax. But with her uncle, it was not an option. Cassius was against wasting time. He always reminded her she wasted enough during her stay in the pack. To some point, he could understand why her parents stopped her from training, but he still blamed them for not letting Demetria build her stamina, at least. The girl stopped to argue with him about that, as it was utterly pointless. Besides, she did not like to think about Felix and Shioban. The memory of her family was still too painful.- Are you going to tell me what it is going to be? Or do you want to keep me in the dark for the rest of the day? Let me tell you, this
- What are we going to do? What is happening here? - Demetria asked her beast, hoping she would have so much needed answers. ~ As much as I would like to help, it is a new thing for me, too. ~ Elena admitted, and the disappointment washed over the girl. ~ Why is your uncle bowing to us?- I have seen it before. That is what happens when the Alpha releases his aura. - Demetria thought about those few occasions when she could see Felix using his Alpha voice. They were rare since he was far from ordering his packmates. Her father believed in trust above power, and she had to admit it was working, as her parents were loved by the whole pack. ~ What you are saying sounds more like forcing people to obey your will and status. This is not the case here.~ Elena snorted. The girl looked back at the dragon, who was still in the same position. Elena was right. As much as it resembled the behavior of werewolves, there was a difference here. It looked more like a sign of respect. ~ That is the
Kylan was getting anxious for real. After their little success, they were getting back to the start. The tracks they had found not so long ago led them nowhere as they disappeared abruptly. It looked like his mate just flew away, which was impossible, but he could not find a better explanation. As promised, Callista joined them during their mission, but Kylan found her useless. She constantly whined and complained about how boring it was and how the flies were bothering her. She was making so much fuss about it that Kylan wondered why she had offered her help in the first place. It was frustrating to the point where he sent her back to the pack with one of his trackers. He was now one man short, but at least it was finally quiet. He noticed the rest of the team shared the same feeling, judging by the change in their behavior. It did not change the fact they were still unsuccessful, and the time was running out. The month Dragon King gave them could not be enough, as they were nowhere
Since her talk with Cassius, Demetria could not stop thinking about what her uncle had told her. Was it really possible she was somehow special, or was it just a strange coincidence? Maybe Elena's color was just an anomaly, without any particular reason. After all, even Cassius admitted that this story was more of a legend. She could not find a way to protect others from her father. She literally was hiding from him. How on earth could anyone expect her to go against him? For now, she was still just a girl who barely knew anything about herself, while her father had been a king for years, with a knowledge about dragons. Demetria thought about taking him down, but it was just wishful thinking. Now, the girl was sitting with the book open before her. She looked at the picture of the white dragon and the others surrounding him. The more she was watching it, the more details she noticed. She almost could feel the power coming from the beast in the center. But he did not seem to look dow
A thousand thoughts ran through Kaitlyn's mind when she saw the girl sitting at the table. She had not seen her daughter for eighteen years, but there was no doubt it was her Demetria. The girl looked exactly like her when she was young, trusted people, and believed the world was no such a wrong place. Kaitlyn could swear that was ages ago. - I see no introduction is needed. But I guess Demetria may need some clarification. - Her brother-in-law looked at both women.- This is Kaitlyn, my great friend, and your mother. - Cassius! - The witch almost yelled. This man sometimes could not behave at all. - I know who you are. - Demetria whispered. Kaitlyn looked at her, and the fear crawled up her back. She was never frightened during her torture, but now she was paralyzed by those few words. If her daughter hated her, she has probably right to do it, but Kaitlyn hoped she would at least have a chance to explain herself. She had no idea what the wolves told her about the circumstances in
Lucius was looking at a map with a sly smile dancing on his lips. A few days ago, a strange thing happened, but he was sure that it could be the solution to all his problems. Kaitlyn's dot disappeared from the map. Dragon King was carefully tracking his mate's movements since she ~ escaped~ from his prison. Kaitlyn was smart and did not trust her luck. She was switching places and made sure not to stay in any of them too long. It was creative thinking but, in this case, completely pointless. Lucius used her blood to track her, just like he did in the past, to find his daughter. Sometimes, he wondered why Kaitlyn forgot to protect herself the same way, but now it worked in his favor. Whenever the Dragon King was busy, one of his men was checking on the map in case something strange happened. Lucius was sure his mate would finally find their baby. As he predicted, this day came. Kaitlyn's presence disappeared for good. King interrogated the dragon, who was watching the map at the mome
*Warning* Chapter includes a sex scene. The whole pack was looking at the magnificent creature landing on the ground before the pack house. It was getting bigger and bigger. The huge wings hit the air before the dragon finally sat on the ground. Their doom arrived, and each member of the pack was trembling. The adopted daughter of an Alpha couple was not found, and the people remembered what the Dragon King promised them the last time, which is why there was no excitement in people's eyes. Kylan was standing next to his parents. All of them tried to keep their composure, but it was not easy, and they had to keep the facade for their people. There was only one person genuinely excited. Callista missed Lucius so much that it was almost painful. She should never leave his side. But now her nightmare was over. She couldn't care less for all those stupid wolves. For her, they could all die here and now. Anyway, leaving them alive was just prolonging their agony. Lucius had plans for al
