Chapter Twenty-Two
Myriana paced the gleaming, white marble floor while she waited for an audience with her father. It was at least thirty minutes since she’d asked to see him and was told to wait in the great hall. She glowered up at his empty throne that was positioned on an elevated platform to allow him to look down upon the entirety of the great hall where the elite of the land gathered to meet. It was so high that it required he shift to his beast state to reach it; after which he returned to his humanoid self.
What could be keeping him?
He knew her patience level was low on the best of days. He also knew her reason for wanting to see him. Was he taunting her to punish her because she refused to walk away from the love she felt for Tristan? He was not of royal blood, after all. Not to mention that he was of the family Dragonas and was tainted by the surface human’s genetic line.

Locating Tristan proved easier than Myriana could have hoped for. After discovering his vessel parked near one of the myriad of subterranean tunnels used by the meta-naturals, Jepson, the tracker in the group, determined the tunnel that would lead to the area for them to search. As luck would have it, when they reached the cave leading to the surface world, who do they find sleeping inside? None other than Tristan.Finding him so quickly was unexpected, but not as unexpected as the name that naturally slid past his lips after she kissed him awake. She had to refrain from slapping his face as she demanded to know who Chloe was.It took a few moments for reality to set in. When Tristan finally realized that he was in the company of Myriana and a few of her soldiers, he gave her a broad, genuine smile. “Am I glad to see you.”“Who is Chloe?” she persisted.Tristan studied Myriana’s expression.

Chloe sat, wide-eyed, in the darkness of the large room she’d been dragged into by a small group of fierce looking wolfmen. She’d seen enough in Antoh Sudnik’s laboratory to understand that they were human at the core. What she wasn’t sure of was if they’d retained their humanity once the wolfism took hold. Other than forcefully drag her out of the cave and down the tunnel and assault her senses with their dog breath, they’d done nothing to indicate how much danger she might be in.Thoughts of Tristan flooded her. She tried on several occasions to send him a telepathic message, but it went no further than the wolfman nearest her; much to his amusement.“Who might this Tristan be?” he asked with a sneer. “Should we be going back to the cave to fetch him?”“We can’t, brother,” said a female from the recesses of darkness. “We have orde

Baqman and Martha stood back to allow Tristan into their home. He’d returned to humanoid state before scooping her into his arms and carrying her from the vessel, which made it easier to maneuver inside the building that was built to house humanoids and not dragons. His powerful muscles bulged as they gently laid Chloe’s limp body onto the bed in the guest room. “She saw us in dragon form and fainted. I gave her a sedative to prevent her waking while in transit with us as we passed through the land of meta-naturals while still in dragon form, but I question if I gave her too much. She should be awake by now, right?”Martha pushed her way close to inspect Chloe. “If she fainted from shock, as I assume she did, that will add to the length of time she is out. Leave me with her so that I can inspect her more closely.”“Come, son,” his grandfather said as he touched Tristan&rsquo

Chloe was washed, was in one of Martha’s shifts with a hair ribbon holding her long locks in a neat braid down her back, and was well into her second serving of potato-leek soup and home baked bread by the time Tristan returned to the house. Her eyes lit up at how striking he looked in his kid leather pants and Daniel Boone style shirt. When she saw Baqman standing behind him in similar attire, she smiled. “Is it a family thing to dress like that?”A look of surprise came over Tristan as he checked out his clothing. “Like what?”“We work with nature here, dear. You will find limited man-made materials,” Martha explained.“I didn’t mean to offend you,” Chloe said quickly. “I guess I forgot where I was. This house looks like it could be from the surface.”“Who do you think taught the surface humans how to build?” Baqman said as he slid past Tris

The world that Tristan lived in was amazing to explore. Chloe felt as if she was walking through a federal preservation park run by the Smithsonian Institute as she took in the array of giant foliage and creatures, long thought extinct, around her.“I feel so small and insignificant,” she said as she moved along a path lined with an array of enormous foliage including philodendron, lily, croton, and palm plants. Beyond them was a blend of evergreens, oak, birch, redwood, palm, and many more she couldn’t identify. All were blending and living peacefully together. “It’s amazing to see tropical plants right along trees you’d find in the north where I come from.”“I thought the same thing when I first arrived,” Martha mused. “After the horrors of war, it took some time to adjust to everything and everyone living in peaceful harmony.”After explaining that they were

Chloe helped Martha with a few of the chores around the farm that could be done at such an odd hour of the day before heading back to the house. The closer they got to the house, the more anxious she became. Would Baqman have the test results? Was she contaminated with vampire or werewolf venom? Or both? Would she need to have her blood cleaned? How did they plan on doing it? Were they going to give her a blood transfusion? As far as she knew, Martha was the only one in Manthella who had blood that would be compatible; providing it was the same type as hers.She had herself so worked up about the subject, that by the time she reached the house her legs could barely support her. She assumed Tristan was watching out of the window because as soon as her legs began to buckle he was racing off the porch and down the path to sweep her into his powerful arms. She felt weak and helpless, yet secure and happy, as she rested her cheek aga

“I will answer any questions you may have,” the doctor said as he focused on putting his equipment back into his bag.With the opening to release the question that raged within her during the entire examination placed before her. Chloe wasted no time in asking it. “Am I pregnant, doctor?”“Call me Vidar. Doctor sounds too formal,” he said as he closed his bag and turned to face her. He folded his arms across his chest, crossed his ankles, and casually leaned his body against the edge of a nearby table. “You are an oddity, my dear. As with the bloodwork and the urine sample, my examination was inconclusive. We will have to wait a bit longer to find out. Very odd.”“Why would that be?” she asked with panic.He shook his head in thought. “It is a mystery. You are certain that you are from surface earth?”Her brows knit together

“I understand that things are done differently on surface earth, but you are back in Manthella now. I expect you to behave accordingly,” bellowed Baqman as he stood in the doorway of Tristan’s room. His look was a mixture of disgust and disappointment as his clear eyes met Tristan’s dazed ones. “Wake up, both of you. The king is demanding we bring Chloe before him.”As the reality of the situation sank into Tristan’s cloudy mind, so did panic. He’d been caught in bed, by his grandfather, with a woman he was not mated to. If that wasn’t bad enough, the king was demanding to have her brought before him. Neither of these things was a good thing.“Your grandmother brought fresh clothes for Chloe,” Baqman grumbled. “I will wait for you outside.”“Grandfather,” Tristan said as he sat up with a look of chagrin on his face.“Not a wo
