Chapter Six

Dragus POV

As I watched Aria disappear into the forest my heart felt heavy. When her brother grabbed her in the cafeteria I had never felt rage like it, I wanted to tear his throat out and when she showed me those bruises on her torso, I had to use every ounce of self-control not to let my dragon Drogon out and rain down the fire on that piece of shit.

Why both Darian and myself feel drawn to her is a mystery to me. and we haven't done much to acknowledge her in school, but there was this power around her that drew both of us in, sure we were both attracted to her. I mean who wouldn't be? she’s smart sexy as fuck. I just wish she could see it all in herself.

I started making my way back through the forest towards the school as I cleared the forest into the field. I saw Darian, Silas Marco and Carlos waiting. As I got closer I could see Darian had a grim look on his face. I knew he was struggling with what happened in the cafeteria but neither of us knew why it affected us so much.

"Where is she?" Darian asked. his gaze locking onto me, I walked next to him and put my hand on his shoulder and shook my head.

"We spoke for a while. I found her in the clearing. She was hurt before this happened, he....." I let my words trail off as I saw Darian's eyes start to glow.

"He hurt her, how?" I was torn between telling him because I knew what would happen if he let Draco out.

Silas Marco and Carlos stood silently watching our exchange, I took a breath and said:

"She had bruises all down her right side, some looked old, others newer, she said he had done worse but that's all she showed me." I tightened my grip on my brother's shoulders as I could feel him shaking with pure rage.

"Why is she having this effect on us?" he asked while looking at me with his glowing golden eyes. I couldn't tell if I was talking to him or Draco.

"I don't know but we will find out," I said as I squeezed his shoulder. 

"Maybe she's your mate," Silas said as he eyed us both 

"How can she be both of our mates? You know that's stupid Silas, one mate, to one dragon" Darian said.

The others had no idea why that looked just as confused as we were.

"Let's go," I said to the others and we started to make our way back to the school building. As we entered, Aria's best friend Ariel came running up to us, her hair wild, her eyes searching around and she was sporting a red mark on her right cheek.

"Have you seen Aria I need to find her now Colton is looking for her" she rushed out her eyes still scanning around us looking for Aria?

"No we haven't seen her, she ran out of the forest and none of us knows where she went," I said. 

As Ariel went to walk around us I heard a low growl from behind me. I turned to see Silas glowing Silver, he walked up to a shocked looking Ariel and grabbed her arm.

"Who did that to your face?" He snarled. I could see the confusion in Ariel's eyes as she looked up at Silas before a look of pure determination came forward.

"I haven't got time for this, I need to find Aria now!" Ariel yanked her arm from Silas as she ran out the main doors to the school and down the path out of sight.

"What the fuck was that about?" Marcos asked Silas. Silas just shrugged and turned away heading towards his locker. 

"We need to find her Dragus and now before that fucker hurts her again" Darian whispered to me, I nodded my head in agreement and turned down the hall towards where Aria's locker was.

As I got closer I could see her brother Colton throwing her stuff out of the locker and into the hall where a group of students had gathered to watch him. As he saw my approaching her snarled at me,

"Where the fuck is that whore?" I stared at him without saying a word and turned on my heel and left the hall.

I made my way back to my brother and the others. I couldn't control my anger and slammed my fist into the nearest locker they all turned to look at me with puzzled looks on their faces.

Darian cocked an eyebrow and I walked straight past and out the doors to the school. The fresh air hit me and I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. I closed my eyes and spoke to my dragon.

"Drogon are you there?" a silver dragon flashed in my mind and nodded his head silently.

"Why is she affecting us so much?" I asked as he stared at me for a long moment without saying anything when he finally spoke,

"All in good time young Alpha" he said before he disappeared in a silver fog.

I opened my eyes and looked out in front of me. I knew Drogon knew something but wasn't ready to tell me. I wondered what he meant, but I wasn't left pondering for too long before I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned to see my brother Silas Marco and Carlos standing on the steps looking at me with puzzled expressions. 

"What happened?" Darian asked. I exhaled a long breath before I told them what happened. 

"This is getting out of control, do you think her friend will find her?" he asked me with a sullen look on his face, I shrugged my shoulders in reply. I didn't know anything about either girl to know what would happen. I just hoped her friend found her before her brother did.......
