Walking down the side walk towards the school, Aria catches her reflection in the window of a shop. she walks past seeing the bruises her brother left all over neck. With her hands trembling, she traces the hand print around her neck, hissing at the pain raidiating from the mark.
Aria pulls her scarf around her neck, trying the hide the bruises. After a few minutes, she arrives at the school gates, keeping her head low she makes her way through the crowd of students.
Reaching the steps to the front doors of the school, she tries to hide herself in the students without being noticed. A little hard with her bright orange hair, piercing green eyes, she definitely stands out from the crowd.
As she reaches the top steps, a figure emerges from behind one of the pillars. Aria's breath catches in her throat as she stares at Dragus standing directly in front of her. Dragus just screamed power, standing at 6'4 with his luscious mahogany brown hair swept to the side, from the top of his head his shirt clinging with an inch of its life to every muscle on his body, there was no denying the man oozed sex on legs.
As Aria stood there scanning his whole body with her emerald eyes Dragus spoke. 'Are you gonna stand there eye fucking me or are you going to tell me why you've got bruises around your neck?' He asked her in a husky voice.
Aria snapped her eyes back to his face, grasping her books tightly in her hands before looking at the ground and mumbelling 'it's nothing to worry about'.
Dragus took a step towards her, towering over the top of her casting a shadow over her. Aria stilled and grasped her books even tighter. she wondered if they would tear. She looked up to him into those gold pools staring at her intently. Aria caught sight of Colton from behind Dragus. his glare instilling fear right to her soul. Aria stumbled back from Dragus.'I need to go' she fumbled out before turning on her heels and running for the main doors of the school...
As Aria burst through the school doors, ignoring the stares she got from the other students and the whispers of comments calling her 'slut whore'. she quickly made her way to her locker trying to avoid the other students as much as possible.
"What's got you so worked up?" Ariel asked as Aria pulled her from the class into the hall.Aria didn't reply; she continued to tug Ariel down the hal
"Look at me Aria, don't let anything that came out of her vile mouth get to you. she's wrong, don't let her ever think her words mean anything to you"

Aria's POVAs I ran from the clearing and into the woods I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, my feet hitting the ground but all I could think
I walked through the maze of people in the station holding my bag close to me. I had no idea where I was staying or where I was going but for once I felt free and happy.
After a few more hours hanging out with the guys, my eyes started to feel heavy and I yawned I decided it was time to head up to bed. "I'm gonna head up goodnight" I rose from the couch and made my way to the stairs, as I got to the second landing someone grabbed my hand I turned to see Drake holding my hand in his I looked at him a tilted my head to the side waiting for him to say something. "Aria I just wanted you to know you are safe here no one can hurt you anymore, and don't worry about your dragon it doesn't make you any less of a person" I could see the sincerity in his eyes swirling around, I smiled up at him while he was still holding my hand after a few more seconds of standing there I slid my hand from his. "Thank you, Drake, I feel safe here, you guys mean so much to me already and we haven't even known each other that long but you guys make me feel
Dragus POV It's been 6 days since we found out that Aria had left 6 fucking days and I was going crazy my dragon was constantly pacing both me and Darian were on edge we couldn't understand why were we feeling the way we were towards her. Two days after she left we were both woken we the same dream, a dream of us in the clearing with her she was standing in the middle staring up at the stars she looked amazing just standing there we could see her from the darkness of the trees she turned and looked at us staring right into our eyes when we made our way over to her I couldn't keep my eyes from her, I had the sudden urge to touch her so I lifted my hand and stroked her face the sparks that flew up my arm were unimaginable when the breeze that surrounds us picked up her hair whipping around her I heard a voice whisper "MATES" and then it ended I woke up in my bed my sheets soaked from the sweat that had come from my body I could still feel the tingles

I woke up the next morning surrounded by my two favourite men. I was laid on Dragus’ chest, while Darian was snuggled in behind me. I tried to stretch a little to test my body. We had made love until the first light of dawn started to appear in the big windows, and then I had fallen asleep in both my mate’s arms as we watched the sun come up fully. My body ached everywhere, but it was a good ache. The kind that sent shivers down my spine and had me smiling at the memory of last night.
I watched as Darian, and Dragus circled around me, matching the other two dragons’ movements.“Come on
We slowly began to make our way down off the ridge. My mother showed me the way that she had got up here. We talked some more as we walked. I told my mother about life and living with the twins and their family. I told her about the friends that I had met in Arcadia and how Ariel had found her fated mate among them when she had come to visit for my 18th birthday. She was happy to hear that Ariel and I were still friends, and I admitted that I couldn’t have done things without her.
My eyes widened as I looked at my mother.“What?” I exclaimed, and she furrowed her eyebrows at me.
“What!” I exclaimed. Did I just hear that right?“Your dragon?” I stared at my mother and she nodded

I didn’t know how to take this. My mum was alive! I took a step back, away from Darian and Dragus. Away from Agnes. Away from it all.
