That evening was a flurry of preparations. The dragon council’s guards would be here tomorrow to transport us there before the trial began, so we had time to settle in.
It was a strange feeling, being in front of the council no one ever really saw them. They remained in the shadows of our world, ruling from behind the scenes rather than taking a hands-on approach in the day to day running of our world.
The only reason they chose to hold court was if your crimes were so heinous, the alpha felt the punishment he was able to hand down was too lenient and the council could hand out a more serious punishment fitting of the crime, like with Eli.
Everyone was scurrying around packing for the upcoming trip and the housemaids had packed for the alpha and his family, myself included, which left me with my own thou
The next day, I was a wreck. Dragus never came to bed the night before and I had fallen asleep crying against Darian. He held me the whole time, whispering that it would be okay. Breakfast was quiet. I was sitting at one end of the large dining table with Darian, Demi, and Theo when Dragus walked in and sat down at the other end of the table. I resisted the urge to start crying again. It was helped by Darian’s hand under the table, resting gently against my leg. His touch calmed me and reminded me that I wasn’t alone.
The journey through the portal was an interesting one. As we hit the rip in the sky, my ears popped and I could feel tingles all up and down my body. I gripped the twin’s hands as hard as I could as I felt like the air was pulled from my lungs. I glanced up at Dragus and he seemed to be having a similar experience. He caught me looking and smiled at me and squeezed my hand. Just as I was about to start panicking, the pressure eased off and I could breathe again. I looked out of the window and gasped.
I stood holding the twins’ hands as Eli was led off by the guards around the back of the building. I looked over at the three on the steps and saw that Alpha Amera was staring at me. He tipped his head and turned to walk away.
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.
– Sarah’s POV –“Sarah!” I ignored the mind link from my mother as I watched the trainees running circu
– Aria’s POV –I glared at the woman in front of me as she rubbed her face. I saw her glance behind me and
“What!” I exclaimed. Did I just hear that right?“Your dragon?” I stared at my mother and she nodded
My eyes widened as I looked at my mother.“What?” I exclaimed, and she furrowed her eyebrows at me.
