A cold smile spread on Callista's face when she was looking at the girl. This little bit*ch was disrespectful, but today it will end. The which was buzzing with excitement. If that would not be inappropriate, she would do the happy dance right here, right now. The moment of her triumph was close. When Callista heard from Kylan that Demetria's dragon was white, she barely managed to hold on till the end of their meeting. She was ready to run straight to King's room and share this news with him. It has been decades since the last white dragon was born. Their existence became a legend or myth. And now they were all going to witness the return of legend. Of course, for the girl, it meant nothing good. - Are you sure? - Lucius asked her as soon as Callista told him the news. - The boy is pretty confident about what he saw. - The witch retorted, making herself comfy in one of the chairs.- He had no idea why it was so important. Nevertheless, he was willing to share everything he knew.
Shioban sat on the couch, squeezing gently her mate's hand. They were now in Cassiu's house. Kaitlyn offered them this shelter since they could not stay in their pack. If their plan was going to work, everyone must think the Alpha couple was no longer in the picture. Felix was not happy about this solution, as he wished to stay close to his people. Leaving them unprotected was beyond his imagination. - Is it necessary? - He asked again as if the truth was too hard to believe. - Demetria said it is. When she healed you, she advised you to keep you hidden until the right time comes. Your son may come back any time. It is too dangerous for you to be there, as he probably won't be coming alone, Kaitlyn tried to reason gently. - Don't call him that.- Felix retorted dryly, turning his face away, while Shiban's heart clenched. Their son's betrayal devastated him. - I didn't mean to...- The witch looked at him, but Alpha only waved his hand at her. - He could ask me to step down. I knew
The feeling of freedom was overwhelming. Demetria had a few chances to fly under her mother's barrier, but it could not be compared to what she was experiencing now. Only the sky was her limit. The girl felt sorry for the shifters who were bound to the earth. She was hitting the air with her enormous wings, getting higher and higher. It was freezing in here, but Demetria could not care less. - It is fantastic!- She almost screamed in her mind, breaking through another cloud. - Now I understand why you were missing it so much. ~ It would be better if we did not have this extra tail.~ Elena replied dryly. Demetria did a barrel in the air and noticed two dragons following her in the distance. The feeling of freedom shrunk instantly. Of course, her father would not allow her to fly without the spies. He would call it protection, but the girl knew better. They were here to observe and report on everything she did. Demetria tried to ignore them, but the joy of flying was gone. The freedo
Do not take it off unless it is indispensable. - Kaitlyn said, fixing a necklace on Cassiu's neck. - it may save your life.- Will I be able to shift? - The man asked, taking the pendant in his hand.- Yes. It will change your scent, so if someone discovers you, they won't be able to tell the difference between you and your brother. - the witch explained.Cassius let out a heavy sigh.- Am I going to smell like my brother? Can't say I like the idea.Kaitlyn patted his arm, making an angry face.- Do you prefer to enter Wisterium waving a flag with your name on it? It can be arranged.- I was just kidding. - The Dragon Prince distanced himself, rubbing his arm and pretending he was hurt. - I know it is a perfect solution, but the thought makes me nauseous.Kaitlyn raised her brow, glaring at him.- Then don't go. We will think about something else. I still think it is too risky.They had this conversation before. She tried to convince him to stay, but Cassius was adamant about his pla
Demetria was facing the couple with her eyes narrowed. Callista was squeezing the book as if the answers she wished to hear could come from it. -Can I ask what I owe this displeasure? I did not have a kid*apping in my plans today. - The girl spoke with a poker face. They were wasting their time if they were here to make her confess she was a white dragon. Callista grinned and pushed the picture before Demetria's face again. - Does it look familiar to you?- She asked dryly. Kylan stood behind her with a smirk dancing on his lips. - It looks like a dragon. I thought you lived here long enough to know that. - Demetria replied, shooting her brow and crossing her arms on her chest. She tried to look as relaxed as possible, hoping they would lose their confidence. Callista hissed slightly. It was evident she was getting annoyed since Demetria was unwilling to cooperate. - This dragon is white. Have you seen one ?- She asked straightforwardly. - No, have you?- The girl replied with he
-That was not the best of your ideas. Did you run out of your tricks? - The voice behind Cassiu's dripped with mockery, but the Dragon Prince remained calm, as the blade was way too close to his neck for his liking. He cursed himself for being so reckless. Kaitlyn would give him a hard time, seeing how quickly he got into trouble. - You are not too chatty, are you? - The voice spoke again. - Maybe that is better. You will have a lot of time to speak before the court. ~ The court? What is this egg talking about? ~ Alex spoke in Cassiu's mind. - I have no idea, but that is the tiniest of our problems. Is it an egg? - The Prince asked his beast. ~ Can't you feel it? He cannot be much older than Demetria. We could crush him in a blink of an eye. ~ The dragon retorted with confidence. - We probably could, but that is not the step I would like to take now. - Cassius replied. ~ He will think we are weak.~ Alex said, annoyed. - We know what we are. But hurting or killing one of their
Two days earlier.Lucius glanced at the man standing before his desk. He was tall and muscular, but his worn clothes showed life did not treat him gently. - Well, Claud, do you have something to tell me?- The Dragon King asked, shooting his brow up. The man before him shook his head with the strength that could easily twist his neck. - I have nothing to say, my King. I do not have the slightest idea of why you wished to see me. Lucius leaned on the back of his seat and ran his hand through his hair. - You don't know? I thought my men would explain the reason for this visit, but I guess they missed this part. I will have to do it by myself then. Claud got visibly pale but maintained a straight posture while the Dragon King looked at him coldly. - Tell me, my friend, what do you know about the rebels, and how did you contact them? I could swear they do not appreciate visitors, yet you were there on many occasions. - Lucius asked, pinching the bridge of his nose. The man shivered
- You left us so many years ago, searching for protection, and now you are back, crawling and begging for help? You have no shame, Kaitlyn. - The woman said, narrowing her eyes and wrapping her fingers around the glass of wine. - We managed to survive, defending ourselves from rogues, bears, and other shifters who tried to tear us apart. But you all ran like cowards, betraying your own kind. Kaitlyn glared at the witch sitting before her. She knew this meeting would not be an easy one, but her patience was wearing thin. Amanda was a leader of the most prominent coven on the continent for longer than Kaitlyn lived. And she loved to exaggerate. Not many shifters would be crazy enough to go against her domain, as they would be wiped out in no time. That is why they chose the smaller covens, as no one would care if they disappeared. Like the one Kaitlyn was born to. She ran away with her sisters while Amanda was pretending nothing happened. That was life. Only the strongest will survive
