All Chapters of Rejected Dragon Queen: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

- 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

Cassius felt rage boiling in his veins. It was not what he expected. Rebels became a bunch of cowards. They were sitting in a vast cave with a massive wooden table in the middle and at least a dozen chairs around it. The Council. The Dragon Prince fought hard to remain calm and not crush a few heads belonging to surrounding his fools. He was exhausted as the meeting had lasted a few hours, and they still decided nothing. Every man here tried to sound smart, like a true politician, even if only a couple had any experience in that field. - Why should we risk our lives and safety and fight against the King? - Vladimir, one of the oldest members of the council, roared as the cave was filled with excited voices. His question cut all the murmurs short, and all present men looked at him. Cassius noticed they watched an older man with respect, which was funny, as he remembered him from the times when his parents ruled the kingdom. As little boys, Cassius and Lucius liked to hide themselves

Is everything ready for tomorrow? - Lucius asked, entering Callista's lab. The woman's cheeks flushed as always when she saw him. This man's aura was enough for her knees to feel weakened. This feeling intensified since the Dargon King had recently given her a cold shoulder. No matter how much Callista tried, she was always dismissed whenever she got closer to her beloved man. There was no denying that she loved him. This man was like every woman's living dream. Strong and robust, Lucius acted like he owned the place wherever he appeared. Callista hoped that he would own her in every aspect as it had happened before. She was aware of the distress she put him through by the unproved information she gave him with Kylan. Callista blamed her for this mistake. She could check whether the boy's words were actually true before sharing them with her King, yet she acted out of excitement and is now paying the price for it. Tomorrow's mission could be her chance to fix everything, but first,

Kylan leaned against the door frame, watching two women approach him quickly. Demetria ignored him entirely while Callista shot him a cold glance. When she was passing him, Kylan grabbed her arm, stopping the witch in her tracks. - Don't you even dare. - She warned him, but the man was unfazed by her words. - Let me guess. Your plan failed?- Kylan asked with a smirk. - Why am I even talking to you? I am starting to have doubts. Are you on our side at all? - Callista answered, pulling her arm out of his grip. She started walking again, aware of Kylan following her. The witch entered her room, not bothering to look at the man who stood behind her until his hand landed on her shoulder, making her turn. His brows were knitted, and his eyes were cold. - That was a serious accusation. Have I not proven my loyalty enough?Callista pushed his hand away, and the tips of her palms shone red. - I think you forget who you are talking to. - The witch came closer, and Kylan took a step back fo

Amanda's summons came unexpectedly. She wished to see them in two days. One thing was certain: It was important for her to see all the leaders in person. The older witch was very secretive and did not like others to visit her precious coven. It was too risky to gather so many powerful women in one place. Who knows what ideas and plans they could have in mind?But now, she suddenly changed her mind. No one dared to question this decision, as it could have unpleasant consequences.Now, all of them were waiting for Amanda, as requested. All nine leaders were in one room. The atmosphere was tense since they could hardly be called friends. They were sisters, but that was just a meaningless title that witches had used for years. The last time they worked together was, in fact, Amanda's order regarding Kaitlyn, the infamous witch who became a mate of the Dragon King.All leaders waited with anticipation of what she could need for now. The room was heavily guarded, but no one seemed surprise
