Chapter 25
Staring this huge man down his aura pushing against mine. He is strong I can feel the pressure he is throwing at me to submit. When I don’t and in return push my aura our adding my magic. Gasping staggering back at the amount of magic that flowed in me. My back smacked hard against the wall causing me to gasp. Dropping my aura and magic trying to catch my breath. Before I could fall his arms are around me steadying me. Looking up int to his golden-green eyes the sparks I feel from his touch have me leaning in. The worry on his face has me pulling back. “you are a wonderful little wolf. Let's start this again shall we?” he asks a hint of lust lacing his voice. I nod unable to form words while he’s touching me. Once steady again he lets me go and steps back I whimper at the loss of his touch. A grumble in his chest answers my whimper.
Nodding his head I follow him to a small sitting area. “I don’t normally have a guest here this is my den but not my house. How much do you know about dragons?” he asks stopping me in my tracks “I’m sorry what?” “dragons, little wolf what do you know about dragons?” I can't hold my laugh in. “what about them?” I ask wondering where this is going. “well like I asked what do you know about dragon shifters?” nodding walking over to a chair settling in as I am sure I will be here a while. Looking him in the eyes I reply “well let's see the last thing I read about dragons they are existent. The last one killed around 150 to 200 years ago why?” he bulks looking at me in shock the look has me wondering if I said anything wrong. Watching him now pacing the room he stops and looks me in the eye “where did you read such nonsense?” “It was in a book called umm. Hold I know just a sec what was it? Umm oh ya A History of Magical creatures. A complete guide to all creatures dead or alive.” I tell him
He just stares at me a long time before sitting on a long couch across from me. “do you think you could conjure tea?” he asks and I bust out laughing “I am not a witch I cant conjure anything. And can you at least tell me your name?” I ask crossing my arms. Looking at me tilting his head like he's trying to find something. After a few moments, he got up and walked out of the room leaving me alone. Taking this moment to look around I notice it's a nice cozy area. A small fireplace with a blue burning fire inside. No smoke from the flames just a beautiful blue dancing flame. The plush chair I am sitting in is a rich black velvet. The chair just hugs you giving you a sense of peace. Across from me is a matching couch with a glass table between up. Touching the table it's both warm and cold. It's an odd feeling material. The walls are stone with sparkles of gold and silver scattered everywhere.
Walking back in with two steaming mugs holding one out for me I slowly take it. Sniffing I smell sweet calming herbs. Looking up at him he shrugs “moonflower tea helps soothe the soul. Thought we could use some calming for what I imagine is gonna be a weird talk. Let's start I am Rhett KnightFlame future alpha of the soaring winds dragon clan. And you are?” taking my time to repeat his name in my head my wolf purring at the sound. Shaking my head and squaring my shoulders I look at him “I am Ashley Sparks future alpha of the green lake pack.” he starts laughing causing me to growl out. Holding his hands up. “the group of rogue wolves being led by Lucas Greene have taken up near lake green. I believe he is calling himself alpha of the green lake pack. His offspring are just reaching manhood. He does not have a female offspring.” jumping up and pacing the room before I stop and stare at him “what?” I demand. Confusion crosses his face. “what do you mean what?” “tell me again about the green lake pack like everything.” he again repeats everything he knows about the green lake pack.
Dropping back down in the chair trying hard to figure out what happened looking up tears blurring my vision. He is in front of me so fast asking me what is wrong. I thought about lying but something on his face told me he would believe me so I spilled everything I know. “the green lake pack was formed 200 years in the past for me but if it's just forming for you then somehow I feel through time. Oh that bitch.” jumping up and pacing again startling Rhett. “my dear little wolf I am lost as to what you speak.” taking my time to tell him about what happened with Janet. At the end of my tale he roars so loud the earth shakes under me. “in the morrow we will travel to my father's lands and tell him of this. Today and tonight are for us to accept our bond.” holding my hands up in front of me “hold on there buddy I have a mate. Granted he rejected me but I still have one.” the roar that came from him had even me wanting to submit to him. Its an odd mix of anger and hurt. “do you not feel the bond mate?” again I find I can't lie to him and nod “I do but I don’t understand I rejected his rejection so the bond is still there though now that you mention it I cant feel him I can feel the weak bond.” looking up feeling helpless. Watching him pace back and forth “well you are fairy am I right maybe they are like dragons?” “yes I found out five years ago I was part fairy but other than some fire tricks and wings I’m not so great with the magic. Though the magic here is lighter easier to call on a little overwhelming.” starting to feel the pressure of trying to keep the magic at a safe level.
“We stop in the fairy grove on our way to meet my father they will have more answers,” he says before he walks out of the room leaving me alone.
