Chapter 66
Rhett finally got his big ass up and helped me out of his den. Feeling my wings under the tunic I forgot to alter the back of the shirt. Starting to take it off Rhett growls from behind. “what?” “what are you doing women keep your clothes on.” “how else am I gonna fly if I don’t cut the back off this shirt huh?” I glare over my shoulder at him. With a cocky grin, “you can ride me?” “haha funny we don’t have time for that I need to speak to an oracle the sooner the better. Does the shadow pack have an oracle yet do you know?” tilting his head to the side looking at me like I lost my mind. “I mean it you can ride on me let me shift and then we will head to the pack if they don’t then Adam will know where to find one.” shock is all I can feel. I mean I know he's a dragon I have seen him shift but to ride a dragon is something out of fairy tales. Coming up to me with a devil may smirk on his face. Placed his finger under my chin closing my mouth “what's wrong princess cats got your tongue?” leaning forward kissing me softly.
Smacking his chest as we brake from the kiss “don’t do that I am not a princess.” pecking me again before he turns and heads to the clearing not far from his cave. “well that's where you are the wrong sweetheart I am the next dragon lord so royal than your daughter of the daughter of the king of the fae so dear little wolf you are a princess.” as he tosses his shirt over his shoulder as he steps out of his trousers. Scooping them up as I hear the sounds of skin ripping and bones breaking. Looks up as the massive black dragon shakes out his wings. So thin I can see through the membrane yet they look thick at the same time. A breathtaking sight. Lowering to the ground I run my hand over his massive arm. A shiver runs over him as his big head swings my way. “please little wolf I am extra sensitive to your touch like this.” his husky voice enters my mind. Looking up at him with what I hope is an I’m sorry look.
Carefully climbing up his leg or arm to the spot right between his shoulders and wings. “slide your hands under a scale and hold on to the rougher under scale.don’t let go.” nodding before I mentally face palm myself “okay ready when you are.” I gulped as I clanged to the rough under-scale. Taking off at a run he throws his wings open flapping one two three times before he jumps up and the wind catches and pulls us up in the air. I can't keep the giggles from escaping. “enjoying yourself?” “Oh, do you know how amazing this is?” “to fly? Yes love I am aware of how it is to fly as are you not you have wings.” he chuckles in my head. “no silly riding a dragon. We have fairy tales about dragons fighting them riding them but nothing even comes close to well this.” I shout throwing my arms up knowing deep inside I could never fall off his back. How do I know this I have no clue.
We had been flying for a while when I realized we have been traveling longer than we had before. “why is the shadow pack so far away now?” I ask confused as I look around. “I felt a shift in the land when the fae king closed the barrier. I am having to adjust to this new landscape.” this would explain why I felt the lake was too close to where the cave is. Torn between telling him to go faster or slow down as we make our way to the shadow pack. “hold on to land close I have to shift as I land just keep holding one.” before I can respond he drops from the sky. I can feel him shifting under me. Growing smaller as he does I move up always staying at his shoulders. His clothes are now pressed hard between us as he lands with a soft thud. “how did you not make a louder sound?” I ask in shock as I slide off his back holding his clothes out to him. “I’m a dragon.” he shrugs.
The alpha comes through the woods as Rhett finished dressing. “what do I owe the visit so soon after you last were here?” “no time for the manly hi how are you? Do you have an oracle yet? If so I need to speak to them or point me in the way of someone.” I demand a grumble behind me and tell me I am being rude to the alpha looking at him and daring him to say something. When he looks at Rhett I growl out. “no do not look at him. I am the one speaking about how the king turned out the way he did I have no clue with you as his bloodline.” I glare at him. His eyes snap to me when I feel both Allister's tail tighten and Rhett's hand land on my shoulder. Shrugging it off I open myself up to Allister. The alpha's eyes widen as he takes me in. With a sigh and dropping off his shoulders, he nods “thank goodness it was you. I do apologize we had two other Rhett and his brave mate.” the alpha huffs out. He reeks of tiredness and stress. “what is it?” “well we do have an oracle but after the attack the other day she locked herself in her quarters and won't speak to anyone. I don’t know what to do.” he shrugs.
“Trust me she will talk to me just take me to her door I beg you alpha.” pleading bleeding out in my voice. A look of shock overtook his face as he looked between me and Rhett. Soon replaced with worry at my tone, nod, and turn. We follow him back to the pack house. When we make it to the sun room I get a feeling I know where to go. Stopping I turn to the alpha and Rhett “alone. She won't talk to me with you two there stay here I will be fine she will be fine. Go do men things chop wood drink beer watch a game something.” I make a shooing motion with my hands. They both looked shocked but nodded then the alpha opened his mouth.
“ill explain let her go”
