+CHAPTER 34+ She's your daughter

Aidan looked towards Aric. It was almost funny that whenever they encounter each other they were in the same position.

They both were rejected by their mates and both of them had abandoned their kingdoms for their soul mates. 

Both of them had no fucking idea about their soulmate's whereabouts.

But Aric was more fucked up than Aidan because he had no fucking idea that he had a daughter and not just a normal daughter but a fucking lycan and witch hybrid.

Amber was one of the rare women whom Aidan's dragon admired. Dragons were extremely picky creatures and in order to get in the good graces of a dragon a person has to go through the hell the dragon will put him through but this scenario didn't apply on Amber because one look at Amber and Aidan's dragon had immediately formed a bond with that child.

There was something beautifully broken within her soul that attracted Aidan's dragon towards her.

"So Aidan you have been out of your kingdom as long as I had been missing from mine. What have you been up to?" Aric asked while panting. 

They had entered the wastelands that lay just around the dark wood but it took them longer than necessary because Aric refused to enter the dark forest. 

Because the woods have a mind of their own~

They had to take the longer route to enter the wastelands.

And even with Amber's directions, it was fucking hard to pass the wastelands.

They were protected from the lost souls and the creatures of myth but still the temperature of the wastelands was unbearable even for immortals.

"I have been roaming around the world in search of my batshit crazy diamond. Gold helps her once I get my hands on her." Aric laughed at his words.

Aidan froze at the sound of the king of the beast's laughter. He had never seen him laugh. It was the first time he saw Aric laugh.

"Dear Moon! It feels so good. I almost forgot how it feels like to laugh." Aric said in a shaky voice.

Aidan looked at his friend in pity, Aric had no idea what awaited him beyond the wastelands.

"Remove that look from your face dragon before I remove it for you." Aric threatened.

"You have no fucking idea what awaits you past these wastelands." Aidan whispered.

"What do you mean by that? Don't tell me that you have set me up! I fucking trusted you, dragon." Aric sneered while taking a threatening step towards Aidan.

"You never told me that you have a daughter wolf!" Aidan dropped the bomb on his friend.

"What the fuck are you talking about Aidan?" Aric snarled viciously at Aidan.

"I saw your daughter, she has the beast cut from your soul. The legendary lycan resides within her soul." Aidan exclaimed, taking a step back from Aric because he knew that Aric was going to fucking explode sooner rather than later.

"Aidan, don't mess with me on this, it might cost you our friendship." Aric warned with a low growl.

"Why would I do that? If you don't believe me then ask your nephew about her. He witnessed the rise of her beast too along with every lycan present on her territory. They watched her while she handed Darach his ass."

"Her territory? Who is she? Is she half Fey?" Aric asked, his last question held so much hope that it almost killed Aidan to shatter his hope. Aidan can hear Aric's heart thundering in his chest.

Aidan knew that where Aric's thoughts were leading him. He was thinking about the possibility of Emmeline being pregnant with his child.

"She's a witch and lycan hybrid. Her name is Queen Amber." Aidan saw the spark of hope leaving Aric's eyes and getting replaced by rage.

"I'm not her father Dragon! I will never be a father to a witch. Her kind had cost me my matehood. No one from her kind will ever be related to my kin." Aric's eyes flashed golden when he barked those words indicating that his beast was talking from within him.

"She's not Charlie Aric. I think you need to know that Amber is Darach's mate." Aric sucked in a breath.

He looked at Aidan with fire in his eyes, the same fire that Aidan had witnessed in Amber's eyes when she was provoked.

"The Witch had all of you wrapped around her fingers. She might have enchanted Darach. I'm sure her death will lift the fog from Darach's mind." Venom laced the King of Beast's voice.

"I don't think that Amber had enchanted Darach. If she had enchanted him then she wouldn't have kicked him out of her Queendom." Aric was surprised at Aidan's admission. There was admiration in his voice when he talked about Amber yet again.

The Fucker was smitten by the Cold Queen!

Aric had a feeling that the witch might have enchanted the dragon king too.

"It might be just an act Aidan, you don't know witches they are deceiving nasty piece of works." Aric snarled.

Charlie had done the same. She had ended her relation with Aric on good terms, acting like his relation with Emmeline doesn't bother her. She was such a good actress, they all fucking were.

Aric wasn't expecting a punch on his face by Aidan in return for his words. 

"Your nephew is just like you Aric, seeped in hatred. Amber was right! Your kind can't digest any good thing happening to them. Stop hating a whole fucking race just because of one witch that made you cheat on your own fucking mate." Aidan fumed, holding Aric by his neck.

"I didn't fucking cheat on my mate Dragon! How many times I have to repeat myself? Charlie fucking enchanted me! How the fuck was I supposed to fight her? I'm a Lycan, not a fucking wizard!!" Aric bellowed, punching Aidan back, making him fall on his ass.

"Don't repeat Darach's mistake Aric. She is your daughter and if you don't believe me then look into her eyes. I'm sure you will recognize your own blood. If you challenged her you won't be able to win. She's going to chew you up and spit you out." Aidan warned while standing up and wiping the blood from his split lips.

"I think we are close to her territory. Let see if she's actually worthy of your admiration or it's just the result of her enchantment skills. I won't mind releasing my pent up hatred for her kind." Venom laced Aric's tone.

"You can't defeat her Aric. She got skills and powers beyond anyone's comprehension." Aidan warned his friend again.

"And I have hatred and rage stored within me that's beyond that witch's comprehension." Aidan remarked before heading towards the Queendom of the Cold Queen.

Two Kings were heading towards Amber's Queendom, unaware of the Cold Queen that was waiting for them at the boundary of her Queendom. . .
