" I don't think that's for you to decide . And besides I think this conversation is between two people "
" I will arrange for your parents to be brought here . And I already sent a man to inform them of your whereabouts. Thus you can relax. " He replied as if he didn't understand the meaning of my last sentence . The nerve of this guy he speaks as if he owns me or something.
" You have no right to tell me what to...." I was saying when the King cut me short .
" Raymond . She's going back if that's what she wants . I agree with her . She had a life back in the human realm and if she wants to settle it first, then I think that's okay and right . But it will not be for more than a month. I believe that's enough time for her . Your duties as Luna Queen will be then transferred to you . " He said to both me and Raymond.
" dad , I have royal duties I need to serve here very soon you say you want to retire and in that You're already organising my coronation in two weeks . I have to train my warriors. And not to forget we have a dangerous rough after one of our packs .
How do you expect me to keep an eye on her when she's in the human realm. . " Raymond replied angrily. But in a low voice as his jaws clenched showing how his anger was building up .
" I don't need you keeping your eyes on me . Crying out loud I have just met you this morning and I was clearly fine without you . " I snapped at him.
" Clearly fine . Because I saved your butt two days before. You don't not what kind of danger your life is at being my mate and if only it wouldn't cause me weakness, I wouldn't give a dam . "
" I'm not a child I can protect myself against my enemies . Even if you didn't make it I would have figured out some other way we all know that and besides if you're finding me as a liability then why hold on to this. "
" Enough the both of you. Shut up. " The king snapped . A furious growl resonated from him and slapped his hand on the desk causing a loud thud and slice between the two of us .
We turned our attention back to him in unison.
" Raymond there's two weeks till you become King so for now. I call the shots . And If I said I permit her then she can go . Period . And don't you dare to make me repeat myself . And you Reina ask Kiran to take you to her dad . He will open the realms door for you and take you home . " He warned though Raymond didn't seem to fear in fact ,he was the total description of the opposite.
He looked at him with rage filled in his eyes and a small but loud enough for us to hear growl escape his lips as he fisted his hand and closed his eyes that had already changed colour due to his wolf's furry . But honestly although I could feel and detect his anger and frustration, that would make me feel happy that I was winning which I wanted to be , I just couldn't help but feel my self feel bad and sad for him.
" I think my need here is done . I will take my leave . "
" Wait. ... ? If you are going then I'll be the one to take you . "
"What ? "
" I have an ongoing investigation i wanted to do but the guys are in the human realm . I was going to send Nate but now I find it more appropriate if i went instead .
It will be hitting two birds with one stone. That way I will be ensuring her safety" he said facing his father and the king kept silent for some time without replying and continued reading through what ever he was .
I chuckled lightly taking his silence as an epic no and turned to leave but only to stop again hearing the Kings words .
" As long as your duties here aren't neglected you can go anywhere . "
I turned and gave a dirty look at Raymond that I never gave to anyone but he ignored it and continued lightly smiling clearly displaying his victory. " We will leave in the evening . " He said and walked past me and reach for the door before me and out . Not even giving me a chance to disagree with his condition .
I took a breath and walked out . Wow so much for thinking the king would free me from him. I guess I will just have to take things in my own hands .once I get back to the human realm I am never getting back here not a month not a year or ever.
I walked through the hallway heading to the stairs that lead down to the second floor of offices . But before I could take my first step down , I felt a hand grabbing my wrist . At that moment the first thing and image tha came to my mind was that of Raymond .
I imprinted my cold face that clearly symbolised hatred and turned . " What do you want ?" I asked in a low but pissed sounding voice that almost felt as a whisper .
But as soon as moved my eyes from the male figure's broad muscular chest to his face . My sour face was immediately replaced with a smile, the biggest smile of all times .
" Alan" I almost screamed out of excitement and joy as I quickly wrapped my hands around his kneck pulling him into a huge hug . He also hugged me tightly, and lifted me in the air . " All my life I never thought that I will ever be this happy seeing you . " I said happily as we kept hugging .
We suddenly heard a coughing sound but ignored it and the next thing we noticed was another group of hands pulling on my waist bring me backwards from my brother . I felt the electric like sparks ignite on the spot his hands touched and this time i was sure of who it was .
" What the heck ?" I asked once I turned Raymond standing behind me .
" Alpha Prince " Alan immediately said and bowed in respect and submission to Raymond .
I quickly pulled myself out of his grip although his touch was seeming to take my attention .
" What do you think you're doing?" I asked angrily .
" Reina " Alan said in a warning tone but i ignored him .
" Introducing myself . "
" He clearly knows you , every body in this place does. " I said but he returned the favour for Alan and ignored me and faced back to Alan .
" Who are you , and what connection do you have with my mate ?" He asked boldly although he's voice maintained . Calm and princely .
" What , Reina . Reina is your mate ? No , freaking way ..." My brother said in excitement as his face bloomed up .
" Ohh darn it . " I muttered as I rubbed my forehead out of irritation and spaced myself from the two to get some air. If Allan knows then everyone back home will know . And I doubt mom and dad will ever be on my side on running from my Mate who happens to even be their prince .
" I'm her elder brother , Allan . Allan Adams . Your highness . " Allan quickly introduced himself. his face all plastered with a big smile and excitement .
" Then that makes you family . you came to search for Reina if I'm not mistaken . I and her had a talk about her getting back at the human realm and came to an agreement . I'm bringing her back in the evening . So I believe you could inform your parents to stop the search . "
" Oh , okay . I I'm going to find a way and inform then . Your highness . "
" Okay then I'll have to take a go , excuse me . " Raymond said and then vernishes in to thin air .
" What the . No freaking way . " I muttered surprised . The snap of Allan's fingers in front of my face brought me back to him .
" I knew it Reina . I was right . I knew you'd find your mate eventually. This is such great news " Allan congratuled but sincerely i was feeling more like i had lost instead of archiving something .
"Cut it out Allan . We both know i wasn't not into finding my mate . Gah why did that moon goddess of yours have to remember me . I'm a dragon for goodness sake . "
" Reina don't be silly . You're so lucky. You even were paired to such a cool and good looking mate . I think you should think things through wisely before you make any mistake such as rejecting him. " He warned but I just rolled my eyes at his statements.
" As if he would let to. " I muttered
"So where's mom and dad . I'm dying to see my mom's face and hug her breath out .
" Crazy girl . You're planning on suffocating your own mom what a little monster . "
" Allan please don't jock on this . I need to see them now ..please.
" Okay , okay calm down . Mom and dad didn't actually come they had to stay back since mom was under treatment . She had cried her eyes out the past days as we were searching for you . Seriously you should have told us you found your mate and you're visiting him instead of just vanishing in one night . Do you know how much we have been worried about you ? " He scolded .
" Calm down Allan . I also didn't want this to happen . In fact I hadn't even found my mate the night i disappeared . Everything happened so fast and wild in my life Allan, and trust me in these small amount of days I have gone through a lot ." I said and suddenly the flash backs of Saline come back to my mind and how she wept my back mercilessly. And tears started building up in my eyes . Remembering how much helpless I was at that time.
Harsh , calm down now baby . Let's go to the Guest room and talk further . " He said as he pulled me in for a small comforting hug .
" I will tale you about everything you want to know as soon as I hear from mom and dad . " I said and straightened out of his hands to walk once more . He lead the way downstairs and then to the rooms hallway . Where we found Kiran still standing patiently waiting for my return along with Haley and Carly . .
I immediately apologized to them for making them wait for so long but each didn't seem to even have the slightest of anger in her face and their eyes were all on Alan from the time I introduced him to them . Carla even forgot how to speak her name right . " Guys this is my brother Allan .
" Hi , "he said
" Hi I'm cart i mean Carla . " Carla quickly introduced herself and offered her hand . Allan took it and shook it . But when he pulled back Carla wasn't seeming to let go causing Allan to pull back forcefully. And Carla gave off an awkward chuckle. I mentioned each one's name . And then we walked along with them . " Madison wasn't together with the girls . She had to attend to something important according to Haley but I didn't care . I wasn't even in need of her at the moment.
We stopped at a room after taking different turns and stairs but good enough they weren't as many as the ones to my room . Alan opened the door for the five of us .
The room wasn't big as mine and the ones I have been to recently but I guess it was due to the fact that this room was divided into a bedroom and a seating . The room as expected was also well decorated and furnished with luxury furniture and stuff . But not as good as that on the royals floor.
" Reina , I'm so glad you're okay . " Alex said as he quickly walked to me and pulled me into a hug which I also gave in to with Joy . " Where were you? what happened . Are .. you okay?"
" Man , that's a lot of questions and I'm about not to be okay if you keep on squeezing my breath out ?"
He chuckled lightly , let me go and kissed my forehead tenderly .
I turned and introduced my friends and he gestured the couch to us . The girls looked at Allan and then Alex in awe and confusion . Ohh I almost forgot that these guys look literally the same . It is difficult to say who is who if they are wearing similar outfits .
"They are twins" I said clearing their minds . Alex sat at the remaining sofa whereas Allan went and got a small stand and sat .
" Alex , you are never going to believe what happened to her . " Allan said and Alex
Allan handed me something which was kind of like a hand mirror but the difference was that this one wasn't transparent at either its back or front . . It was green and glowed luminously .
" What's this ?" I asked
" Let's just say the phone that's capable of calling through different realms . It has another name but I doubt you'll be able to remember it since it's complicated " .
" I've seen that thing once with my dad and never with anyone else in the realm . I "Haley said .
" So. How does it work ?"
" That's easy , all you have to do is to place your hand on this side where the hand is pasted and then you let your aura open it to whoever you want to talk to. "
" Wait I thought this thing works as a telephone or something ?" Kiran asked.
" Yes " Alex replied .
" But that would need for the person on the other side to have something similar to this one . " Kiran stated .
" No , once she makes contact with the mirror the one she needs to speak with will have some light similar to a firefly appear to him or her and then they will receive her voice . " Alex explained .
" Cool " Carla exclaimed.
" Okay but first you tell me what the heck you ment when you said using my aura."
" Aura is your magic . That comes from both souls of you and your dragon . " Allan answered.
" You mean dragons have magic like the witches and fairies . "
" Not really , from what I know dragons are similar to wolves . We can't basically use our auras like the magic users but we can use it on different items and that's the very same magic that helps as to shift bodies with our inner selves.
"Okay , Then . Teach me how to do it. "I said as i placed my hand on the print that was on the mirror and closed my eyes waiting for Alex or Allan to instruct me further .
" That's not necessary you have accessed your fire breath and strength . Thus your dragon must know how to do that . " Allan said and then I waited for Nivan to do her thing .
About two minutes passed and everyone was already starting to give up since they all say it doesn't take long for an aura to activate but then the mirror glowed more brighter and I hard my mom's voice .
" Alex , Allan . Is that you boys.? Do you have any news about her ? " She quickly asked . Now I know where the boys got the habit of asking too much questions at the same time .
" It's..... it's me mom. It's not the boys . It's Reina . " I said joyfully as tears of joy built up in my eyes and soon before I realised it i had turned extra emotional and I was sobbing out of happiness to hear her voice once more .
She was silent for some seconds but then talked .
" Thank goodness they have found you . Where are you and what happened to you .?why did you leave al of a sudden ?
Do you have any idea what I your father and brothers have gone through to search for you .? "
" Mom , you're asking too much at the same time but don't worry I'm going to answer each and every one of your questions my beloved mum . " I replied happy .
POV: author.
Raymond was training with his beta Net . Each launching and dodging another's punches and kicks at the training grounds .
" What's distracting your mind Raymond . " Nate suddenly asked as he continued launching at Raymond.
" What exactly are you referring to? "
" Come on man , we grew up together . I know you . Besides if you were into this you would have already put me down by now. " Nate said and Raymond jumped on him causing him to collide with the ground and had his hand on his neck .
" End of game . " He said marking his victory as always and offered his hand to help him get up .
One of the girls in training quickly came over with two towels and gave them to wipe away the sweat that was on their bodies .
She smiled flattish after they handled them back to her and then walked off . The two didn't even seem to notice her due to the fact that they were used to such girls almost every day .
" So , tell me, is it about your mate ? " Nate asked and Raymond sighed .
" She has this annoying way of being stubborn . She tends to do what she wants at any time she wants . And above all I'm shocked by the nerve she's got . She's not afraid of me even the slightest . Unlike others ,. I can't deny they can flirt and all but none has got the gatts to speak to me bluntly as she does . "
" Ooh I see . So she's giving you a challenge . "
" For now she is but at the human realm I doubt it's going to be easy bringing her back here . " Raymond said . A pinch of frustration in his voice before a loud bang of the entrance door was heard . Causing everyone to snap his or her neck to face the door in curiosity.
At it stood a boy with lots of wound s on his face and chest that was already bare as he kept on panting and taking heavy breaths . His hair ,blonde and curly but mixed with blood and after a few seconds he fell to the floor and lost consciousness right there at the entrance . .
