Amber’s POV
Callus’s dragon snorts smoke, as he starts to walk back and forth and stares at . I’m standing, beside a heavy breathing dragon mate, while not taking my eyes off the angry King in front of .
After what seed like hours, which was only like five minutes, Callus shifts to his human form. The young man gives him so clothes to put on. His face is sour, and I’m beginning to suspect it is a permanent state of it.
"You have so nerve to command , girl!" He states while shaking his head.
"My na is Amber, not girl. And I don’t like your attitude." I answer, crossing my arms. I feel Chase shift beside , and his arms snake around while my body keeps him modest. A small corner of my mind registers that he is naked, standing up close to . Ignis practically do sorsaults in my head in sheer excitent.
"How dare you speak to the King that way, you peasant." The young man yells at . I have yet to put the barrier down, so he can’t do anything else than give a death stare.
"I speak to him as I please, and if you ever call a peasant again I can’t promise you’ll see tomorrow. My wolf doesn’t tolerate imbeciles, and you are working on her last nerve." I tell him before sending a wave of heat at him. His eyes widen, and he steps back.
"Witch!" He screams while pointing a finger at . As if that’s a big no no! Damn, he’s stupid.
"Big surprise, I am the next in line to be the witch Queen," I say with an eye roll. Chase laughs and squeezes my arms.
’Ignore my cousin, he’s an idiot.’ He says in my mind, amusent battling with sothing else. Sothing dark.
We stand there in silence for a while, staring at each other - having a new stand off. I don’t know what’s going on, but sothing tells Chase and everyone else is having a silent conversation. His eyes are unfocused, and his body tense and relaxed on its own accord.
Patience has never been my strong suite, so when I feel I have waited long enough I interrupt the mind-link between Callus and Chase.
The discussion goes on between Chase and his father, out loud this ti, which results in us moving toward the castle.
They have agreed on giving a trial for the next month or so, though I doubt I’ll stay the whole month if things do not change. Chase is sweet and attentive, he hasn’t left my side since the rough landing, but there is sothing inside that still feels... Empty. As if I’m missing sothing important.
The castle is beautiful, if not a little outdated. It’s like walking into the past - the style of everything giving an ’old ti’ vibe. Don’t get wrong - the furniture and everything is luxurious and no doubt, expensive.
Then there is the increasing uneasiness inside , like soone is watching , but I can’t point them out. It sends chills down my spine.
"Are you okay? Cold? Co on, we’ll find sothing warr for you." Chase says, while taking my hand. He has just shown my room, which is opposite his. Despite his father’s protest, he insisted on at least sleeping in a room close to his.
His father wanted on the other end of the castle, and when I asked why he didn’t just lock in the highest tower, his dry response was "Trust , the thought is not unappealing to ."
Chase takes to his room, where he finds a sweater for to wear. I don’t have the heart to tell him I am not cold - I’m never cold, to be honest. Possibly because of my elent being fire.
"Chase, can I ask you sothing?" I say while studying his room more closely.
"Of course, anything." He answers as he gives the sweater. I smile. The possibility of him just wanting his scent all over is higher than him actually thinking to be cold. He knows I’m a fire elental.
"What is your father’s aversion towards other species?" I ask, looking him in the eyes. I know it’s a bold move to be so forward, but I need answers.
"Oh, uhm. Well, it goes beyond my father, to be honest, but he is a very stubborn guy in that departnt. Eh. The other Kings are speaking about allowing other species into our bloodlines - but it’s still just talk." He says while avoiding my eyes. I nod to myself.
"But... You accept ?" I ask, my voice small. I want him to accept , but not just to defy his father.
"YES! I absolutely do! I accept every part of you, Amber. I have accepted you since the day you were born." He answers with detrint in his voice. He walks to , putting his finger under my chin and lifting my head. Our eyes t - mine doubtful and his soft and sure.
"I was sent to the human realm in an attempt from my father to forget you, but what he didn’t know was; I went to a dragon witch before my departnt, who made the amulet letting visit you in the dream world. That way I could still be with you, even if you didn’t know who I was."
"Why didn’t you tell ?" I ask. I have to know. I have wondered and dreamt of so many things through the years.
Before he can answer a low whistle sounds from my pocket, and Flick crawls out. She is not happy that I have seemingly forgotten about her.
"Well, hello there little one," Chase says in a low sweet voice and I laugh.
Way to blow the mood, Flick.
