“Really? Thats fucken cool.” He exclaimed.
“Your council doesn’t seem to think so.” I shrugged. Lance was right about what he told me earlier. Only the people in power care about the hybrids. It definitely could be someone manipulating the masses to believe that we are a threat when we aren’t.
“How did everything go after I left?” I asked Derek and Mason.
“First, you’re a badass. Second, they all tried to apologize to us and to ask for your forgiveness. I think they believe you will freeze the kingdom.” Mason answered, pulling me to his side.
“Wow.” I said, shaking my head.
“Yeah, that sounds about right,” Lance said, and Derek chuckled.
“It’s all fun and games until a badass dragon shows up.”
“One that could definitely wipe us all out,” Lance added.
“I don’t understand? How could Freya do that?” I asked them.
“Dragons are weak against freezing temperatures. Ice dragons were very rare, but were royalty. They could have wiped out the entire dragon population.” Derek answered, and Lance agreed with him.
“Okay, I now understand their fear. I’d fear me too, but I don’t want to hurt anyone. I just want to walk down the street without someone trying to kill me and my son.” I sighed.
“So, what do you want to do, Babygirl? You want a tour of the kingdom?” Derek asked me.
“I do, but I don’t want to put anyone at risk,” I told him. It conflicted me. If it was just me, I would do it, but I have James and Mason to worry about.
“Lance, get the team together and meet us out front in twenty minutes.” Derek commanded.
“On it, boss.” he told him.
“It was nice meeting you three,” Lance said before he left us.
“You okay, Baby?” Mason asked me, while Derek led us back to his wing.
“Yeah, I’m okay. I’m sorry if I made that situation worse for both of you,” I said.
“Babygirl, they will all get over it. And I’m sure one, if not all, of them will call your people for a meeting,” Derek chuckled.
“I’m my people,” I laughed.
“You handled that, like the queen you are.” Mason said, kissing my temple. James fell asleep before I started talking to Lance and he snuggled into my chest.
“Do you think maybe your father would be safe watching James?” I asked Derek as we entered our wing.
“You want to leave him?” Mason asked me.
“I just think that he would be safer here. Lance said that there has been a rise in hybrid haters. I just don’t want him to get hurt,” I told them.
“Derek, what do you think?” Mason asked him. All of us walked into our room and I went to lay James down in his room. After I was done, I headed into our closet to get changed while the guys discussed what they wanted to do. I didn’t want to leave James, but I didn’t want to have him out in the open, either.
“Freya, next time, can you warn me about the dress?” I asked her.
“I’ll try.” She answered. The dress disappeared, and I could get dressed.
“What do you think we should do?” I asked her.
“I can take care of all of you, but it’s whatever you feel most comfortable with. I understand your fear, but I think you’d feel better with James with you,” Freya said.
I walked out of the closet and found my mates sitting on the couch. I walked down the few stairs and flapped down beside Derek, resting my head on his lap. He started brushing my hair away from my face while looking down at me.
“Everything okay, Babygirl?” He asked me.
“Yeah, I’m just torn about what we should do. What have you two decided?” I asked them.
“Mason said that he would stay with James and my father,” Derek said, and I sighed.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Mason asked, leaning over, looking down at me.
“I think we should all stick together. I know I said we could ask Victor, but I don’t think I’d be able to leave him. Maybe you should ask Lance to wait until James is up from his nap.” I told them.
“Baby, I’m okay with you and Derek going together. The people should see you both together.” Mason said, leaning down, kissing my forehead.
“You’re his mate, too. You should be there with us.” I sighed.
“I’ll be here, protecting our son. And there will be time for us all to have a tour. But I think it would be best for James and I to stay here. Victor will come visit and we will have a few guards outside the door,” Mason said.
“Fine, but only if you are okay with it,” I told him, and he nodded.
“Mason knows I’ll show him off later,” Derek chuckled.
“Haha, hilarious.” Mason faked chuckled.
“Oh, you love it.” Derek teased.
“You two are just so adorable.” I cooed.
“Only for you, Baby.” Mason mumbled against my forehead.
“Should we go meet Lance and the team?” Derek asked me.
“Okay,” I breathed out.
“We will be fine, Baby. You go have a good time with Derek.” Mason said, helping me up from the couch.
“Ugh. Fine, but then I want a date with just you.” I told him.
“Anything for you, Baby.” He said, before he pressed his lips to mine.
“Okay, that’s enough, you two, or we will never leave.” Derek told us. Victor coming into the room, caused us to pull apart.
“My dear, I won’t let anything happen to my son-in-law or my grandson. Go have some fun.” Victor told me. My stomach was still in knots about leaving them. But I guess Freya could always fly back if anything was to happen.
“Okay, just let me say goodbye to my boy and then I’ll be ready.” I told them. I needed to see James before I left. My anxiety would not let me leave without seeing him.
James was fast asleep in his crib, and I kissed his forehead before leaving him to sleep. He has had such an exciting morning. I kissed Mason before Derek led me out of the wing. They placed guards on either side of the door, and as we walked, there were more guards placed around the castle. I felt better about the guards, but I wish I knew and trusted them. It’s not like at home where I trust my warriors that guard the house.
“Babygirl, everything will be okay.” Derek said, pulling me close.
“I know, but after what happened, I’m still worried about leaving. Let’s not go too far.” I told him.
“We will just go for a walk downtown. I’ll show you all the local spots and you can see how the dragons do things,” he said.
“Don’t you do things the same as everyone else?” I asked him.
“I guess you’ll have to wait and see for yourself.” He said, leading me out the front door. There were a few vehicles waiting for us, with warriors standing around beside them. Lance met us while we made our way to the middle vehicle.
“Downtown?” he asked Derek.
“You know the spot,” Derek told him, and he nodded.
Derek opened the back door of the vehicle and I slid across the seat so Derek could climb in behind me. Lance hopped into the front passenger seat and another warrior took the driver’s seat. I wish Matt were here. I would feel more comfortable with another dragon that I knew and trusted.
“My queen, is this your first visit?” Lance asked me.
“It is,” I answered, looking out the window. The castle was on top of a mountain and you could see the entire city below. It was beautiful, with tall mountains all around the city. I was in awe as the vehicle made its way down the mountain to the city. Flower gardens lined the road that led out of the castle grounds. I could see massive statues of dragons inside the gardens over the hedges.
“This place is beautiful,” I whispered. Derek leaned over, kissing my shoulder.
“Its more beautiful with you here.” he mumbled against my shoulder.
“Awe, my big powerful dragon,” I said, turning in my seat so I could look at him. I leaned in and pecked his lips.
“So, where are we going?” I mumbled against his lips.
“You’re going to love it.”

I was in awe as we pulled up to a cobbled stone square with a beautiful water fountain. Shops lined the street, and it was like stepping back in time. The Wolf kingdom is more modern, more like the human world, but this place was like stepping into a fairytale. As soon as the vehicle stopped, I jumped out, trying to take everything in. They made all the buildings of stone, even the street. I guess it made sense. Wood burns and I’m surrounded by fire-breathing dragons.
I walked over to the fountain, completely lost in the moment. Derek came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me back into his chest.
“Probably shouldn’t wander off, Babygirl.” He mumbled into my neck. Looking around, I noticed many people had stopped what they were doing and were now staring at us.
“Sorry.” I said, turning in his arms.
“I love having you here.” He said, pecking my lips. I heard people around us whispering about who I was and why their future king was kissing me.
“This place is magical, like out of a fairytale.” I told him.
“Its more beautiful at night.” He said, pulling me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck as we shared this special moment.
