“We will have to make plans to visit at night.” I told him, touching my nose to his.
“Come, my queen. There’s something I want you to try”, Derek said, grabbing my hand and pulling me toward what smelt like a bakery.
“And what am I trying?” I asked him as we stepped inside.
“We had a special pasty made with dragon fruit.” He answered as we waited in line.
“Dragon fruit?” I asked him.
“Not that dragon fruit. The human dragon fruit is different,” he explained.
“Okay, let’s get one for Mason. I want him to try it too,” I told him. He pulled me to his side.
“Of course, Babygirl.” He said, kissing my temple.
When we made it to the front of the line, Derek ordered while I looked around the small bakery. It smelt like heaven in here. And they had everything you could imagine. Cakes, pies, breads, and cookies lined the glass showcases.
“Ashlyn, there’s someone I’d like you to meet.” Derek said, pulling me back to his side. There was a little old lady standing on the other side of the counter. She has white hair, and she only came up to my shoulders.
“Ashlyn, this is Ms. Evans. Ms. Evans, this is my mate, Ashlyn.” Derek introduced us. She rushed around the counter, taking my hands in hers.
“Its lovely to meet you, Ashlyn. I’m so happy our future king has found his queen.” She told me.
“Its lovely to meet someone who knows my Derek,” I said, and she giggled.
“Oh, the stories I could tell you, my dear,” She said.
“No stories.” Derek said, and I looked at him.
“Just one?” I asked him.
“My dear, come for tea.” Ms. Evans said.
“I would love that,” I told her.
“You two have fun, and don’t be a stranger.” She called out, while Derek was pulling me outside.
“It was nice to meet you, Ms. Evans.” I called back to her.
“Derek, what was that?” I asked him when we were outside.
“She’s my mom’s mother,” he said.
“What?” I asked him, stunned.
“She’s your grandmother?” I exclaimed.
“Yes,” he answered. He walked over to the fountain and took a seat, and I sat beside him.
“So why did we go there?” I asked him.
“She makes the best pastries. Also, I don’t hate her. Her daughter, yes, but she is nothing like her daughter.” Derek said, passing me a pastry. It looked like a Danish and it smelt heavenly.
“I’m sorry, Derek.” I told him.
“It’s fine.” He answered, looking at me.
“Aren’t you going to try it?” He asked me impatiently.
“Just one more question,” I asked him, and he groaned.
“Fine, what is it?”
“If she is your grandmother, then why doesn’t she live in the castle?” I asked him.
“She has her business. She has always been a very independent person. Now try.” he said.
Sighing, I lifted the pastry to my lips. As soon as I took a bite, my entire life changed. I let out a moan as I chewed the mind-blowing pastry. It was sweet and tangy, and the flavors exploded on my tongue.
“Good?” Derek chuckled.
“Oh my, I want to live in this.” I exclaimed before taking another bite. And then it hit me.
“Did she teach Matt?” I asked him, chewing.
“Why would you think that?” He asked me.
“Have you not tried his cupcakes?” I asked him.
“Matt and I are cousins. His father is my mother’s brother,” Derek explained.
“And you didn’t want to learn how to bake?” I asked him.
“She taught me as well. We just have a unique relationship since her daughter left me.” He answered.
“First, teach me. Second, I’m so sorry about your mother. That couldn’t have been easy.” I told him, taking his hand.
“It doesn’t matter now. I have you and our family,” he said.
“And we have you.” I told him, smiling at him.
After finishing my pastry, I was dying for another one.
“Open,” Derek said, holding the rest of his up. I did what he asked, putting the rest into my mouth.
“How did you know?” I asked him, still chewing.
“Really? I wished you looked at me like you were looking at my pastry.” He laughed.
“Or I can just lick it off of you?” I told him, giving him a smirk. He looked at me, stunned, until shaking his head.
“Such a tease.” He said, standing up. He took my hand and helped me up before pulling me into his chest.
“You know you’d like it,” I whispered, licking my lips.
“I would love it. And you are mine when we get back to the castle.” he said, his voice husky with lust.
“Your kind isn’t welcome here.” Someone called out, pulling me from my moment with Derek. I looked around and noticed that we had a crowd around us and the warriors were standing in front of them, preventing them from getting closer to us.
“You dare speak to your future queen?” Derek growled out, and the crowd gasped.
“It’s okay, Derek,” I whispered, patting his chest.
“Who said that?” I asked the crowd.
“I did.” An older man stepped forward. And Lance was immediately in front of him.
“It’s okay, Lance. Let him through. He clearly has something to say,” I said. Lance moved aside, but followed the man as he walked over to me.
“Now, what seems to be the problem?” I asked him.
“Your kind will bring down the entire dragon kingdom,” he growled out. Freya growled, shaking the ground. The man’s face paled, and I noticed Lance was smirking.
“Sorry about that. My dragon doesn’t enjoy being disrespected. What’s your name?” I asked him.
“Jeremy,” he answered.
“Well Jeremy, I’m Ashlyn. Now, can you explain why you think that?” I asked him. Derek wrapped an arm around my hips, pulling me to his side.
“Hybrids will be the death of all of us.” Jeremy said, not answering my question. Maybe he didn’t know why he was so afraid.
“And who told you this?” I asked him.
“We have all heard the rumors. You killed the vampire king, and our king will be next.” He growled out.
“Prince Derek is my mate, the father of my child. What makes you think I would ever kill him?” I asked him. Jeremy shifted on his feet, clearly uncomfortable with my question.
“You don’t know, do you?” I asked him. He said nothing.
“I killed the vampire king because I had no choice. He was planning to steal my powers and take over the other kingdoms. I did what I had to do to stop him.” I told him, as he looked at the ground.
“You’re not the one planning to take over?” He asked.
“Nope, I just want to have a date with my mate without having to worry about being yelled at. I did what I had to do to protect my family, and any of you would have done the same. You’re just looking at it differently because I’m different. Yes, I’m a wolf witch. My brother is the king of the magic kingdom. My mates are both future kings of their kingdoms. Why would I need to take over?” I asked him.
“I don’t know,” he stuttered out.
“Don’t believe her lies.” Someone yelled out.
“Bring him to me.” Derek growled out, making Jeremy jump.
