“Jeremy, do you have any further questions?” I asked him.
“No, my queen, I’m sorry I interrupted your date.” He said. I moved away from Derek and walked over to Jeremey.
“I’m not here to hurt anyone. Just like you, I want to live a peaceful life,” I told him. He looked at me and nodded.
“If you have any more questions, contact the dragon castle and they will direct you to me.” I told him.
“Sorry, again, my queen.” he said, bowing his head. Just as he went to walk away, another warrior dragged up a man. He glared at me before spitting in front of me.
“Fucken hybrid.” the man growled out. Derek stepped in front of me and punched the man in the stomach.
“Don’t you dare speak to my mate and your future queen,” Derek growled out as the man coughed. I pulled Derek back beside me, hitting him would not answer my questions.
“What’s your problem with hybrids?” I asked him. He sneered as he looked up at me, hunched over in pain from Derek’s blow.
“You’re an abomination,” he spit out. Before I could stop Freya, she stepped out of me. She grew to her full size before whipping around. The man paled and his mouth hung open as he looked up at Freya. The crowd that had gathered were all gasping and whispering.
“Say that again, tough guy.” Freya growled out. The man gulped, shaking in fear as Freya watched him.
“Freya, be nice.” I told my dragon.
“Tell me why you think that?” I asked the man again. He didn’t answer as he stared at my dragon behind me.
“I think that all of you have been believing the wrong people. The rumors are fueling your fears, but hybrids are nothing to fear. We are people, just like you. We are just trying to live our lives.” I yelled out.
“How the fuck can you say that? You literally have a dragon that could wipe out this entire kingdom.” the man said, finding his voice.
“Freya is here to protect me and my family. And all of you. If I wanted to take over, do you think I’d just be walking around the city?” I asked him, and he looked away from me. Ms. Evans walked over to us. The warriors must have let her through.
“You should be ashamed of yourself, Mr. Edwards. She is our future queen and the mother of our heir. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” She scolded the man.
“If anyone has a problem with our future queen, you are no longer welcome in my bakery,” she yelled out.
“This young lady has done nothing to warrant this disrespect. And all of you would be wise to heed the ice dragon’s warning.” She continued.
“Ms. Evans, thank you.” I told her sincerely.
“There is no need to thank me, my dear. I know you will be a wonderful queen and mate to our prince.” She told me.
“If no one else has a problem with my queen, then move along.” Derek yelled out.
“If anyone has any concerns, I would like to hear them,” I called out. Derek gave me a pointed look, and I returned it.
“I want to earn their trust,” I told him and he sighed.
“Date over then?” He asked me. Just then, pain hit me through the bond, causing me to whimper as I grabbed at my mark.
“Something’s wrong.” I rushed out, panting as my panic reached a new level.
“Fire at the castle,” Lance called out. I turned to see smoke rising high in the sky.
“Freya,” I yelled out. She dropped her head, and I climbed on. She took off towards the castle. My heart and stomach were in knots as we flew up to the castle. I tried to reach out to Mason, but he wasn’t answering.
Magnus was behind me. As he arrived at the castle, our wing was on fire and the flames burned hot as Freya approached the fire. She blew out her icy breath and the fire instantly went out, freezing half the castle. I scanned the ground to find Mason and our son. It was chaos on the ground and I couldn’t make anyone out.
“Freye, find Mason.” I yelled at her.
Leaving the Dragon Kingdom
Ashlyn
I spotted Derek holding James from the air. He was standing by an ambulance with Victor.
“Down!” I yelled at Freya. She landed as close as she could to the ambulance. I jumped off of her back before she hit the ground and took off running towards the ambulance.
“Where’s Mason?” I screamed.
“Take James and I’ll find him, babygirl.” Derek rushed out, and I knew he was also panicking.
As soon as I took James, my body glowed white. I instantly healed him. He didn’t look like he had been burnt, but he could have had lung damage from the smoke.
“Derek, I need you to find him.” I rushed out, tears filling my eyes as I looked up at my mate.
“I’ll find him, I promise. Stay with my father.” He said, kissing my cheek before he ran off.
“Freya, go with him.” I yelled at her. She nodded and took to the sky again.
“Victor, are you okay?” I asked him, turning my attention to my father-in-law.
“Just a few burns, nothing I can’t handle.” He shrugged it off.
James snuggled into my chest, gripping him. I should never have left them alone. I thought they would be safe here.
Taking Victor’s hand, the bright white light returned to heal him. I should never have put him at risk. Guilt and worry churn violently in my stomach as I wait for Derek.
“Victor, can you tell me what happened?” I asked him, sitting beside him on the ambulance steps.
“I was sitting with James. Mason had gone to make a bottle, and then the room exploded. I protected James with my body, but I don’t know what happened to Mason.” He told me.
“Derek and Freya will find him. I can feel he’s alive.” I told him.
“I’m so sorry, my dear. I should have been able to protect them. This is my kingdom,” Victor said.
“It’s not your fault. Was anyone else hurt?” I asked him. I needed to do something. The wait was going to kill me.
“A few of the warriors. No casualties. That side of the castle had been cleared out to ensure your safety when you were here,” he said.
“Fuck. Who the hell could have done this?” I breathed out, frustrated by this whole mess.
“I don’t think it’s just vampires,” Victor answered.
“This is becoming exhausting,” I said, on the verge of tears.
“It will be okay, my dear.” Victor said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
“If anything happened to Mason, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” I cried.
“He will be okay. He’s strong for a wolf and his love for his family is even stronger. Whatever happens, he will pull through. He’s too stubborn to die.” Victor said.
Freya landed nearby and my anxiety picked up.
“Freya, where are they?” I yelled at her. She motioned with her head, pointing behind me. I rushed around the ambulance to see Derek helping Mason to walk. I rushed over to them and wrapped my arm around the other side of Mason.
My body glowed brightly again as I healed him. It burned most of his clothes and I could see it charred his chest from the blast.
“Baby,” Mason breathed out as soon as the light faded.
“Mason, I’m so sorry.” I cried, holding on to him the best I could while holding James. I never wanted to let any of them go ever again.
“Baby, I’m okay. I was just unconscious. Derek and Freya found me covered in snow.” Mason mumbled into my neck.
“Good thing for the snow. It helped stop the burning.” Derek said.
“We are going home now.” I told them, firmly. I was never leaving home again.
“I need to stay to help my father clean up this mess,” Derek said. Mason and I both pulled away from each other to look at him.
“You are coming home. I’m not losing you.” I told him.
“Babygirl, I have to. This is my kingdom and whoever did this threatened my family.” Derek answered, wrapping his arms around me.
“I need you three safe right now. This happened in my kingdom, and I won’t stand for it. Someone almost killed my mate and the heir to the dragon kingdom. Whoever did this just started a war.” Derek told us.
“Baby, Derek is right. He needs to take a stand,” Mason said.
“I can’t lose you.” I told him, on the verge of sobbing.
“Babygirl, I’ll be okay. I’ll be home soon. I just need to clean up this mess.” He said before kissing my forehead.
“I got them.” Mason told him.
“I know you do.” Derek said, before kissing him.
“I’m glad that you’re okay.” He told Mason, resting his forehead against his.
“Thanks for coming to my rescue,” Mason told him with a chuckle.
“Anytime.” Derek told him with a smirk.
“Derek, I don’t like this.” I told him, snuggling my face into his chest. James and Mason occupied all my arms.
