Badass Rogue and Her Alpha Mate

Part #8

Delilah ~

"This all sounds very great Caroline but I need to tell you something before you start wanting me to basically be your daughter." She looks a bit worried and I inform her I'll tell her when we get to her house, as there's too many people around here. When we get to the house Caroline basically drags me into the living telling Leonard to grab the things. She sits on the couch and Leonard joins her and I stand in front of them. I clear my throat and look at them.

"Ok so um, I'm not sure how to say this so I'm just going to come out and say it." Caroline looks worried but I think Leonard got the gist of it. I take a deep breath, look at the floor and say,

"I'm a dragon/witch hybrid."  I look up when I don't hear anything and I see Caroline having a bit of a knowing look but also a shocked look.

"Dear we both already knew you were a witch, but the dragon part is a bit surprising. Is that where you went today, did you shift?" I nod and ask her,

"How did you know I was a witch? And aren't you mad about it?" She smiles warmly at me.

"No dear I'm not because I know you're not bad like the rest of the other witches, well, most of the witches, and as for how I know, when you told Leonard he opened up the mate mind link we have which allows us to see, feel, smell everything the other person is experiencing. We basically become one with them." I give Leonard a look but he merely shrugs.

"Technically I didn't tell her, she heard it." I smirk at how he found a loop hole. Caroline claps her hands and then says,

''Can we please see your dragon? I've never gotten to see one up close and personal before." I nod at her with a very light smile.

"Not in here though, unless you don't want this half of your house anymore." She laughs wile pulling me out to the backyard.

"Hurry up Leonard!" She yells as we're making our way outside.

"Ok but when I turn back to human I'll be n***d so if you could turn around and I'll will some clothes onto me, alright?" They nod and I c***k my neck preparing to shift freely for the first time. 

It stars off with the tail, then the wings, and then the rest comes until standing in my place is a purple dragon as big as a royal one. Caroline and even Leonard looks a bit in awe. No surprise as I am pretty awesome.

"May I?'' I nod at Caroline and she places her hand on my side. Her smile grows. 

"Leonard come touch her scales, feel how beautiful they feel." He comes and places his hand on my side. I motion my head towards my back and I think they get the hint as they climb on and old onto my scales.

"Are you going to fly dear?" I nod and she responds with,

"Please not too high or fast as I'm not the biggest fan or really big heights. I nod, spread my wings and we're off. I merely glide over the trees of the forest until I hear Caroline yell out to me,

"HIGHER DEAR!" I fly higher so now we're around the size of an average mountain.

"EVEN HIGHER!" I nod and go above the clouds and we stay there, me just pushing my wings when I feel we're going to fall. It is so relaxing up there, there's no feeling like it.

I motion my head downwards to say I'm going to go back down and I go slowly, not wanting them to fall or anything like that. I land back in there backyard and once they're off I shift back. I will a pair of jeans and jumper onto me and say to them, 

"I'm all decent now." Caroline spins around and gives me the biggest hug.

"Thank you so much Delilah1 That was so exciting and beautiful and any other word you can think of!'' I nod and tell her and Leonard,

"There is something else I haven't told you guys yet." I say I'll tell them back in the living room and give them the news I haven't told another soul, well besides the ones that know already.

"Well so you know about me being a hybrid and that's good. I trust you both to keep this secret and that's why I told you. There is, however, one part that I left out. My father is King Devon Samuel Corbyn of the Dragons, and my mother was Queen Azure Delilah Caine. My mother died during birth to me, and they told her of this risk as hybrids aren't meant to exist. My father loved me but loved my brother more as he didn't kill his mate. My father had a son before he met my mother, and his name was Devon Samuel Corbyn Jr, but I called him DJ. My father kept my identity pretty hidden as the news of a dragon shifter and a witch would cause havoc. Everyone would want something that can kill basically anything right? One night, one of my father's most trusted man, attempted to kidnap me one night, and unfortunately my brother heard, so he kidn*pped him as well. This happened when I was seven and he was eleven. We were kept captive for six to seven years, and that's how I got my scars. One night we saw the opportunity to escape, and we took it, we ran for so long until one night they found us. Devon pushed me to go on and not to look back. He told me to only come if he heard me telling him it was safe, so I ran to the top of the hills, and I stayed there for a day and I still hadn't heard anything from him, so I went back down and I found him there, lying on the floor barely breathing. I tried to heal him but since I had been deprived of my powers for so long and had no actual training I couldn't heal him. Before he died he told me that it wasn't me fault, that he loved me, and I should always keep running, to never stop. After he took his last breathe I cried next to his body for three hours and then I buried his near the river as it was his favourite spot. Then I was running for a few years before your son found me. That's why I was so reluctant in staying with your sons pack, and with you calling me DJ, and I'm sorry for snapping and acting crazy but for a long time in my life I was raised to be the perfect killing machine, trained to perfection everyday, and any mistakes you would get a new scar added to your body." When I stop I look up and see Caroline crying her eyes out and Leonard looks like he wants to cry but I know the Alpha in him wouldn't allow it.

Caroline runs up and hugs me and I cry my eyes out in her arms for I'm not sure how long. When I'm sure there's no tears left, I lift my head up and give Caroline a big smile.

"I am so sorry for everything you have been through in your life, and I'm sure your brother was a brilliant brother if he meant that much to you. But you don't have to be afraid anymore. You have us, and the pack, plus you have your father, the dragons and the witches to fight off the bad guys." I shake my head at the last part. 

"I could never go back to my father. He would be so furious at me to know I was the reason for another death of the ones he loves the most. He would kill me or just give me back to Joshua, and I can never go back there. Plus the witches are all mad at me as they also believe I'm the reason my mother died. And the pack are not equipped to handle the type of people that want me. They are far too powerful and specialise in killing all different species. I could never put the pact through that." Caroline looks like she wants to say something more but I interrupt with,

"Would you like to meet Devon?" My question sets her back.

"How can we meet him if he's not with us?" I smirk and stand back a bit giving myself some room to preform spell.

"Hear these words,

Hear my cry.

Spirits from the other side, 

Come to me I summon thee.

Cross now the great divide!" Smoke starts filling the room and soon enough Devon is standing right there smiling at me.

"Hi Lilah." He smiles and I smile back, then we hear something hit the floor hard. It was Caroline who had fainted, oh crap.
