My chimera mate

Episode 20

Miane's POV

The next day I rush down to find my grandfather while he is still alone. I find him on his way out the door. "Hey grandpa where are you going" as I catch up to him. "Hey darling, I'm on my way to the shop your grandmother has some stuff to do today so I will be at the shop most of the day. Do you want to join me for while?" He asks as we approach his car. I don't have to think twice about it and I quickly mind link Jeandre telling him that I will be joining grandpa for a while. "Thanks grandpa I would love that we haven't chatted alone in a while," I say as I get into the car. On our way to the shop, we just talked about everyday things and how I've been coping with what I am and all the changes I've been going through. For the first hour, the shop was busy with people of all ages getting their favorite ice cream before they go to the beach. I wait for the last customer to leave before I take my chance. "Grandpa, can I talk to you about something?" I ask while I dig away in a vanilla ice cream. "Sure anything," he says while he takes his seat behind the counter. I'm quiet for a while thinking of how I should tell him. "Grandpa that scroll the one that only I can see the text, it sent me a message. A message about evil in our midst and how we are in danger." He is silent and I decide to just come out with it. "Drake is evil grandpa, the scroll didn't give me much to go on it just said that Drake is an evil imposter and that he should be stopped." I'm surprised to see grandpa smile. "Why are you smiling grandpa? I asked confused. " I knew from day one that, that was not my father. But I had to stay quiet to gather more evidence but you just gave me enough." I was completely shocked at his response. "But how did you know grandpa?" he tapped his nose while smiling at me. "Dragons have a good sense of smell and they can smell their own every dragon's smell is unique and I know how my father smells. That guy is not Drake he is a shapeshifter. I don't know what he wants but we will find out for sure. Who else knows" he asks me and I tell him that it is just me and Jeandre. Grandpa thinks that we should still keep it a secret until we can figure out how to catch him. We make some more plans and grandpa is planning on leaving to go look for his father I insisted to go with him. He was against it at first but then he thought of a new plan that will work better while this fake Drake is still around. I stay a little while longer to help grandpa with another string of customers and then mind link Jeandre to come pick me up. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach relaxing. "Hey, how would you feel about a road trip just the two of us," I ask as we watch the sun go down. He looks at me surprised with a huge smile. "Just say when and we can go. With everything that's been going on and the way you found out about everything, it will be good for you to take a break. Seeing that a war is on its way, I think it's what you need." I giggle as I lean my head against his shoulder. "Well I hate to break it to you love, but it won't be a vacation. Grandpa would have gone but with fake Drake, it will be too difficult so grandpa thought it would be best if you and I go look for the real Drake while he works on a plan to catch the shapeshifter." He kisses me on my forehead and stands up pulling me up with him. "I think it's a great plan and we can still make the trip fun you know. I always have fun with you especially in bed" he says with devilish eyes while pinching my ass. I feel the blush creep up my neck as I see a couple walking by looking at us amused. They must have heard what he said. He laughs while he takes my hand and we leave the beach. At home, we start to pack even though we are only leaving the next night. We told my parents that we just want to take a little break to clear our heads and they agreed. It doesn't feel good to lie to them but it's for their safety. Mom immediately phones the kitchen to make some food and drinks for the road. Dad insisted on giving me money so I had no choice but to take it even though I have plenty of money of my own but thinking about it, it could help a lot because we don't know how long we could be away it could be months. That night Jeandre couldn't keep his hands to himself again which lead to many rounds of s*x all through the apartment. I love him, I truly love him. I never thought I would feel this way about someone especially not someone I've only known for a short while. He makes me happy and Ace makes Stormy happy I couldn't ask for anything better. I fell asleep in his arms knowing I'm where I belong.
