Dragon king's Angel

Chapter 12

Ase

The week seemed to have dragged on, but finally, it was the last day! I had enjoyed Raven, her mate and her pack, they are good people and enjoyed spending some time with them. The celebrations of the evening were fantastic. Dimitri also seemed to be relaxed with them and Gunner even joined us, he knew them well.

One thing that hadn’t left me all week was when Conner said the name Charlotte, the fake name my mum gave me, I never knew why she told my old pack that was my name, but I am glad she did as I would have been found a long time ago.

Dimitri must have seen me lost in thought as I felt him stroke my cheek, searching my eyes.

‘’Sorry I got lost there.’ I smiled to brush off the thoughts, but Dimitri didn’t let it go, he picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the room to a quiet area, he sat on a chair with me on his lap.

‘’What is on your mind little one you look troubled, and I can’t help you if I do not know what it is.’

Sighing as I knew he was right and deserved to know, ’It’s just what Conner said to us, when he said the name Charlotte, it has niggling at the back of my head.’

‘’Yes, why did he call you that? It has confused me.’

‘’My mum she told my old pack that was my name, she even made a fake birth certificate with that name on, I do not know why she did, but I am grateful as I would have been found a long time ago, she always taught me my name Ase, but if I ever met anyone in the pack or stepped outside I was Charlotte, to keep me safe I had to go by that name.’’

‘’Would you tell me about her, what you do remember?’ A smile broke across my face when Dimitri asked me about my mum, I told him about what I could remember as I only had her 5 years. I have flashes of memories and cling on to them to never forget them.

I felt better being in Dimitri’s arms as if the world couldn’t touch me, I felt so safe and protected, talking about my mum made me feel good and I refused to let the bad memories surface, I would not let the Pinewood pack destroy my mum’s memories.

After a little while we went back to the celebration again, feeling lighter I enjoyed myself.

Ashley and William were in a corner watching the party in full swing, looking as if they were up to no good. I made sure to keep an eye on them from the side of my eye to not show I was watching them.

The people at the party seemed to be avoiding them also, no one went over to them to talk, but their warriors seemed to be having a blast, seeming not to have a care in the world.

It was hard to watch them at first this week as the warriors at Pinewoods never interacted with me unless I was being beaten or ashamed in front of the pack. It took me a long time to get over no one helping me when I was young, it confused me watching them stick up for each other and their own children or friend’s children, but when it came to me, they just stood by with pity in their eyes. As I got older, I understood why they never stepped in as my uncle threatened them with their families, how he would kill them slowly in front of the warrior, after that day hearing my uncle threaten them with their kids, I forgave them. Them being here and not knowing who I was, was a shocker, I guess not having bruises gave me good cover on not being reckonised.

Soon, I will be going back to the tribe with Dimitri. I can't wait to meet his tribe and family, but also, I'm going to miss my pack and family. I'm going to miss Katy so much. She has been the best friend ever and always my rock.

Katy and Conner have been trying to spend as much time together as possible, even in the open, Conner said he must mingle to make it look good to William like he is snooping, he did join us a lot and when he did join us William seemed to perk up with glee. I'm sure it has been hard for them to not act as mates and to keep their hands off each other, not to mark each other, as with wolves they always mate and mark on the first day, they need an award for being great at acting as acquaintances.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying the evening, as tomorrow they will be leaving and going back to their homes. Conner has planned an excuse to stay with us, telling William that he is on to a lead. William bought it and has gave him all the time he needs to stay with us. One thing William doesn’t know was Conner had packed all his stuff he needs all his clothes and important documents and stuff, he had a feeling to pack it all incase he met his mate.

Dimitri has been with me the whole time, keeping quiet and watching everyone. What we had spoken about earlier had him and his dragon on edge. I really can't wait to meet his dragon. Dimitri said his dragon couldn't wait either, he was driving him mad with it.

He calls Dimitri every name under the sun when he gets a chance not being able to get out to meet his mate, unfortunately being here he can’t let his dragon out as no one knows who he is and that he is a dragon. With the dragons they do not interact with wolf packs. The pack either want them for power or to use them for fighting, make their packs stronger, one time a long time ago a pack pretended to be in distress and had become friends with a dragon tribe, they told the tribe they were under attack and the dragons stepped in to help.

A young girl was found on the edge of the battlefield holding a women crying trying to wake her up. One of the dragons found her, and that is when they found out they helped the wrong side, the lady in the little girls arms was her mother who was naked, the dragon thought from shifting, but turned out to be even darker, a few men had taken turns with her, she was newly pregnant and couldn’t shift as she would lose the baby, her mate was coming to her rescue when he got jumped from behind and beheaded. The little girl was told to run and hide which she did but could still see and hear everything.

It was then the dragons destroyed the pack they were helping, they helped the other pack to re-build and vowed never again would they help a pack no matter what. I always heard this story growing up and when Dimitri confirmed this to be true it made me sick and understanding why they keep hidden made more sense.

Damion advised me to keep a hold of Dimitri as it was keeping him calm, they explained that when their dragons are on edge, it is better to let them out as the built-up anger can cause a shift and a war. The dragon can snap and not listen to anyone but their mate, if they didn’t have a mate all hell would break loose. The magic that surrounds them can build with anger and can be a dangerous situation. But being here, they cannot let it happen as it would give their identities away. Dimitri, especially as he said, I would soon see why he was different from the other dragons and could be reckonised as a royal.

We enjoyed the party, and Dimitri got me up to dance, to just enjoy our moment together in this pack. He was trying so hard to keep calm and enjoy himself for me and I appreciated it so much. One by one, the packs slowly left, going back to their rooms as they had journeys ahead of them tomorrow morning after breakfast. We made our way to bed after the last guest had left.

The next morning after breakfast, all the packs started to make their way to their cars or the warriors on the buses. Some happy, some a bit upset, they didn't win in the events against others. But overall, it was a relaxed atmosphere.

William and Ashley seem to be lingering behind. Their warriors have been loaded up on their bus and been sent back already, but they seem to be holding back like they are staying here.

They have been watching us very closely, trying to blend in with the wallpaper, trying not to make it obvious they was still here, the only ones left. Everyone seemed to have spotted it also, and they have been keeping a close eye on them.

The chills going down my spine with each stare have made me want to run, hide, and go back to the vulnerable girl I used to be. I wouldn't do it. I am stronger than I was back then. I have family, my mate, friends, and support. I will keep my head held high. I will ignore them unless I need to speak to them. As to them, I am only an Omega, so I do not need to even bother with them. They know Aric is my father, but they do not want to acknowledge this.

Ashley and William suddenly kept quiet these past few days but seemed shifty. They looked very annoyed today as it was the last day. They was up to something I could just tell something was going on, father picked up on this also.

What is in store for us next I wonder.
