Dragon king's Angel

Chapter 13

Ase

William and Ashley really were quiet, and I wonder if they learned when you go to another pack you are not at home where you are able to act how you want. Ashley learned on the first day that she would not get her way. The blending into the wallpaper they were trying to do was obvious as she seemed to be standing glaring and pouting. I wonder if they have had another argument.

The arguments between the two have become legendary. It didn't matter where they were, Ashley would open her mouth. William had to put her in her place, and she got upset because he needed to do damage control. Not having their dad's here to back them made it hard on them.

Most of the packs really didn't like Ashley and were not sure how to deal with William. He used his charm on the Alphas and Lunas, not sure what else he told them, but they seemed to accept it. The pity was in their eyes when he told them Ashley was his mate was funny as they really wanted to say something but they kept quiet, Ashley was looked at with disgust she really didn’t make a good impression on them, opening her mouth and not thinking about what she is saying, a lot of them had also seen her sneak of with other people, William he was more discreet, if you knew what to look for then you would notice.

William had somehow got some treaties with a few small packs. To help with outsider problems. As I say he used his charm to win them over and seemed he done it when Ashley was off somewhere else, not digging her nails into his arm so no one could touch him. In a way I felt sorry for both, I heard they had rejected their mates and were waiting for their second chances and were using each other for the time being. Their warriors didn’t hold back on information. On the other hand, karma is a b***h and are the most horrible people so they sow what they reap.

Father asked them if they were ok as their car had not turned up to take them home, did they need a lift, they said they were waiting for their driver. He had a flat tire and is fixing it.

I didn't trust them. Everything told me something was going on. I promised I would never do this, but I dipped into their minds to see what was going on. I wish I never. I felt sick, my legs trembled.

Ashley has the usual thoughts about being Luna, how she will rule the pack, and can't wait to get home as daddy will help her. No one should be looking at William, but staring at all the men she could lusting after them, etc.

William was a different story. I knew he was awful, but I never knew just how evil he was. Just reading the surface of his inner thoughts was enough, a shark swimming through his mind, keeping the deeper, more evil below the surface.

I could feel my face lose all the blood, my breathing became shaky, I felt dizzy, the world spinning. Before I could fall, Dimitri picked me up and carried me back to my room. He sat on the bed with me in his lap, stroking my back slowly.

''Little one, please talk to me, tell me what happened?'' Dimitri, a soothing voice, it managed to get through the fog in my brain. I looked at him, not sure where I would start.

My family came through the door with Damion. They kept quiet and sat down on the bed or the sofa I had in the room.

''I don't know where to start, really.' My voice was just a whisper. Thank Goddess for good hearing.

''Start where you need little one, try and start from the beginning on what scared you so much.' Dimitri, still with a soothing soft voice. I don't know why, but it made me want to laugh. This huge man, with a gruff voice, could be so gentle. One look at him, and you wouldn't be surprised if he ripped you in two. He looked scary to everyone, but to me, he was a cuddly bear. It gave me strength to speak up.

''I know I shouldn't have, but I have been on edge all day. Something with William has not sat right with me. I decided to investigate their minds.'' I heard my mother gasp, but I quickly carried on. Mother wasn't against me doing it, but she knew it was serious if I had done it.

''Ashley had the usual thoughts that she would say out loud. But William, I only skimmed the surface. I never knew just how evil he really was.' taking a deep breath I carried on.

‘The thoughts that plagued his mind are terrifying. He has not given up looking for me. He doesn't recognize me, but he is very intrigued by me and Katy as she has been close to Conner. His thoughts were about torturing us to submit to him, he is looking for a strong mate wanting an Alpha's daughter, but then he remembered why he was here, how he would love to get his hands on me, to be able to leave scars this time, how he would beat me, what weapons would be used, how to get Dimitri out of the picture to get to me, he is wondering if you are my mate. Katy would be easier as Conner likes her and must be f*****g her for this trip.'' Looking at each person as I explained what he thought of them, looking at my parents,

''Mum, dad, you both need to be careful. He is angry and bitter that the pack is better than his. He wants to kill both of you and this pack, only keep the strongest ones he has been snooping around the packhouse and planning how they would be able to sneak in and attack. In his mind he is the same as his dad but more brutal, he wants to be top dog, be the one under the royals, if he could be strong enough, he would try and overthrow them also.''

My heart was beating fast. Seeing the images that went along with his thoughts, it was truly more terrifying than the worst horror film I have ever seen. I felt sick, but I couldn't move, chills going down my spine. The images will haunt me for a while, I hope they don’t add to the nightmares.

Dimitri pulled me closer if that was possible, crushing me onto him. If I could, I would hide inside him. I could feel myself calming down with his smell alone.

The one I missed out on saying, which would probably have been too much, was how William also planned the r****g. Even if I was his so-called cousin, we weren’t related in any way, and I could give him strong children. Katy's r**e and torture would be to make me comply, something he really looked forward to, that even his own father didn't know of this plan.

What got me the most were his thoughts on me, something about me having pure angel blood and witchcraft, his thoughts was hazy on this so I couldn't say for sure what he was thinking.

Dimitri stayed with me in my room. I just couldn't go out there and face anyone. I feel so sick to my stomach. The images and plans William had in his mind terrified me, I felt like I did 10 years ago. A scared little girl, not knowing what was next or if I would see a future.

Dimitri was so good to me, cuddling me, stroking my back, small little kisses on my cheeks, forehead, and nose, reassuring me everything would be fine. I felt safe in his arms. I managed to fall asleep for a while. The adrenaline leaving my body exhausted me.

Mother and father went back out after they calmed down, with everyone else in the room, Damion went with them in case they needed back up you never know what William would do as everyone had left for their packs.

Conner had the biggest look of horror on his face. He couldn't stop apologising to me, telling me he didn't know. He and Katy were the last ones out of the room. Everyone kept an extra close eye on William until their driver arrived a few hours later. I was told they still seemed reluctant to leave but did in the end.

When William was leaving, he looked at Conner and a big grin went over his face. Conner, of course, stayed behind to be with Katy and plan their future on what they needed to do in the next steps, William thought he was staying for this lead he made up. I found all this out later over dinner. My food tasted very bland that night as my appetite had left me, sleep was another thing that was hard to come by, Dimitri bless him stayed up with me and comforted me. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have him. I did not want to even think about it, I'm sure I would have given myself away and the nightmares would have been horrific.

I hated having the mind reading abilities, people always say they would love to have it as they would know what others are thinking, but in reality if you do not know how to control it, it can be a curse. Like with William knowing just the surface thoughts was bad enough, or believing someone is your friend as they smile at you, but inside their mind they hate you and can say such nasty things, it is heartbreaking and can really recluse you.

It takes away trust and can become a crutch as the trust you naturally have is gone. Always be careful for what you wish for.
