Dragon king's Angel

Chapter 16

Ase

Michelle was dressed in a designer dress, her chestnut brown hair was styled to perfection, her makeup made her brown eye pop. I would have been worried about wearing casual clothes if everyone else wasn't here, but they were in casual clothes also.

Everyone looked mad that she had walked in, to the dining room like she owned the house, and she did not even bow to the royals.

''Dimitri, I have finally found you! Daddy and some other council members really would like to speak to you about some important... 'stuff' '' She paused before saying stuff looking right at me, smirking. Dimitri looked as though he was going to lose his temper. Smoke started to come out of his nose.

Michelle must have seen her mistake, her eyes went wide, realization dawning in her eyes, that she had not bowed and spoke out of turn, she never gave a chance for anyone to speak before she spoke. I may be new, but everyone gets taught how to act with royals in case you ever meet them. She quickly bowed her head, but Acacius, was the first to speak. I have never seen someone so angry apart from Dimitri at the pack, but even then he contained himself.

''How dare you walk into this room without being invited, you do not show respect on bowing to the King and his soon to be Queen, then speak like you are equal to him using his name! You shall be punished for this! Get out of here now, tell your 'daddy' and the others they are to wait for when we call them. Don’t you dare come back to this home. GET OUT!' Acacius was also blowing smoke through his nose, shaking with rage, Elodie got up and stood next to him to try and calm him down, holding on to his hand tight.

I must admit I would hate to be in Michelle's shoes right now, Acacius is scary when he is mad.

Acacius apologised to me for what happened. Dimitri pulled me on to his lap to calm himself down. I whispered in his ear telling him it ok, how much I have enjoyed tonight, how well he handled that, how proud of him I was. I had been told at dinner dragons can be very possessive with their mates when there is a threat, being a royal it is ten times worse. A lot of times the dragon would win and challenge the person to the death.

It seemed if a spell had been broken and no one was their jolly self no more. Well, it looks like the meal has been ruined for everyone.

It took a while for everyone to calm down and they kept apologising to me. I told them everything was fine and no need to apologise to me. I really enjoyed dinner and getting to know them well, how wonderful it was to learn how they run their tribe here.

I really enjoyed Dimitri's mum. How much she was like me growing up made me feel more welcome that someone understands what I had gone through.

As dinner had been ruined we all helped to clean up and had an early night, making our way back to our rooms.

Dimitri let me get in the shower first to get ready for bed. I could see the longing on wanting to join me, a smirk came over me and I was tempted to offer him to join me, but I know I am not ready for that step yet, I have never been with anyone and doubt goes through my head, would I know what to do? What if I am rubbish and he doesn't want me? I shake my head clear of those thoughts as I got in the shower.

Dimitri took his turn after me. When he came out, he was wearing just grey joggers, his muscles on full display, and hair still wet. A lone water droplet ran down his body, caressing his tattoos, I had to move my eyes, but it seemed they were glued to him. His laugh pulled me out of the trance, I could feel the blush take over my whole body.

''It's ok, little one. I do not mind you staring. This is all yours.'' Dimitri said with a smirk and husky voice. I had to slap my legs together quick, that voice alone could make you o****m. Well, I guess sleep is going to be out of question tonight!

As Dimitri lifted the quilt to get into bed, I heard him growl, I looked to him and his eyes where even darker than normal, he was dead still, rugged breathing, I looked to him and down to his spot, looked at me, touched my face, did I have something on me I didn’t know about?

He took a deep death in closing his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened them again.

''Sorry, little one, your outfit took me by surprise, you were in bed by the time I came out of the bathroom.'' I had my favorite pjs on, a white vest top and blue shorts with butterflies on. I never thought about them before, but I guess Dimitri likes them. It dawned on me what he was looking at, I had no bra on!

He slipped into bed, cuddling up to me my back to his front. Turning off the lamps next to the bed. His little friend, which isn't so little, was pushed into my arse. He really did like the pjs.

The next day we had a walk around the tribe, Dimitri wanted to check in on everyone to make sure all was well and anything he could do, even though his parents were in charge in his absence he wanted to make sure he still checked on everyone, and a excuse to introduce me to everyone one by one instead of a huge crowd to overwhelm me.

The tribe was so welcoming to me, it was wonderful to learn all their names, which I hope to remember, what profession they do, and the kids was just sweetest, some gave me flowers, some had drawn pictures. I felt my heart swell and eyes well up. At that moment, I didn't care if it was wrong. I gave those kids a hug to thank them for the wonderful gifts.

Everyone just looked at me happy and never said I had done wrong, so I was pleased with that.

We made our way to a lovely little cafe for some lunch. It was so cozy, beautiful teal colored bean bags on one side, the kids and teenagers enjoyed them, teal color booths lined the wall on the other side, white tables in different sizes for how many guests came to eat. The walls were white, and one wall had a teal color. The counter was black and silver. The server I learned was called Morgana. She was only 21 and she worked here part time as she was doing her schooling to become a healer.

She tried to bow to us both, but Dimitri waved her off and told her she did not need to do that, she seated us in a booth out of the way at the back, apparently this was Dimitris favorite spot. It gave a sense of privacy. Looking at the menu, there was too much to choose from, so I asked Dimitri to choose for me. I'm so glad I did as he beamed with pride. Later, he told me it is an honor for a dragon's mate asking for to choose for them. It shows they look after you well.

After lunch, we went to the training grounds, I will be starting there in a weeks’ time as I need to get me adjusted to the tribe and learn my new duties.

The tribe members who were training were fantastic, their movements so fluid, some shifted into their dragon forms, it was amazing to watch, the magic that swirled around them turning into their forms, some red, gold, blue, it was like watching a magic show. How they battled in their dragon forms, blowing fire or ice.

Dimitri checked in with Damion to get updates on the training today. I stayed next to him, carrying on watching the training going on. I itched to be able to train with them, what new moves I could learn, I would love to learn to train with a dragon.

Nothing was to be reported. Everyone still did their training and duties when they were away.

Dimitri took me away, chuckling about the awe I was in watching the training. I loved to train, learning how to fight to protect myself. When I was at Pinewoods pack being defenseless, not being able to save myself, made me love it and feel so strong, not just physically but mentally as well, it gave me purpose to protect those who couldn't. I would never let someone be bullied around me. If I could help with it, I would make sure everyone was safe as much as I could.

It still makes me sick and so mad how people can bully someone who is weaker then them. The mental bullying is the worst one, the tongue can do more damage then a punch, a bruise will heal, but words can stay with you forever, even if you get over it as they say it can creep back in to your mind and cause you doubts.

Pushing this down in my mind, as I am going to enjoy the day with Dimitri and take everything I need in, nothing is going to ruin this day.
