Dragon Prince Fairy

Chapter 15

Tyr

I flew down to my grandparents with my plan in place. Only to be told they don’t have that information. My parents may have it though. This pissed me off, so I changed and went back to the tribe. I went to my window so my parents wouldn’t know my mission. I only told my grandparents about looking into the fairies as my mate was one and wanted to know what happened to them.

I headed downstairs thinking of how to ask my parents, when I smelled my mate. Her scent was strong. Heading towards the kitchen, I heard voices. Walking towards the door, I cracked it open, seeing Aurora sat with her back to me. My dad spotted me there. Nothing gets past him. A slight shake of his head telling me not to go in, I stayed at the door and listened.

When Aurora spoke it nearly floored. I listened to every question she asked and about her home life what she had been taught. Aurora thought I chose her, and she wasn't my true mate. No wonder why she turned away from me, having the curse just pushed her further. Mum and dad spoke with her and told her the truth. I could see she had a lot to think about.

I had Aurora wrong this whole time. I wish she asked me these questions, when mum asked the same thing, Aurora told her she wouldn't have believed me as I was claiming I was her mate. Mum and dad, knowing about the curse, didn't need to ask her what she meant.

When they got up to show her to a room, I closed the door and went into the cupboard under the stairs as it was the closest to not being caught by Aurora. I know she wouldn’t question my scent as it was all over the house.

When I heard their footsteps going up, I went into the kitchen and sat with dad. He put his arm around me and gave a side hug.

"I take you heard all of it." Nodding, yes, dad spoke again. "She will need time son, she has been lied to her whole life, who knows what else she has been lied too about. Please give her a chance and talk to her, me and your mum are here to help with anything." I just nodded again.

I would love for Aurora to be my mate. I would be the luckiest dragon alive. But would Aurora give me a chance? I need to protect my heart. Even if she wants to talk and find out more stuff, I need to be strong and not get my hopes up.

A thought popped in my head, and I hated it. What if Aurora gave me a chance but kept doubting me only for her to leave me? I would never survive the heartbreak.

Mum came back down and told me what room she was in. Hugging me and dishing up a plate for me to eat. I wasn't hungry, but seeing mums pleading eyes, I took a few bites.

I went back to my room, and I left Elins alone. Aurora was across the hall from me. I could walk out my door and to hers. I wanted to sit outside her door and beg for her to let me in, but I kept strong and went into my room. I will keep to my promise to Aurora on leaving her alone. She wanted freedom, even hearing her story I respect her space. I feel something was wrong with this chosen mate business, and her being lied to made it more solid on knowing.

I'm lying on my bed. I just kept thinking. I need to pick a sibling to take over from me. I always said I would only step up to King when I had my mate. That turned out I don't have her. And now this mission I won’t be here to take over.

Draco finally spoke to me again, joining in with the thinking about our next move. He is happy to stay tucked away to lick his wounds and not speak to anyone. I was the lucky one he was speaking to me. This made me snort a laugh.

The bond Draco and I have is strong.

Which surprised me when he said.

"I just wish mate rejected us with words when we met her so we could have moved on. She doesn't want us. Why string us along?" I guess he changed his mind quick.

Talking with Draco we planned to go to the library where we keep a lot of documents. Dad has always been good at writing stuff down, so I’ll have a look there first, that way I don’t have to give away my plan to my parents so quickly. I got up and made my way there, making sure no one see me.

I went straight to the section of history and looked for the fairies. I finally found it, and I was screwed. This is going to take longer than I thought. A whole aisle dedicated to them. Keeping my anger down I started at the beginning. I would do A-Z that way I won’t get confused on what I have looked at and will not lose where I was. Should be simple.

All day I spent in the library and nothing. The anger was building in me. I will keep searching though as I need to find this information and get these questions answered. I will make sure I protect her a different way. I will not drag Aurora into this as she has been through enough with what she told my parents.

I heard noise downstairs, so I made my way halfway down keeping to the shadows. There stood the cloaked figure. She ran into my mate’s arms and called her sister. This stopped me going down further to help. I listened in and heard the sister tell Aurora she was to be married to the king in Aurora’s place, even though he still wanted Aurora.

This took me back to the book I was just reading. Leaving them to it I went back to the book and read, that fairies only had one kingdom. Did they now have more I wonder. I then read that the royal fairies can choose a mate as well as having their fated mate. This was strange as Aurora’s sister said she was also a chosen mate. Aurora had told me she was a chosen mate. Was the king trying to start a harem.

I came across the story dad said about in the kitchen that his parents witnessed. The fairy who was sent back was on the s**t list and no one liked him. He had a following and was a powerful fairy. What my dad left out was he also wanted to do a harem of all different species. That way they would have all mixed breeds. That would be an army of powerful people.

I carried on with this book and then moved on to the next book. Brilliant just the one I had been looking for. I read the fairies used to live in all our forests and then one day they were gone. A portal had been opened at the old pack Pinewood’s. years ago, dad got rid of this pack he destroyed it looking for my mum. The pack was corrupt and dangerous. This is a good lead for me. In the morning, I will go over there and scout the place.

I didn’t know that mum had snuck into the room. She made me jump when asking what I was doing. I couldn’t lie as all the books was scattered everywhere. I told her I was learning more about the fairies so I can understand my mate better, I heard the kitchen conversation.

This made mum relax and she told me how proud of me she was and is rooting for us. She just knows we will be together soon. What she didn’t know was it hurt with what she said, and I will be gone in the morning for a while.

I didn’t want to upset her and just put a smile on my face. standing up I hugged her and told her thank you I hope you are right. She went off to her room to go to bed. I used this time to put the books back and snuck over to my room. I had some plans to sort out.
