Dragon Prince Fairy

Chapter 19

Aurora

Tyr was great to me with us spending the day together. He stopped me from apologising to him, but I still felt bad and couldn’t get over with how close I was to losing him for good. I told him about the king and how he is looking for me, but Tyr just kept saying to not worry about it, he will look after me and me and my sister are safe in the tribe.

All day we laughed, cuddled, and spoke about ourselves. I regret not doing this before, the week we spent together I wouldn’t open up to him and kept my distance. Now I feel I can get close to him, I still feel stupid for believing the history we got taught growing up. I could have spoken with Tyr, asked to speak to other shifters, even his mum and dad.

When I was hidden away, I had to learn, I was never allowed to think for myself no more the king would be doing all the decision making and thinking for me. So, when I do get to think for myself, the past, it still intrudes. It is no excuse for how I acted with Tyr, and I will have to make it up to him for the rest of our lives.

The next day, his twin didn't come home. Tyr was torn with staying with me and going to his twin, I told him to go to her, but he didn't want to leave me. I wouldn't care if he did. It is his sister. I understand. His parents told him to wait as she could be home in the evening, or her and her mate are happy leave them alone. This didn’t help Tyr at all he was getting more worked up. I stopped him from pacing grabbing his arm and suggested an idea. Tyr agreed. That made me feel good. I had a good idea. Growing up my ideas was never good, or my parents would take it and use it later taking the credit.

Biting my lip, I decided to be brave and tell Tyr about what Willow told me. All he needs to do is kiss me. Tyr’s eyes flashed between him and Draco.

"I'm sorry, little fairy, Draco is being a d**k trying to take over. I will not let him out as he would take it too far." Tyr swallowed, closing his eyes gaining control of Draco.

"I will only do when you are ready little fairy." Honestly, I am ready, I've wasted enough time.

"You can kiss me anytime, Tyr and Draco." Looking under my lashes, looking up at Tyr, he froze. Slowly looking to me, searching my face for I don't know what, he released a small growl.

Tyr started to lean in and me leaning to him when his bedroom door burst open and screams of 'Tyr' could be heard. Two bodies jumped on Tyr, sitting on the bed with me. I quickly moved over to get them space when they looked straight to me. it was eerie how they was in sync.

They looked just like Tyr. The boy had dark hair but with more blonde streaks through then Tyr’s. He was a 50/50 in hair colour. The girl again looked like Tyr and his twin Elin, a blend between Ase and Dimitri. She had dark hair with a blonde streak. They had dark blue eyes. Reminded me of the bottom of the ocean.

"What the hell are you both doing here, and how many times have I told you to knock?" Tyr asked the twins sitting on the bed, not taking their eyes off me, answering taking turns.

"Granny brought us back early."

"We couldn't wait to see your mate."

"And Elins mate."

"Yeah, soon it is us."

"Hell no, it will not be you soon. You are both only 13! Stop ageing mum and dad with this, enjoy your lives." Tyr spoke like a true brother telling them off.

"Hi, as my brother is a bonehead, I am Freya, and this is my twin Bjorn. Are you really my brother’s mate?" Freya made me laugh, introducing herself.

"I am, indeed, my name is Aurora."

"So pretty, I love your hair, is it real?" Freya, I take is the one who doesn't hold back.

Letting her know this is my natural hair colour, Freya started to get up to run to her mum to ask to dye her hair when Tyr grabbed her around the waist to stop her.

I quickly added, "Why would you change your hair? All of you have the coolest hair I have ever seen!" Freya and Bjorn looked at me as if I grew an extra head.

They both liked their hair, but being one colour will attract less attention. Laughing, I told them how much attention I got, especially my roots. People have a thing about roots. When I first heard someone say this to me, I panicked, thinking they meant tree roots. It took me a while to learn and understand. I started to be known as the weird one, so I agreed with whatever they said about hairdressers and box dye.

The twins stayed with us for a few hours until Ase called them down. She asked Tyr and me to come down also. Going downstairs to the living room area, Ase and Dimitri were in the room with two other people. They looked like Dimitri.

"Tyr, how are you? I hope the twins didn't interrupt anything?" The new lady said, winking at us. A blush took over my face.

"Nana!" Tyr shouted out. The lady came over laughing and gave Tyr a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Now, out of the way, I need to see the beauty next to you." The lady pushed Tyr out of the way coming to me and grabbed my hands. "Tyr definitely lucked out you are gorgeous, my darling, I hope my grandson has been good to you." Before I could answer, the man spoke up.

"Elodie leave the poor girl alone, hi sweetheart, my name is Acacius, and this is my wife Elodie, we are Dimitris parents and this one's grandparents." The man introduced them both.

Elodie was hilarious. She told all the baby details of Dimitri and Tyr. She was even going to get out the baby pictures. Elodie dragged Ase and me to the kitchen for girl talk. I looked to Tyr for help, but the smug git just stood there, grinning at me.

"Now I want all the details of you and Tyr but first tell me about you." I felt uncomfortable telling his nana about everything, but I guess everyone in the family knows. I told Elodie about myself, and Ase held my hand through it. When it came to me and Tyr, Ase, gave me a nod. I told the story from meeting Tyr up to today. I felt ashamed of the story and felt my self-turn ten shades of red. I felt the tears trying well in my eyes.

Elodie was staring at me. She didn't speak for a while. When suddenly got a big smile on her face. it kind of scared me and the tears sucked up in fright. "You are going to fit in just fine, my dear. Make sure you put him in his place, need any tips, ask me, or Ase."

"I'm sorry, what?" Surely, I heard her wrong.

"Yes, it was a crap start for you both, but my grandson should never have given up. These men sometimes need their heads banged together. He should have explained to you instead of beating his chest. He could have gone slow with you. I swear male dragon’s they have their heads so far up their arses it is ridiculous, they need babysitters that are women to help them to think."

Elodie and Ase started to prepare dinner, I asked if I could help as I have never cooked before. They both had so much patience with me to learn how to cook. The men were kicked out of the kitchen every time they tried to enter. I had a great time learning and bonding with Elodie and Ase. Tyr wasn't kidding about Elodie and Embla being different. Embla was sweet and quiet. Elodie was strong, sweet, and doesn't hold back. I can't wait to meet Ase’s adopted parents. I wonder what they are like.

Gabriel and Embla turned up with their kids, and all the family came, just Elin, Astrid who is Erik’s sister, and Ase’s adopted parents were missing. I got to meet Erik's parents and other siblings.

The evening into the night was what I had always wished for. I looked to Willow and saw she was thinking the same as me. We both always wanted a family and friends like this. Instead, our parents kept us at arm’s length and sold us to the king who was twice our age. All for money and power.

I didn't want the night to end. Having a home cooked meal again was great, 2 years of eating out. Living in a hotel didn't give you a kitchen to cook in.

After we had all finished and ready for bed, I grabbed Willow and took her to the edge of the forest to give our thanks to the forest spirits guiding us. I also looked up to the sky to give thanks to the lady who visited my dream. I couldn't be happier and hoped this would last. Walking back to the house I let out a big yawn, Tyr held my hand and walked us upstairs, I asked if I could stay with him. I got some nightwear and got changed, slipping in to bed. Tyr next to me, holding me, we fell asleep.
