Surviving Against the Odds

"No, no it is not and Ill be back in a few minutes, I need to talk to my Queen." I say as I am already walking away. Kells stay infront of that door, do not let them in, I say to him as I'm already at the end of the hall.

Thrains don't have fangs, from all historical accounts the Original line didn't either, is it a human/Thrain trait I wonder. As soon as I walk onto the transport I hear the coms pinging, My mother appears as looking more freaked out then I have ever seen her and that is saying something given the last few hours alone.

"Thane finally, I am sending the fleet to Earth now. She isn't just of the Original line, she is the Fire Draconians only living Royal heir. There was always rumors that the last true Princess was mated to the Fire Draconians King. The King died ending the Dark Draconians about 50,000 years ago and leaving his juvenile son to take the crown" my mother rushes out.

I stop breathing, 50,000 years ago, the cave, the body found 5,000 years between, no Thrain lives that long but Draconians live much MUCH longer lives.

"Mother what are you saying, how did you find this out?" I ask in a rush

"We mapped her genetic makeup from her blood. We tested the blood from the planet and from the medical bay. She was mostly human when she was injured on during the hunt, in the med bay after Kitty fully bonded to her it changed. She is a true Tri hybrid, she is equally Human, Thrain, and Fire Draconian and will most likely develop or display characteristics of all three species" she says excitedly but with fear tinging her voice. "There has never been a true Tribride in any species... Ever.. It means humans have been the missing genetic puzzle this whole time. It also means they are viable partners to at least two different species. I am sending the fleet to not only protect the heir but also humans. One of the medical officers submitted Holly's genetic report to the council, They have called an emergency session to have humans liable breeding stock and planet wide resource extraction" she says with so much anger in her tone and face.

"Mother the humans are FTL capable, they where getting ready to send a delegation only hours after the detected me. We need them given a seat in the council, they want Holly as their delegation representative, mixed or not she is still a human. She has fangs, and if she is likely to display traits from all three species she is about to become the most dangerous female in all the systems" I can't help but say with immense pride in my voice and I'm sure is reflected on my face.

My mother looks at me hard, "She is your mate isn't she? she asks as a question but with a knowing that is a little unnerving. I don't verbally respond, I give a single sharp nod.

"Are you ready to except what she means for all of us and the role she will play going forward? Will you accept a cub fathered by a male that is not a bonded mate? my mother asks me in a tone that I have only ever heard her use when giving a death sentence. She isn't asking me because she thinks I shouldn't, she is asking incase my death is warranted if I do not accept her and her cub. "The cub is hers and she is mine, the cub is mine" I growl out forcefully.

They are mine and nothing will change that, even if she dosen't accept me I will stand by their side, I think to myself knowing it will be a challenge though she accepted my comfort before going feral.

"Is being a Tribride the reason she went feral severing the bond?" I ask.

"It could be what contributed to it, more of her heritage is awakening and dieing again may have driven the Draconian side of her feral. The Fire Draconians will feel her soon, if they haven't already, I'm sure of it. They will come, their beasts will drive them to her and there is no distancethat they won't feel the pull. There hasn't been a female heir in millennium for the Draconians. Their animal halfs push to protect them relentlessly. The true Princess must have had a male offspring, it is the only thing that explains why they haven't felt the pull before. With breeding with humans it put both Thrain and Draconians genetic makeup into a dormant state.
