Mate To The Dragon
Chapter 20: Daerius

I am so confused. I can’t tell if Lyza brought us here knowing that her uncle would imprison us or not. Also, right before she left, I saw a side of her that worried me.

She killed that guard, for simply restraining her, and with a single kick. Her eyes were burning red and her voice was more of a feral growl that made the room shake and my wolf cower at the power she was radiating.

“Your mate is a bitch.” I turn to see Angel glaring at me through the cell bars.

“Do not speak to me,” I mutter with a growl, looking away.

“You know I’m right. She killed that guard without even blinking, and she let her uncle imprison us just for being wolves,” she spits.

“Stop talking Angel,” I growl, growing frustrated with her.

“She didn’t even react when you said she’s your mate! Didn’t show any emotions, didn’t say anything, she didn’t even look at you!”

I glare at her wth glowing golden eyes and feel my Alpha voice come through my words.

“Don’t you think I realized that? Don’t you think I know that my mate practically rejected me? And that my mate led us to the prison in the first place?” I snarl angrily.

Angel cowers against the wall, tucking her knees under her chin, and wrapping her arms around herself. She stares at the ground, her head bowed.

“I’m sorry Daerius, I know this must be difficult for you. I just wish you would have listened to me,” she whispers.

I say nothing. I’m not really sure what to say, or think for that matter. I let my head fall back against the stone wall, a heavy breath escaping my mouth.

“How long have we been in here?” Angel asks.

“I have no idea, but I’m exhausted. I’m going to sleep,” I mutter, moving to lay down on the metal cot. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Resting my head on my arm, I manage to make myself semi-comfortable and pass out as soon as my eyes close.

The fire surrounds me, crawling up my clothes and singing my hair, but it doesn’t hurt. I can see my skin turning black but I can’t feel anything.

I look around and realize I am standing on one of the castle’s balconies. Behind me is a massive window that reflects the volcanoes.

I can see orange and red light dancing across the shining black glass. I stare into the glossy surface, mesmerized by the colors until suddenly the ground starts to shake.

I watch as the balcony cracks and trip, falling onto my knees. I let my wolf take over and the next thing I know I am airborne, leaping off the balcony.

Just as I am about to land, the ground shifts and gives way to an abyss. I just fall, into seemingly endless darkness and watch as the fiery sky above is swallowed up in smoke.

I jerk awake to Angel’s voice combined with banging on the cell bars. I see the guards walking over and leap to my feet.

“What’s going on?” I demand. One chuckles a little, opening my cell and moving to restrain me.

“You’ve been invited to the wedding,” he says and my eyes widen in fear.

“Whose?” I ask. He looks at me, a smirk in his face.

“Your mate’s.” I swear I can’t breathe.

Ever since I was a child I was told that a mate would make me a stronger Alpha and give me children that would become more powerful than me as they grew up.

Yet Lyza only seems to be tearing my life apart. Because of her, I now have no mate, no pack, no home, and no future.
