Episode 8

The woman who had appeared in the room was staring at my sister as if she wanted to kill her, but I wouldn't stand for it. I spoke, looking at her with a murderous warlike expression:

Amara- If anyone here dares to hurt my sister, I will BURN THEM ALIVE!

Everyone looked at me in shock, especially the annoying woman who was seething with anger. She simply spoke as she left with her tail between her legs:

"Just what I needed, two wild beasts in the room..."

The Alpha looked at her with a dark expression and then tried to approach my sister, but I stepped back with her and said:

Amara- I suggest you don't touch her, wolf, or I'll rip your head off!

My eyes turned red instantly and he just held his gaze on my sister.

Kaleu- I won't hurt her, are you hungry or thirsty?

Amara- No one will touch her!

He sighed tiredly and said to Alec:

Kaleu- What female did you bring in?

Alec just looked at me with admiration and damn desire. I can read the emotions of creatures, in fact, every dragon has that power. We read emotions through the eyes!

Anastasia- Stop it, sis! You're doing it again.

Amara- I'm just defending you...

Anastasia- You're being overly protective as always...

I looked at her irritably but let go of her reluctant hand. Soon after, my stomach growled; of course it would growl since I hadn't eaten properly in two days, but I still felt embarrassed, especially with that sly smile on Alec's face.

Alec- No need to be afraid, mate... Let's eat something and resolve our misunderstanding.

Amara- I'm not your mate. But I'll eat...

He smiled slyly, but I just ignored him and looked at my sister. She stared at me as if she knew what was going on inside me, and then gave a silly girlish smile. I looked at her irritated, but didn't stay that way for long since she quickly softened me with her innocent face. It's impossible to stay angry with her, the girl is simply my weakness! We have an inexplicable connection since we were little, as if our souls had already met a long time ago, and that's why I was so protective of her.

After a long and unpleasant meal, as that wolf Alec couldn't take his eyes off me, we finally discussed all this.

We remained at the dining table when the Alpha cleared his throat to speak...

Kaleu- So... About mate bond, it's basically souls destined to be together. It's an unbreakable bond from the Goddess of the moon Selene, this bond cannot be undone even with a possible rejection from one side. Your heart, body, and soul are all dedicated to your mate, and if there's a rejection from one side, both will suffer eternally until they die from sadness.

I was paralyzed, not believing any of it, since I've always been skeptical of anything related to the Gods. But it was undeniable what I was feeling; my heart raced every time our eyes met, and he seemed to notice, always giving me that sly smile while looking at my chest. He knew what I was feeling, and it wouldn't be long before I succumbed to his canine charms, but I'm a dragon princess, I won't let that dominate me!

Alec- I know exactly what you're thinking, mate... Fighting against the obvious won't help, I know you feel the same for me. Our hearts are now intertwined! It's impossible for you to escape me...

Amara- I don't believe in Gods or soul bonds.

They looked at me as if I had committed a blasphemy, but I didn't care and simply said:

Amara- Let's stay for a while, if you allow it, and I will prove to you that these are just baseless beliefs!

Alec looked at me as if challenging me to prove him wrong, fueling my desire even more to rub his face in the ground. To top it off, he gave me one of his sly smiles again...

"I will wipe that smirk off your face wolf"

Alec- If you kiss me, I'll stop smiling.

"How is that possible? Did he hear my thoughts?"

I gave him an angry look, but he just smiled!

Alec- Wait until it's time to make our mark, beautiful. When that day comes, I will dominate your thoughts, my female!

He smoothed back a lock of my fringe and then walked away with that damn little smile.

"This can only be a coincidence, it's not possible that he read my thoughts..."

I looked at Anastasia and was incredulous when I realized that she was staring at Alfa with an apologetic look on her face; he was staring at her as if she were the center of his universe.

Amara- Can you stop acting like this?

She looked at me completely flushed and disconcerted, and he just smiled, looking at her mesmerized.

Without taking his eyes off her, he said:

Kaleu- Anastasia is more intelligent than you Aurora. She won't run away from her feelings like a certain dragon...

Amara- My sister doesn't like you, wolf! Stop hypnotizing her with your cheap tricks.

Kaleu- What an insufferable sister-in-law...

Amara- You petulant!

Anastasia - Can you stop acting like I'm not here? Sister, I know you want to protect me, but can we give all this a chance? You know I'm tired of it all.

Her eyes are watery and only now have I realized how much my little sister was suffering from our endless travels. She deserves to be happy, but not with a wolf! That's unacceptable.

Amara- No and no!

Anastasia- Please...

She throws me one of her incredibly cute little glowing eyes that just missed blinding me and I give in like every other time. In fact, Anastasia is the most powerful weapon against me, which is why I protect her from everyone and everything.

Amara- All right... But if he dares to disrespect you, I'll castrate him.

He gave me a horrified look and said:

Kaleu- I pity your enemies, dragon princess.

Amara- Where are we staying?

I said, changing the subject.

Kaleu- Alec will show you...

As soon as Alfa mentioned him, he appeared behind me, scaring me.

Alec- Shall we go?

I looked at him and he just gave me a gallant wink.

* How unbearable! *

We followed him to a wooden hut a little way from the cave, where there were beds and various things to make you feel comfortable.

I was very surprised, not least because they're wolves. Even less favored species can have intelligence, after all...

Alec- there's a stream near the mountains for the women to bathe in, then I'll show you.

Anastasia - All right, thanks Alec!

Alec- Future Luna at your disposal.

He gave her a nod and looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but I just turned my face away. My whole body shuddered at his gaze, but I didn't know if it was embarrassment or anger, but I definitely didn't like this wolf one bit. That's impossible...

He just walked away looking upset, Anastasia looked at me angrily and said:

Anastasia- Would it have cost you to say goodbye to the poor guy?

Amara- We don't have that kind of intimacy!

Anastasia - You really don't change. I know what's going on there...

She said, pointing to my chest.

Amara- Tacinha isn't coming...

Anastasia - I'm serious, sister! I know you better than anyone and I know how much something affects you, even if you don't admit it. I feel...

That was my biggest disadvantage at that moment, Anastasia knew exactly what I was feeling, even though I had no idea what it was!

My only escape is to ignore it and pretend that none of it is real.

Amara- You're thinking too much...

She gave me a hard look and went to pack her things so we could go bathing in the stream.

I sighed and went to pack my things. We hadn't brought much because you can't travel around with a huge suitcase on your back, but we had some necessary items in our cloth bags.

Anastasia - Are you finished?

I nodded and we left the shack facing Alec. My heart fluttered instantly, but I forced myself to ignore it by looking at some flowers nearby.

Alec- Ready?

Anastasia- Yes.

He looked briefly at me and then led us to the stream, unlike what I expected, the stream was near an inactive volcano. We climbed a hill and finally arrived at the location...

It was truly a perfection, I was amazed by the place...

Alec - You can bathe at any time you want and there's a cave nearby where you can put your things.

Anastasia - Thank you!

He just nodded and finally left us alone. I don't know what was happening, but this unsettling feeling that this wolf causes me can only mean trouble and I will be more than happy to stay away from it!

Anastasia picked up our things and put them in the cave, then we undressed and entered the water. The temperature was out of this world, it was warm and pleasant. It must be because of the volcano...

Anastasia dived and then came to me.

Anastasia - Let's stay here just a little longer, sis... Please!

Amara - The deadline is until you accept that soul ties don't exist.

She gave me a smug smile and dived again.

Suddenly the same she-wolf that confronted us in the cave appeared in front of us, she looked at us with disdain and then undressed. She was tall with blonde hair and a deceitful look...

"Look who I found contaminating our waters."

Anastasia came out of the water and was shocked by the figure in front of us. I just rolled my eyes and said:

Amara - You?

"Listen here, little dragon, they're mine, got it? Especially the Alpha! We've known each other since we were kids, you've just arrived here and already think they'll stay with you... Hahaha no way. They love me!"

Amara - You're really predictable. A stinky she-wolf who thinks she's in charge...

"You wench! I'll take great pleasure in tearing out that sharp tongue of yours when I kill you."

Amara - Bring it on, you ridiculous creature!

"Damn you! I'll end you."

She left fuming and with her clothes in hand, I just let out a wicked laugh and looked at my sister who had an expression of "You have no sense."

I gave my best look of innocence and said:

Amara - What? I just said what was necessary.

Anastasia - What if she does something to us?

Amara - Anastasia, I've faced huge armies of Elves and wolves, it won't be a stinky she-wolf that will face us.

Anastasia - You never change.

After bathing and changing, we went down the hill and went to the hut to rest. It was already night and I couldn't close my eyes, every moment that wolf came to my mind. So I got out of bed, put a cloth over my shoulder because of the cold. I left the hut and walked along a narrow road, the moon was full and the sounds of insects increased the calmness of the place...

This peace is new to me, every day I have to be fighting against everyone to protect my sister from possible dangers. This happened because our "father" made a warning on earth that we were exiled, and in all lands I have made numerous enemies. I went to the kingdom of the elves and they tried to kill us, I went to the kingdom of the dwarves and they tried to kill us, I went to the kingdom of the giants and guess what? They tried to kill us. We were not safe anywhere and our only alternative was to fly over the sea in search of some uninhabited island, ironically it was the wolves that took us in, soon them whom I always judged to envy us.

I walked until I reached what seemed to be a lake, the moon illuminated the trees around and the fireflies flew towards the forest, strolling by the lake... I sighed and stretched my arms, suddenly something unsettling started to make my heart race.

Alec - Look who I found here...
