Chapter _17

Aurora's POV ~

After returning to her room.

It feels good having a pack link. That saying you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone is truer than I realized.

I dressed in black dress slacks and a navy blue silk cami with a small floral print. Tossing on a black blazer and heels.. I was out the door for breakfast. I left my hair loose, but pulled the sides away from my face.

I told everyone good morning.. and Albert came over "Ms. Heartsong, council emailed that your motion for continuance has been approved. However, Moon Hollow Pack filed a grievance against us for water rights."

I smiled at him "Thank you, Albert. We will take a look at the paperwork when we get in. Sit down and enjoy your breakfast for now."

I sat and Adrian asked "You always dress to impress for work?"

I nod.. and grin "Are ya impressed?

But, yes, I do. I represent Draconium Pack now.. and in the course of any day, I don't know who I may encounter. No way would I ever not be presentable"

He laughed "Hellz yeah! I'm impressed! You look high class! Like we some important people here!"

Draco chuckled "Stop, Adrian, You do look beautiful, Aurora.. but please, ignore my Beta!"..

I worked the morning away.. filing all the necessary paperwork for the appropriate cases.

Until I came upon a lawsuit filed by us.. against a weyr of dragons, and particularly against the Alpha.. crimes against humanity.

Searching through the file.. there's no more information. Whoever filed it, didn't follow through.

I linked Draco, asking if he was busy. He said in his office and to come see him.

I walked in and he was sitting with Adrian and Culver, doing paperwork.

I smiled "I am sorry to bother you.. I do fear it may happen a few more times, over the coming weeks while I clear my office."

He looked up, grinning "This? You? Not an interruption.. a pleasant reprieve! How can I help?"

I sat and opened a file.. "I need to know why we filed a crimes against humanity on one Alpha Michaelson of the Lightning Weyr."

The room got so still.. so thick with tension, I felt like I was gasping for air.

He sighed "Well, as you know, I am a dragon/wolf hybrid.. and the Dragon King."

I jumped up and loudly said "What? Wait! No, I didn't. I didn't know. Why was that pertinent information not given to me?"

He laughed and said "I'm sorry. I thought that had been covered in your interview?"

Again, I am shaking my head "No interview. I wasn't interviewed by anyone. Your proposition was handed to me, along with twenty two others by the council.. a week before my graduation."

Adrian laughed "Damn, brother! We made the cut out of twenty three! That's cause we're just awesome like that!"

I curled my lip at him "It's because I was told you had close ties to a dragon weyr up here.. and I have always felt most discrimination is targeted toward dragons and I wanted to help! Not because Alpha Draco is King! Shit! Shit Shit Shit!"
