Chapter 29

GEORGE

I look back at all the faces in the office, as Emily focuses and settles herself down. She gives me a small smile and takes a seat next to Dane.

I opened my mouth and carried on “One night, three years later, we were all at the cabin having some fun with Faith and Richard when they both could smell some rouges roaming the woods nearby, we hid the girls and Faith while teh rest of us stood guard but we soon realized they were chasing someone, he was badly injured and wounded. Faith could smell blood coming from him. He stumbled into the protection barrier and collapsed in front of Faith who ran out to see who it was when a rogue came out of nowhere. We all had to fight and kill all three of the rogues. When the fighting was all done, we turned around to see Mila kneeling beside the man; she put his head in her lap. Faith went straight to him and helped him. One of her powers was healing others, she healed him the best she could. Richard and I carried him inside and placed him in the spare room. When the man came around, he explained that he was a shifter and the rouges were after him. He didn’t know why they would be. He didn’t tell us what shifter he was; he had no scent on him. He stayed until he felt better but when it came to leave, Mila didn’t want him to leave. They were both drawn to each other.” There was a low growl coming from the young Alpha.

I rolled my eyes, "That’s enough young Alpha, what you did to that child was bad. You are lucky if she accepts you when she comes back, well more like if she does” I say with a demand.

"You can’t tell my son that, he will do anything to get her back” demands Alpha Leon.

I looked at Alpha Leon, I could tell straight away he wanted Mila for her power but he would be sadly mistaken “Huh, funny how power is mentioned and you want her to be part of this pack; you both don’t seem to understand. Mila makes her own decisions not anyone else, if she rejects him then that’s it. No mate bond, nothing. Being the Moon Goddess descendant means she can chose her own path, within reason.” I said looking towards them both. “Both of you need to hear the rest of this” I look back to the rest of the faces in the office, all the faces staring back at me and so I carried on.

"Anyway, Faith agreed that he should stay for the closeness of her daughter’s relationship but she felt drawn to him too, his name was Archer. He didn’t tell us what he was still. We waited till he was ready to show or tell us.” I sigh. "He was an amazing man. He made sure we were all protected. One night, he wanted to show us his true form, we were all in shock to find out that he was a dragon shifter” There are loads of gasps "Dragons have not been around for hundreds and hundreds of years” says Alpha Leon looking stunned.

"I know, Archer told us that he was one of three left but he lost them. He didn’t know if they were alive or dead. He was the most magnificent creature I ever laid my eyes on. His dragon Drack was fierce and nearly tried killing us when we stepped to close but Mila stepped forward, the dragon was taken with her. She just kept moving closer to him, he moved his head down so she could touch him. She knew what to do. When Drack changed back into Archer, Archer was in awe of this little girl as no one could ever tame his beast. He knew she was special. He wanted to be her protector” I said. I look to them all.

"Does anyone hear know what a dragon protector is or does?” I asked, but everyone shakes their head, in awe of hearing the story about him. I am about to tell them when I am cut off.

"A dragon can choose to be a protector if they feel a connection with someone; they could be a shifter or even human. They would be like a guardian to that person. The protector will help them train, fight alongside them and also even die for them.” Says Emily, I smile at her "Archer and Drack made a blood oath to protect Mila that evening.”

I walk over to the window and look out as this next part is going to hurt "A few nights after Archer showed his true form, we didn’t realize someone was watching us not far from the cabin. We didn’t know until one evening when I was back at our house Barry and I were supposed to go up to the carbin but I don’t know how it started but I had a frantic call off Richard telling me to come and bring back up as rouges where surrounding the cabin. There were at least 30 around them. Barry and Margo found out about Faith, Richard and Mila a few years back and they wanted to help them especially after meeting Mila, so all 3 of us jumped in my truck and went to the cabin. The scene that was unfolding before us was hard to watch, we all went to fight the rouges. Mila was hiding under the cabin pouch while Archer was in front protecting her, killing any wolves that came towards them. Richard was in his wolf form and Faith was in her human form. They were killing any rogue that came near them. We helped. I remember fighting two rouges when I felt a power surge coming our way, when I looked I realized who it was but before I could say anything Faith screamed Dallas, he was there with a young man who had a huge scar running all the way down his left side of his face and a warlock who I knew of Yariel.”

"How was a warlock helping Dallas and the rogues?” snarled Alpha Leon, interrupting me.

"Yariel killed all the members of my coven, he relies on rouges to do his bidding. You cannot put him in my category; he killed loads of innocent people.” I snapped. Alpha Leon glares at me but doesn't say anything. I carried on.

"Yariel made us all bend to his whim but as soon as we realized everything Dallas ripped Richards throat out in front of us. The evil smile that he had on his face was disgusting. Dallas grabbed Faith and was dragging her away till the young man noticed Mila under the pouch. He told Dallas, two of them would be perfect. I remember Faith screaming that she was human; she was a lost child trying to make sure they never went near Mila. They both, Dallas and the young man were in a tight argument, but I soon realized Archer was in a power grip with Yariel, he wanted Archer,” I said.

“You see dark warlocks can use other supernatural beings blood to use to make their magic more powerful and it can make them stronger. So you can imagine how powerful dragon blood is. Yariel wanted to take Faith and Archer, kill the rest of us. But the young man had other ideas, more rouges came. Two rouges held Dallas while we learned that the young man turned out to be Dallas’s son Devon. Devon slit Dallas throat saying he will never follow him again. He turned his attention to Faith who was on her knees. Yariel was amazed at Devon; he grabbed Archer but Archer turned into his dragon. Both men were shocked, Faith rushed to Mila only to be stopped by Devon, he ripped her throat out in front of Mila. All I could remember was the screaming coming from Mila. Drack flung Yariel away using his tail which sent him high in the sky towards the west area, when Drack was busy. Devon had a pointed knife which he aimed for Drack, but Mila got in his way. He turned into this hideous wolf, big black wolf with mattered fur but his scar on his face was still there, he had bright yellow eyes. He attacked Mila and she was struck down but seconds later Drack did the same move on Yariel on the wolf.”

I had tears flowing down my cheeks but I knew I had to carry on. I couldn’t look at anyone so my face is to teh window, I can feel Sybil and Emily sob but everyone needed to know this part, they will never believe me that it could happen or that it could even be done.
