Chapter 32

MILA

After gaining some composure, Archer was looking at me. He was on the opposite side to me, staring at me. “How can I be alive, how is that even possible” I ask quietly and sounding confused.

Archer eyes were all white again, but came back within seconds. His eyes had tears in them “That evening we lost so much. I had to fight against a dark warlock but when I shifted into Drack, he made the warlock fly away. The black wolf you saw in those dreams you had, his name was Devon. He killed his own father before he slashed your mother’s throat. I couldn’t save her, I swore to protect you.” The tears are now flowing down his face as he continues “I had my back to Devon, he was going to kill me with a sword he had brought with him but you jumped in front of me and he shifted into that demon wolf. You were sliced you through your heart, Drack did what he did to the dark warlock to Devon. I shifted back quickly and carried you over to your mother.”

“This doesn’t explain….” I say but he shakes his head.

“You wolves pray to the Moon Goddess, we were all in moaning when we all felt a sharp cry coming from the most magical being I have ever seen, your Moon Goddess. She was upset that her children were fighting over her creations. She looked at you and told me to shift into Drack, when he shifted, your Moon Goddess told us that we could share our heart with you. We didn’t think anything of it as we swore to be your protector. We did that. I had to go into hibernation as it took a lot out of me but the Moon Goddess told me that I would wake up from my slumber and you would find me” he says. He looks at me with hope in his eyes.

“He speaks the truth Mila” Says Sapphire.

I am stunned “What does that mean for us?” I ask trying to figure out some stuff.

He looks at me “It means we share a heart. Well Drack does. He is very protective of you. He feels all your emotions.”

I don’t know what to think. I have a dragon heart inside me. I have a dragon protector.

“You need to rest my little dove” he says yawning. I can't lie, all of a sudden tiredness sweeps in.

I lie on the ground while the fire is still lit. Archer is looking at me but doesn’t say a word, but I can feel my eyes slowly closing. I fall into a deep sleep.

**********************

ARCHER

Watching my little dove sleep, she looks so peaceful but also fragile.

I can feel all of her pain, her suffering, her confusion, her lose.

All her memories are slowly coming back, she needs to rest.

“Her wolf is pretty” Says Drack “She is asleep too”

“Well running for miles would do that to you” I say with a chuckle.

“She has been in pain due to her mate” Drack says getting angry as he shows me all the memories of him.

The anger building up inside me makes my skin burn. I know Drack wants to come out, even if it means to comfort her. I move around and sit closer to her. I look at the girl that I once played with, trained her the basics of fighting, who wore cute little dresses to her made up tea parties, who made me sing to her when she couldn’t sleep. She reminds me so much of Faith, she could be her twin.

I can sense another memory coming through and she whimpers in her sleep. I move closer to her and place her head on my lap. I wish I could stop all the nightmares that she has had. I know Faith and Richard had to fight many rogues when she was born so they are all going to flood back into her life, but once Devon knows that she is still alive, I just hope he doesn't.

I start to hum along to a song that I used to sing to her, it was a song my own sister sang to me when I was younger. That was many years ago.

“Should we tell her what we found out” says Drack “she will need to know more.”

“We will tell her about the upcoming war that Yariel and Devon are preparing but the other thing I think we will wait till we get to the pack” I say knowing that that information is going to be shocking for her.

“Do you think they will ask other pack members?” He asks “I think Anna and Libelle should know, well everything that is going on especially since she is slowly getting her memories back.”

I sigh, I know my sister and her dragon need to know as they are protecting someone special too. We might end up being back together as a family. I wish I knew the answer.

“Anna and Libelle need to know” he says.

I close my eyes knowing the only place I will find her, in our connection in a memory that she created. I arrive at the garden scenery this time, she is sat on a bench looking at all the wild flowers, and my sister is one beauty. She reminds me so much of our mother. I smile remembering all the times we would play and run around in a field like this. “You know we don’t have long, you wanted to see me brother” she says. She looks up at me with her blue eyes while her curly blonde hair flows onto her shoulder.

“I was remembering the good old days” I said. But I sigh

“Well you look good, your hibernation went well brother, and you seem full. Has your human found out what is coming?” She asks.

I look down at her and sigh “It seems George couldn’t give her whole memories back, I sent the aura off too soon to get them to me. Her memories are coming back slowly. I have to tell her about the war but what about the other thing?”

She looks at me “I can’t keep you long brother as you need to make sure she is safe, but the other thing will happen soon. They will meet and we can be together. Have you heard from Lucas and his dragon? I haven’t heard from in years.” She says, looking sad.

I shake my head “Nope, I think he might be in hypernation. How is the other one doing anyway? Still causing problems.”

I know she is protecting someone special like Mila but she loves him like I love my little dove, “He is doing great and he has found his mate. Oh brother and so have I.”

I just looked at her neck to see her mark of her mate. I am so happy for them both but I feel sadness and some jealously. I wish I could find my mate.

“That’s great news Anna, I am so happy for you” I say with a hint of sadness.

She looks at me “Archer, your mate is out there. Once this war is over, you will find her” she says giving me a side hug. “We need to go, we can’t stay to long. Oh Libelle says hello to Drack” and gets up of the bench.

After a few seconds, I open my eyes to my surroundings. I am back sitting on the ground with Mila’s head still in my lap, using Drack’s long sight, there is no one around.

I sigh.

“Anna looked good” says Drack.

“Drack when do you think we will meet our mate” I ask suddenly “It’s been years and we have been on our own.”

Drack is quiet, I can sense the same feelings from him “She is out there I know it” he said trying to be hopefully.

I need to be hopefully.

But at the moment I need to keep Mila safe too.
