Chapter 17: Scalding

Dirk:

“Onyx is my Dragon. Your mate, and…” I grabbed her shoulder, trying to keep her from provoking three emotionally agitated dragons.

“Don’t touch me.” She seethed darkly as her eyes looked at my hand then back to the trio, feeling hurt and anger swirling darkly in my chest.

“Oh, she’s brave. Let’s hear it then.” Davyn scoffed mockingly as he crossed his arms over his heaving chest.

Everyone stood stunned at the situation occurring in the middle of the living room.

“Fine. While you three slept soundly from “Getting your world’s rocked” the morning after, Onyx was being tormented in her dreams by none other than Kano and Zek.” She threw her hand up to silence any rebuttal before she was finished.

Low growls and smoke filled the room with a haunting aura.

“In fear of their threat, she left to protect you but doesn’t know about the “babies”.” Jun stood firmly as their eyes snapped open in shock.

Who’s smirking now!

“She took their threat as you “three idiots” being in danger, but in reality, it’s the three innocent lives growing currently in her womb. Any questions Assholes?” Jun turned on her heel, slapping me firmly across the face with a deep exhale of rage as the heat tingled along my cheek.

Whimper…

“That’s for lying to me.” She stormed off as my eyes snapped back to the living room, full of shocked and pissed Dragons, huffing every kind of smoke and flames.

“Drogo!” Lena exhaled panicked as he clutched her tightly to his chest with glassy eyes.

“It’s impossible!” The trio exhaled coldly as their eyes betrayed their cold expressions.

“Jun is connected to Onyx, and she saw them tormenting and mocking her, while she slept.” I exhaled deeply as my legs became weak under the pressure of three very dominant Dragons.

“JUN!” Mikkel shouted as his feet carried him swiftly down the hall towards our room.

Birgir and Davyn quickly approaching him as he knocked on the door with a restraint in kicking the door in.

“NO!” Jun shouted from the other side, sounding shaky in her tone.

“Jun. Please forgive us.” Davyn spoke calmy as his hands clenched tightly in anger.

“Oh, now the “BADASS Dragons” want forgiveness. Piss off!” Her voice became firmer as they looked between themselves.

Good girl Jun, stand your ground.

“You boys have done enough. Go with your father. NOW!” Lena pushed past the trio with a stern, pissed look as she knocked gently on the door.

“Jun, sweetheart. Let me in.” Lena spoke softly as she looked over her shoulder with a pointed expression.

“I said “GO”.” She pointed firmly as we backed off slowly, hearing the door click open and close even faster.

Rejected again!

Grumbling darkly as Drogo stood firmly at the end of the hallway with his arms crossed angrily over his broad chest.

“Study.” He nodded with his head as we stepped in like it was the Principles office and we had been caught fighting.

Drogo closed the door firmly, followed swiftly with a solid palm across our heads in protest as his eyes told us “not to speak”.

“I’m extremely disappointed in you three. Dirk and Jun’s relationship has no importance to you at the moment, but Jun was right about telling her a long time ago.” Drogo scalded us coldly as we sunk into the leather sofas in defeat.

“Do you know why a Fox is important to a Dragon?” Drogo asked firmly as he poured himself a hefty glass of whiskey.

We sat in silence.

“Anyone?” Drogo gulped his whiskey briskly as he poured another glass with a firm glare at us.

“Okay, ask yourself this “Why are dragon mates the same age?” Drogo perked his brow as the trio lowered their gazes to the floor ashamed.

“Because we mate only once in our life.” Davyn spoke with a weird tone.

“Yes, but “one” heart. If a mate dies, then the other mate passes within hours.” Drogo spoke with a sadness.

“Now, why are Dragons paired with Foxes?” Drogo looked up from his glass with a perked brow.

“Foxes are special because we are spirit animals and Dragons are the oldest living supernatural creatures. We act as their eyes and ears, alerting them to dangers and blessings.” I spoke with a calm tone as Drogo nodded his head in agreement.

“Is this why Jun knows about Onyx?” Birgir looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, not to piss on anyone’s legs here, but Dragons are stubborn creatures and fail to notice the smallest changes in their creature side. A Fox is the connection to the over-looked qualities of a Dragon.” I laughed lightly as they looked at me with perked brows.

“Pregnancy is one of those. That is why we nest for a certain period of time, because we no longer have our Foxes to alert us.” Drogo exhaled deeply as he leaned back in his chair, relaxing a little as the trio began to piece everything together.

“Dragons can reproduce up until death. There is no age limit, because of the fact we are the oldest supernatural creatures.” Drogo held the trios gaze with a soft expression as they all began to relax enough to not “murder” the messenger.

“Does that mean, since Jun is connected to Onyx…” Mikkel trailed off as Davyn and Birgir silently nodded with Mikkel.

“Yes. I’m your “Fox” and you “Assholes” just hurt my mate. Without her connection, I can’t complete our bond to fully connect with my “Dragons”.” I growled lowly, rolling my eyes at their smug smirks.

“So, in other words, you three “Cockblockers” just fucked up your connection to your Fox guide, and possibly lost your only link to Onyx.” Drogo stood firmly as he paced slowly along the wall, trailing his eyes over the family photos displayed.

“Can we ask Mei and Lexi to help locate her?” Mikkel leaned forward with a hopeful expression as Drogo shook his head “no”.

“Even though they possess the Spirit Wolf, and powerful in that regards, Dragons are stronger and have natural protection abilities that block attempts like that.” Drogo held his arms behind him as he looked over his shoulder with a soft look in his eye.

“Dragons are “Gods” in regard to their abilities.” I exhaled darkly, rubbing my hands over my face in exhaustion.

“Another reason for the Dragon mate to be Dragon. Dragons can’t mate with any other species because of this fact.” Birgir stood slowly as he thought silently in his pacing.

“Well at least you listened to us, every once in a while.” Drogo laughed lightly as the trio gave him a tilted expression.

“So how do we find Onyx?” Davyn exhaled a shaky breath as tears slowly creeped from his eyes as he rubbed his hands through his messy hair.

“You said it felt like your bond “broke”, but most likely she traveled far enough to distance her bond from you to be found.” I stood on shaky legs as the trio narrowed their eyes at my comment.

“If she’s pregnant, then she’s needs a safe place to nest and not be noticed by “Normal” people.” Mikkel exhaled deeply as he laid his head back, closing his eyes to focus.

“Dragon pregnancy is about twelve months, but we don’t give live birth like others.” Davyn jumped up in shock as he realized the words he was speaking.

“Let’s hope she is somewhere safe, and far enough so those “Fuckers” can’t torment her in her dreams.” I spoke darkly as the trio growled lowly at my statement.
