Chapter 70 - Tasting Drakness
Chapter 70
“Bloody bird, she is fine,” I tell him, and he flies over to perch on the bed head. He leans down, looking at her and licking her cheek, caressing it with his beak while Lycus remains frozen, only for Ryze to lick his temple. I snicker when he pales.
“Having a taste test for when he plucks those eyes of yours out,” Tobias chuckles before whistling to Ryze, who flies over but instead of going to Tobias, he perched on the arm of my chair, looking down at my bleeding wound before looking at Aleera and back at me.
“She is fine; you bite me, I will smack your damn ass,” I tell him while he eyes me with his creepy beady eyes. He then took off out the window. And we all relaxed; that was only momentarily when he came back but with the big fucker that we thought would kill Aleera. My fingertips fizzled as it squeezed through the window and everyone froze to see what it would d
It hopped down on the ledge walking across the carpet like an oversized fucking chicken, its long tail still outside the window when it stopped beside me. Its eyes roamed over me, and Ryze cawed at it, nudging the other Phoenix, who tilted its head to the side. Such intelligent birds, but they scared the crap out of me.
Its beak opened, its long tongue slivered out split at the end. Going in two different directions. I leaned back, wondering what it wanted, and my eyes darted to Tobias. When its tongue suddenly zapped my hand, the buzz of its magic shot up my arm, making me jump. When it spoke. “Welcome,” it said, and I gasped before my side heated. The Phoenix then turned and jumped back out the window, and Ryze jumped up to perch on the armchair. Nudging my side with his beak. Looking down, I find my wound closed, and my mouth falls open.
“Lira,” Ryze tried to speak before sneezing, he was still too immature to pronounce words. I knew they could talk but had never actually witnessed one speak. Then again, I tried to avoid the bloody things too.
“That big bastard spoke right, and?” Lycus pointed to Ryze, and I nodded.
“Now we know why we suddenly have an infestation of Phoenix’s they sense White Fae, they sense their own magic,” I tell him, looking at Aleera passed out still.

“You think it was the council that time,” Tobias calls out.
“Who else would it be?” I tell him.
“Her parents,” he says.
“We masked her,” I retorted.
“Yes, until she used Lycus’s magic earlier, it would have been like a beacon for some with those particular gifts,” I think over his words. We had been hunting her parents since they tried to kill her; now we knew why they did. Walking out, I stop at the end of the bed.
“We have an entire army; I won’t let them touch her,” I tell him.
“But if she knows they’re alive, what if she goes looking for them?” Tobias says, brushing his hand down her cheek.
“She won’t. We are her mates,” Kalen whispers.
“But after everything?” Lycus murmurs worriedly. I bite the inside of my lip.
“She wasn’t the only one that lost everything, Lycus,” I told him. Although, I now feel even worse after she saved me. She saved me despite everything I had forced her to endure.
