Chapter 41: "HOME"
Byron:
Hugging her from behind as we stepped through the portal, landing in the middle of chaos. Lights flickering, weird buzzing noises of appliances, laughing and yelling coming from the nursery. Lea and I looked at one another panicked, dashing down the hallway to find the “trouble three”, and our trio dodging flying toys, and furniture.
“About “Fucking” time.” Akai exhaled as he dodged a flying wooden block.
“What is going on?” Lea exclaimed as she stepped into the nursery, lifting Zara into her arms cooing loudly.
“I told you not to remove that dragon from the crib.” Nikola exhaled darkly as a stuff wolf smacked him in the back of the head.
“Byron, the pups are doing this.” Storm exhaled in disbelief as I stood in shock in the doorway.
“Demi-gods.” I exhaled in amazement.
“Man, but it smells like gingersnaps and buttercream.” Mikkel inhaled darkly against the small purple dragon with Zara’s name sewn into the belly.
Lea looked to me with a smirk as Nikola handed me a cooing Zarek.
“Mikkel, give me the dragon.” Lea laughed as she fanned her fingers out to hold her hand out to him.
“But Lea?” Davyn exhaled deeply as he took another whiff handing it over to Birgir, who tried to turned away with the damn thing.
“NOW!” Lea commanded in a dark husky tone as her eyes glowed a soft hue of reddish jade.
Birgir cat hissed at Lea as he placed the stuffed dragon into her hand with a pouty face.
“Really! Pouting, eighty year old dragons.” Storm grunted in laughter as Lea side- glanced me, shrugging my shoulder to his comment.
Lea slid the bag off her shoulder with a twisted smirk as she tossed the bag at them. All three inhaled the bag with fluttering yellowish-green eyes, opening to find three black dragons with a piece of “onyx” hanging from their necks.
“She left specific instructions to make sure you got these.” Lea smiled, leaning into my chest with Zara cooing with Zarek from our arms.
“Wait! You saw Onyx, where is she?” All three spoke in unison as their eyes darted around the doorway with hopeful expressions.
“They’re going to be crushed.” Storm huffed lowly as his eyes glowed softly from the shadows.
“First we clean up, then we’ll fill you in.” I laughed darkly as Erik and Elli cooed loudly with Zara and Zarek as they laid together on the floor.
Cleaning up the room, before explaining to the triplets that their destined mate is off searching the world for the “Dragon Realm Entrance” to take her rightful place as the “Rebirth”. Dragons are unique creatures, only mate once for their life.
Temperamental, stubborn, overbearing, overprotective, territorial, sexual.
“Quit talking about us like that.” Storm laughed darkly, stopping mid-step as it dawned on me.
“Fuck you! Asshole.” I rebutted as Lea looked over her shoulder at me with a bright smile, picking up the wooden blocks.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way. Daddy.” She purred the last word in link, making us go weak as the “Fucking” third leg twitched to life.
“I still owe you for earlier.” I growled darkly, watching as her body went rigid with a violent shiver.
Smirking at her reaction, coughing, throats clearing behind pulled us from our “conversation” as Kolt and Astoria leaned against the doorframe.
“It smells like…Sex!” Kolt sniffed the air as his eyes narrowed to us with a dark smirk.
Astoria laughed darkly, slapping his chest with a perked brow.
“Keep that up in front our pups, and you won’t get…Sex!” Astoria smacked Lea’s ass cheek with a squeal as Kolt and I stood in amazement.
“Who would have you believed, if they told you we would find our destined mates and have pups.” Kolt laughed darkly as he patted my shoulder with a shit eating grin.
“MOM!” We both spoke in unison as Lea handed Zara over to me with a bright smile.
Her tiny little hand, gripped firmly around my finger as Zarek nestled down into Lea’s chest as we sat on the sofa .
“Who’s Daddy’s little girl?” I cooed at her softly, kissing her tiny hand in my large, soft lips like a prince kissing the princess’s hand.
“So, chivalry.” Storm cooed from the shadows.
Kolt sat next me with Elli looking like a goof with his lips puckered up like a fucking duck.
“Quack…Quack.” Storm laughed darkly as Kolt rubbed her hand against his lips in a feathery kiss.
“Don’t mind us, we’re just a bunch of saps over here.” I laughed softly as Zara busted a heavy yawn, followed closely by Elli.
“So, what’s going on? Where’s Onyx?” Birgir finally spoke with a stone face as his hand held firmly to the stuffed dragon.
“How much has “Mam and Pap” discussed with you?” Lea asked softly as she smiled at Zarek shaking her head slightly with pouted lips.
“They only told us that another Dragon showed-up, but the battlefield was the first, we had ever seen such a majestic creature.” Mikkel rumbled his jowl as Birgir and Davyn gripped their knees with the other hand.
“Don’t forget the Hotel. Birgir looked like he was hallucinating.” Micah pointed with a large smirk plastered across his face.
“All three were deer in headlights.” Nikola scoffed darkly as he wiggled his finger at Erik with a large smirk.
“Shellshocked. She was gorgeous.” Birgir exhaled darkly, throwing his hand in the air.
“Okay, so fill us in?” Davyn sat forward, holding the dragon in his hands, running his thumbs over the belly.
“She’s a “Royal Guardian” sent on a special mission by “Nuwa” to find the “Lost Dragon Realm”, reclaim her position with her destined mates as the “Rebirth”.” Lea exhaled as Zarek slept peacefully in her arms.
Everyone stared at Lea like she had grown three heads, two tails and an extra eyeball in the center of her forehead. Laughing silently as Kolt looked to me with a perked brow.
“What else happened last night?” Kolt linked playfully, leaning over slightly with a curious gaze.
“Behave.” I rebutted as the girls perked a questioning gaze at us.
All three seemed to be having a silent conversation, but their facial expressions displayed confusion, and anger. Mikkel exhaled, leaning his head back against the sofa, rubbing his hands over his face. Davyn stood quickly pacing along the wall, while Birgir stared off into space.
“Draven and Lana gave her all our contact information, and she has a good idea where to start.” I spoke calmly as I stood, placing Zara in her crib.
Kolt was right next to me, turning to the girls to take the sleeping boys with bright smiles, gently placing them next to their sisters. I knew it was going to be hard, but they should understand how important it is to have a “safe place” for their kind.
There’s a reason why the Silverfang brothers went on vacation for three months, to protect their grandparents and parents during nesting season. Only mated dragons nested, but since the Realm was lost their ability to truly nest was halted.
“She’ll be back, and you’ll make great mates.” Lea smiled brightly at them, hugging them with a motherly glow.
Lea turned quickly, jumping unto my back as we filed out the nursery into the hallway laughing as the door clicked softly. Rija, Celia, and Seb joined us as we walked down the hallway towards the dining room.
This was our new “home”, they were our new “family”, and we wouldn’t ask for anything different.
“DEMON WOLF!” Nikola roared playfully as we all laughed darkly.
“DEMON WOLF! AWHOO!” We all boomed loudly.
