Chapter 41 - The Killer Returns

**Kaida's P.O.V.**

*"Are you kidding me? We're mated to a werewolf? If we wanted to mate in our forms, how is that going to work? I guess I'll have to live vicariously through you."* I try to ignore Binnie as I stare at the man on the porch. He has short blonde hair and amber eyes. When he runs down the steps, I'm too shocked to move.

"Mate." We both say. He looks confused, and my heart sinks. Does he already have a mate? Is this going to be a rejection?

"I'm Kaida," I tell him. He smiles but still has that look of confusion on his face.

"I'm Luka." Now I get it. That's why he's confused.

"Well, Luka. I'm sorry to inform you that Shirley was not your fated mate; she had a witch make a potion to make you think she was. Oh, yeah, and she's dead because I just killed her." I'm not one to mince my words; I've been around too long for that. His mouth falls open, and then he starts laughing.

"That's perfect. I wondered why I didn't have any pain when I rejected her. She was a miserable person who made everything she touched equally miserable. So you're a dragon. How does it feel being mated to a werewolf?" I cross my arms and smirk. As much as I don't like playing sloppy seconds to Shirley, there's no way I'm throwing this catch back to the sea.

"It feels pretty amazing, actually. What about you? You're not afraid I'll set your ass on fire when you piss me off, are you?" He takes a step closer, and his smile grows.

"No way. You're a breath of fresh air. I was hoping I would have a second chance with a mate that was like the strong women around here. Who knew my fated mate would be the best of them all?" Yes, I think I'm blushing.

"I take offense to that." I turn and see the woman who I was keeping my eye on when I got here still holding her sword. Selene warned me about her. She said don't piss Jessi off, or she'll never let you live it down. However, she also said she had the biggest heart of anyone she knew and would die for those she cared about.

"I don't think we've been properly introduced. You're Jessi, right?" I move toward her, and Luka walks with me.

"Yes. How do you know my name?" She narrows her eyes at me. I like her already. She's like me and doesn't take any shit from no one.

"Selene told me about you. She has a lot of respect for you. It's nice to meet you all. I'm only here to help because I've heard that what's coming isn't going to be easily beaten." Jessi puts her sword away and tilts her head to the side while she studies me. I'm petite, but she's smaller yet more muscular than me. I can turn into an enormous dragon, but she makes me feel like I'm still a baby dragon waiting for her approval. The power that radiates off her is incredible, and I can see why everyone has so much respect for her.

"I like you." Why is everyone sighing in relief at what she said? Did they think she was going to attack me? Who am I kidding? I was afraid she was going to attack me when I showed up.

"Thank you. I like you too. Now that I've stopped Shirley, I should tell you I've taken out a few other smaller nuisances that were coming your way. Now, I'm here to join you in your fight. So what's first?" Jessi walks over and links her arm with mine.

"We were just getting ready to train. Would you like to train with us?" She asks. Why do I feel like this is a setup? I don't usually fight people; that's what my dragon, fire breathing, and magic are for.

"Uh, sure." Jessi smiles, but it makes me nervous.

"Good, you can be my partner." She looks at Luka and rolls her eyes. "Don't worry, I won't wear her out too much. You can do that later."

"Can I ask you something?" I turn and see a beautiful woman with long red hair. She makes me want to smile, so I know she has to be a fairy. I love fairies.

"Sure. What's your name?" I reply as we begin walking.

"Davina. Do dragons mate in their animal form?" She asks.

"Sometimes," I answer. I hear several chuckles around me.

"If a dragon isn't male or female, does it have a penis? I'm only asking because I would think that might hurt Luka's wolf. On the other hand, if the wolf tries to mate with your dragon, it may be disappointed because it won't feel anything." I stop walking and turn to stare at her. At first, I think she's joking, but when I look at her, I see she's completely serious. How do I answer that? It doesn't help that Binnie is laughing in my head so hard I can barely hear anything else.

"My dragon won't mate with his wolf," I answer her. She looks thoughtful for a minute and then smiles.

"Good. I have a new song." Everyone groans, but it doesn't prepare me for what she sings.

*"The dragon and the wolf. The dragon and the wolf. When they fuck they'll be out of luck. The dragon and the wolf.*

*The dragon and the wolf. The dragon and the wolf. When they fuck they'll be out of luck. The dragon and the wolf."*

For once, I am completely speechless. Jessi grabs my arm, and we begin walking again.

"You're lucky; at least the song she made for you wasn't about spinning on a penis." I look at Davina, and she's laughing as she twirls. I have been around the world and seen many things, but this group is definitely one of a kind.

**The Killer's P.O.V.**

I was derailed last night from taking a life; that won't happen again. I saw the dragon land, but that won't stop me either. I will be successful in reminding these idiots that I'm still out here, and they should fear me.

Satan thinks he's above me, but he's my puppet. I'll show him that he's been doing everything I want for a long time. I have turned others against him and released the hounds of hell behind his back. Now, once I have the legends, I'll be able to rule over earth, the one place he's unable to go. The power will be mine, and everyone will fall to their knees as they bow to me.

I watch the group of fools go to the training facility. I'm black as night and can be right next to them without causing them concern. While they're busy, I look for an open window in the pack house. When I find one, I go inside and shift into my human-like form. I sneak around upstairs, looking for a room with someone in it. Why wait for the night when I can do it during the day right under their noses?

When I hear two people talking, I almost laugh. I know exactly who they are, and they're perfect. Their deaths will cause an uproar in the entire pack. I open the door and peek inside. They're sitting on the couch with their backs to me. Two for the price of one.

I sneak behind them and pull out my blade. Neither of them notice me as they continue talking. When I'm right behind them, they turn and try to scream. I have both their throats slit before the first sound comes out. The benefit of being a demon is that I can cover my scent from being detected by lowly werewolves.

When I hear a whimper, I look over and see a pup in a bouncy seat in front of the couple. I recognize her. She came with the warriors from the palace. Well, I think it's time I leave her parents a message while they're busy training. This will be an important message, one they won't forget. Fear me, imbeciles.
