Beatrice Dismay:
I watched Akin narrow his eyes in my face and then gulp. I feared hearing hateful words from him. It would be too much for me.
âStay!â He closed his eyes and whispered, âPlease, stay!â He sounded like he was requesting. I kept staring at him before I cleared my throat, calming my racing breaths, and then uttered, âIâm a weredragon!â
Title of the document Zane flinched behind him. Maybe he didnât know about the letter because the way he frowned and approached us made it clear.
âI know,â Akin nodded, âStay,â he said again, despite being reminded that Iâm the creature he hates the most.
âSo that you can punish me?â I asked in the softest voice because he was standing too close to me.
âI can never!â He sounded so offended when he heard me ask that.
âThen?â I asked again, feeling weirdly at ease. His energy was positive toward me. I could almost hear his heartbeat from this close.
âJust donât leave me. Nobody has to know what you are,â he requested while his brother agitatedly walked beside us, running a hand through his hair and expressing his anxiety.
âI donât want to live secretly anymore. Akin! Iâm not ashamed of who I am. I am a proudâweredragon princess,â and as soon as those words left my l*ips, he stepped back and gasped.
âWhat?â Akin and Zane spoke in unison. The two were staring at my face, but it was Akin who looked more shocked.
âYou are the chilâ one of the twins that you saidâ,â Akin paused when he rubbed his face in his hands and then sighed.
âWait! What twins?â Zane frowned, hunching over to ask me.
âMy parents said Pamela lied about everything out of anger and rage,â Akin whispered in disbelief. He was now conflicted because I had a reason to lie about his parents just to clear the name of my kind.âI understand if you donât want to trust my words, but I cannot stay back. I have to clear the names of my people and rescue them,â it felt so good to be finally talking about my people and my dragon.
âLetâs get out of here first,â Akin said, then gently patted Zaneâs chest when he watched him open his mouth to question me again. Zane looked frustrated that he didnât know about something before anyone else.
âIâm not going anywhere. I am returning home,â I protested, but Akin kept shaking his head at me.
âYou cannot free them until you have proven them innocent. We donât even know how they are trapped behind that magical door.
What if my father and the council send people to collect you while you havenât even freed them?â he argued while deepening his stare into my face.
âNow please!â Akin requested, and I reluctantly nodded and walked behind him to his car. Zane sat in his car, and soon we sped off to the house Akin had gotten me a few weeks ago.
Sitting in a car after he found out about my truth made me worry about how he didnât explode at me.
I kept my calm while Akin took me to this house, where I would spend the next few days until Akin made sure everything was safe for me.
Zane didnât follow us because Akin told him to return to the mansion and stay with Sofia to ensure she didnât tell anyone about me.
After we entered the house, he paced back and forth while I sat on the couch for the next few minutes.
âTell me, what are you thinking?â I had to ask because it was about me. I need to know what is running through his head at this point.
He stopped pacing and, with an aggressive grunt, sat down beside me.
âWhat made you think I will hurt you if I find out you are a weredragon?â He looked me in the eye intently when asking me a question that he himself knew the answer to.
âPlease tell me what made you think like that?â he asked again.
âUmm! Apart from the gazillion times, you said it yourself?â I raised my brow, murmuring softly but making my point. He was the one who would always preach about âhow he will punish the weredragons,â and now he was asking me, what made me think likethat?â
âOh!â he sighed, âbut did it never occur to you that you might be an exception?â His voice was coming out in whispers this time.
âI couldnât take a risk,â I said.
âYour pills!â He suddenly straightened his posture before recalling my medicines, âYou will need those in order to hide your form for now,â he suggested, but my head shake worried him.
âI am not upsetting Ace anymore,â I pouted when denying the help of pills. âAny which way, I am not transitioning before 20 says,â I said, â18 now,â I added as I remembered how fast the days were sl*ipping through my grasp.
âUgh! It is fine. I will manage something. We have to first prove the innocence of weredragons,â he said, snapping his fingers after his statement as if he were busy thinking.
We sat in silence for another two minutes before he turned to me to raise some other questions, but this time he was much calmer.
âWhy change the rules for me?â I whispered before he could ask me anything.
The silence from his side was awkward but also racing my heartbeat. âI thought you already knew from that hallucination thing,â
he whispered, raising his face and meeting eyes with mine.
âI cannot lose you,â he said, staring profoundly and breathing so calmly that I was getting comfort from him. We stayed looking into each otherâs eyes for a minute when his stare traveled down to my l*ips and I lost my heartbeat.
I had to keep myself together because I didnât want to alarm him. He kept watching my l*ips before he finally took them and buried his face in mine. I closed my eyes when I watched him reach for my l*ips, and in the next second, our l*ips were connected for the very first time.
