“Keep again!” one of many guards shouted as I touched down.

“WHERE IS SHE?”

Extra guards poured up from the begins. I paused, staring on the beehive of exercise my arrival had stirred up. For therefore many to reach so quick, they needed to have been ready.

“Keep again!” the guard shouted once more as I walked ahead.

I held my arms out at my facet, letting my physique language loosen up. One thing was amiss, and I wanted solutions. I wouldn’t get them by means of intimidation.

Behind me, Caleb and Shi got here in with swift landings.

“What occurred right here?” I requested the guard. “I’m not going to assault. However inform me what went down? Why are you on such alert?”

The guard regarded me up and down, realizing who I used to be. “We have been attacked,” he mentioned unhappily.

“Seth.” It wasn’t a query.

“I don’t know. They hit us too quick. We weren’t prepared, my males on the roof have been taken down with out warning.”

Caleb hurried over to my facet. “What’s happening?”

“Seth hit the palace. And the dungeons, too, I’d wager.”

The guard stiffened. “How did you—”

“They have been after the human. Chloe,” I mentioned, livid. “They bought her, I assume?”

“Sure,” the guard mentioned unhappily, trying up and over my shoulder.

I turned to see the sovereign land, escorted by my father, her son Vicek, and several other others.

“I’ve to go,” the guard mentioned, hurrying over to make a report.

We adopted in his wake. I heard the report. Six dragons.

“Do we all know the place they took her?” the sovereign was asking as I approached. “The place did they go?”

“You keep out of this!” my father barked as he noticed me stroll over. “You’ve performed sufficient harm for in the present day. What the fuck do you suppose you have been doing again there? Do you’ve any concept what you probably did?”

I ignored him. “They took her to their home. I’m sure of it. Caine advised me he deliberate to destroy our home. She’s a part of his plan. They gained’t danger going someplace they really feel extra weak.”

“What did I say?” my father shouted. “You might be performed.”

Closing my eyes, I counted to 10 whereas he continued on his tirade, hoping he would cease.

He didn’t.

My eyes snapped open, and in a sudden burst, I used to be in his face.

“They’ve her,” I mentioned coldly. “They’ve her, and I’m going to get her. You possibly can both be a superb father for as soon as in your fucking life and help your son, your flesh and blood, and assist me get her again. Or you may fuck the hell off and by no means speak to me once more. Ever. Everybody will know the way horrible a piece-of-shit particular person you might be as a father, and I’ll do the whole lot my energy to wrest the household management away from you, so you may cease ruining it.”

He opened his mouth to yell. I slapped him. In entrance of everybody.

“That is your final likelihood.” I relented a bit as he stared daggers at me, his cheek purple. “Please. I’m your son. I’m hurting. Be a superb dad or mum. Please. I would like my dad. Not the pinnacle of home, not the main Council member. My dad.”

I fought again a tightness in my throat as I let free one thing deep down I hadn’t vocalized to anybody. The ache at not having that determine in my life since I used to be a toddler.

Maybe it was the slap. Maybe it was the admission of my very own wants. I didn’t know, however for a second, I noticed one thing resembling actual care in his eyes.
