Darien and Alora continued to have their silent conversation while Alpha Andrew Luna Ember and Officer Terrawing talked about the Will and how everything was to proceed. Serenity was looking back and forth from Darien to Alora, watching them with a curious gaze that held a hint of amusement.
‘Just tell me’ Darien mouthed the demand to Alora.
Alora glared at Darien, then raised her hand to touch the tip of her ear, then moved her hand down to touch the corner of one eye. Then Alora moved her hand even farther down and moving her lips aside tapped her teeth with one nail. Finally, she mouthed at Darien, ‘You figure it out.”
A
Serenity who had been watching Alora, felt her eyes widen. “No…it couldn’t be.’ she thought internally then she looked at the male next to her mate.
“Pointy ears…tri-colored eyes…with upper and lower fangs longer than any werewolf’s fangs. Oh! Great Moon Goddess! Rose!
He’s a Dragon Master!” Serenity screamed to her wolf.
“Shhhhhh! Don’t let him hear you screaming at me!” Rose screamed back.
“Are you nuts?! He can’t hear us talking to each other! That’s impossible!…And you’re screaming too!” Serenity shouted back at her.
“Shhhhhh! I don’t care if it is not supposed to be possible! I feel like it could be possible! My fur is standing on end!” Rose screamed back.
Darien next to Serenity was also having his own realization of what the giant male seated next to him was. ‘Dragon Master! He’s a Dragon Master!” he silently shouted at Alora.
Alora’s nod of confirmation did not make Darien feel better, because she had been right. Darien really didn’t want to know he was sitting next to a being that could swallow him whole in their shifted form.
Darien’s wolf Axel wasn’t doing much better, with his fur standing on end, he had an intense desire to grab his mate and run.
While instinctively knowing that would be an unbelievably bad idea as it would only draw the Dragon Master’s attention.
*The pups seem a little excited about what I am.” Officer Terrawing said to Alpha Andrew, amused by their reactions to him. “One looks as if she wants to study me, another looks as if she’s fighting with herself internally, and the other is trying to fight his instincts.”
The three he mentioned, Alora, Serenity, and Darien in that order, froze with stunned expressions on their faces. The wide-eyed looks the Dragon Master received from the three pups greatly amused him. Officer Terrawing loved being around younglings of all kinds, he always found their varied reactions to him amusing.
Alpha Andrew saw how amused the Dragon Master was and smiled. “I take it pups amuse you?”
“Younglings of all kinds amuse me. It has been a few centuries since my mates and have had a hatchling of our own. Sadly, even our eldest hatchling remains unmated, and we have no grand hatchlings to fawn over. Far too many Dragon Masters are going through the centuries without finding their mates as we have become too closely related to find our fated mates among our own kind. But my King is issuing an order and a change to our laws that gives me hope that all my hatchlings will soon be allowed to go out in the world and hopefully find their fated mates among the other beings of the world.” Officer Terrawing told him.
Alpha Andrew looked surprised. “Really, what about the Bloodpurists of the Dragon Master Council?”
“The King is no longer going to allow the Bloodpurists of the Dragon Master Council to prevent Dragon Masters from seeking their fated mates in other species. Before, the only reason the King allowed it was because the vast majority of Dragon Masters agreed with those Bloodpurists. Now with the majority of Dragon Masters four centuries and remaining mateless, they have changed their tune. Many a Dragon Master is tired of going through these long centuries alone, no mate, and no Hatchlings.”
Officer Terrawing said, “The King’s order is being made official right now. Tomorrow you should start receiving requests for permission to enter your territory from Dragon Masters seeking their fated mates.”
Alpha Andrew’s expression was joyful, as was Luna Ember’s, this was an opportunity for many of their mateless Pack members to find their fated mates as well.
“This is wonderful news you bring us, we will welcome what Dragon Masters decide to start their search here.” Alpha Andrew said.
“That is good. My female said you were a great Alpha of Alpha’s and would welcome this news.” Officer Terrawing complemented.
“Your female?” Alpha Andrew asked.
“A female Werewolf from the Middle Plains Pack, she still has many kin in that Pack, and we visit often. My male and I found her when we were flying out to her Pack on Council business centuries ago, she was out for a run. It was an eventful first meeting.”
Officer Terrawing said, rubbing the back of his head smiling and laughing.
Luna Ember laughed. “I’ll bet, I can only imagine what it would have been like as a female out on a run, and then to suddenly be surrounded by two giant dragons. I would think I was about to become lunch.”
Officer Terrawing looked at Luna Ember with his eyes wide, then he burst into deep rumbling laughter. “That is exactly what she thought, at first. She was snarling and barking, then she transformed, and we quickly realized the snarling and barking was her cursing and yelling at us for scaring her half to death and making her think she was about to become a midafternoon meal. Then she proceeded to yell at us that we were lucky she was a wolf and could scent that we were her mates, and would we please transform so we were no longer towering over her with hungry expressions on snouts that had way too many teeth for her liking.”
Alpha Andrew and Luna Ember laughed with the Dragon Master. It was obvious that he adored his mates and was more than okay with having a cranky cursing Werewolf female as one of them.
“Well, I am glad your female put in a good word for me.” Alpha Andrew placed a hand on Alora’s shoulder. “This is Alora, the pup mentioned in the Will, I have the paperwork here with me,” He pointed to a yellow file sitting on the table. “That proves Alora has met the terms on her end to receive her inheritance.”
“Excellent.” Terrawing said, he held out a hand for the folder and Alpha Andrew handed it to him. The Dragon Master looked through all the paperwork and found that everything was in order. “Good, good, she has indeed met the requirements of the Will as set forth in order for her to claim her inheritance.” Officer Terrawing’s gaze snapped up to meet Alora’s, startling her a little.
“How long have you known about this Will and your inheritance?”
Alora did not expect to be asked this question so suddenly and immediately spat out the answer. “Just now, right before you arrived.”
