CHAPTER 98
I stood there staring at the dragon as it was doing the same to me. It was acting really
strange. It kept sniffing the air before it looked back at me and the guys were getting even
more tense behind me.
“What’s it doing?” Koda asked.
“I don’t know.” I said.
“What’s it thinking?” Dean asked.
“It’s a dragon.” I said. Letting him know that I can’t hear the thoughts of animals. Especially
not mythical ones.
We heard something loud coming towards us which caused us to look up and it was the
wings flapping of another dragon.
It landed next to the one that we were already facing and the second one just landed calmly
and I had no indication at all that it was going to attack us.
But the guys were edging up closer towards me, coming up the side of me so I wasn’t so close
to these creatures.
But suddenly the dragon that just landed reached its long leg out and I saw something slide
down its leg and land on the ground beside it.
A woman then appeared with really long black hair wearing a blue ankle length dress with a
slit right down the middle of the dress to her stomach, where it just covered her breasts and
gold plating over her shoulders to attach the cape that hung behind her with that same gold
plating around her waist.
She walked around the dragon and stood in front of it and smiled when she saw me standing
there.
I don’t know why, but I knew that I could trust her. It was a feeling that I got from her.
I shifted back into my human form and I grabbed the bag off of Koda so I could get dressed.
The
guys all growled and were yelling at me in my head that I was crazy. But I tried to block
them out.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“Aurelia. The keeper of dragons.” She said.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“Waiting for you. My guard could smell the royal blood when he saw you. He’s sorry for attacking you, by the way.” She said.
“You can communicate with them?” I asked.
“Yes. And so can you. Once you get the hang of it.”
“Why are you here?” I asked.

“I’ve been waiting a very long time for you to come and take back this throne. To put order back to the supernatural world. No one told me that it would be such a long wait, but they did tell me that I would be impressed when I finally met the next heir. They weren’t kidding.” She
smiled.
“My mates want to know what you are? A witch? A fae? I can’t tell them because I don’t know.” I said, looking at her confused.
She smiled at me again and looked back at the dragon.
“Time works differently in this dimension. A lot faster than in yours.” She said.
“We’ve only been in this dimension for a couple of hours.” I said.
“Well, it’s been a lot longer back in your world.” She said.
I looked back at the triplets nervously, not knowing how long they’ve had to hide out while
waiting for us to return.
That scared me a lot.
“You’re here for the gemstone.” Aurelia said.
“Yeah.”
“Well, we better get a move on. It’s up at the castle.” She said.
“You’re just going to hand it over? Just like that?”
“I was told to guard it with the dragons until the next heir showed up. I’ve had people show up and try to take it. They were all fried by the dragons. No one has ever gotten close. But it’s yours. It’s your birthright. So, of course I am just going to hand it over.” She said.
She started walking towards the castle and I looked back at the triplets.
I began to follow her. I could feel the hesitation from the triplets, but they were quick to follow
as well. They weren’t going to leave me alone with this woman.
They didn’t trust her.
I didn’t blame them. They didn’t get the feelings that I did. They didn’t sense danger like I did.

And she wasn’t dangerous to me. I knew that she wasn’t.
It took us another hour to walk to the castle and we had to climb the stairs leading up to it.
There were roughly 500 stairs to climb, but at the top were statues of wolves just like at the
triplets California packhouse. These wolves were in dark stone, not white, but they were very
similar.
And we walked through the massive front doors and I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.
The castle was perfectly maintained. There wasn’t anything out of place. And it was clean and tidy and massive.
We started walking down the main hallway until we came to another flight of stairs and we
had to go to the top floor.
The top floor was five stories above us, so it seemed like a lot more stairs that we had to
climb.
We walked down another hallway before Aurelia opened two more large mahogany doors and
she took us inside that room.
She took us to the middle of the room and then stepped aside while I looked ahead of me and there was a case at the top of the room with a green gemstone set in a gold chain inside the
case.
It was floating in the case with a light green glow around it.
“There it is.” Aurelia said.
“I can feel it.” I said.
“That’s because it’s yours. It’s finally found its owner. It’s been waiting for you just as long as I
have.”
I slowly walked forward towards the case and when I got right in front of it I took the lid off of
the case.
“Nova.” Koda said. But I didn’t answer him.
I could feel the power of the gemstone. I could feel it calling to me.
It was pulling me towards it.
It belonged to me and I knew that just by looking at it. It was meant to be mine and no one
else’s.
It’s been waiting for me, just like Aurelia said.

I reached out and grabbed a hold of the gemstone.
The chain hung over my hand while I looked at the stone.

But I grabbed the chain and I put it over my head and the gemstone was hanging down around
my chest.
I turned around to look at the others and suddenly I felt a sudden torrent of power run through
me and a green burst of energy flew out from the gemstone while I was wearing it and it knocked the guys off their feet.
But when they got up and they started growling until they took a look at me.
I could see myself in their minds.
My eyes were glowing green, my hair had turned completely white that was practically the same color as the snow and I looked down at the gem that was still glowing on my chest.
“Are you alright?” Tyler asked.
“I’m great. Let’s go get your family back.” I said.
