Realized there were problems with this chapter showing so I reposted it.
Dragons Mate 7
RECAP:
Beyond him, I notice the room is empty with Axial no where in sight.
Maybe he went to go take a dump..
"We need to talk." he states those golden spheres almost glowing under the fluorescent bathroom lights
"Um...ok?...can we not right now? I'm kind of...naked." I state watching as the gold flared within those eyes at that last word.
"Twenty minutes. Meet us downstairs. We need to explain and clear up some things. There's also someone coming here we need you to meet.
"Who?" I ask curious as he turns to leave.
He paused mid stride, turning back to face me
"My fiancé.

Fiancée - a woman that is engaged to be married.
His fiancée. His to-be bride.
From the second the words had left his lips upstairs over twenty minutes ago, I haven't quite been able to download or process it.
A part of me-hèll who am I kidding-all of me, down to my very soul cringed and snarled in fury at the word. A picture of whomever this 'fiancé' might be raced through my mind half a million times. Along with it was half a million ways to efficiently make her have a major 'accident' with each possibility worst than the last.
I even find myself going as far as picking out the best way-slow deliberate poison- before reality caught up and the big question slammed the wheels to a shrieking halt on my thoughts.
Why the héll does that concern me? What did Damien having a fiancée have to do with me? I barely knew the guy, and the few times I'd been around him, he'd been either an arrogant bàstard or a cold demanding jerk who slammed me out with that ferocious arctic look.
And yet...why does that one word feel like someone pouring piss on the remaining flesh after skin just got peeled off?
Besides I didn't like when people judged me, I wasn't going to judge the girl before I met her.
I take a deep breath moving down the stairs in both trepidation and curiosity. Let's see who this 'fiancee' is...the little bítch.
"I don't know why you are being so headstrong about this." Axial's voice had me freezing seconds before I showed myself with the turn on the stairs.
"Im being sensible and doing my job maintaining the peace and balance in our kingdom."
"She's our mate Damien. She's our one true chance of happiness. How can you not see what a mistake you are making?"
"Mistake?"
"Yes. Have you ever heard of a seal that wasn't acknowledged? Or a mate that was cut off or broken?"
"She's human. Not only is finding our mate right now the worst possible timing ever, but she is human. Human Axial! Remember what the last human that was anywhere close to us did?"
There was a slight hesitation, a brief moment of silence before Axial spoke again but much softer.
"She's not her Damien. Catherine was a mistake."
"A mistake that almost cost this kingdom it's freedom. That cost you your birthright dammit. Filthy creature. They are all alike. The bond even if we seal it won't be for her up to half what it would mean to any shifter or any other creature."
