The Heart Of A Dragon *Not Edited*

Mini Pov:Lorik

For the entire night I could find no peace, the way my son treated that poor girl gnawed at me continuously.

When morning arrived my usually servant rushed into my room with my robe and slid it onto my shoulders. As I exited the room she quickly went to make the bed.

My bare feet pressed against the cold tile as I walked into the dining room, there was no sight of my son, just my lovely wife. She smiled warmly at me as she lifted her teacup to her lips."Good morning love, how are you feeling?, You look as though you didn't sleep a wink."

Grunting in response I sat down in my chair and took a long gulp from y water glass."No actually I didn't it, how could I when our son acted like a baboon last night." I grumbled.

My wife set her cup down quickly as a frown over took her features."I suppose he met the girl last night, now Lorik don't be so hard on him. I understand if he was a little harsh but-"

A bitter chuckle escaped my lips and ceased her little defense."A little harsh!?, The girl left the only family she has, rode all the way here only for our son to call her an ugly slave Numissa! The damn boy was more then harsh." I snapped

A spray of tea dusted over the white linen tablecloth and Numissa began coughing wildly. Jumping from my chair I rushed I er side and began rubbing her back, her glittery blue eyes stared up at me in shock."Lorik, please tell me your making a sick joke." She pleaded

With a shake if my head I quickly gave her the answer, she flew out of her chair and curled her hands into fists."How dare he speak to a woman like that, this land is already filled with raging testosterone filled morons and I refuse to have my son act that way!"

She spun towards me, her eyes wild and smoke curling from her nostrils."Find Cassius and bring him to me, have our new family member join us for breakfast. I want to meet her and express my sincere apologies." She ordered

I walked over to the dining table and picked up the small silver bell sitting in the middle, with a small ring three of our servants walked into the room and bowed. Setting the bell down I turned to the three and pointed to only two of them."Serena please go to our grand guest room and bring Emerald for breakfast, Diana find Cassius and tell him his mother demands to see him at once. Dismissed."

Both women rushed from the dining room, I turned towards Numissa and smiled."Maybe you could show Emerald around or take her to the seamstress, her clothes are a little old and of course she's going to need a wedding gown." I said

Excitement filled her bright blue eyes and her lips formed a small O as she realized she could go shopping, I chuckled quietly just as two loud screams echoed through the castle. Sharing a look with Numissa we both took off running in the direction, Diana stood in the middle of the hallway with a sleepy Cassius standing in front of her with only a silk sheet wrapped around his waist.

Diana's cheeks held a bright pink hue and her eyes wide, she tugged at her tan apron nervously and glanced at me."Sire, I...I found master Cassius in bed sleeping but not alone." She stuttered

Numissa surged forward and latched her pointy sharp nails onto Cassius's ear."Not alone!?, Your bedding women while your soon to be bride is in the house! We will certainly discuss this later young man but for right now we're going to check on our guest!" She hissed

I glared at Cassius as I walked past him and made my way to the grand guest room, outside Emeralds door stood Serena. Her face pale as a sheet, her hands shook and her eyes held nothing but fear."I've never seen anything like it Sire, she's...I...I don't understand.." She whispered

Confused I gently pushed the door open and walked inside, from behind I could hear the shuffling of my wife and son who slowly followed me. I walked over to the bed and stood there, Emerald lay in mid air above the bed, her hair flowed around her as if she were submerged under water.

My wife gently touched my shoulder as she stood beside me."I've never seen such a thing, it's as though she's protecting herself while sleeping. She truly is powerful and beautiful." She breathed

Quietly I began backing out of the room with Numissa in my arms, I leaned down to her ear and whispered."Yes love, let's wait for her to awaken though. Let us have a chat with our son while we wait for her to join us."
