The Hybrid King, The Rise of the Kingdoms

Chapter Twenty-Seven

[P.O.V. Zyston Woods]

Lying on the bed with Adriana. With her back up against me as we lay on our sides. Listening to her talk also admiring my mark on her. It was a dreamcatcher with my initials on the feathers. Inside, the dreamcatcher was a half-wolf and dragon face. Coming together, making an entire face, and the background was a forest.

"Zyston?.." Adriana asks my name, really quiet.

"Yes, Little Light." Answering back.

"The Warlock I killed.. he said something I wanted to talk about."

"What did he tell you?" Telling me the long riddle he told her.

The only thing is, it is not a riddle, but a prophecy. The same one my Father, used to tell me. Only back then, I thought it was a riddle until my mother taught me it wasn't.

"It not a riddle Adriana, it's the prophecy about the new Kingdom rising. The small five kingdoms are the five towns that surround Raven City. The heart of the Kingdom is Raven City itself... Have you ever heard of the story of how the Moon Mother chose her King?" She nods her head. "Well, there are five other stories similar to it. They all go along with this prophecy. This prophecy also talks about King's and Queen's." 'How do I tell her we are the re-carnation of the dead werewolf king and queen? Oh, and how my dragon Stryker is the re-carnation. Of the werewolf king gaurdian.' asking myself.

"Don't worry, babe, I figured out that we are the reborn King and Queen." She says shyly but also a little confident. Well, that took me by surprise. At the same time gave my beasts and me a wave of relief.

"Really?" Was the only word I could utter out. She nods her head. "Then you know that we have a lot of work to do? We got to finish gathering up our armies, Making war strategies, Getting all the King's and Queen's together, and a whole bucket list of things to do." Telling her, she turns around and presses her hand. On my chest and looks into my eyes.

"Don't worry. I'll be by your side the whole way." She smiles brightly while biting her lip.

"Fuck, I love you." Slamming my lips to her. It makes me proud knowing my Mate has accepted her role in this life. The little time she has had to accept impressed me. Not because I doubt her because I don't. It's the fact of how fast she has accepted within time itself.

"I love you too," Adriana says in heavy breaths. Then, pressing her lips against mine, we end up having sex again.

[P.O.V. Adriana Braxton]

Getting dressed, Zyston and I went downstairs. Meeting with everyone that plays a huge part in this coming war. Talking about war things and what to expect from now on. I also met Shiloh, formally. Also found out Milo, Gilo, and Shiloh our my guardians.

After talking for hours, everyone left the packed conference room. All besides Zyston, Katrina, and me. She was looking disappointed. I know Tyler has been hard on her after what we did. I thought they would have worked it out now. Like Jolene and I have with our mates. Zyston gathering up the rest of some papers and then grabs my hand.

"Ready?" He asks

"I'm going to stay for a minute. I'll catch up with you." Telling Zyston, he sees where I'm looking.

"Alright, see you at dinner." He kisses my cheek and leaves. Sitting next to Kat, she exhales.

"I screwed up big time Adri, Tyler really mad. Haven't seen him this mad. Since the time we fought before we got married." Kat says sadly.

"Come on, he can't be that mad. If Zyston and Joseph can forgive Jolene and me. Then certainly, he can forgive you."

"They're something I have told no one until recently... I am a month and one week pregnant."
