The Dragon Prince

Manifest

After talking, Alyssa calmed down, and I returned her to Izzy's house. I was pissed at Scarlet's behavior; she is a member of the elders and should set a better example.

"Thanks for walking me back, Vincent," Alyssa smiled.

It's my pleasure. I'll see you later." Vincent nodded.

"Vincent, wait!" before he could leave, I grabbed his hand. Sparks rushed up my arm, and my body felt numb, but not the wrong kind.

"Yes?" I looked at Alyssa.

"What will the Elders do now?" Alyssa asked.

"I don't know, but don't worry about that. Take it easy, and I'll let you know if anything changes. Good night, Alyssa." I walked off.

"Goodnight," She waved.

I got back to the palace and saw Scarlet walking to another location. I'm going to give this bitch a piece of my mind. But where is she going, though?

I followed Scarlet into the gardens and hid behind some bushes. "Which of you is Alex?" Scarlet said. I took a peek and saw Scarlet meeting with my sister and Scott. What's going on here?

"I am," Alex said.

"I wanted to thank you for the tip about the girl," Scarlet said, thanking Alex.

She's called the Elders about Aylssa!!!? That two-timing daughter of a bitch. Sorry, mom.

"How long are you staying?" Alex asked.

"We have yet to make that decision," Scarlet said.

"Alright, we will discuss more of this later. Scott, why don't you show Scarlet around," Alex said.

"Sure," Scott bowed.

Scott left with Scarlet.

"I know you're here, Vincent; Scott noticed you and warned me," Alex called out.

Great, I'm not as subtle as I think. "Let's get this out in the open, shall we, dear sister? You called the Elders?!" I clenched my teeth.

"I did," Alex admitted.

"Why would you do that? Are you insane?" I yelled.

"It's protocol, Vincent. You should know that more than anyone." Alexandria grinned.

I grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to a tree. "NOT WHEN IT COMES TO MY MATE AND YOUR FUTURE QUEEN!" I could feel my rage reaching its boiling point.

"I knew it; the Goddess mated you to the Gold Dragon. I needed them to know about her existence so we could know she was not a threat," Alex said.

"She's my mate Alexandria; I would know if she was a threat to Varrfarrinn or the other six kingdoms," I growled.

"You are blinded by the mate bond, Vincent," Alex said, gasping for air.

"Why are you against her? Hasn't she been through enough?" I squeezed my grip around her neck.

"The question is, why are YOU so blind?" I staggered when Alex broke my grip and pushed me back.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I crossed my arms.

"You know exactly what that means. Ever since Alyssa arrived, you've been distracted, and now I know that it's the mate bond you have with her. I'm happy you found your mate, brother, but she is a threat until we know more about her. The Elders don't know about your newly discovered bond with the girl, and I wonder what they will do if they have that information. Only dad would have your back if they knew. Only the elders can decide if she's a threat, and Gold Dragons don't just fall out of the skies. I didn't think they would send Scarlett, as she can be straightforward."
