I shot backwards, knocking myself from Draco's grasp. "That didn't happen when you were out..." he said to himself, yet loud enough for me to hear. "Your.. your glowing! Your mark!! Why is your mark glowing!!" I was crawling backwards as fast as I could. I wanted to get away from here. I wanted to run, but my curiosity kept preluding my ability to do and think rationally. "Hatie! .... Hatie!" He yelled. Hatie ran in, almost out of breath. "Fetch father immediately, something happened." he said, also seemingly trying to wrap his mind around the fact of what exactly it meant to have your birthmark glow. Hatie rushed to fetch Draco and Bash's father, whom of which I had not yet met.
A few moments passed and Hatie returned with their father.
Draco and Bash took after their father with the dark hair and dreamy eyes, though their father was paler and a lot taller. "What is the meaning of this Draco! What was so important that I must be awoken at this time of morn!" Their father seemed stirred. "Father, I am incredibly sorry, but, this is an important matter." Draco said to his father, then turned to me. "Ryder, this is my father Marco." he said introducing me. Marco looked puzzled, as though we were waisting his time. "I was awoke for an introduction?!" Marco says angry. "No father, I had you woke to see this," Draco held out his hand to me, silently signaling me to come closer to him. I did as asked and came up to his side. The closer I stood to him the more I could see the height difference between us, he was taller than me by almost 2 feet, but that's not hard with me being only 4 foot 8 on a good day. Before I could realize what he was doing he took my hand in his, holding it up for his father to see. To my amazement it didn't hurt like it had the first time. Draco looked from me to his father. "We need to find out what Kingdom she comes from, now more than ever father." Draco said to his father. I could tell his father was contemplating what to do.
Another moment passed and he finally answered. "Take her to my observatory in an hour. We will do the tests." his father said walking out of the room. "And Draco, make sure no harm comes to her, Lucian must have a pretty reward for your bride to be here." he says, pointing behind him, as us.
Marco walked out of the room, followed by Hatie, shutting the door behind them, leaving Draco and I to ourselves. I turned to Draco, I could feel all the built up emotions I have kept hidden flood my body, leaving trails of what are now rivers streaming down my pale face. "What do you want from me!! I have been kidnapped and drugged more than once! I have been darted and swarmed by men! I keep getting chased and now I'm supposedly engaged to a man I have literally just met an hour ago!" Anger and pain, and most of all confusion and pain raced through my veins. Draco's mouth was held tightly shut. "Ryder, I know you have just arrived and that this is all going really fast for you, but I too am trying to do the best I can." He stepped closer to me, breaking the distance. I looked up at him with tear ridden eyes, full of anger. "I will never hurt you Ryder. No matter how you feel or how scared you are, there is now a WE, and with that means all your emotions, all that pain you keep hiding, it's my burdon to carry too. We will get through this." He said, wiping a tear from my face that had already started to run down my cheek. I couldn't resist his touch, and with that I felt my head lean into his hand. Somehow I felt safe, safe in a way I have never felt before, and no after how much I restrained myself I knew he was right. "We need to get to my father soon, before he begins to get even more angry at me than he already is." Draco said.What in God's name have I bloody gotten myself into.
