Jayla's pov

Things were going smoothly for the most part. We have been here a month already and we have come up with a good plan. We have no clue how the other realms are doing because we are pretty much cut off from everyone else. I just hope that we still have the allies we once had and that when they get word, they come to stand with us or else we will lose the war and have no place to go.

I have been spending a lot of my time in the castle with Kingston. I feel like he just gets me and is very much a part of me as if he is the missing piece to me, but I also feel this pull towards Jayden, but he is still acting so strange with me. It's as if we are business partners and nothing more. He will only talk to me about the plan and nothing more. Kingston is the man who has been warming my bed at night and the more Jayden pushes me away the closer Kingston and I get. Maybe he truly is the one I am meant to be with and not Jayden.

Outside of the castle, I have been going on secret dates with Micah. I know he's only a human which could only lead to trouble, but I liked him, and I was fascinated by everything he told me about the human realm. He would bring me books and maps. Things I have never known about, and I treasured that. I knew I could never truly have him because if he ever found out about any of us it would be trouble for all of us. I knew I should stay away from him, but I just couldn't.

Mena has become very close with Lea and me almost like a sister. I was glad she was here, and she helped us keep the men in check. Jovani kept going over the maps we had of the human realm as well as the ones we had for all the other realms and together we think we might have found something that for now we are just keeping between us and Lea. We think we found a tenth realm. If this was true, then we planned on going there to see what was on it. If no one lived there and it was safe for us we wanted to make it home.

I knew even if we won the war the realms just wouldn't feel like home to me anymore so with this new realm, we can have it where any shifter or human that wants to be there and live in peace amongst each other can. I put the human part in there because well I just didn't want to give up Micah. Without him, I would have never known about this secret realm. I told Jovani because I did trust him and Lea. I will tell Kingston once I know more about it. As for the others, I am not so sure they need to know just yet.

Normally I would have told Jayden but right now with how he is acting I am just not sure that I can trust him anymore. He has pushed all of us away and just keeps to himself. I mean for all I know he could be talking to his father and telling him everything. I hope that isn't true but for now, I only tell the others what I think they need to know. I just wasn't sure who I could and couldn't trust anymore and I will be damned if anyone gets hurt because I trusted the wrong person.

Gypsy's pov (The shifter Jayden was to marry)

I have been pacing waiting for these morons to do something, but they wait and say all in no time. Maxim promised my father that I would be married to Jayden. See we both come from powerful dragon bloodlines that are pure. We are full dragons, not half like most of these shifters now. With Jayden and I together we would be the most powerful realm and that's what I wanted. Power.

Once I got my power, I would kick Jayden to the curb because he is not who I want but no he had to go and fall in love with a Fae of all people. They were so beneath us. I bet that bitch charmed him and that's why he left me. No way would he leave someone like me with his own free will.

Now I am counting on some former Fae Queen that is useless and Maxim Jayden's father to handle business and get him back here. Well, a lot of good that's doing us since this Jayla took all these men with her and ran like a coward. She was going to pay for crossing me for that I would make sure of it. No one messes with me and live to talk about it.

Maxim's pov (Jayden's father)

The more I was around Jena the more I despised her and her beliefs. I no longer trusted her and didn't feel the need for her to be in control. I had a feeling she wasn't telling me the whole plan. I wanted my son back to marry Gypsy but now I am not sure she has the best of intentions for my realm either. She is just as hungry for power as Jena is and that is not good for anyone.

I lost Jayden's mother when she gave birth to our daughter. They both died so I was harsh on Jayden and now I have taken it too far and pushed him out of my life for good. No one knows where he is or if he is safe. I can't lose him because he is all I have left. I made a huge mistake and one that I am not sure I can take back.

A war was coming, and I had started it but now I wish I could take it all back. I didn't want my son to be with Jayla because she was Fae and if he married any shifter other than a dragon it would ruin our bloodline and we would become weaker. That worried me because once shifters smelled weakness, they would come for us. I wanted to keep my realm safe but now it's going to be destroyed because of this power-hungry duo that I brought together.

I promised Gypsy's father my son for her to marry but I didn't know their true intentions now I may have to pay that price with my own life. I just want to find Jayden and explain everything before it's too late. If this war happens, I will take the side of my son even if it means I can never return to my realm ever again. I would give up anything just to have my son back.
