Claimed 《Book 6》

Chapter 10

Knock watched Korn dish up their food for lunch, he was trying to keep what happened this morning away out of his mind. Before Korn got back he hadn't slept a wink, he couldn't get the thought that something was wrong with Korn out of his mind. He would have gone to Type and asked if he could send someone to check on him if he hadn't heard something outside of his bedroom. This led him to getting out of his bed in his pajama pants and going to check on him.

He was pissed when he saw the huge purple bruise on his lower back. He got even more pissed when he noticed one of his wrists were wrapped and he had a big bruise on his abdominal. He was so pissed that someone hurt his friend. No one puts their hands on his friends ever. When asked who did this to him, Korn thought that he could get rid of him by making his briefs disappear. He didn't dare look down but his determination to find out who did this to him outweighed his feelings of discomfort.

When he finally got the truth from him...the rage that filled him could destroy the entire world. How could a father ever punish his child like that? Even if it's dragon culture, this is not okay. If he ever met Korn's dad, he would make him wish he had never been born. Knock was about to tell him that he wanted to beat the shit out of his dad and the others who dared put their hands on him when Korn shocked him by kissing his cheek.

That kiss shocked his whole system, even more than when Korn slipped on that rag and fell over, bringing him down on top of him. It was like when he kissed his cheek a fire started from the spot and it slowly traveled throughout his body, including a certain part of him that shouldn't be reacting to this. These feelings he was having were so confusing that he just told him you're welcome and turned and left the room.

He stayed in his room for the rest of the morning. He told himself he was just going to do some organizing in his closet but really he was avoiding him. Halfway through organizing, he realized that he was being ridiculous and that a kiss on the cheek was nothing and he was being silly hiding from his friend. After he finished organizing, he left his room and joined Korn in the kitchen. He was making lunch and they started talking about his friends. He had three best friends, Chord, Skyla and Disco. They apparently have been friends since they were all children when they met at their first flight ceremony.

"Chord is the oldest by two months and doesn't let any of us forget it. He's a business owner and he's the son of the second richest man in my land and he is mated to my sister's best friend, Veronica. They have a five-year-old daughter named Lyric." He said before chuckling. "She's a firecracker who is obsessed with me. I'm her favorite in our group which pisses Skyla off since she loves kids."

"You don't like kids." Knock said. "I thought you liked children."

"I do but Skyla is obsessed with children, her mate wants to wait since they just got married and he just started his business." He said. "Skyla is the youngest at twenty-nine. She's a hairstylist, she owns her own salon and she is the pain in all our asses."

"Why?" Knock asked.

"Because she wouldn't take no for an answer when we said we didn't want to play with a girl. We were stupid twelve-year-olds who thought girls were gross. I didn't really have a problem with her since I knew I was gay since I was ten, but I wanted to keep up appearances since I was still in the closet."

"When did you come out?" he asked.

"When I was thirteen, I mean everyone knew already since I showed no interest in girls and I was the demon prince who would claim a male mate. It was more officially coming out and really living life how I wanted to live it."

"That's cool, I'm glad that you get to live how you want to." He said making Korn chuckle.

"What's so funny?" He asked.
