Dragons Tower

Chapter 4

We set down and I shoved her to her father. I then proceeded to stalk off to change, without saying a word to her father or the huntsman out of fear that I would let my emotions slip. When I came back I had to restrain myself from killing the king when I saw that he was leaving bruises he was holding Kristen's wrist so tight. My mask came on and I waited.

" Good job Leo. Now why don't we go in the house, you huntsman are free to go home." 

" Yes Senor " He gave Kristen one long look and turned away. I could tell he hated leaving her, but it was necessary if the king was to brief me of his full intentions tonight. 

We headed inside and I had to fish in my pockets for the key I was given earlier. I had a hold of Kristen but not tightly, just with my lose hold on her I could feel her fear, I was nervous. One wrong move and it was all over with. 

"Take her through that dor there at the end of the hall on the right." the king said clearly disinterested in wherever Kristen went, because now she would be locked here until his plan commenced. I thought the house was beautiful but I opened up that door and immediately I tensed. She was not going down there. It led to the basement, completely dark but I could see and smell exactly what was down there. I balked and said, " This Room?" 

The king who had kept walking towards the small kitchen area stopped and said, " Yes? Do you have a problem with that? From what I've heard I thought you guys might like it actually." I wanted to rip his throat out I was so angry, and I was having a hard time of keeping my dragon under control. 

" So you've talked to Earnest then and understood the circumstances under which I had to quit." 

" Yes, Earnest had mentioned it a little after you left the meeting earlier, I was wondering for myself how you would react. You do not have to take her down there if you do not wish to. However, If you change your mind I will have no problem with it." 

' what is it?'  I heard her in my head quietly prodding trying to calm me without touching me. 

' Nothing, while we stay here, you will never ever go down into the basement, is that clear?'

" Where is the bedroom?"  The king smiled at my question, but I did my best to ignore it, and simply walked back to the front of the hallway and down the other hallway, the last door to the right held what I was looking for, a bedroom. I gently shoved her in there and closed and locked the door. Marc who had followed us in looked at me like I was insane, but I simply said, "Protect" in draconic speaking quickly hoping that the king wouldn't catch it and understand what I'd said. But from the small kitchen came sounds of coffee being brewed and Charlies voice saying

" He understands Draconic?' 

" Yes.' 

" What did you say?" 

" Guard." 

" Oh anyways, leonardo I was thinking that you would probably like to know the rest of your duties that this job entails. Follow me to the study." 

Walking through the study doors I shut the door quietly and waited for Charlie to Monologue. He walked around the huge mahagony desk, pulled out the rolly chair and propped his feet up on the desktop. Completely relaxed. I stood next to the door, gripping the handle and could feel it slightly warping under the slight heat and pressure I was putting on it. Finally once he had gotten comfortable he began, 

" well you will guard her both before and after the wedding, but when you get back to his kingdom you will quietly and discreetly kill them both as well as any other loose ends. Simple as that really, other than that you can do whatever you wish with her. You'll be paid forty-thousand total." 

" Not to be rude sir, but, " I sighed mainly to keep from exploding from how angry I felt. No one should ever talk about mythicals or human beings for that matter like he was. And especially not to me about my Mate, " Thats your daughter and you're giving me permission to.. to..," I couldn't even say it, " and then kill them both?" 

" She isn't my daughter"  My jaw dropped open in shock and my fists found the desk across the room that he was sitting behind so comfortable, I was going to kill him. I was seeing red and literally having an internal fight with my dragon. It would not be good if I shifted right here in the study.
