Chapter five- she shows no fear

Alex's POV

This day and age is different. I have been alive for many many years.

Walking this earth without a mate, for the first few hundred years I didn't care, until I realised that it didn't matter who I slept with they couldn't satisfy me physically or mentally.

Not that I am much of a talker; quite the opposite.

Most people say that I am a man of few words and I have to say that I agree with them.

I am feared by most and respected by very few.

So you can imagine my shock when I find my mate and she happens to be the complete opposite of what I expected.

I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. The first thing I thought that she is human and a very short person.

She had very pretty eyes and I have to say she is very cute. Plus I love girls that are curvy. I have found out that they are more fun when they want to be.

I also realise that she loves food I mean she eats like a man. Not that I don't like that it's just different from most ladies.

What mostly came as a shock was that Tommy one of the most feared dragons in history showed interest in her and told everyone that she was his adoptive granddaughter.

The day that I meet up with him in the cafe I told him that Charlie was my mate but of course the old bugger already knew.

He also told me that his dragon couldn't fight his cancer anymore because of his mate dying.

Then he warned me that Charlie isn't like 'other women' I have been with.

He also explain that he is leaving Charlie his wife's dragon spirt. At first I was mad because she could die but Tommy said that she is stronger then I think.

Our convocation was cut short though when my mate came marching into the cafe with Tommy's wallet looking like an angry pixie which I couldn't help but find amusing.

What really gets to me though is how she can act like I am not there if it wasn't for me getting hints that she did notice then I wouldn't know what to do because I am not letting my mate reject me.

Today is the day of Tommy's funeral and I am waiting for Charlie to finish saying her last good bye to him before taking her seat next to me.

She looks like a lost kid like she doesn't know what to do but what's surprising is that non of her real family are here.

Once Charlie sat next to me they started which I blocked out because I have heated it before.

What got my attention was when Charlie hopped up from her seat and walked back to the front heading towards the stage.

When she got up there it was the first time I noticed her clothes and to say I was shocked is an understatement.

Here is my little mate standing up there in a very worn out pair of mechanic overalls.

People were looking at her with disgusted at her outfit choice and I couldn't help the low warning growl I gave them because most of the people that were here are some kind of mythical creatures.

"Most of use don't know me but my name is Charlie and Tommy was more then just a friend he was family.

I remember the first time I talked to him he was the first person to treat me nicely.

He took me under his wing and showed me that I should embrace who I am instead of trying to be someone I am not.

I have to say he was a very wise man, he told me about history and taught me how to re build cars.

I remember the first car that he taught me how to fix let's just say it took him to hours just to teach me how to change a hose." I couldn't help but let out a lite chuckle imagining her fixing a car.

"Anyway I could go on all day telling you about Tommy's and I memories but I know that there are other people that wish to speak.

So I'll finish by saying something that he said to inspire me and I hope it might do the same with you.

People that speak very few words are good listeners.

People that can't stop talking most likely like there own voice.

People that think there the queen are mostly dreamers.

People that are feared are most likely afraid of fear it's self, but my personal favourite is family that doesn't treat you like family aren't family at all." Charlie walked off the stage with silent tears running down her face.

Then something happened that I would have never have guessed all the mythical creatures started clapping and showing her respected.

When she was sitting next to me I couldn't stop myself form pulling her into a hug and also because my dragon who's name is Alec was getting angry because our mate was crying.

After everyone had finished there speeches we all headed to the club for his wake.

Which sucks because I missed the feeling of my mate in my arms.

I am sitting at the bar drinking a rum and coke, when I felt someone beside me.

I looked up and saw one of my ex's that just happens to be a pixie. She hasn't changed much since last time I saw her which happens to be about fifty years ago.

"Hello handsome long time no see" she said with a wink.

"What do you want Danielle?" I demanded in a harsh tone while my dragon was doing some kind of call that I didn't realise.

"I don't know maybe some fun." I scowled at the thought while turning around to get another drink acting like she wasn't here.

I heard someone loudly sit down on my other side. I looked sideways to see that it was Charlie.

I noticed that she looked tired but my gaze broke when I heard a snort from my left.

"I don't know what Tommy saw in you; I would be embarrassed to call you family." Danielle said with another snort.

I was about to speak when Charlie bet me too it.

"Oh really, good thing we aren't family then and Tommy had more respect then you I bet the only reason your here is for the free bar." Why did Danielle have to be here. I know for a fact that the only reason she is being mean to Charlie is because she is jealous of her.

I must have missed something because Danielle was jumping over me trying to get to Charlie. While screaming a bunch of curse words.

I held her back because I new that she wasn't going to fight fair and I know that my mate wouldn't stand a chance.

"ENOUGH!" I yelled that was enough for everyone to stop talking and look at what's going on.

People were looking at me with fear because they know what I can do and what I have done.

Danielle got up and left with her head held high. Then I looked at Charlie to see her looking at me with a angry look in her eyes there was no fear there at all.

Which I am not use to, I don't know weather to be impressed or angry because I am use to people fearing me and showing respect.

"I can take care of myself" I hissed before getting up and stomping away.

Alec my dragon was laughing at me, I am glad he thinks it funny because I don't or I know is that my mate is going to learn who I am and I hope that she doesn't look at me differently.
