"what the fuck" I turned to see Ezra looking right at me in confusion, at least it wasn't fear. I did not mean for this to happen so quickly. I told my father that I needed at least a week when he made me call him earlier. How he got a phone I don't know.

"Please don't be scared" I had to tell him telepathically since that's the only way I could talk in my Zmaj form.

"I'm not" I could tell by his voice he was mildly scared, but I soon realized that he was worried at what happened to my human form. Guess I was going to need to explain.

"follow" I started walking in the forest hoping he was following me. Once I heard the crunching of leaves behind me I felt better. We reached a clearing just out of sight of the homes.

"don't scream" I tried to just ask but my worry got the better of me and I used my royal voice which was more of a command. I shifted back to my human form and looked at Ezra.

"holy shit"

"I'm sorry" I felt so guilty, argh, why.

"Why?"

"I didn't mean for this to be how you found out."

"okay so like tell me what did I find out the cause is lost," I thought back to my grandma's stories trying to think of the best way to explain what I am, one of her stories came to mind right way.

"I'm a Zmaj. It means dragon, before you ask I do have scales but they grow fur and I have no idea why" he laughed me explaining the scale thing " I'm kinda like a werewolf, but instead of a wolf, I'm a dragon." he was staring at me, I think in amazement, hopefully, it was amazement.

"okay" he stepped closer to me " now tell me the truth on why you were curious about that drawing"

"It's my family crest"

"Continue"

"what?"

"I know there's more" how was he so calm when I just told him I'm a Zmaj. He was so close to me now cause he took a step towards me with every word he said. "Fin, what else"

"Um, well, so there's this myth where I'm from right, just a myth, but like, we got soulmates and stuff, that's true, but a myth we have is that if one of our kinds soulmate is alike, ah you know"

"no I don't Fin." our noses were touching, I couldn't tell him what I thought he was. "tell me"

"The myth is, is that if your soulmates a royal then they will see their crest in a dream and that's how you will be sure it's them." once I said that, Ezra took a step back, but did not break eye contact from me. "I'm sorry"

"it's okay, it's okay" he stepped back closer to me and I'm pretty sure he was about to kiss me, but we heard a twig break to our right.

I had completely forgotten the whole reason I transformed and was going out here; I was meeting Anto.

"Hey asshole you're here ear-" he hadn't realized Ezra was with me till the end of his sentence. "oh, thought this was going to be a bros only thing but cool." Ezra looked really worried, he tried to push me behind him. I and Anto chuckled as I let go of Ezra and stepped to hug Anto.
